On Friday, we had the new photos of Hulk Hogan celebrating his 58th birthday by going to a PETA-sponsored exhibit of nude photos of his daughter, Brooke. The alone was pretty gross, but it was made more disgusting by the face that Brooke posed for too many photos making kissy-faces at her father, and he, in turn, posed for pics by putting his hands on his daughter’s nude photos. Well, Brooke has listened to our collective icks, and she thinks we all need to just STFU and go home.

Brooke Hogan has lept to the defence of her wrestler father Hulk and says they are not in a ‘perverted relationship’.

The 23-year-old recently took her father to the unveiling of her nude PETA photoshoot in Miami which only helped to fuel negative rumors about their closeness. But Brooke says she is fed up of people being suggestive about them and wants it to stop.

‘Im SO sick of people saying me and my dad are in some perverted relationship,’ Brooke posted on her Twitter page yesterday.

Hulk feigned embarrassment when he saw his daughter lying naked behind bars as part of the Women In Cages exhibition last Thursday. But this is not the first time the purity of their relationship has been called into question. Back in 2008, photographs of the 58-year-old wrestler rubbing sunscreen on Brooke’s upper thighs as she lay on a sun lounger by the pool caused a furor online.

Hulk supervising Brooke’s semi-nude Maxim shoot that same year did little to quell the rumors.

Brooke tweeted to her ‘haters’ that they should mind their own business. ‘Go home and do your own thing!’ she tweeted. ‘Stop picking on me!’

The professional wrestler, real name Terry Gene Bollea, did what any protective parent would do and placed his hands over her body to cover up her modesty when he first saw the picture on Thursday.

Are we picking on her? Really? When you pose nude for a PETA photography exhibit, invite your father (on his birthday) to see those photos, and then proceed to act inappropriately around him while posing for photos – something that has happened several times before, mind you – are WE the ones with the problem, Brooke?

Here are some new photos of Brooke over the weekend. Here’s a note to all of the bottle blondes out there: when your hair blends in with the white sails of a sailboat, it’s time to go for a darker blonde.

Hulk Hogan celebrated his 58th birthday last night by taking his 20-something blonde girlfriend to see his 20-something blonde daughter’s nude photo exhibit. You think I’m joking. I’m not. Ordinarily, I’d rather eat death than write about Hulk Hogan or anyone vaguely related to Hulk Hogan, but this was simply too ridiculous to pass up. Brooke Hogan had posed for a photo series called, I kid you not, “Women In Cages”. It was sponsored by PETA, because… you know, animals are kept in cages, so how best illustrate that point than by getting Brooke to take off her clothes and pose inside a cage? For real. And her dad came out to see it, on his birthday! Because what father wouldn’t want that for his birthday?

And there’s all of the kissy-faces that Brooke always makes around her dad. Okay, surely someone is with me? This is gross, right? I’m not the most physical person, especially with my parents, so maybe that’s why this is so gross to me. But I cannot imagine being an adult woman and making kissy-faces at my father.

By the way, Hulk recently called into a BBC radio show, and he had some thoughts on the London riots:

“I just heard what’s going on in the streets, man, and I thought just maybe Hulkamania should run over there, start dropping legs, start hitting people with big boots and just stop the action. Let’s rethink, brother, rethink this whole thing and get these kids together and change their thinking in a positive direction and break the cycle of this craziness of where they were raised and where they’re at. Everyone’s got a story, which is ‘So what?’ but what now? That’s what needs to be done. Change the direction of the youth over there. Everybody wants the kids to get back on track. It doesn’t matter if Hulk Hogan’s over there, body-slamming all the youth like I did Andre the Giant. But at the end of the day we need to grab these kids, shake ‘em and say stop. Just regroup – look at yourself in the mirror and say, ‘Is this what you want the mirror image of your life to be? Is this what you want your destiny to be?’ Now it’s time to change directions, even if the state has to step in and really focus on getting these kids back on track, brother, but you know what? I will do anything, because I love my UK Hulkamaniacs, brother.”

I can’t. I won’t even start.

