American Gladiators host Hulk Hogan’s divorce is starting furiously to look like one of the NBC show’s altrasphere grudge matches.

After butting heads on dozens of issues, including the precise date of their 1983 wedding, the torn lovebirds now are feuding over the purchase of a fancy $4.2 million penthouse in Las Vegas. It is an argument that has the wife comparing the beefy screamer to an ostrich and dragging into the divorce well-known Vegas casino mogul (and the latest Britney Spears escort) George Maloof.

And then, there’s whether soon-to-be-ex-wife Linda Bollea, 48, should get more than 50 percent of their ample marital assets.

As soon as the starter pistol went off on this one with Linda’s filing in a Clearwater court right in time for Christmas, the shaggy-haired bottle-blond ex-wrestler, whose real name is Terry Bollea, 54, and his wife went at it. They’ve fought over: The release of financial documents, including Hulk’s Gladiators paystubs and his deal with Indian casinos for Hulkamania slot machines; their stable of cars, and each other’s supposed manipulation of their 17-year-old son Nick.

With Nick in jail for the next eight months after a car accident that seriously injured a friend, that battle settled itself.

Now this: For close to three months, Linda’s camp has been asking Terry to abide by a deal to recoup the couple’s $840,000 deposit on a Vegas penthouse bought pre-construction and pre-divorce at the Palms Place casino resort. It was Hulk’s job to get the deposit cash back, but with the closing near — butkus!

The big guy just “put his head in the sand,” according to a motion by Linda’s barristers.

Why? Because Linda believes Hulk is in cahoots with Maloof to avoid paying Linda her share of the deposit, according to court filings. Linda alleges Hulk struck a business deal with Maloof in which Hogan would be reimbursed the deposit after the divorce is final.

Maloof’s PR department didn’t return calls, while the Bolleas couldn’t be reached.

The only thing in Vero Beach anyone would describe as caliente is a street surface at 5 p.m.

But then, that was B.G., Before Gloria.

On June 16, Latin songbird Gloria Estefan will provide something that may shake up the sleepy Oceanside Treasure Coast town.

Miami Beach’s Estefan and her music producing husband Emilio will be on hand to cut the ceremonial ribbon of their latest business project: a boutique hotel. Ninety-four rooms, half of them beachfront, in a gutted 1973 hotel destroyed by two hurricanes in 2004.

And from the look of the daring new architecture — think swanky Miami Beach hotel circa 1950 — to the area’s first Cuban fusion restaurant-club inside, the Costa D’Este resort will stand out on a stretch that has several $100-or-lower motels.

“There’s been an effort to redevelop that area of the beach,” said Tim McGarry, Vero’s planning boss. “The hotel is the jewel of the street. The Estefans couldn’t have been more accommodating throughout the process.”

And it appears the couple made it happen on a shoestring budget that is probably millions lower than the advertised $50 million price tag.

Records show they bought the aging hotel for $12 million months before the storms. They have obtained county building permits for a total $7 million for the project.

Room rates will vary from $189 in summer to $389 in season.

The Estefans, who spend months each year in their own beach place just north of Vero Beach, hired a Texas management company, Benchmark Hospitality.

“The June opening will be quiet,” said Director of Operations Monica Smiley. “We’re accepting reservations.”

A grand opening will be scheduled for late fall, an Estefan spokesman said, possibly with a short concert by Gloria.

Costa D’Este is the Estefans’ second hotel. They also own five Cuban eateries in Florida.

Former Spin City star Barry Bostwick, who’s to report to the set of The Hannah Montana Movie for the first day of filming Monday, tells Page 2.1 he gave the director some friendly advice recently.

“I told Peter (Chelsom) to make sure she (Miley Cyrus) keep her clothes on for at least a year and half,” said Bostwick.

In a sense, it’s already too late for that. Vanity Fair’s been there, with the publication of pictures of the 15-year-old Cyrus semi-nude. But with the backlash caused by the pictures last week, Bostwick wouldn’t want the commercial viability of the film to be affected even more.

“I don’t think it (the Vanity Fair photos) delayed the movie,” he said, dismissing the photos as “teenage silliness.”

“We’re going to be shooting in Nashville for the next few weeks. Then some time in L.A. Should be done pretty quickly.”

Bostwick, a.k.a. Brad in Rocky Horror Picture Show, actually dangled the Disney movie’s script 15 feet away from me, but he wouldn’t give up plot details other than this: Hannah Montana goes back to her small country town to find Bostwick’s meany character trying to develop the village into a suburban hell.

“Kids won’t like me in this,” said Bostwick.

But if there’s something folks will like, the 63-year-old said, it’s Miley Cyrus.

“I’m told a lot of people will be surprised about how good she is,” he said. “She’s so sweet, nice and approachable. Just a good kid.”

Bostwick is in South Florida this week for the Delray Beach Film Festival. After being honored Tuesday, he received some refresher classes in surfing from U.S. National Champ Scott Posner, a local.

Before hitting the water the talkative Bostwick, a surfing nut in high school, had a few things to say about the April 25 Great White killing of a SoCal surfer.

“The shark did spit him out, he didn’t like it,” Bostwick said, “but he (66-year-old surfer David Martin) probably went the way he would have wanted to go.”
