Brooke Burke |
As host of E! Television’s Wild On, Brooke got to travel the world and feed her inner-adrenaline junkie, while we got to feel jealous and gawk at her. The show was seen in over 120 countries and got Brook onto the cover of just about every men’s magazine there is, as well as parts in TV shows like Monk, The Contender and Gilmore Girls. Not that any of us have ever watched Gilmore Girls.
It was a year of extreme highs and deep lows for Brooke. She and her plastic surgeon husband divorced after four years of marriage (that was the low part). But while things were falling apart at home, Brooke had her biggest professional success to date with the runaway reality hit Rock Star: INXS. She also appeared in a David Lachapelle-directed Burger King commercial and cleaned up at the Video Game awards for her work in Need for Speed 2: Underground, proving she’s hot even as a computer graphic.
Reality TV guru Mark Burnett has hinted that he would like to do another Rock Star series in 2006. With her sparkling performance in the INXS-version, look for Brooke to return. This time, rumors are swirling that either Alice in Chains or Van Halen will be selling out… uh, searching for a new lead singer. I hear Sammy Hagar is available.
