Brooke Hogan has survived her family turmoil with her own reality show, a quasi-promising music career, and a sterling reputation relative to the other members of her family. Hulk Hogan comes out next best, losing points for dating a younger woman who looks suspiciously like his daughter. Linda is next on the Totem Pole of Respect, docked severely for her desire to incarcerate former husband Hulk, and the fact that she's dating a former classmate of her children. Worst, however, is Nick Hogan, who is in jail for vehicular assault after putting a friend in a coma while driving like a madman. But, these are all things that we already knew. We're one week into Brooke Hogan's reality series Brooke Knows Best, and the world is still trying to wrap their collective heads around the Brooke Hogan era (actually, they probably aren't). What does it all mean?

With no rules but her own, Brooke Hogan is embarking on a whole new world as she stars on her own show, Brooke Knows Best, which premieres tonight at 10pm on VH1. The spin-off of Hogan Knows Best, which run for four seasons and followed the real lives of the Hogan family, follows the 20-year-old reality TV starlet as she moves out of her father’s roof and settles into an apartment in Miami.
Born in Tampa, Brooke Hogan came to national fame through Hogan Knows Best, where much of the attention focused on Brooke as she attempted to launch a singing career with her the help of her father, legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan.

Brooke Hogan suddenly looks like the calm center of an unstoppable maelstrom. The 20-year-old daughter of former wrestler and entertainment personality Hulk Hogan gained notoriety on Hogan Knows Best, a VH-1 reality series that focused on the trials and tribulations of the entire Hogan clan (Hulk, Brooke, mother Linda and brother Nick). Since the last season of Hogan Knows Best, the family has endured an unfortunate series of devastating events. Nick is currently in jail after getting into a car wreck that put friend John Graziano into a coma. He is two months into an eight month sentence. Soon after, Linda and Hulk divorced after 24 years of marriage. Linda is now dating a 19-year-old former classmate of Brooke. Needless to say, times have been tough for Brooke, who continues to pursue a career in the music industry. With her own reality series, Brooke Knows Best, premiering this Sunday on VH-1, Brooke spoke to Access Hollywood about her family.

Linda Hogan, one of the stars on the reality series Hogan Knows Best, is reportedly requesting a judge to keep Hulk Hogan away from her, claiming that her estranged husband is having a hard time giving her the space she asked for.
The Hogan Knows Best matriarch filed a motion in Pinellas County Court on June 30 accusing Hulk Hogan, who is also known as Terrence Bollea in real life, of stalking her since she filed for divorce last November, according to documents obtained by TMZ.com.

Is it ever a good idea to have your family followed around by cameras for a reality show? Is that supposed to improve the family dynamic, increase trust, cultivate a good parent/child relationship? No, of course not. There are only two reasons that anyone ever puts themselves or their loved ones on reality TV, 1) money and 2) fame. That's it. Sometimes one of those is more important to the other. Why Hulk Hogan agreed to have his family followed around by cameras for Hogan Knows Best is probably a combination of the two – his family could use the money, and his kids probably wanted to be famous. Now, in an interview with People Magazine, Hulk Hogan has admitted that maybe having cameras invade the Hogan's home may have been a bad idea and perhaps led to the divorce between him and his ex-wife Linda Hogan. "I just think the reality show amplified the problems that were already there,” said The Hulkster. In the interview, Hulk also expresses his continued love for Linda, his relationship with Brooke and Nick's time in jail.

Apparently, Linda Hogan might be a little insane. If the whole Hogan saga wasn't crazy (and sad) enough, a tape of Linda Hogan calling 911 was released to the internets yesterday. It's nothing major, nothing disturbing, and is actually kind of funny. The Hogan Knows Best family has had their fair share of family drama over the last year or so, culminating in the divorce of Linda and Hulk, plus the incarceration of Nick Hogan for vehicular assault. Daughter Brooke is the only member of the family to emerge unscathed as yet (though her music career may end up being the biggest crime of them all). All in all, times are not great for the Hogan Knows Best clan. The 911 tape from Linda Hogan is only more clear evidence that this family is not right. In the tape, Linda claims that Hulk is breaking a restraining order of sorts by camping out in front of Linda's house. The only problem with this claim: when Linda speaks to 911 she's following Hulk in her car, as they drive away from her house. Below, you can listen to an MP3 of the 911 tape.
