'Summer Camp' Exclusive Clip: Brooke Steals the Show With Bouncing Bosom


"Summer Camp," USA Network's "Meatballs" meets "Big Brother" reality show, has already showcased sleep-away staples such as canoeing, the sweetheart dance, spin the bottle, aquatics, a pajama party, and a scavenger hunt. It was only a matter of time before producers asked the camp-etitors to take on the talent show as part of their battle of the sexes in the great outdoors for a quarter of a million dollars.

Several folks chose old standbys for their time to shine, like reciting poetry (Cameron the cowboy), rapping (Chris the class clown), and dancing (Moises the muscleman). Moises got the ladies out of their seats and screaming but failed to impress Broadway babe Kyle. He scoffed, "Moises's dances are pretty average. He appeals to women who don't really care about the dancing skill level."
But as you can see in this exclusive clip from Monday's episode, some contestants more loosely and broadly defined talent. For instance, Melinda the geek combined her love of cosplay and her skills as a professional stuntwoman to perform a choreographed fight. Michelle the bayou bodybuilder threw another camper over her shoulder and proceeded to do three squats, which blew the mind of Brooke. "Michelle is crazy strong. I can't even imagine doing squats in high heels and tight jeans."
But it is Brooke whose performance is truly inventive and will leave you humming Kelis's "Milkshake" involuntarily. As the curtain opens, the formerly Mormon model announces, "I don't really have a talent [so] she's gonna lay down a beat and we're gonna follow," before proceeding to open her jumpsuit a little wider and jiggle her jugs while Michelle bangs the bongos. First, we love that she collectively refers to herself and her cleavage as "we," and the fact that a Hooters bartender is handling accompaniment just adds another meta layer to the brilliance of this bound-to-go-viral video.
The men instantly fall in love with her leaping lady lumps. Chris gives her a standing ovation and calls out for an encore. Cameron comments, "Oh my God, that is not only entertainment but just beautiful." (Note to cowboy Cam: Considering how perky those things are, God probably can't take much credit for them.)
The official episode description mentions Melinda's lies, a show romance, a secret pact, potential backstabbing, and an off-roading color war, but we're guessing the true legacy of "Summer Camp" episode 106 will be Brooke's rhythm 'n' boobs routine.
"Summer Camp" airs Mondays after WWE "Raw" on USA.

Glitter Magazine - Brooke Mangum helps stand up to bullying!

Brooke Mangum helps stand up to bullying!

Actress, Brooke Mangum, is a supporter of the  CustomInk’s Be Good to Each Other campaign. PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center helps make a difference for kids, their parents and even schools by uniting and educating communities to help prevent bullying. As someone who has been bullied before, Brooke has some sage advice.
Celebrities like Brooke are helping donate to the cause and created t-shirts like the one she designed below.
We sat down with Brooke for a quick chat on the bullying prevention campaign and what’s she’s up to next.
GLITTER: What are you working on right now?
BROOKE: Currently I have teamed up with PACERS, National Bullying Prevention Center, and CustomInk for the Be Good to Each Other Campaign, spreading awareness of the bullying epidemic and the impact that it has on the youth of today. Bullying stops when we decide not to be victims or tolerate it anymore. By banning together we can stop bullying in its tracks.
GLITTER: Why did you get involved in CustomInk’s Be Good to Each Other campaign?
BROOKE: I have always wanted to be involved in an anti-bullying campaign. It is an issue that is near and dear to my heart, and when the opportunity arose to join the Be Good to Each Other Campaign I could not refuse.
GLITTER: Have you ever been bullied before?
BROOKE: I was not what you would call a beautiful child, in fact far from it. I was chunky, awkward and had a mullet. I was teased, never picked first, and I didn’t sit by the popular pretty girls. Needless to say I didn’t have the greatest self-esteem growing up. As I matured my body changed and grew into myself only to discover that girls are even meaner when they see you as a threat. I hated going to school.
GLITTER: How did you rise above the occasion and not become a victim?
BROOKE: One day it hit me. The girls that said these awful ugly things about me were even uglier inside than I felt. They may have the “power” and pull at school, but they were powerless over me. Only I had the power to choose how I felt about myself. It didn’t happen overnight and their mean words still hurt, but for the first time I felt strong enough to just be myself and, being me was more than enough.
GLITTER: What can people do if they see someone else being bullied?
BROOKE: Say something! Anything! Be a hero! Bullies are searching for attention. They are just as scared as the people they are hurting. There is strength in numbers and if we band together we can stop bullying.
GLITTER: What can we see you in next and what charities are you working with currently and how can others get involved?
BROOKE: You can see me popping up for time to time in your magazines, radios and televisions. Or you can tune into my webisodes, “Girly Ballz.” Currently, I have been working with Best Friends Animal Society and continuing on Anti-Bullying Projects.
Others can get involved by joining the Be Good to Each Other campaign and purchasing my bullying prevention tee at www.customink.com/stopbullying. There is so much charity work available and it is so rewarding. So find something you are passionate about and get to work! Because I can guarantee they need your help.

About our designer: Brooke Mangum


RgcHkmapng
While growing up in Salt Lake City, Utah Brooke Mangum looked and acted much different than the confident model and television personality you see today. She was chunky, awkward and had a mullet. She says, she was never picked first, and didn’t sit by the popular pretty girls. Needless to say she didn’t have the greatest self-esteem growing up, those types of feelings; not feeling good enough, being an outsider, ugly, different … etc. Never go away no matter how old you are. 
Then one summer everything about her appearance changed. She grew a few inches, her body thinned out and the mullet was a thing of the past. With this new sense of self and confidence she went to High School, only to learn that girls are even meaner when they see you as threat. Not a day went by that she wouldn’t hear whispers about her in the hall. Hurtful rumors were everywhere, she hated going to school.
Bullying stops when we decide not to tolerate it any more. If you see someone being bullied say something! Be the hero, you can make a difference.
To all the Bullies out there, you need to quit it and get it together. Your words and actions hurt, and you can never take them back.
To all of you that have been or are being bullied now, you are so much stronger than you think. Hang in there, be brave, and remember these hard times are only temporary. There is nothing better to be than YOU, and don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise.
Brooke is now a successful model, broadcaster and TV personality. She has traveled all over the world modeling for several notable brands and has walked the runway in Paris Fashion Week. She has been featured on the Today Show, WWE Monday Night RAW, and EXTRA TV. Brooke is currently appearing on USA’s reality competition series SUMMER CAMP representing anyone who has every felt like an ugly ducklings.
About the Be Good to Each Other campaign
At CustomInk, we believe in the Golden Rule and treating others with kindness and respect.  Statistics show that between 20-30% of school-aged kids in the United States have been bullied.  That is why we’ve created the Be Good To Each Other campaign to help increase awareness and ultimately prevent bullying by uniting groups with custom t-shirts. 
This is the third year of the CustomInk Be Good To Each Other campaign.  With the help of our celebrity partners, the media and you, CustomInk has raised more than $20,000 for bullying prevention efforts.  And the power of t-shirts goes beyond just the funds raised – thousands of people continue to wear the shirts they’ve purchased and spread the word that bullying is not okay!
