Brooke Hogan

I met Brooke Hogan tonight! And I saw Nick and Hulk Hogan as well as the Hulk’s very young girlfriend, but we didn’t talk to them.

She was very nice and polite and didn’t seem to mind taking a picture.

I write about celebrities for a living, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen one in real life. I have to say that all that bullshit about “Celebs – They’re just like us!” is so not true. They’re not just like us. When I go to the mall my hair and makeup are not perfect. I don’t have a fake tan and fake boobs. I can’t just walk into Burberry and Gucci and buy whatever I want. And people don’t follow me around gawking or ask for my picture.

Random tidbit — I am 5’4″ and in this photo I was wearing 4″ inch heels. Sooooo…at 5’8″ I barely come up past Brooke Hogan’s boobs. Also, in case you can’t tell she is even more fit and toned in person than she looks in all the photos I’ve ever seen of her. She looked amazing, I was really impressed — she must work out all the time.

  1. haha, it took me a minute to realize her purse is almost the same color as the background, before i realized that it looked like she had an amazingly tiny waist.

    she must make me look short too

  2. Absolutely cool!! The only “celeb” I’ve ever met is Carlos Ghon (yeah, I know, WHO is that? – Renault’s CEO :s)

  3. I always expected celebs to look worse in person than they do on TV, but when I met Tyra Banks it was like you said…she looked so good, I almost didn’t think it was really her!

  4. That’s really cool. For what it’s worth though, I think you look prettier than her. I’m sure she has an amazing body, but she looks a little too plastic to be real.

    It sounds like she’s pretty nice. I would have been too worried I’d piss her off to approach her if I had been in your shoes.

  6. Funny picture. What luck that you had your camera. Well…I guess you probably always have it on you. ;-)

    IMHO, you are much more beautiful than Brooke.

  7. Haha, Lydia, maybe not an amazingly tiny waist but definitely an extremely flat stomach.

    Fned, I have never heard of him, but I’m sure it was still cool to meet him! A lot of people don’t know who Brooke Hogan is either.

    Abby, like you said, it’s crazy that celebs look so much better IRL than on TV!

    O.G., thanks, you’re sweet! I was nervous to approach her, but I just thought that it doesn’t really hurt to ask. At worst I’d piss her off and she’d say no, and then I’d just be able to blog about that too :)

    Gidget, it was!

    StillLife, thanks, but really you should have seen her in person! I think she just doesn’t photograph well.

  8. I’ve been reading your blog over the past few months and have enjoyed all of the interesting insights about living in Chili.

    Today, I’ve started my own blog about traveling in Latin America. It’s called Travelojos. Here is the link: http://travelojos.com/

    Of course, I’ve included your blog on my blog roll. I was wondering if you would reciprocate.

    Cheers,

    Steve Roll

  9. So you were standing 5’8” and she still towered over you? That’s impressive. For anybody.

    Do you really think her boobs are fake? Has she said that? I guess I like to think some things are still real, but oh well… they look nice.

  10. Well, she’s in heels too, right? So there’s a couple inches you deserve!

  11. Funny – I actually met Hulk Hogan in an airport in Minneapolis many, many years ago. I was probably 8. My stepdad recognized him and went to say hi. He was nice, too.

    We will never look like that because we have to earn our money!
