Brooke Hogan celebrated the premiere of her new reality show Brooke Knows Best at Mansion on Saturday night with show co-stars Glenn Packard and Ashley Menendez. The party featured a performance by Hogan along with roommate Packard's burlesque troop, The Knockouts. Also there, Hogan's dad Hulk, along with girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel, who, according to sources, ''is a spitting image of Brooke and was constantly being confused with Hulk's daughter as she made out with him all night.'' Ew. Hulk was by all accounts described as looking distracted and distant despite his daughter's momentous occasion, only perking up for blatant PDA with his girlfriend. The family (minus mom and bro) partied at Mansion until 3:30 a.m. before calling it a night. Earlier that day, father and daughter were seen poolside at The Shore Club, relaxing -- until Hulk's phone rang. ''Hulk left the bevy of hot blondes, including his girlfriend, and was seen very agitated, pacing back and forth, turning red while talking.'' Hulk returned to the pool 45 minutes later, ``looking worn out and angry, and ignored everyone there except his girlfriend.''
