She hosted the short-lived American version of the Dog Eat Dog game show for two summer seasons in 2002 and 2003, in which she became famous for her pre-opening introductions in which she would wear a bikini. She also made a cameo in Shallow Hal.
Personal life
Burns was born in Dallas, Texas, the daughter of Betsy (née Davis), a homemaker, and Brad Thomas Burns, who worked in health care. She was once married to Julian McMahon, with whom she has a daughter, Madison, in 2000, and was engaged to Bruce Willis from 2003 until June 2, 2004. In late 2005 through 2006 Brooke was regularly seen in public with playwright and self proclaimed "Corn Battered Chicken King of the North East", Eric Ganter.
