Introducing: Inmate Nick Hogan

Nick Hogan is righteously screwed after being sentenced to eight months in prison today. 

The 17-year-old Hogan Knows Best star faced the music for his August drag-racing crash, which resulted in a reckless driving charge and the near-death of his close family friend, John Graziano, who is probably comatose for life.

The music includes five years probation, 500 hours of community service, no driving for three years, no alcohol for five years, and all the regular DUI drama that Nicole Richie knows all too well.

Nick had the decency not to plead innocent, or to dispute the conviction brought against him - but the Graziano family nonetheless feels rattlesnake-like venom toward him.

'We have never once heard Nick apologize for what he has done or take any ownership for his actions,' the victim's sister told the judge in court today, alluding to the vacation-abundant year Nick has had.  This, in contrast with her family's everyday caretaking of a there-but-not-there family member.  Who wouldn't be bitter about that?

Nick was quick to set his record straight though - turning to look the Graziano family members directly in the eyes as he told the judge that he knows 'for a fact' he has already apologized, but that he 'will never be able to say sorry enough times.'

Nick actually did seem ridiculously sorry as he told the judge he 'loved John to death' and hadn’t driven since the night of the crash.  Not that it will do him any good!

Boy is gonna be bitch-slapped rrrrreal soon.  In fact, today - the judge ordered him to be locked up right after the trial....like right now!
