No Prom for Brooke Hogan

The editors of Prom Magazine may not remember, but Brooke Hogan's dad is wrestling champ Hulk Hogan. They may want to stay clear of him now that they've dissed his 18-year-old singer daughter. Prom Magazine editors decided to pull Brooke from their upcoming cover after they saw her on the new issue of FHM. No surprise, but she's barely wearing anything for the beer-and-boobs men's magazine. "We simply don't want our magazine with Brooke in a prom dress next to an issue of her wearing the itsy bitzy [sic] tinie [sic] bikini," a rep for the Duluth, Minnesota-based magazine said in a statement.
The Hogan story will run in the magazine, but the cover will now feature Ashley Tisdale of The Suite Life. Hogan's rep dismissed the decision as a publicity stunt. "Clearly, Prom is attempting to publicize their magazine by stirring up controversy over photos of Brooke that they took more than a year ago," Hogan's rep, Elizabeth Rosenthal, told me in a prepared statement. "Looks like they are trying to up their circulation. Go Brooke!"
In a bizarre footnote, Prom's press release actually comes down on the cover change: "The designer of the dress Brooke was wearing, DeBora Rachelle, was upset by the decision [to pull the cover]. DeBora was, in fact, honored to have Brooke appear in one of her dresses on the cover." And I'm sure there are plenty of high school boys who would be honored to have Hogan as their prom date. Her skimpy FHM attire guarantees that.
