More Hogan Family Smack Talk
June 16th, 2009
Will the Hogan family ever reconcile their differences? Maybe someday, but right now Brooke Hogan is still pretty sure she knows best, at least when it comes to her mom’s treatment of her in the media.
"I’m the only one with my head on straight," she tells E!’s Daily 10. "I don’t know what’s wrong with mom… dad and brother are doing good. I’m staying straightforward."
In another interview with E! News, Brooke explains that it’s her mom’s tendency to talk about her that has made her distrust her.
"I look at the things she’s released and said about me and I’m like, how could I ever trust her again?" she explains, referring to her mother revealing that Brooke had breast breast augmentation. "How could I ever look at her and be like, ‘You kind of threw me in front of the bus in front of the whole world… Who does that to their kid?"
Brooke’s been sticking to her dad Hulk Hogan’s side in all the family drama, adding, "I’m just looking at how my dad’s treating me and how my mom’s treating me, and my mom has kind of backstabbed me a couple times. I feel betrayed."
As for her mom’s current boytoy, youngin’ Charlie Hill, a former schoolmate of Brooke and brother Nick, Brooke replies, "He is a loser. I don’t have a problem with age, it’s more about character. Her love is not real and not right."
"I personally don’t like him," she adds after detailing all the material things he’s getting out of the relationship with the older woman.
So is there a bright side to all this for Brooke, whose second album, The Redemption, is due out July 21? Perhaps.
"Life has been really rocky, but it’s starting to look up," she says, adding that she’d rather talk about what’s going on than stay mum.
"You can be judged by talking about it or you can be judged by not. I’m an honest person. I vocalize a lot of my feelings. I might as well do it now, right?"
Linda Hogan’s Drug Test: Clean
June 3rd, 2009
Despite accusations of drug use flying back and forth between Linda Hogan, her ex Hulk Hogan and their daughter Brooke Hogan, it seems the mom of two is clean, according to her rep, Gary Smith.
The statement reads: "Linda Hogan responded to Hulk and Brooke Hogan’s public drug test challenge by going to a medical doctor and actually submitting to a full drug screening. After hearing of the malicious allegations, Linda immediately made arrangements to take the test first thing Monday, June 1st for the test which was analyzed at LapCorp labs in Florida."
And there’s even more, as the statement goes on to detail that all results are clean, with Linda testing negative for speed, Marijuana, cocaine, vicodin, morphine, heroin and PCP.

Hulk and Brooke had claimed that Linda was living a bad lifestyle and was using drugs with her younger boyfriend, Charlie Hill, who is 19.
But cleaning her name of any drug dirt isn’t enough for Linda, whose statement goes on to lay blame at her estranged family’s door.
"This has been a very vindictive and hurtful attempt to discredit Linda. She has opened her private medical records to disprove Brooke and Hulk’s horrendous, unsupported allegations. She asks the public respect her privacy on this matter so she may begin to repair her relationship with her daughter," her rep adds.
Hulk Defends Daughter Brooke
May 28th, 2009
The Hogan family has been going back and forth lately, with Brooke Hogan laying accusations of drug use at her mother Linda Hogan’s door. Linda then responded by saying her daughter had breast implants, among other things, in a letter to Perez Hilton.
"[If] Brooke continues to spew lies on behalf of her father’s lame attempt to distance himself from the reality that he is no different from the homicidal OJ Simpson, [Linda's new boyfriend] will be forced to put aside his paramedic/firefighting career path and release an album called ‘Redemption’ which will easily surpass any of Brooke’s records sales."
And now Brooke’s dad Hulk Hogan is stepping once more into the fray, with a statement from his lawyer, David Houston:
"Brooke Hogan has spoken out in support of her father only because of her mother’s repeated fabricated attacks on him. She is in the unique position of knowing both parties in this litigation and she has only spoken as to what she knows to be the truth based upon her personal experience with each. Linda has refused repeated invitations by Brooke to reconcile and given these recent comments it appears a mother/daughter relationship is impossible at this time. It is sad that Linda Hogan continues to attempt to throw her family under the bus to gain publicity.
In terms of the ongoing divorce suit, Hulk Hogan and his legal team would gladly take Linda up on her offer to submit to a legally supervised drug test and certainly Terry would do the same. We believe the results would speak for themselves and reveal that Linda’s idea of a good time would definitely not be appropriate for Mass or a family restaurant."
Can’t we all just get along?
Brooke Hogan: I Love My Body
May 5th, 2009
Four years ago, when Brooke Hogan, then 17, went on TV with her family in Hogan Knows Best, nobody could have predicted the turmoil that would engulf her life.
It has been a difficult period for the Hogans, with Nick’s car crash in August 2007 followed by Hulk and Linda’s separation a few months later. OK! met up with Brooke, whose next album is due out in July, at the Ritz-Carlton in Key Biscayne, Fla., to talk about how she’s coped and to discuss her show, Brooke Knows Best, which returns to VH-1 on June 7.
For the first time, the 5-foot-11 bombshell sets the record straight about all the family drama and her revamped, stunningly fit physique.

