Biography
Hollywood and audiences alike are wild about Brooke Burke, the beautiful,
dynamic and adventurous host of E! Entertainment Television's popular
travel series, "Wild On."
Burke is currently shooting the third season of "Wild On," which takes
viewers to some of the hottest, most exotic places around the world, showcasing
popular travel destinations, wild parties, the best beaches and most unique
and secluded locales. "The sun is always shining somewhere in the world,
and that's where we go," says Burke, who has already been to Sardinia,
Morocco, the Mayan Riviera, Belize and Aruba. "Some of my favorite activities
have been rocket flying in New Zealand, wrestling a 14-foot crocodile
in Australia, skydiving, open water shark diving, exploring the underground
city in Naples, scaling a castle wall in Croatia and interviewing U2."
Rated the second highest show on the network, "Wild On" continues to
expose Burke to a variety of cultures, people, food and personal challenges.
Her first assignment for the show was in Spain to participate in La Tomatina
-- the tomato war. "It's the world's largest food fight you can imagine
with forty thousand drunken Spaniards and one hundred and twenty tons
of tomatoes." After surviving that, there have only been two things that
the thrill-seeker has refused to do: bungy jumping and going on a lobster
dive. "I have a huge bug phobia, and they are the cockroaches of the sea."
Beyond "Wild On," Brooke has a new series in development at E! called
"Rank," which covers everything that is hip, hot and cool in movies, television
and pop culture. The pilot episode, which ranks the 25 sexiest men, will
air as an E! original special in September 2001.
As evidence of Burke's emerging popularity and fan base, she gets the
largest number of hits on E! Online, and she was recently selected as
one of three women in the world to be photographed for a 2002 At A Glance
Calendar. In addition, Brooke will release her own private edition calendar
for 2002 available at www.BBsBoutique.com, which was shot on locations
around the world and includes never-before-seen images from her favorite
photo shoots this past year. A behind-the-scenes documentary on the making
of the calendar will air only on E! this coming holiday season.
Brooke has most recently been tapped to serve as the newest Ambassador
for Budweiser, for which she serves as spokesperson and host of their
"Wild On Bud" promotional campaign currently running through October.
Raised in Tucson, Arizona, Burke never envisioned herself in the entertainment
industry. "When I was young, I wanted to do something more low-key, like
become a drummer in a rock band," says Burke, whose French, Irish and
Portuguese descent make up her stunningly exotic look. While accompanying
a high school friend to a modeling agency in Scottsdale, Arizona, Brooke
was discovered by a talent scout who happened to be there.
After pursuing modeling near her hometown and going on to win an acting
scholarship, Burke moved to Los Angeles where she studied broadcast journalism
at UCLA. In between classes during her first year at school, Burke signed
with the industry's highest profile agencies including Ford and Wilhelmina.
In addition to gracing dozens of magazine covers, billboards, swimsuit
editorials, catalogs and posters, Burke has also starred in a string of
popular commercials. She is the "beautiful body" in the Bally's Total
Fitness commercials as well as Yankee's shortstop, Derek Jeter's dream
date for Discover Card.
During her fifteen days a month at home in Los Angeles, Brooke enjoys
spending family time, doing pilates, taking long walks, horseback riding,
reading psychology books, cooking holiday meals and going to see movies
and plays. She also regularly volunteers her time to work with such charitable
organizations as Athletes & Entertainers for Kids and the Entertainment
Industry Foundation.
