Brooke Hogan — who is rapidly transitioning from a celebrity I detest to a celebrity I adore — did a photo shoot for Maxim recently. Despite all the recent drama, her dad was on-hand to watch (weird, right?) but this video of the shoot is pretty endearing. At one point Brooke actually does a back walkover on the beach, which I found quite impressive. I could do those when I was like 10, but became pretty much incapable of anything involving flexibility once I hit puberty. It’s really such a tragedy that flexibility is wasted on the young. We need it much more after we hit puberty.

This is a fun little item from Page Six:

JOHN Mayer might have broken Minka Kelly’s heart when he left her for Jennifer Aniston – but he had the decency to call her before the news about them hit the press. A Kelly pal said, “Minka [above] received a call from John prior to the story breaking about his relationship with Jennifer. He apologized to Minka, ‘Sorry, but I’m really in love.’ ” She found that interesting as, “during his relationship with her, John mentioned, ‘I don’t really get this Jennifer Aniston thing.’ ” Mayer’s rep declined to comment.

Well, I’ll tell ya, John Mayer’s getting plenty of Jennifer Aniston’s thing these days.

He’s gonna get bored of her so quick.

Um, remember when Broadway was a haven of respecting thespian professionals and not a place for reality TV stars to chill out when they don’t become the next pop phenomenon?

Yeah.

Aubrey Fucking O’Day will be appearing in Broadway’s production of Hairspray starting July 18. She’ll play Amber Von Tussle, Tracy Turnblad’s arch-nemesis.

Now, I’m not saying Aubrey O’Day’s not qualified to play an annoying little brat, but seriously? Aubrey O’Day on Broadway? Next thing you know Britney Spears will be taking on the role of Lady MacBeth with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Here’s Jessica Simpson performing her new country track, “Come On Over,” on The View.

Um, is that dress her idea of what you wear when you’re singing country? Because it’s my idea of what you wear when you’re in dress rehearsals for Little House on the Prairie.

I love PR folks, and I love it more when they want to give you guys cool free stuff.

In case you haven’t heard, the states of California and Washington are going “hands-free” on July 1. This means that you can be cited and fined if you’re holding your cell phone up to your ear while driving. In California, the fines can range up to nearly $200, and in Washington it’s around $125. Even if you don’t live in these states, cell phone use is the number-one cause of distracted-driving accidents, and California expects the new legislation to save 300 lives this year alone.

To help you prepare your vehicle for the upcoming legislation, EGO has a bunch of great hands-free car kits (check them all out here), and they’re giving away the EGO Cup to one of you awesome EB readers (all together now: “Thanks, EGO!”). It sits in your cupholder, plugs into your cigarette lighter, and connects to your cell phone via Bluetooth. You can just order it around with voice commands, so you don’t have to wear one of those silly headsets.

If you want to win the EGO cup, just shoot me an email (evilbeet@gmail.com) filling in the following sentence:

The celebrity with the biggest ego is ______________ because ___________________ .

Please make the subject line “Ego Giveaway.”

All responses must be received by noon PST on Thursday.

So basically everything on ICanHasCheezburger.com is the funniest thing ever. I ::heart:: that site. But when I came across this one I almost fell off the couch laughing. Had to share.
