You've seen her get schooled by The Hulkster. But you've never seen his little girl like this...

W hen FHM arrived at the Hogan family’s new Miami fortress for this cover shoot, it was clear that we’d lucked out. Not only did Brooke look stunning while showing off her bronzed skin and platinum locks, but we also escaped with our lives and these photos. Her famously over-protective father—the one with the 24-inch pythons who won the Cold War—was out of town for a wrestling event. Sweet.

“This house is too new for my dad to have bugged the place yet,” Brooke says reassuringly. “He’s still very protective of me because I’m kind of green.”

Now, after two seasons of VH1’s Hogan Knows Best, Hulk’s beauty is blazing her own trail in the world of music. Undiscovered, her debut album of urban pop and dance, features collaborations with Nelly Furtado, Beenie Man and Paul Wall. All of which means the rest of us can sample what the Hogans have been enjoying for years.

“I’ve performed in the garden section of Wal-Mart while my dad sat on fertilizer bags,” Brooke says, “and I’ve been singing and dancing for my parents’ video camera since I was 2 years old. I’ve always been a showoff.”

And now, the main event.

What do those home videos of you performing look like?
There’s one of me at 13 in my Catholic-school uniform breaking it down to Britney’s “. . . Baby One More Time.” I’ve wanted to be sexy ever since I was little. When my friends were dressing as French maids for Halloween in the eighth grade, I ordered a hot cop outfit from Frederick’s of Hollywood. I wanted to be sexier than them. When I put it on, my parents said, “Brooke, go back inside.”

How did boys relate to you growing up?
In sixth grade, they ignored me because I had womanly curves like their moms. By eighth grade, they were realizing, “Wait, she has curves.” I’d walk around the mall with my mom and she’d say, “People used to look at me; now they’re looking straight through me at you.” Trust me—I had fun with it.

So you’re a tease?
I tease boys to the point where I have to tell them, “Wait, I didn’t mean that—back off!” I show it off, but I’ve never been promiscuous or a little slut. I’m still a virgin. I’ll tell you guys that, but I’m not going to bring it up after this because I may change my mind one day.

Why would a guy be lucky to be with you?
There are girls who’ll give it up and gold-dig, but I’m the one guys want to marry. So far, I’ve had about 20 proposals, and they’ve all been from pretty nice guys. I take care of my guys. I’m affectionate and I give great back rubs.

What do guys get wrong about you?
Guys want to believe that I’m this daddy’s girl dying to get out and be mischievous—and they all want to be the one to show me the ropes.

What’s the most embarrassing thing your father has done in front of a boyfriend?
He asked one guy, “Have you had an AIDS test?” I never saw that guy again.

How have you used your sexiness for evil?
I was at Burger King the other day and the guy said, “Damn, you are so fine,” and he gave me extra fries. Don’t tell my dad, though, because he doesn’t want me eating fast food. I’ll walk around the house in a bathing suit and he’ll say, “Wow, you really look good,” or, “You’re getting a little chunky there, Brooke.”

Which of your father’s co-workers do you have a crush on?
Randy Orton’s really hot. Whenever I see a guy in tight spandex, I’m like, “Damn!”

Could you ever fall in love with a mustache-wearing man?
I like a bit of scruff, but I couldn’t go for a full-blown Fu Manchu—that’s my dad, not my boyfriend.

When you found out that wrestling was scripted, was it like learning that Santa didn’t exist?
I was relieved because I knew that the other guy wasn’t trying to kill my dad. My mom had to explain that to me when I was 6 because I used to freak out. I hated my mom for making me watch him get beat up. I didn’t find out the truth about Santa until I was 13.

Does your dad bore you with old wrestling stories?
I’ve heard some stories a couple too many times, but there are some stories that I never get sick of. Like how Andre the Giant was too big to use the bathrooms in Japan, so he’d lay newspapers out on the bed and squat. Then he’d call my dad and say, “Hey, boss, come look at this!”

When you were younger, which wrestlers came over to baby-sit?
Randy “Macho Man” Savage would take care of me when he and my dad were friends. He had that mess coming out of his bandana and I’d sit there with my pink Barbie-doll brush, brushing his hair up. Uncle Randy pretty much let me do anything. Jimmy Hart is like an uncle to me. There was Uncle Knobbs of the Nasty Boys too. Uncle Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake was always just Uncle Beefcake.

Do guys try to impress you by ripping off their shirts?
Boys know to stay away from the wrestling subject. If you really want to get to me, be funny and be a gentleman. That’s all I ask. Your job and your money don’t matter to me. Seriously, I could fall for a guy who worked at McDonald’s.

Brooke’s album Undiscovered is out now.
