Brooke Hogan "Freaked Out" Over Mom’s Romance
Not everyone approves of Hollywood cougarsleast of all their cubs.
Brooke Hogan’s reaction to her 48-year-old mom, Linda, dating someone 29 years her junior? “I’m totally freaked out,” she told satellite radio personality Michael Yo during a conversation the two had off air.
“I personally don’t like it at all or condone it, but she’s my mom, so I have to show her support.”
The Hulkster’s daughter also confirmed that mom’s man-child, Charley Hill, 19, was a classmate of hers and her jailed brother, Nick.
“I went to school with him. He was a grade under me…Me and Nick know him well. Me and Nick are two years apart, and he was right between us (in school).”
While nothing about the Hogansperma-tans and peroxide ’dos includedmight seem normal to anyone else, Brooke says she thought her family was just a run-of-the-mill Hollywood clan, but that perception has changed a tad.
“I am just staying the course and dealing with it and supporting my family,” says Brooke. “I’m actually on my way to see Nick now…You know, I thought we were one of the normal Hollywood families. It’s crazy watching it all fall apart, but I hope for the best.”
Alba, Kidman and Heigl: Oscar Beauties
Alba, Kidman and Heigl: Oscar Beauties
After a stellar showing on the red carpet, Hollywood’s leading ladies continued to light up the night as onstage Oscar eye candy.
Soon-to-be-mommy Nicole Kidman is definitely taking full advantage of her “pregnancy glow,” garnering the full and undivided attention as she presented an award tonight. Her black satin dress, peep-toe heels and plentiful diamonds just may win her the best-dressed award in our book.
Fellow preggers actress Jessica Alba scored an honorable mention in her mauve free-flowing strapless gown with feather accents. From her disposition, it was clear that she’s getting to that uncomfortable stage of her pregnancy.
And “Grey’s Anatomy” babe Katherine Heigl pushed the fashion envelope just a tad in a vibrant red one-shoulder dress, complete with her new short blonde ‘do and fabulous teardrop earrings.

Most Action Packed Hulk TV Spot Yet!
Below is a new TV spot for The Incredible Hulk and it is probably the best one we’ve seen. Lots of action and a tad of humor at the end, which we haven’t seen much of so far. We also see Bruce spit out some lung tissue or some part of his insides while transforming. Nice…
Just over two weeks to go!
Gossip Girl: Woman on the Verge
(S01E17) “We’re here to help Serena no matter what the problem is.” - Blair
After a “wow” episode last week, expectations (at least mine) for this week were pretty high. I had loads of questions about the video and hoped that answers would be giving in “Woman on the Verge.” The episode definitely met my expectations and set the scene for what could be an action and drama packed season finale next week.
What I liked most about this week’s episode is the “no matter what” friendship seen between Chuck, Nate, Blair and Serena. They were able to put their problems aside and work together. As the saying says, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” The quartet definitely proved that saying this week.
Blair stood out of the pack when she faced Lily and told her that sending Serena away was not the answer. I’m glad Lily was told the complete story because it was time for an adult to intervene. Even if what happened in the hotel room was terrible, Serena was not the reason why Peter died and she needed to understand that.
I’m a tad disappointed at the complete storyline now that we got the answers. Serena has been really freaking out about this story so I actually expected her to have killed someone willingly (maybe as a dare or something) or accidentally but being the official cause for it (maybe while playing with a gun and a bullet gets shot). So having Pete OD on drugs he brought in the room was a tiny let down. There was a huge build up last week and we’ve been wondering about the secret since the season premiere so the revelation fell a bit flat. Blair pretending she didn’t know what the secret was (okay, she didn’t know the details but she knew about the “I killed someone” part) made the scenes of her saying that Serena could trust them, that they did worse things than she did, a bit weird. Since the secret brought the gang back together, I’m willing to forgive the writers.
Georgina continued to show how evil and twisted she is. That girl will need to fall hard and pay the consequences of her acts if she ever wants to go back on the right path. I was almost clapping when Vanessa confronted Georgina as I thought the latter would finally start to pay. But Dan being Dan, he believed Georgina’s crocodile tears and story about an ex-boyfriend who stalked her. Dan is too gullible at times and I’m afraid he’ll get corrupted by Georgina. I truly wish Serena finds a way to show him who Georgina really is. Maybe having him watch the video will be the answer. Plus, it’ll allow Serena to finally be truthful to him, which will help them patch things up.
My memories of the first episode are a bit iffy so you guys can help me here. Didn’t Dan say he had a crush on Serena for years? So why doesn’t he know Georgina? Serena and Georgina used to hang out together before they both skipped town. One could assume that Dan saw them together at one point, no?
Other tidbits of interest:
- Lily and Rufus kissing. Those two are made for each other. But I believe Lily will do the right thing and marry Bart since Serena asked her not to hook up with Rufus because it would be weird with Dan.
- Rufus’ band wasn’t that bad. It was nice to see Lisa Loeb in the episode and hear her perform.
- “None of us are saints.” - Nate
- “I’m Chuck Bass.” - Chuck summing up the bad deeds he did.
