Weighing in on her brother’s recent woes, Brooke Hogan took to her MySpace blog to set the record straight. Sort of. After claiming that Nick Bollea’s reckless driving trial, which ended in an eight-month jail sentence, was based on lies, Brooke deleted her message.

“I know most of the public thinks my brother is some rich little selfish kid, but NO ONE knows the real story and I’m really pissed that the truth didn’t come out from either side,” Brooke said in a post she labeled “BS.” “A LOT of lies were told in that trial. Believe me. And it wasn’t from us.”

As for the Hogan family friend, John Graziano, who was critically injured in the crash last August, Brooke claimed, “John was NEVER home. He was at our house. ALL THE TIME. that should say enough….”

Maintaining that cryptic tone, she continued, “Im not going to be out spoken right now, but If some s--- doesn’t start getting straightened out, A lot of people are going to eat their words for lieing. I know all of the truth and I have back up. I never know how twisted this world could be but I’m starting to figure it out. And I’m gonna have to jump off my high road and tackle some ppl who are taking the low road.”

Later Brooke deleted the message, as she’s apt to do, and replaced it with a new one entitled “wtvr.” In the revised post, Brooke only assured, “I have the truth on my side. And the truth will set everyone straight sooner or later. PEACE.” And, as a postscript, “yes I took my last one off cause I know itll go around anyway. Have at it ppl.”

Will do.

Reports of a split started circulating Monday after a supposed Tony pal said, “He told us they broke up and that was that.”

According to Jess, not only is the romance still on, she thinks Tony could just be Mr. Right. “I don’t know about that yet — I’ve been down that aisle.” But she added, “I want to be married and have kids.”

Dish on the fly
Soon everyone can wear black perma-leggings like Lindsay Lohan. The long awaited release of LiLo’s legging line is almost here, but impatient fans can sneak an early peak at the must-(not)-have gam glam. A photo from a recent promotional shoot revealed three unique styles of leg wear, but the best of the bunch has to be the pair aimed at the rough and ready club girl who relies on kneepads for form and function. … Revealing the downside of romancing Trekkies, William Shatner told Page Six his evenings with female fans often ended with comments like, “So, this is what it’s like to be in bed with Captain Kirk!” The “Star Trek” star, whose personal version of the Captain’s Log, “Up Till Now,” was released Tuesday, added, “You can’t imagine how much of a downer that is in every sense of the word.”
