It's hard enough to grow up with a world-famous
father. It's even harder when your family's home life is broadcast to the world
via a reality TV series. But such is the case with Brooke Hogan, daughter of wrestling champ Hulk Hogan, who has managed to take all of it in
stride, even amidst the messy public divorce of her parents and her brother's
jail sentence for reckless driving. Despite it all, the blond star is about
to release a new album and begin Season 2 of her VH1 reality series, "Brooke Knows Best," which
premieres Sunday, June 7, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on VH1. And she couldn't be more
optimistic. We caught up with Hogan to talk about her music, her show and
whether she'd ever get in the wrestling ring like dear old dad.
MSN TV: As you prepared for Season 2 of "Brooke Knows Best" and again invited cameras into your life, was there anything you did differently this time around?
Brooke Hogan: I just keep being myself. This time I'm just a little bit uninhibited. Whatever is going to come out is going to come out, and I'd rather have an entertaining show and have people see the fun side of me than try and be too censored, so we just let it rip.
Would your life be a lot different if the cameras weren't around? How much do you have to restructure your day to make it work as an interesting television show?
My life as it is, is interesting enough, so I think just following us around is what they like to do. If I didn't have the TV show I would probably be doing the music thing still but nobody would know about it.

Will we see your love life on the show this season?
You will get to see my love life, which is always crazy as usual. And you'll get to see once facet of my love life which is actually kind of crazy where I dated a girl. And it's not because it was my choice but because of Glenn. It was Glenn's sneaky idea.
How did the date go?
Well we all went on dates with girls. Glenn has been having really bad luck in his love life, and he's gay and can't find any guys that are compatible with him. Back when he was 18 he used to be engaged to a girl, so I said, "If you liked girls back then, why don't you try it again?" So he said, "If I do it, you have to. I want you to see what it's like to date the opposite sex than what you're attracted to." So I figured how bad could it be? It's just a date. You go to dinner and then you're done. Well it was a little bit more crazy than that.
How do you feel about gay marriage?
I think that people are putting too much emphasis on how important it is. I think if you love somebody -- whether you're gay or straight or whatever -- having it on paper isn't the important part, it's what's in your heart.
