Bret Michaels And Rikki Rockett Think Joe Elliott Is A Lip-Syncing Jerk

Last month, Joe Elliott told an Irish newspaper that he thought his former Headbanger's Ball cohorts Poison, Winger, and Warrant were "shite bands," and that he was too busy chasing after the latest tunes by the Stereophonics to even think about touring with them. Well, Poison members Rikki Rockett and Bret Michaels were not happy to hear that news, especially since they've been doubting the veracity of his band's live performances as of late. And Rockett wasn't afraid to say something about that on his blog! More »

Bret Michaels Brings The Realness To Miley Cyrus Fans

It's the age-old pop star dilemma: the more famous you get, the younger your fans get—to the point where eventually, you may find yourself legally unable to put your penis in them. How does an unwitting rock and roll Barney deal with this awkward situation? If you're Bret Michaels, you tell yourself that girls young enough to be your illegitimate daughter have been brought to your concerts by your "realness," rather than the fact that you remind them of their negligent father if he wore guyliner. You stick to your guns, play the music you want to play, incorporate more western iconography into your poodle rock and almost two decades later, people watching your Vh1 reality dating show will see what a totally credible bad-ass you are. And so will the New York Times' Sunday Styles section. More »

Bret Michaels' Version Of "Cum On Feel Tha Noize" Is Out Of Time (But It Makes Some Money Anyway)


Last night, Bret Michaels continued his run of TV exposure with an appearance on Don't Forget The Lyrics, a show that, I admit, I would probably completely suck on because I am the queen of making syllables up to fit the words of certain songs. He gave up after being tripped up by the pre-chorus to Slade's "Cum On Feel Tha Noize," a song which he claims he can get right when he's in his car. But can he get the melody right? Because there was a run of pretty rough notes there at the beginning. Cleanse your ears with Kevin DuBrow's interpretation of the track, which is after the jump. More »

DUI Daddy Richie Sambora To Do Rock Of Love?

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. More »

Bret Michaels is releasing his autobiography this fall, and as MetalSucks notes, it will be sure to not be as interesting as either The Dirt or anything Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille would commit to paper. But maybe the bandana'd lead singer will be thoughtful enough to provide a glossary of terms that lets the world know the definition of an "unskinny bop" and what the true spelling of "diabeetus" is?

"Don't Forget The Lyrics" Brings In Ringers

I noted during last night's Idol eliminations that the harmonizers of Boyz II Men would be on Don't Forget The Lyrics, the song-remembering game show that sends its viewers rushing to Google during its commercial breaks. While searching for clips from the show, I came across the news that other "celebrities" would be on the show in future weeks, including Poison's Bret Michaels, REO Speedwagon's Kevin Cronin, and former Idol contestant Kimberley Locke. It's like going to a state fair from the comfort of your own couch, and with a much messier process for procuring a fried Oreo! [TVCrunch]

VH1's "Rock Of Love 2" Lothario: Guess Freakin' Who It Is

12 comments

Bret Michaels will be taking a break from affronting reality TV viewers and old Poison fans to affront Guitar Hero players in the game's third installment, where he'll be wanking out a version of "Talk Dirty To Me." Wait, Michaels and not C.C.? My god this unconscionable ass is an attention whore. [Blabbermouth}

Alert! Last night's Rock Of Love contained actual musical content; Bret took three of the lucky ladies, including the one with "clown tits," to a session at the Jim Henson studios with Don Was. One of the women sang, another semi-orgasmically moaned, and circus-boobs rubbed her butt against Bret's groin. Also, at show's end, Bret dressed up like an extra from a Chick-Fil-A ad. [VH1 Blog]

"Rock Of Love" Pits Groupies Aganist Rockers

Rock of Love, VH1's latest attempt to create an emotional equivalent to the Faces of Death series, consists of once and future Poison lead singer Bret Michaels and the women competing for his affections. It's the rock remix of and follow-up to Flavor of Love, on which Public Enemy's Flavor Flav tried to find someone to marry, sorta. But the genre switch has also changed something about the ladies participating (well, in addition to the racial inversion): this time, there are groupies, and there are rockers. More »

"Rock Of Love": Do You Care?

An e-mail from a reader today, subject line "bret michaels horrible/wonderful reality show": "Have you seen it? As per VH1 policy, they're rerunning it six times a day. It's just ghastly, but you truly cannot turn away. From Michaels' pathetic, forced enthusiasm to his bizarre wigs to the varying levels of desperation in each contestant, well, this thing is quite special." I haven't seen all of the first episode, in fact—I caught the first two segments when it streamed online last week, and we did break the news that Bret was the "'90s rock star" the ladies would be competing for—but it's waiting on the TiVo, almost begging me to write about it. Should I heed its call? I'm still a little indie-logged from the Pitchfork festival, so clearly this calls for an Idolator focus group. Check out the pros and cons, as well as a handy poll, after the jump. More »

The first episode of Rock Of Love, VH1's "ladies love Bret Michaels" tramp-a-thon, is now streaming online. Five-minutes-in impression: It's going to be real hard not to root for the one whose favorite song is "Every Thorn Has Its Rose." [VH1]

Meet The Classy Ladies Who Will Be Competing For Bret Michaels' Affection This Summer

From the VH1 Blog, here's the first look at the roster for Rock Of Love, this summer's attempt to "metal up" the Flavor Of Love formula by having the contestants vie for Poison lead singer Bret Michaels' romantic attentions. (In case you're having trouble picking him out of the lineup, Michaels is the one wearing pants.) More »

Is VH1's Rock Lothario Lying About His Age?

Yesterday, we posted the casting call for VH1's latest bimbos-on-parade show, which advertised the chance to get down and dirty with "one of the '90s HOTTEST ROCKERS." But we've received multiple tips that the frontman in question is actually Bret Michaels of Poison—a band that is not only forever entwined with the '80s, but whose '90s studio output is equivalent to that of Guns N' Roses. Congratulations, VH1—if this is true, you're even more shameless than we thought you were. We can't wait until it's revealed that the show is actually called I Want Action. More »