Hulk Hogan, 57, married his longterm girlfriend, Jennifer McDaniel, in an intimate beachfront ceremony at his home in Clearwater, Florida last night. McDaniel, 35, bears a striking resemblance to Hulk’s 22 year-old daughter Brooke, but is much more age-appropriate for Hulk than his ex wife, Linda Bollea’s fiance. Bollea, 51, is engaged to a 21 year-old boy who is a former schoolmate of her 20 year-old son, Nick. There’s a lot of weirdness going on in this family. Bollea wasn’t invited to Hulk’s wedding and he seems to have beaten her to the aisle. (She’s probably not in a hurry to get married anyway, considering that she’ll probably give up the $40,000 a month Hulk pays her in alimony.)

The happy event was not without it’s setbacks, with Hulk’s security guards roughing up a photographer and cops called to the scene. It all sounds typical for a Hogan gathering. The good news, I guess, is that Hulk and McDaniel had a prenup, so when this relationship goes south Hulk might not go totally off the rails. Also, Hulk’s ex Linda is writing a book. The idiot should have secured a gag order along with that hefty settlement he paid her.

While the couple was exchanging vows at an intimate ceremony in Hulk’s backyard, which lasted no more than two minutes according to one insider, Hulk’s hired help grappled with the shutterbug who was trying to snap shots of the happy couple.

“Hulk’s security team was in the background throwing around the paparazzi who was standing 200 feet away in the shoreline water,” said one source.

RadarOnline.com has confirmed cops were called but no one was arrested.

However, a source close to the photographer tells us he later filed a complaint with the Clearwater Police Department, alleging assault, battery and destruction of property.

“Hulk’s snappy wedding clip just might be subpoenaed since they are in the background punching it out!” added the insider.

“The paparazzo wants charges filed and plans to sue for physical, financial and emotional distress.”

As RadarOnline.com previously revealed, Hogan suddenly decided to marry McDaniel after securing the all-important prenuptial agreement.

Said our source: “Jennifer got wind of ex wife Linda Hogan’s new book My Life on the Ropes which will allege a number of Hulk’s affairs and infidelities.”

[From Radar Online]

In terms of what Linda might be covering in that book, McDaniel wasn’t the first woman that Hulk took up with. He also cheated on Linda with a 33 year-old who just happened to be his daughter’s best friend at the time. That mistress, Christiane Plante, was a brunette though. Hulk ended up marrying the mannish blonde who looked just like his daughter instead of staying with his daughter’s friend.

Hulk flash is at 1:10

DListed got ahold of this video of Brooke and Hulk Hogan making you never want to play or purchase a new singalong video game called Def Jam Rap Star. While rapping along to Notorious B.I.G., Brooke wags her ass in short shorts. The scene then cuts to Hulk pulling aside his shorts to (presumably) flash his manhood to the camera. Thankfully it’s all covered by a black box that’s unnecessarily large. (Yes I stole that concept from DListed.) You know that thing is shrunken to pea-size from years of steroid use. Hulk is just trying to show off, but it’s disturbing. Brooke looks shocked and then amused, which might indicate that she hasn’t seen it before, although that’s doubtful.

By having Hulk flash his junk, they got us to watch this minute and a half commercial. Now that we know this video game has Hogan taint on it we’ll stay far away, thank you. Do you remember the incident in which Hulk was photographed putting some lotion on Brooke’s butt? Brooke later defended that scene by comparing her ass to an “old car.” What’s her dad’s dick then? No, really, all the metaphors I can come up with sound dirty to me and I’m scared to even mention them. Ok, tootsie roll, twig, week-old 7-11 hotdog, earthworm, string bean,lady finger, cucumber sandwich. We should go with one of the inedible choices.

Hulk, his girlfriend and daughter. Guess which one is which.

I’ve never really been into the whole Hogan thing. I get why people like to talk about them and everything, and I have formed an opinion about the whole family (family = gross), but usually I can’t work up the energy to care. Not today, however. Because it looks like Brooke Hogan and her boyfriend Stack$ have broken up. That’s it, people, this is the day the music died. Who would have thought that a girl with an Adam’s apple and a dude named Stack$ couldn’t make it work? What is this world coming to?

It seems that things have cooled off in Miami Beach for one music couple. Brooke Hogan exclusively confirms to Life & Style that it’s completely over between her and aspiring rapper Yannique Barker, a.k.a. Stack$.

Brooke’s rep, Janice Lee, confirms to Life & Style, “Brooke Hogan and Stack$ have split but remain friends. He was a big part of her life for a very long time, and she still cares about him and his family dearly. Brooke would like to thank her fans for their kind words and sensitivity during the breakup.”

