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.

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.

I like her. She is young and naive. She comes from a very unstable family and her mother is aweful. I couldn’t stand her on Hogan knows Best. I felt bad for Hulk cause she was so obnoxious. Nick is young and dumb and she is not objective when it comes to him and that crash, but that is her brother and she loves him so she will defend him, which I expect and respect her right to do so. She could be doing a lot of other stupid crap but she chooses to stay healthy so I think that is great.
SRY Brooke, but you look like a total dude. But I’m sure she meant, if he were 5 years oldER and a good influence. Or maybe she’s just not that intelligent.
She probably meant to say five years old-er.
The 5 year old thing was just her saying that the age thing wasn’t her primary concern…she’s mostly concerned about the partying. It was inartful but I understand her point.
Interesting statement about losing weight for the industry. Not sure how I feel about her admittedly caving, but it’s better than the insipid anorexic starlets who declare “I feel better like this. I lost the weight for me.”
Re: dating a girl. So not cool to be playing around with a woman’s feelings for a stunt. “Everyone knows I don’t go there” then why did you go on a date?
most honest interview about body and dieting in hollywood ive seen in a while.
I like what she has to say, but she looks so beat. She needs to quit caking on all the makeup.
the whole family is so disgusting
and the Hogan marriage is reality show curse stat. Beening on a Reality show kills the marriage
Brock is looking pretty damn orange. What’s the deal Brock, can’t be in the sun after the peen-removal operation, gotta hit up the sevin nyne shit?
She thinks she invincible in all this since so far she’s the only Hogan to not have a major eff up…
I have a feeling when Linda’s midlife crisis is over things may straighten out a bit for that family.
step away from the bronzer, honey.
She’s not my favorite person but the girl has managed to keep it together after her parents messy divorce, brother getting locked up, and her mom’s man candy! That’s a lot.
I think she doesn’t have a bad body…it’d look weird if she decided to go super thin. Her build wouldn’t allow it.
But I seem to recall her getting implants in…doesn’t that destroy the whole “loving my body” thing?
I think she meant to exagerate the age thing. Like saying “I wouldn’t care if my mother dated someone at any age as long as they were a good influence”.
God, lay off her already. Out of the Hogans she’s the only one who isn’t a complete waste.
Embee, no need to translate for her. But whatever she meant, to me she loses all credibility by saying it as an orange person.
what sort of loyalty is this… even if your mother were doing drugs, is it really a good idea to be speaking to the press about it? jeez, what a retard…
lol j ferber, that cracked me up big time…
you’re so racist! orange people need love too :-p
wow she looks a helluva lot older than 21.
Orion70 I was going to say the exact same thing!
Maybe Brooke really does know what’s best! Considering her up-bringing she seems at least to have her shit together.
Are you sure that’s not Brooke’s mother in the photo?
She looks about 48 herself! The orange skin, the kilos of make-up to make up for a blokey face, and the dopey expression don´t help much…
