Will Brooke bomb?
Let's meet the Hogan Family!

Son: "Nasty" Nick
Friend, babysitter and comedy relief: Brian Knobs
Brooke is having problems dealing with the demands of her career, and producer Scott Storch starts to question her ability to succeed in the music business.
We begin the week with Brooke messing around in the studio. They are ready to record and she pisses around. They do some cuts and make her change some stuff. Frustration sets in early. They question if she has been doing her vocal exercises and warming up correctly. They say she also needs rest and a strict program, with some days of no talking.
The next day Hulk and Linda talk. Hulk says Scott called and they were not happy with her performance. Hulk talks like he knows what he is saying and they know she isn't doing what she needs to be doing. They need to have her fix this.
Hulk goes to talk to Brooke. He tells her what Storch said. Hulk says they can't have people not happy and says she needs rest and practice. He says this is the first time anyone has been disappointed. Brooke says it was one night and people are on her ass. She doesn't want to let anyone down.
The next day her friends invite her to the beach and she says she has to work. She works out next, jogging and such. She practices and she ignores the family.
More working out with Brooke. She tells Nick he smells like ass. Nick then makes fun of her.
Later that day she works on scales and cries. She's struggling. She stops and Hulk is here to question her again. She is tired and Hulk is on her ass and tells wrestling stories, he had it tough. She cries again. She is so tired, poor baby. She questions herself and Hulk says she is a Hogan and can do it.
Back from commercial and Nick and Brooke talk. Well she doesn't because she is resting her voice. Nick harasses her, he is still a dick.
At the studio she sings, they seem more pleased today. Storch says the hard work is paying off. She was bummed, but now is happy. They think she will be a hit.
Back at home she relates that she did so much better. Hulk and Linda are pleased. Hulk is proud again because they were so down on her. Linda says she looks hot, but Hulk says the skirt she is wearing is too short. She has some fake boobs and puts them on Hulk.
Cecil is here now and talks to Hulk. He needs Linda on his side for this upcoming photo shoot. Cecil says they have something big to discuss. Brooke has been daddy's little girl, but then need to make here more sexy and mature. Brooke wants him to leave up a bit. Hulk says he doesn't want it to go too far. He says he can change. He likes sexy, no weird stuff. No lingerie or funky models all over Brooke. Cecil says not too sexy, but elegant. Hulk says it does feel a bit wrong.
Back from commercial and Hulk talks to Brooke. He wakes her up for the photo shoot, and he then says her "MYSPACE" had like 1-million hits in 9-days. He is happy.
They discuss the photo shoot. They want it done right and professional. They have a good team in place and a model arrives and then two more. They take their shirts off and Linda is happy, while Hulk is silent.
She has a huge trailer and we go to the shoot. Hulk doesn't look pleased. He thinks it is all ridiculous. More photo stuff and Hulk doesn't think it will work. It is a different Brooke, and he doesn't like it.
Four weeks later, and the photos are in. They all go to check them out and meet with Cecil. Hulk sports his N W O shirt. They have a giant poster and Cecil likes it. Brooke, Nick and Linda like it. Hulk questions it a bit, wondering if it is too edgy. Hulk digs the photos for the CD. Linda cries. They have 250,000 advance orders, half way to gold. They are all excited.
The 411: It was a show. Not nearly enough wacky moments, and I have a hard time feeling bad for rich people.
