Brooke Hogan in town this weekend

Well, let me tell you somethin', brotha...

Yes, the daughter of former World Wrestling Federation champ Hulk Hogan — that's when it was still the WWF — Brooke Hogan will be one of the acts appearing at this Sunday's K-Fest concert at Dutchess Stadium.

Sure, in that last post, I mentioned how I have all those other things to blog about (Taylor Hicks tix, "Talk Radio," Mo'nique, etc.), but I only have like 5 minutes to write something now, and figured this was a quick one I could bang out.

Between those other shows I'm going to this summer — not to mention The Police in August and possibly Kenny Loggins — K-Fest might be the only local show not to spark my interest. Well, maybe that and Mountain Jam.

A few friends and I went to the very first K-Fest, when Color Me Badd (yes, the Color Me Badd) was the headlining act. Enough said.

The only reason I mention Brooke is because I was such a Hulkamaniac back in the day — training, saying my prayers and taking my vitamins in elementary school. I remember, years back, hearing about Brooke starting a singing career in the mold of Britney Spears. Having watched the VH1 reality show "Hogan Knows Best,"* over the past few seasons, I've seen her continue to pursue it, hence culminating in this weekend's K-Fest appearance.

On a side note, Todd Bivona will be taking video from backstage at K-Fest for the Journal, so be sure to check the Web site next week for all the behind-the-scenes action!


*I freely admit, "Hogan Knows Best" is the fakest reality show out there. Again, it's the young lil' Hulkamaniac in me shining through. Just love seeing the Hulkster at home!
