Brooke Hogan

Yesterday Defamer posted a video of Brooke (child o' Hulk) Hogan at the VMAs. She didn't know who Sarah Palin was and her excuse was that she's just been sooo busy. Sigh. What I couldn't help noticing (besides her ignorance) is that she's looking more and more like Cameron Diaz! Thoughts?

In the fight for girl power, three women have jumped into the ring in the past 24 hours with very different viewpoints. Katie Couric, in Israel covering Obama's world tour made this striking proclamation:

I find myself in the last bastion of male dominance, and realizing what Hillary Clinton might have realized not long ago: that sexism in the American society is more common than racism, and certainly more acceptable or forgivable.

Sexism trumps racism? So what's a girl to do? Oh! I know! We'll ask Brooke Hogan (of the dubiously-named Brooke Knows Best) what the role for women should be! Here's her take:

I think it's kind of crazy that a woman is running because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I'm so moody all the time, I know I couldn't be able to run a country, because I would be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, you know?

Surely a gal has to be Wonder Woman to exist in both realms, fighting for a world where woman can and should be allowed to do it all, amid the utterings of a generation of Brooke Hogans who glimpsed the dream of equality and said, "nah." That superhero fighting could be the very element that's undoing feminism. To see how, read more

We've been counting down the most shocking headlines of 2007, and we'll be revealing one more each day through December 21. We hope you enjoy this look back at some of the posts and stories that we certainly weren't expecting to see.

While most of this year for Hulk Hogan and his family consisted of another season for Hogan Knows Best and Brooke's near constant inclusion on worst dressed lists, in late August the family suffered a tragedy, changing their year and lives irreparably. Nick Hogan was the driver in a serious car accident that left his passenger and good friend, John Graziano, in a vegetative state. Details quickly emerged that he was allegedly involved in a street race at the time and had a pretty terrible record of traffic (and whoa, speeding) violations. Nick's license was suspended and he was eventually arrested, but that is the least of his worries as Graziano, an Iraq war vet, remains in the hospital and is not expected to recover. There are also stories that underage Nick had been drinking before getting behind the wheel that fateful day. The stress of the tragedy proved to be too much for the family, and in late November Linda Hogan filed for divorce from Hulk after over 20 years of marriage. Hulk recently said he feels hopeful about both situations. I'm sure that he hopes 2008 and his premiere as the host of American Gladiators is a new beginning in more ways than one. As we look back on this story, our thoughts go out to the Graziano family.
