Brooke Hogan updated her MySpace blog after removing her previous entry where she basically ripped on her dad and her friend for screwing around behind her back, now saying that while it still hurts very deeply inside, she's "starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel." In a short entry, Brooke added that she has, and we quote, a "wonderful, angel of a brother" and "two amazing parents", with an emphasis on amazing. Her former friend Christianne Plante recently said that someone leaked her affair to the National Enquirer after she sent the letter to Brooke to tell her all about it and it wasn't her who went public with the story. Brooke's currently filming the new season of 'Hogan Knows Best' although this time around it's titled 'Brooke Hogan Knows Best' and VH1 cameras are following her moving back to Miami with her friends.
