Brooke Hogan has one thing to say to people who criticize her for her decision to unveil an arty nude photo in front of her father recently: leave me alone!

Hulk Hogan Considered Suicide When Wife Sought Divorce
Originally posted 10/27/2009 08:55AM
Hulk Hogan admits he was nearly driven to suicide following his wife Linda's divorce filing in the fall of 2007 – a surprising admission the wrestling legend makes in a book dedicated to none other than his ex-wife.
"To Linda, I pray that you find peace and joy in life. I love you," Hogan writes on the dedication page of My Life Outside the Ring, a tell-all autobiography, co-authored by PEOPLE senior writer Mark Dagostino, that hits bookshelves Tuesday.
The affectionate dedication may come as a shock to fans who followed the couple's bitter divorce, which ended when they reached a settlement last July. Hogan describes that tumultuous period of his life, beginning with his son Nick's August 2007 car accident. Four months later, shortly after his wife Linda filed for divorce, Hogan found himself chasing Xanax pills with swigs of rum one weekend – while holding a gun in his hand.

Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica
Aired: August 2003 to March 2005
Split: November 2005
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey became household names by adjusting to married life after their 2002 wedding. In the 41-episode series, Simpson played the "dumb blonde" while Lachey was the longsuffering husband.
Simpson and Lachey announced their separation just eight months after the last episode aired on MTV. In the divorce filing, Simpson cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split. Lachey later told USA Today that the reality show was a factor in the decision. "Jessica and I began playing these parts even when we were by ourselves," he said of their roles. "It became a really blurred line. There was a question about what truly was our reality."
Since the split, Lachey has been dating Vanessa Minnillo. Simpson briefly dated John Mayer and is now seeing Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

Hulk Hogan: Jail Making Son a Better Man
Originally posted 07/31/2008 07:20PM
Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea, who is serving an eight-month sentence in Florida for reckless driving, has been moved to a minimum-security facility where "it's much better," Hogan tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"They moved him to the place that he should have been in the beginning," says Hogan, 54, whose son was transferred out of maximum-security after turning 18 last Sunday.
While he was under-age, Bollea was segregated from the rest of the prison population – at one point spending 28 days in solitary confinement because no other cell was available.
"It's much better," he says. "Nick describes it as like a two-story warehouse with tables, seven or eight phones, TVs, and it's people who are there for like child support and parking tickets. And instead of just once in a while being allowed go outside, they leave the door open to the exercise yard. He said, 'Dad, I can even go outside at night and look at the stars.'"

Brooke Hogan issued an apology for making what she now calls false allegations that her father Hulk abused her mother.
"I did it under significant pressure from my mother," Hogan, 20, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. "It was only after I learned all the facts that I realized I made a big mistake in signing it."
Hogan released the statement after a tabloid reported that she had signed a legal affidavit accusing her father, whose real name is Terry Bollea, of verbally and physically abusing wife Linda during their marriage.
Linda, 48, filed for divorce last November, and her attorney told PEOPLE it was going to be "war."
Her attorney was not available for comment. A rep for Hulk Hogan declined to comment.
