Hulk and Nick Hogan have settled the lawsuit filed against them on behalf of John Graziano -- the U.S. Marine who was seriously injured in Nick's 2007 car crash.
Though the terms are confidential, a source tells TMZ Hulk settled to avoid a media circus at trial and to make it "as painless as possible" for both the Hogan and Graziano families.
The Hogans' attorney, David R. Houston, tells TMZ they are "pleased as this was in the best interest of John."
As we previously reported, Linda Hogan -- who was also sued over the crash -- reached a settlement with the family last month.

Justice was delayed but not denied for Tyrese this morning -- that pesky felony citation is off his back for good.
TMZ first reported Tyrese got the felony citation for allegedly leaving the scene of an accident in Miami last month, even though we posted pictures of him at the scene with cops.
Today Tyrese's lawyers, Jayne Weintraub and Jon Sale, went to court and the prosecutor officially dropped the case, proving a TMZ picture is worth a thousand words.
You're welcome.

Vanessa Hudgens endured a small personal tragedy earlier today -- she severely scratched up the front of her very expensive automobile.
It's unclear how the damage to the front passenger side of her new Audi occurred -- but the "High School Musical" star was seen waiting in a West Hollywood supermarket parking lot while a AAA employee helped her get back on the road.
Fortunately, she can probably afford the repair bill.
UPDATE: Vanessa's rep tells TMZ she only suffered a flat tire and was not involved in any sort of collision.
As for how the scratches occurred -- the rep says it's a mystery to him.

Renee Zellweger got nailed today in Pacific Palisades.
For some reason Renee was visiting Bradley Cooper's new house sometime before 9 AM. Bradley hasn't even moved in yet and he was nowhere in sight.
Renee parked her Prius on the street and got out. When she eventually returned to the car at 9, she opened the driver's door to get in, when an elderly woman in a BMW almost took Renee and the door out.
Renee was unscathed but her door got nailed.
Fifteen minutes later Bradley showed up and Renee hitched a ride.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was involved in a two-car accident this week -- involving another one of his ridiculously awesome vehicles.
TMZ has learned Rampage was driving a new black Audi R8 -- valued at more than $100k -- home from the Audi dealership in Orange County, California on Tuesday when he was hit by a woman driving a very not expensive black car.
We're told Rampage was not injured in the wreck, but the back end of his badass ride suffered some pretty extensive -- and expensive -- damage.
Rampage tells TMZ police arrived on scene and cleared him of all wrongdoing. The UFC fighter added, "I am thankful and happy no one was hurt. I tried to make sure the elderly woman that hit my car was OK ... she didn't speak much English, but I could see she wasn't hurt in any way."
As for his own condition, Rampage said, "I am fine, the little old lady is fine, but my car got hurt, and for that I'm sad."

For once, the paparazzi may have saved Lindsay Lohan from a major legal war -- law enforcement sources tell us the video of her vehicular run-in with a photog this weekend proves the incident was far from deadly.
As TMZ first reported, Lohan's driver was a "person of interest" in an assault with a deadly weapon investigation after she allegedly clipped a pap with her car while trying to drive Lindsay through an alley this weekend.
But law enforcement sources tell us authorities watched footage of the incident and have decided the collision doesn't meet the standards of an assault with a deadly weapon. Frankly, we watched the footage and the "alleged assault" looked like a bunch of nothing.
We're told it's possible the driver could be targeted for hit-and-run ... but not because anyone was seriously injured.

Congressman Aaron Schock lost control of his car after sliding over an ice patch in Illinois yesterday -- and banged into another vehicle on the streets of Peoria.
No one was injured in the accident, which Schock's rep described as "minor."
We're told both parties were able to work things out without the police -- and Schock, who was in route to an official district event, still arrived to the function on time.
Amazingly, his abs arrived early.