The two were first spotted as a couple last April in Miami Beach, where Stack$ was helping Brooke shoot her music video for her song “Falling,” in which he was featured.

Stack$ was also seen on Brooke’s reality show Brooke Knows Best.

You know what this means, right? Brooke Hogan is back on the market! Who’s available? Is her dad single? I just mean that her dad has a type, and his type seems to look an awful lot like Brooke. Ew… I just grossed myself out. But seriously, who would be good for Brooke? Bradley Cooper? Gerard Butler?!? How about Courtney Love? Courtney wouldn’t be so bad, actually. I could see that.

Here’s a nice one of Brooke, Hulk and Hulk’s girlfriend. Yeah. This isn’t weird at all.

Brooke Hogan and her mom Linda may have finally reconciled. They were spotted out together having dinner in Los Angeles this weekend. Does this mean Linda’s broken up with the young-enough-to-be-her-son boyfriend Charley Hill? Hardly. Though in the past Brooke has said Linda would have to change a lot of things about herself (including Charley) if she wanted a relationship with Brooke, apparently Charley was negotiable. Not only are he and Linda still together, but Charley came along to dinner too!

BROOKE HOGAN and mum LINDA appear to have put their bitter dispute behind them. The pair enjoyed dinner out in Beverly Hills on Saturday night and were even joined by Linda’s toyboy lover CHARLEY HILL.

Reality TV star Brooke was snapped in buoyant mood while leaving Madeo Restaurant, indicating a reconciliation.

Brooke cut ties with Linda, following her mum’s bitter split with ex-hubby HULK – taking her dad’s side in the divorce battle. Linda angered her daughter further by dating Charley – a former schoolmate of Brooke’s.

The singer previously said her mum needed to change her ways in order to repair their relationship. Brooke said: “I hope we do but she’ll have to go through a lot of changes – spiritually, mentally and physically… She’s going to really need to find a good spot to be in.

“I’ve tried to help but it’s too awkward and weird. We are two different people now.”

I find it hard to wish anything good for the Hogans, given how they handled Nick’s car crash and nearly killing his best friend. And there was so much public mud slinging between Hulk and Linda that whatever little bit of dignity they still had was unceremoniously tossed out as soon as they separated. But once in a while when Brooke talks about her mom I can’t help but feel some empathy for her. Not that I find Brooke particularly likable, but growing up to realize you don’t like or respect a parent is really hard. And it seemed like most of Brooke’s issues with Linda were well founded. Dating your daughter’s former classmate? That’s obviously not done to make her feel good. It seems like Brooke is much more mature than Linda, whatever that says. Considering Charley’s still in the picture, I’m guessing Brooke’s being the bigger person here.

Brooke Hogan supposedly pulled out of a concert in New York this past weekend after suffering an anxiety attack. Of course no reason for the attack was given, other than the general suckiness that is the Hogan’s. To complicate matters, dad Hulk was supposed to host the radio station event, which also featured Sean Kingston, LMFAO and Kristine Elezaj. But he dropped out to be with Brooke. Which probably is a good thing to do as a parent, but leaving a big concert without a host and not bothering to explain isn’t a fabulous situation either.

Brooke Hogan generally comes across as pretty calm and collected as she cruises around in her VH1 show “Brooke Knows Best”, but beneath the surface she seems to be suffering some serious medical problems.

The 21-year-old reality starlet/songstress was scheduled to perform alongside Sean Kingston, LMFAO & rising pop princess Kristine Elezaj at PARTY 105’s MEGA JAM Concert in New York this past Saturday. However Pop Tarts has exclusively learned that Hogan pulled out at the last minute after suffering anxiety attacks, along with some other medical ailments.

We’re also told that her famous father Hulk Hogan (who was scheduled to host the whole concert) then withdrew in order to be by his daughter’s side, forcing organizers to proceed without a hosting replacement.

“Brooke is incredibly sensitive,” a source close to the starlet said. “She really cares about everyone around her and takes on a lot.” A rep for Brooke did not respond for comment.

The beach-loving blonde recently took a shot at a second studio album entitled “Redemption” and with it exposed a number of very personal emotions.

“All of the drama with my family and me and my mom and the separation between us and all that crazy stuff, I actually wrote about that,” Hogan recently told Tarts. “I actually have a song called ‘Dear Mom’ and it’s about the trials and tribulations with my mom, the battles with the press – and I’m in love, so I wrote about that and just everything that I’ve been through.”

