John Graziano’s Dad, Edward Graziano, Plotted to Kill His Wife
The father of John Graziano, best friend of Nick Hogan [Bollea] who was severely injured in the car accident that sent Hogan to jail, has been arrested and stands accused of plotting to murder his wife.
Edward James Graziano has been under investigation since December and during that time he propositioned an undercover agent about killing his wife Debra. He was arrested Thursday morning at his Palm Harbor home.
Graziano met with the agent and the tipster multiple times to plan the murder. According to detectives, he paid $1,100 in cash, $1,000 in a personal check and a $13 gift card to Westshore Pizza. He supplied the men with his wife’s schedule and asked that the murder be made to look like a car accident.
Debra and her attorney, George Tragos, were informed of the undercover investigation when it began. Tragos said, “We found out about it in mid-December that there was an investigation. And we were warned so that we could be careful. And Debbie’s only reaction is she’s very saddened by it. And she can’t understand why more tragedy would be heaped upon a family that has already suffered so much.” He added, “She will not leave the area because she will not leave her son. Her primary concern is John Graziano.”
Finances may have been the motive.
Graziano is said to be upset that he and his wife haven’t worked since his son’s accident and were strapped financially.

Dita Von Teese Lands a Record Deal
Dita Von Teese is set to begin recording a new album after recently signing a record deal.
The burlesque star has been wanting to branch out into other artistic ventures such as writing and acting.
She confirmed the deal saying, “I signed a deal with Interscope in Europe.”
Ugh. I love Dita, but as I have said before, they will give anyone a record deal these days. I just can’t see Dita taking over the charts and will be floored if she is any good. Should I go out on a limb and say it will be highly publicized and over synthesized?
