Nick Hogan is drifting to jail.

Angst-ridden, but appearing ready to accept his fate, the son of pro-wrestling legend Hulk Hogan pleaded no contest today to a felony charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. The plea, entered in a Pinellas County, Fla., courtroom, stemmed from an August car crash that left passenger John Graziano in critical condition.

"Every single day I think about the accident…and pray for John every chance I get," said Hogan, whose real name is Nick Bollea. "There will never be a day in my life where I ever will forget this. I know for a fact that I've apologize to the Grazianos…I do genuinely mean that, I'm terribly sorry."

But Judge Philip Federico showed little mercy, sentencing the 17-year-old to eight months in county jail along with five years' probation and 500 hours of community service for drag-racing under the influence of alcohol and causing the Aug. 26 wreck.

Looks like Chris Martin's ready to work on Apple and Moses' college fund.

He and his Coldplay pals just announced the first batch of dates for their world tour in support of their upcoming fourth studio album, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, which hits stores June 17.

After two free shows, London's Brixton Academy on June 16 and New York's Madison Square Garden on June 23, the easy-rocking Brits will kick off the paying portion of Viva La Vida on June 29 in Philly and target mainly arenas, along with the odd stadium and festival.

After the initial North American dates wrap Aug. 4 in Chicago, the band will jet to Japan for gigs in Osaka and Tokyo on Aug. 9 and 10. The second North American leg launches Oct. 20 in Montreal and ends Nov. 22 in Salt Lake City.

Joaquin Phoenix has walked the line, now he's walking the walk.

His turn as Johnny Cash was apparently as inspiring as it was inspired: The Oscar-nominated actor is cutting an album of his own with help from Tim Burgess, the frontman for British rock outfit The Charlatans.

Burgess told Billboard that plans for the project came about after Phoenix took more than a mere liking to guitar playing, which he learned for his 2005 Walk the Line role, calling it a cathartic process.

"Once he learnt guitar he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music," Burgess said.

Phoenix performed in character on the Grammy-winning Walk the Line soundtrack, contributing nine songs, four of which were duets with costar Reese Witherspoon. The album has gone gold and peaked at No. 9. Phoenix also performed a set of Cash tunes in 2005 at the Man in Black's most famous venue, Folsom State Prison.

As for his new endeavor, Phoenix is taking his time to complete it, according to his collaborator.

"All the tracks...were brilliant," says Burgess. "But I think he just kept scrapping everything or redoing everything. I'm sad to say that I think it's one of those records that may never come out, to be honest with you."
