Wrestler Hulk Hogan makes it as magazine cover boy
Thursday August 14, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) Hulk Hogan has wrestled his way to magazine
cover boy.
Hogan is featured on the cover of duPont Registry's new
automotive lifestyle magazine Celebrity car, which showcases the
vehicles of sports and entertainment personalities who are
passionate about their rides. It debuts on newsstands across the
country Tuesday.
The inaugural issue of the quarterly publication also features
the wild wheels of Washington Wizards all-star Jerry Stackhouse,
adventure author Clive Cussler, former NBA and NFL cheerleader
Bonnie-Jill Laflin, the NFL's Barber twins Ronde & Tiki and Hogan.
``I've had a passion for cars for years, collecting anything
from Harleys to hot rods, and I wanted to share this with my fans
and car enthusiasts alike.'' Hogan said, showing off his 1994
``Hulkster'' Dodge Viper. ``There isn't any substitute for
horsepower.''
The magazine also features Atlanta Braves slugger Gary
Sheffield, who discusses his customized collection that includes a
Bentley Arnage T and Cadillac Escalade ESV with 24-inch spinner
wheels. Skateboard extremist Tony Hawk shows off his Lexus LS430.
``This is a magazine with a premise unlike any other,'' said Tom
duPont, chairman of duPont Publishing. ``We wanted to create a
magazine solely devoted to entertainers and the passion they each
share for life in the fast lane.
``It opens garage doors and peers into the souls of the world's
most intriguing automotive enthusiasts,'' he said.