[From PopTarts]

So it seems like Pop Tarts is basically guessing that the cause of Brooke’s stress and anxiety is about her family issues, and not performance anxiety or something like that. They don’t give any specifics about the attacks or even vaguely hint at her other medical issues, but they have had several scoops about the Hogans that have proven accurate. I don’t think anyone’s all that impressed by Brooke singing or performance skills. It seems like she’s just trying to work the little bit of fame she’s got left. If there’s really so much stress in her life, why not back off a bit? I doubt she needs the money, and it’ll probably do her career more harm than good to book gigs she can’t actually do. And it’ll give the blogs a few less unsavory pictures to post. Here are a few!

Just in case you thought the Hogan family had put their issues with each other aside, I’m here to tell you… not so much. They’re also still really big on lying and fabricating the truth, considering they’re giving very different versions of a story, only one of which can be true. Brooke Hogan turned 21 last week in an appropriately tacky party at Pure nightclub in Vegas. According to Brooke, she invited her mom Linda – with whom she’s been estranged – to her birthday part, but Linda didn’t bother to show. According to Linda’s people, she was never invited.

Brooke Hogan was all smiles as she celebrated her coming-of-age last week at Sin City’s Spago Restaurant alongside her boyfriend Stack$, father Hulk, brother Nick and a few close friends — but notably absent for the intimate affair was her mom, Linda Bollea.

Brooke reached out to her mother numerous times and let her know that she was more than welcome at any of her birthday celebrations and that she would love her to be there, but Linda chose not to attend, said a source.

“Linda was really, really hurt,” another source told Tarts. “But Brooke has sided with her father in all of this, she was adamant about not celebrating with her mom or extending an invitation.”

Following dinner, Brooke partied with (and couldn’t keep her hands off) her beau inside PURE nightclub while typically protective Hulk looked on disapprovingly.

[From Fox News’ Pop Tarts]

It’s hard to side with anyone in Hulk and Linda’s divorce, considering how reprehensible their behavior has been. It’s not surprising that Brooke would be creeped out by her mom’s relationship with a 19-year-old former friend of her younger brother Nick. But her dad also said he understood why OJ Simpson killed Nicole Brown, so you’d think she’d want to stay far away from both of her parents.
In related Hogan news, near-killer Nick has wanted his own reality show for a long time. Because he’s such a wonderful, special person and not one of the world’s greater assholes. Unfortunately for dear Nick, no one’s willing to touch his show – or much of anything having to do with him.

“I want to do where I’ll make the most money,” Nick said [to Hulk in audio tapes of Nick's jail phone conversation with his dad during his incarceration] , his father adding that he’ll produce the show and make his son the owner.

But so far Nick hasn’t [had] any luck with that controversial show of his, with an insider telling Tarts that the production companies and [sic] hesitant to even touch it. A rep for VH1 (the network behind “Hogan Knows Best” and the spin-off “Brooke Knows Best”) confirmed to Tarts that there was nothing in the works regarding Nick.

Although the now 18-year-old has made the move to the outskirts of Tinseltown and still has high hopes of making it on the big-screen.

“He wants to start his own charity,” a source close to mama Linda said. “He wants to make a name for himself.”

[From Fox News’ Pop Tarts]

Um, a charity for what? If I were to be forced to list 10,000 adjectives that describe Nick Hogan, never ever would I say anything along the lines of “cares about others.” Obviously he wants to start his own charity to try to look like a better guy than he is. Though to be fair the guy who robbed my neighbor’s apartment is better than Nick Hogan is, so it wouldn’t take much. Surely he doesn’t need to start a charity to improve his image. When you’re considered nothing but scum, anything is a step up. Hell, he could just slow down at a yellow light once in a while and people will think he’s a little bit less of a douche bag than he is.

Here are the Hogans at Brooke’s birthday party on May 5th in Vegas. Images thanks to WENN.com .

