For Brooke Hogan, The Family That Pole Dances Together Stays Together

9:10AM Kyle Buchanan | Sure, reality star Brooke Hogan doesn’t know who Sarah Palin is (or the identity of our current vice president, for that matter), but it’s only because she’s been working so hard! After all, who has time to brush up on politics when you’re busy taking striptease classes with your mother? Yes, on last night’s episode of Brooke Knows Best, Brooke decides that a pole-dancing lesson will be just the thing she needs for a workout, and she decides to bring mother Linda along, too. Showing off the moves that would eventually bag Linda a nineteen-year-old boyfriend and strain her relations with Brooke, the cougar supremo humps the pole and floor in an unnerving mother/daughter celebration of post-postmodern female empowerment, disguised as a workout routine at Crunch. We can’t wait until a very special Christmas episode of Brooke Knows Best, when Linda returns the favour and.gifts Brooke with a coupon for pairs’ Kegel exercises at the downtown Miami Y [VH1] More »

Brooke Hogan on Sarah Palin: ‘Who’s That?’

2:15AM Defamer Hollywood | Though it’s only been a scant ten days since John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his running mate, it’s hard to find anyone on earth immune to the media onslaught that followed. Oh, for the halcyon days of mid-August, when our nation was more consumed with the abdominals of Michael Phelps than the baby-making, celebrity-stifling, Liz Lemon-resembling Palin name! To meet the rare creature who still knows nothing about the controversial candidate would be like staring into the windows of our pre-RNC innocence, and reader, we found such a transcendent experience on the carpet of the VMAs last night: More »

Brooke Hogan’s Worst Year Ever Documented For Celebreality Posterity

11:15AM Seth | Brooke Hogan, the Saddest Reality Star on Earth, popped by GMA this morning to plug her new VH1 show Brooke Knows Best, where she was made to react to all the truly awful things to happen to her this year. By way of review: Her brother’s best friend was left brain dead from a racing accident with her brother Nick Hogan at the wheel, for which he is currently serving an eight-month sentence. Also, her mother filed for divorce from her famous wrestler dad, and is now dating a 19-year-old. And where most of us would choose to cope with a year of unthinkable tragedy and heartache by, say, not submitting ourselves to 24-hour reality film crew documenting every emotional breakdown, Brooke has chosen the perhaps more challenging route, and done precisely that. To her credit, were it us in that situation, we’d probably be shitfaced and trying to make out with Sam Champion—but Hogan manages to admirably hold it all together. Let’s hope she doesn’t wind up being shuffled through the VH1 Celebreality repertory, and wind up roomies with Natasha Lyonne on Celebrity Rehab, or judging a hot-fudge-massage contest on her own competitive dating show, Hogan On To Love.
