If Brooke Hogan And Tiffany Pollard Know Best, The World Is In Trouble
 Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

Now that tabloid-savvy America knows that Linda and Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea are in the midst of a divorce; and their youngest, Nick Hogan, is the defendant in a trial for the DUI that left Marine John Graziano in a coma; VH1 is all:  okay, maybe Hogan doesn't know best, maybe Brooke Hogan does.  They didn't come right out and say that, of course, but Hulk Hogan appeared on Jimmy Kimmel in January and announced that the show will continue, but focus will shift to Brooke - and VH1 has confirmed that they've picked up 10 episodes of the newly-titled, "Brooke Hogan Knows Best."

So, you know, 2 + 2 =...

Above, Brooke Hogan frolics on set of "Brooke Knows Best" in Miami Beach Thursday, while Hulk Hogan hangs around the set.

Agonizingly, VH1 is also continuing the Tiffany Pollard charade, with 10 episodes of "New York Goes To Hollywood," where Pollard aka New York moves to LA, and - after sucking face with so-called fiancee George "Tailor Made" Weisgerber all last season - is now, not surprisingly, putting him "on the back burner" for the new show.

Even more agonizing is that Hollywood Reporter revealed VH1 has "for the first time...entered the list of top 10 basic cable networks among the adults 18-49 demographic in primetime so far this quarter."

I've admitted that I've been a morbidly curious occasional tuner-in of VH1 "reality" shows...this awful habit screeched to a halt when I was on vacation and heard five little tween girls quoting "I Love New York" word for word.  I decided then and there that if I ever get around to having children, they are definitely not going to learn about dating from "celeb reality" shows that advertise noncommittal relationships, lots of random hookups, teeny bikinis, and flying off to foreign lands to get drunk and screw some more.

Hence the name of the brainchildren (or lack thereof) of VH1's new celebreality success, "Mindless Entertainment."  Sorry!- the guilty pleasure, trainwreck shows may be amusing in their D-list shock value, but it isn't so harmless when young people aspire to be like that!  Eesh! I'm not referring to Brooke Hogan show when I say that, by the way...she doesn't do that on the Hogan shows (as far as I know)...but blimey, her family has enough problems, can't they take time to heal off-camera?

When a 19-year-old pop singer daughter has been metaphorically crowned the all-knowing matriarch of the family...dude, something's amiss.
