EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, the Daily Edge digs through the celebrity dirt to bring you the best of it. Here’s The Dredge…

Sex tape starlet Hulk Hogan has spoken out about the film of him enjoying intimate congress with his best friend’s wife Heather Clem, saying it has “devastated” him. Which is funny, because at the time he said it made him feel “like a pig”. (Radar)

Hulk suggested the bedroom fun was not spontaneous, and happened only after protracted contractual negotiations with Heather and her husband Bubba The Love Sponge. “There was ongoing dialogue for two years.” (OMG)

But things have now gone sour. Hulk has now warned Bubba: “If you had anything to do with [leaking] this, we were never friends,” suggesting that he does not understand the concept of linear time. (TMZ)

The Words

Rural Tipperary: Where Jim Carrey’s ‘mystery’ new girlfriend apparently comes from. The comedian was photographed with a bikini-clad girl on the beach in Malibu, and that girl is 26-year-old make-up artist Cathriona White from “a very small rural village in Tipperary”. Dating 50-year-old Jim Carrey is just one of the many perils of emigration. (Radar)

Warpath: What Gary Barlow is now on after the weekend’s X Factor elimination debacle. He has reportedly threatened to quit if it happens again, demanding that the show focus on “genuine talent”. Meanwhile the contestant at the centre of it all, Rylan Clark, has got a big tattoo of Gary’s face on his back. (The Sun, Mail Online)

Househunting: What Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are reportedly doing, checking out mansions worth $7-10million in Miami. If they move in together, Kim will probably want to stop going on ChatRoulette. Oh, and she grabbed a handful of Kanye’s bum. (TMZ, Mirror)