Chris Henry -- a wide receiver on the Cincinnati Bengals -- is fighting for his life after falling out of the back of a moving pick-up truck earlier today.
Police tell TMZ Henry had been involved in a "domestic situation" with his fiancee in North Carolina, when she tried to leave her home in a pick-up truck. Cops say that's when Chris ran after the truck and hopped into the bed.

According to KYPost.com, Henry is believed to have suffered "severe head injuries."
Henry was transported to a local hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.
We're told a crime scene unit is currently at the scene conducting an investigation.

A moving truck, along with two utility vehicles just showed up to Tiger Woods' house in Windermere, Florida and the mover is carting off some art.
The art, we're told, is wrapped up. Elin Nordegren and the kids just arrived home in her red Buick from their lunch (see video).
And this is interesting. Two utility vehicles just showed up and the workers brought ladders inside the house. Elin talked to the workers for about 10 minutes, and then left with the kids.
TMZ first reported there was damage in the vestibule of the house ... a result of the argument that preceded Tiger Woods' SUV crash. We do not know if the workers are there to repair the vestibule.

TMZ has learned NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw was involved in a 3-car accident in New York today around 1:00 PM Eastern Time.
Brokaw was in his car with his wife. A woman in one of the other cars died when she was thrown from her SUV.
Brokaw and his wife, Meredith, are OK.
The Brokaws just released the following statement:
"Tom and Meredith Brokaw, at around 1 p.m. today, were in a three vehicle accident on the Bruckner Expressway. The Brokaws were in the far left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane.
Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw lane of traffic. As the mail truck careened into the Brokaw lane, Tom hit the brakes hard and skidded along the median. When the mail truck catapulted the median the Brokaw vehicle slid into it.
Neither Tom nor Meredith were injured but tragically the driver of the SUV was thrown from her vehicle and killed. Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life."
UPDATE: The victim has been identified as a 28-year-old woman, who worked near the scene of the accident. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.
UPDATE 6:05 PM EST: The FDNY just released more information about the accident, explaining, "the vehicles collided & [the SUV driver] went off the highway & to the ground below ... Another male went to a local hospital in serious condition- private ambulance transported him."

LeAnn Rimes -- no stranger to ramming into things she's not supposed to -- was at it again today ... but this time the victim was an un-married golf cart.
According to witnesses at the scene, LeAnn was backing out of a parking spot at The Commons shopping center today in Calabasas, CA when she collided with a security golf cart.
We're not sure who was at fault -- but we do know there were no injuries and the matter was taken care of privately.

Tiger Woods has already paid the price for careless driving -- a whopping $164 ... TMZ has learned from official documents.
According to docs, Tiger paid his careless driving fine yesterday ... the same day the citation was issued by the Florida Highway Patrol.
The last ticket Tiger got in Florida was way back in 2001, for unlawful speed in a construction zone.

Tiger Woods was driving crazy before hitting the fire hydrant.
A diagram in the official police report shows Tiger was driving so erratically, he drove over bushes and into some hedges before hitting the hydrant and ultimately the tree.
According to the police report, it'll cost $3,000 to repair the hydrant and $200 for the tree and sod.
The report also states that it took 30 minutes for officers to arrive to the scene from the time of the crash.
The report shows that Tiger -- who wasn't wearing his seat belt at the time -- caused $8,000 worth of damage to his Cadillac Escalade -- check out the photos taken by the cops.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Tiger Woods has canceled yet another meeting with the Florida Highway Patrol.
We're told Tiger's lawyer canceled the meeting the FHP had wanted for 3:00 PM ET today. The lawyer gave no reason for the cancellation.
One of the things authorities want to see -- the wounds on Tiger's face ... whether they were caused by the accident or during a domestic dispute with his wife.
UPDATE: Here's how the FHP describes today's attempt to talk to Tiger: "The troopers went to the house to see if they could speak with Mr. Woods. Mr. Woods' attorney was present and told investigators that Mr. Woods was unavailable for an interview. Mr. Woods' attorney provided the troopers with Mr. Woods' driver's license information, registration and current proof of insurance as required by Florida Law. The crash investigation is ongoing and charges are pending."