Brooke Hogan has a new interview with OK! Magazine promoting her latest album and ongoing reality show. She’s inevitably asked about all the drama in her dysfunctional family and she makes some shockingly stupid statements. Brooke, 21, hints that her 49 year-old mother is doing drugs with her 19 year-old boyfriend, Charlie, although she doesn’t directly say that, just that whatever they’re doing could damage her mother’s health. She also denounces her mom’s boyfriend as a bad influence, but says that it’s not about his age because “If he were 5 years old and a good influence on her then that would better.” Let’s give this fool the benefit of the doubt and assume she meant to say “if he were 5 years younger and a good influence.” That would make Charlie 14, which would make her mom’s relationship with him a felony. It’s just mind boggling that this woman would claim that she would rather her mother date a five year old. Even if she misspoke, the alternative is also an idiotic thing to say.

Brooke also talks about her healthy diet and is proud to say she doesn’t have cellulite:

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 body builder 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.

[From OK! Magazine]

At least Brooke has a sensible body image and isn’t afraid to say that she’s happy to be a regular size. I think Brooke looks great and she can maybe serve as a better role model than Kim Kardashian, who admits she has cellulite but gets offended when she’s associated with larger sizes. As long as you don’t pay attention to anything else Brooke says at all, she’s a decent role model for a healthy body image and doesn’t do drugs. Reading this idiotic article makes me wonder why don’t we hear more from normal successful celebrities like Natalie Portman. Some days the gossip is full of these crap stories from reality show starlets who say the stupidest things.

A year ago most of us wouldn’t have cared enough about the Hogan family to watch five minutes of television about them. Now they’re getting their own hour-long E! True Hollywood Story episode. Both Hulk and Brooke were interviewed for the episode, along with several of the family’s friends. Hulk’s soon-to-be ex-wife Linda declined to be interviewed and son Nick was in jail at the time. I’m guessing a prison interview either wasn’t possible or wasn’t deemed to be good PR.

There’s a lot of talk about how hard this last year has been on the family, and most – including the family friends – seem to have come to the consensus that the main problem was their reality show Hogan Knows Best. Which is funny because I always thought that the main problem was the Hogans. Here are a few snippets E! released in advance of the show.

Hulk Hogan on his feelings over the divorce: “It was shocking. … I didn’t know if I was going to vomit or pass out or cry, and I kind of took a few moments, and it was like I got kicked by a mule. … I was one of these hopeless romantics that thought no matter what happened, I thought I would be the one who was married forever.”

Brooke Hogan, leading up to Hulk’s “Larry King Live” interview: “It was to the point where we were getting so just slaughtered with this press of just false rumors and false stories, it was just like the truth has to come out.”

Brooke Hogan, on her dad being alone: “There’s been times where he’s been alone that have scared the living daylights out of me and I’m like, ‘Dad, I’ll be right there.’ He’s very emotional, and he starts over thinking things, and he starts getting really sad.”

Brooke Hogan, on her father’s current girlfriend, Jennifer McDaniel: “I really do like Jennifer a lot. It would probably kill my mom to hear this. I’m glad that she’s around because, you know, I’m trying to do my own thing and work, and it’s like I can’t be there 24/7 so it’s nice to know that there’s somebody that I trust with, you know, taking care of him as much as I would.”

Hulk Hogan, on Nick’s sentencing for reckless driving: “When the judge said you’re gonna get 8 months in jail, Nick didn’t turn around and look at me for advice, guidance or anything. He just took it like a man. I never got to say goodbye to him, you know.”

Brooke Hogan, on how the incident affected her brother: “Nick, for being in his situation, for being in the public eye, it was a good lesson. He definitely he got a wake up call.”

Brooke Hogan, on the effect of her brother Nick’s car accident on her parents’ relationship: “The accident, I think really showed them that they just don’t view things the same as individuals and as parents, you know, so, it was just kind of like a wakeup call. I just think that all the stress of our life kind of made it happen sooner.”

[From TampaBay.com]

If Hulk really wants to improve the family’s media image, he’s got to stop saying anything complimentary about Nick. Things like talking about how he took his sentence as a man just make people want to slap him. No one respects him more for that, he just didn’t get criticized for NOT taking it like a man. There’s nothing special about it.

I don’t think it’ll be possible for this family to ever rehab their image. Not just because what Nick did was so revolting, but because the family has never publicly apologized for raising the little douchebag to think that racing cars is more important than other people’s lives. They’ll never get an ounce of sympathy because they’re constantly trying to justify their abhorrent behavior. It seems like Hulk and Brooke have occasionally learned how to temper their comments, but they’re still the two biggest media chatterers, so it’d serve them best to just shut their mouths altogether.

The show will air on E! November 7th.
