Brooke Ellen Bollea (born May 5 1988)
better known by her stage name, Brooke Hogan, is a
singer, and appeared on a reality television show.
Brooke Hogan was born in Tampa, Florida, and is the
oldest child of Terrence Gene “Terry” Bollea
(professional wrestler Hulk Hogan) and his wife Linda.
Brooke appeared on the reality-television series Hogan
Knows Best, which focussed on her family, and which
premiered on July 10, 2005 on VH1. In addition to Brooke
and her parents, the Bollea family includes her brother
Nick.
Hogan is currently pursuing a pop music career with her
parents acting as her managers.
Biography: Both Hogan and her brother Nick were
home-schooled. In high school, she took dance classes,
voice lessons, gymnastics, and cheerleading. She joined
the squad of her St. Petersburg school, Admiral Farragut
Academy, in her freshman year. Brooke graduated from
high school at the age of sixteen.
When Brooke Hogan was thirteen, her parents arranged for
her to meet with record executive Lou Pearlman.
Pearlman, who had worked with such artists as Britney
Spears, the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, was impressed
by the thirteen-year-old singer, but thought she could
use a few years to mature and improve.
In early 2002, she returned to Lou
Pearlman, and proceeded to sing for him again and
perform a piano medley. Pearlman was impressed, and
Hogan was immediately signed as a Trans Continental
Records artist. At one time she was handled by the
management services of Larry Rudolph, well-known for
representing famous clients like Britney Spears and Nick
Lachey. Her first song in the United States singles
charts was "Everything to Me". Hogan was the
first artist signed to Scott Storch's record label,
initially called Storchaveli Records but later named
Storch Music Company. Hogan's video premiered on the
season two finale of Hogan Knows Best.
Hogan has also found success alongside her father. The
two teamed up for an hour-long profile on VH1, (Inside)
Out: Hulk Hogan, Stage Dad. The success of this special
spawned an entire series: Hogan Knows Best debuted in
July 2005 and was the highest-rated series premiere in
VH1's network history. The series, which helped her
become a household name, was according to Hulk Hogan
intended in part to promote Brooke's music career.
Her father is extremely strict on dating. He enjoys
enforcing stringent restrictions on prospective suitors,
as seen on Hogan Knows Best. According to an interview
with Hulk Hogan in Maxim magazine, he threw Aaron Carter
out of his house after less than an hour after finding
Carter to be arrogant and disrespectful.
On Hogan Knows Best, Hulk placed a GPS
tracker on her vehicle that enables him to track her
whereabouts and can even remotely shut down the engine
of Brooke's car if he feels the need to do so. However,
in a later interview, she reveals, among other things,
that her father has loosened up a bit upon her
eighteenth birthday.
Hogan appeared in FHM November 2006 editon becoming the
first FHM Cover Model under twenty-one. As a result, the
November issue had no liquor advertising: "In the
very rare instance that you might have a cover star
under the age of 21, they don't want to be in the
position of seeming to market to anyone under age".
Hogan is currently working on her second album and
filming the fourth season of Hogan Knows Best. |
