Richie Sambora should be visiting Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab, but it looks like he’ll be hitting up a dozen floozies for the love and support that Heather Locklear and Denise Richards couldn’t provide instead. Yes, that’s right: The Bon Jovi guitarist will allegedly replace Bret Michaels for season three of Rock Of Love. The bandanna-wearing Poison frontman claims that he’s really found love with season two winner Ambre Lake, which means that his schedule is clear for him to turn his attentions to Look What The Cat Dragged In, a sitcom on MyNetwork TV about a party-hearty rocker who moves in with his uptight lawyer brother in Beverly Hills, played by Alan Ruck. Well, at least I’m hoping that happens.

Bon Jovi guitarist Sambora 48, has been single since his April 2007 divorce from actress Heather Locklear and a short-lived romance with Locklear’s former pal Denise Richards ended last year.

And TV bosses want to help him find love. A source tells OK! magazine, “He’s perfect for TV. If you thought Bret (Michaels) was must see TV, you ain’t seen anything yet. Richie is going to be a train wreck looking for love.”

Sounds pretty tentative, but now that Sambora successfully plea-bargained that whole “driving drunk with his daughter in the back seat” nuisance away, he’s free to let VH1’s comely lunatics work his talkbox.