OK!: Have you always wanted to be a singer?
I’ve always been really passionate about music. My dad was, too, before he became a wrestler. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.
OK!: There was some tension between you and your mom for a while. Is everything resolved now?
I had a talk with her and I said, “I think everyone in America knows why I won’t accept Charlie.” But what people don’t know is that he’s a bad influence on her. She’s not staying as healthy as she should be. He’s 19, he can party his ass off. She’s 48. I said, “Mom, if you want to have a relationship with me you have to dump Charlie.” It’s not because of his age. If he were 5 years old and a good influence on her then that would better. But I’m just not happy with the situation because of their poor judgment — with what they do.
OK!: What kinds of things do they do?
I know there are things that could damage her health and make her get old really quick. I don’t want to see that happen. I’m trying to stick to the tough love thing. I’m just staying away until she wakes up. In order for me to keep my sanity, I have to love her from afar. We are totally different women. I’m straightlaced, don’t do drugs, stick to my regimen. It’s different there.
OK!: What can we expect this season on Brooke Knows Best?
It’s crazier. I went on a date with a girl. The girl was really awesome and we had a blast. Then it got to the point where she was wanting to kiss me. Everyone knows I do not go there.
OK!: Can you see how someone like Lindsay Lohan was straight and then switched?
Oh, totally. You can fall in love with anyone. I naturally migrate toward
men first; some people may be more open about it. Personally, it’s not me.
OK!: What are some of the best lessons you’ve learned from your dad?
The best advice he ever gave me is that you’re the only person in charge of your happiness. You can’t depend on other people to make you happy.
OK!: How do you feel about your current weight?
I feel great at this weight, but I’ve started sticking to a diet again. I’m trying hard to get down even more. You need to keep to the old-school bodybuilder diet of eggs, fish, chicken, meat and broccoli. I want to always look healthy, not anorexic.
OK!: Do you feel comfortable in a bikini?
I do. I love my body. Thick or not, I’m firm. I don’t have cellulite. I’m happy with how I am. People should know, I’m only doing the diet for the entertainment business. It’s not really what you’re supposed to look like in real life.

Brooke Hogan Knows Best

Brooke Hogan Defends Her Dad
April 17th, 2009
Brooke Hogan has jumped to the defense of her dad, Hulk Hogan, who publically likened the rage he feels towards ex-wife, Linda Hogan, to that of alleged killer OJ Simpson.
Brooke tells The Insider and ET, "I cannot believe how blown out of proportion one small part of a 7-page article has become. It’s a classic case of a quote being taken out of context."
Brooke says she has nothing but the highest respect for her dad. "I look up to my father in every way," she says. "He has been through so much and has taken the high road through it all. The idea that he would condone the OJ situation is just outrageous."
Nick Hogan Out of Jail
October 21st, 2008
After spending six months in the slammer for reckless driving, Nick Bollea, aka Nick Hogan, was released from Pinellas County Jail in Florida early this morning.
Hulk Hogan’s son was behind the wheel in August 2007 and allegedly racing another car, when he crashed the Toyota Supra, severely injuring his friend and passenger, John Graziano. The former Marine wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and will need medical care for the rest of his life.
Nick was set free for good behavior, and ran right into the arms of sister Brooke Hogan, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Mom Linda Bollea, who is in the middle of a bitter divorce from Hulk, released a statement on Tuesday morning to ask that the media respect the family’s privacy, saying:
"This is our time as a family to come together to support Nick’s adjustment back into the public life, keeping it as normal as possible. Neither Nick, nor we as a family, has any interest in making this anything but private. We respect the media’s role and only ask that they respect our privacy. Nick went into prison as a juvenile and has experienced something that will mold and affect him for the rest of his adult life. His focus is to make a positive difference in this world, media-free. Since his future actions will speak louder than any words, there is no need to speak to the media at this time."
