Brooke in middle of War of the Hogans

Is there any end in sight to the dysfunctional Hulk Hogan family saga?

It’s one nasty turn after another, and barely a day seems to go by without one of the family members spewing venom in the media.

One might have hoped that the 2007 car accident involving son Nick, which left friend John Graziano in a permanent vegetative state and the now 18-year-old with an eight-month prison term, would have had a sobering, humbling effect on the Hogan family. Perhaps some good could have come out of such tragedy. Valuable lessons could have been learned.

Life is fragile. Fences can be mended. Families should stick together.

If anything, though, the War of the Hogans has only intensified.

And now 21-year-old daughter Brooke Hogan, whose second season of “Brooke Knows Best” premieres today on VH1, seems to be in the line of fire as her parents’ acrimonious divorce battle plays out before the public, on TV and in the tabloids.

The latest coming out of the Hogan camp is from the Hulkster in response to his estranged wife’s charges that their daughter’s behavior doesn’t match the All-American girl image Hogan has tried to create.

Linda Hogan (Bollea) claimed that Hulk (Terry Bollea) was rolling and smoking joints with Brooke’s boyfriend, rapper Staxx, at her recording sessions. Hogan vehemently denied the allegations, and said that Linda was “lost” and “needs help.”

“Brooke is a clean-cut girl. She’s very open and honest,” Hulk proclaimed in the current issue of Life & Style magazine. “Brooke can’t have a relationship with her mother like this.”

Hogan, 55, also refuted Linda’s allegations of drug use, and said it’s his 49-year-old, soon-to-be-ex-wife who is engaging in illegal drugs with her 20-year-old “boy toy” Charlie Hill. He even offered to take a legally supervised drug test if Linda would do the same.

“If Linda says she’ll take a drug test, I say bring it, brother. It needs to be done, and she’ll fail it.”

Linda answered the challenge by voluntarily taking tests that came out negative.

“Linda Hogan is clean, clean, clean,” publicist Gary Smith reported last week. He said she took a full medical exam and tested negative for everything including marijuana, cocaine, speed, amphetamines and opiates.

“Linda does not do drugs and never accused her daughter of doing drugs either,” said Smith. “Now the truth is in black and white; all Linda wants is an apology from both of them.”

Brooke told US magazine last week that she tried calling her mother, but to no avail.

“I actually dialed her phone ... but she didn’t answer. I love her no matter what. I’ll forgive her and I’ll pray for her, but I don’t think I can be around her anymore. Ever. She may as well have disowned me. She did in my heart.”

Brooke also said on Howard Stern’s Sirius satellite radio show Wednesday that she can’t say for sure that her mom has done drugs, but that something isn’t right.

“Do I have a gut feeling that she has something to come clean about? Yes,” she said. “But that’s just my gut.”

Smith issued a release claiming Brooke “continues to spew lies on behalf of her father’s lame attempt to distance himself from the reality that he is no different from the homicidal O.J. Simpson.” If Brooke continues, the rep added in an unintentionally humorous statement, “Charlie (Linda’s boyfriend) will be forced to put aside his paramedic/firefighting career path and release an album called Redemption which will easily surpass any of Brooke’s records sales.”

Smith, in the letter to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, also accused Brooke of fabricating claims or misrepresenting the facts about her breast augmentations, her relationship with Staxx and comments about Hill.

“She only judges Charlie because of his long hair and age. Linda doesn’t judge ... Brooke is Hulk’s only remaining mouthpiece and a pawn in his game of control,” said Smith.

“Brooke Hogan has spoken out in support of her father only because of her mother’s repeated fabricated attacks on him,” replied a Hogan attorney. “She is in the unique position of knowing both parties in this litigation and she has only spoken as to what she knows to be the truth based upon her personal experience with each.”

Hogan added that he believes his daughter is more of an adult than her mother.

“I hope one day Linda will grow up and be an adult like Brooke is,” he said. “Linda has to reach to her level. One day, maybe.”

Hogan’s attorney says a mother-daughter relationship appears unlikely at this time because Linda “continues to attempt to throw her family under the bus to gain publicity.”

Linda filed for divorce just a month after the last episode of their popular reality show aired. Hogan later said he was surprised that his wife wanted to end their 24-year marriage, even though the two had visited a marriage counselor on their VHI show.

Hogan told People magazine last year that the couple had experienced marital difficulties for nearly a decade, and that “the reality show just amplified the problems.”

- Ric Flair may be 60 years old. He may be officially retired. Yet he still found himself in a familiar position last week — the main event of Monday Night Raw. And he more than held his own in a street fight with Randy Orton.

Flair got the better of Orton during a show-finishing brawl that started in the parking lot, moved to the backstage area and ended up inside a cage in the ring. Orton got last-minute help from cronies Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes, however, and ended up knocking out the Nature Boy with his trademark stiff kick to the cranium.

Flair, who suffered a head laceration, also badly cut his hand during the backstage segment and had to get 12 stitches.

Flair, bloodied and bruised, was pleased with the performance.

“It was great,” he said the next day. “But I’m sore as hell.”

- Maverick (Dakota) Darsow was among several developmental performers released by WWE last week.

Darsow is the son of former pro star Barry Darsow (Krusher Khruschev, Demolition Smash, Repo Man).
