Brett Michaels’ Tour Starts Today Despite Injuries

Rock of Love Star Goes On Tour Despite Broken Nose, Busted Lip

Poison frontman, and VH1 reality show star Brett Michaels has announced that his tour will start on time, despite injuries to his face that he suffered when a piece of the stage came crashing down on him at the Tony Awards. He has posted this press release on his blog:

“Even in light of his recent injuries suffered at the Tony Awards on June 7th Bret has every intention of giving 100% on stage and throwing his legendary after parties for the fans just like he has for the last 20 years,”  comments Michaels’s rep Janna Elias. The Tony Award incident has been viewed over 5 million times on YouTube and over 2000 unique news outlets picked up and continue to report on the story.

Michaels recently has had to postpone several dates of his ROCK OF LOVE solo tour due to the extent of the neck injury, however has every intention of going through with the Def Leppard /Poison / Cheap Trick tour which kicks off Tuesday June 23rd at Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia. Live Nation was excited that tickets for the tour opened up very strong even in this tough economy. Between the three acts they have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, have had 62 top 40 singles and have sold out arenas around the globe for the last twenty years. Def Leppard, Poison and Cheap Trick fans know they will not only get an incredibly energetic stage show but also a night of nothing but hit songs.

The latest in a long list of career highlights for Michaels is being named as one of People Magazine’s Hottest Bachelors of 2009. Other recent highlights include, three seasons of his VH1 hit reality show “Rock of Love With Bret Michaels,” being featured in Blender Magazine’s “Superstar Section” as well as making their “Hot Report,” Michaels also did motion capture for “Guitar Hero III” in which his solo music was highlighted, and he was also honored at the BMI Film and Television Awards for composing the song “Go That Far” from his solo album “Rock My World” which was included in one of cable television’s top rated shows for the year. He also lent his voice to the song “Wheels Of Thunder” which was featured in the first season of Nickelodeon’s “Penguins Of Madagascar” TV series. These items combined with the fact that he has sold over 30 million albums with his band Poison, Bret continues to bring a new generation of fans not only to his BMB solo shows but to the Poison concerts as well.

“I am really excited about this summer because I have been trying to put a Poison / Def Leppard tour together for over 9 years.  Not only do I get to rock the stage with Poison but I get to hang on the side of the stage and party while listening to two of my favorite bands. And you never know with Poison, anything could happen from pyro to prize fights the music prevails and The fans always get their money’s worth,”  states Michaels.

Simon and Schuster releases Bret Michaels highly anticipated autobiography ROSES AND THORNS late this summer. To pre-order the book go to BretMichaels.com.

Premier: Tough Love Boot Camp

Ah, VH1, you’ve done so much to help educate America as to the ways of love. How else would ex-strippers and teenage baby mamas learn to love aging rock stars if not for Rock of Love? How would aging rappers with dubious personal hygiene find love if not for Flavor of Love? And how, of how, would tool-worthy losers learn how to pick up drunk girls with low self-esteem if not for The Pick-Up Artist?

Yes, truly, VH1 has done much for the nation’s population of emotionally bankrupt, lost, deviant barelytwentisomethings. And now, maybe realizing there are only so many ways to humiliate girls in “competitions” before the audience cries sexism, VH1 has decided to give ladies the chance for self improvement by educating them as to what men want. Exit Mystery the Pickup Artist, enter Steve the Tough Love Doctor.

Steve Ward claims to be one of the nation’s most successful matchmakers. I’m going to buy it. You know why? Steve looks like a jerk, he dresses like a New Jersey homosexual (much love, Brian), he talks like a douchebag…yet despite this, I still dig him. Anyone who can be likeable with that many things stacked against him must know something about charisma.

The idea behind Tough Love is to take women who are unsuccessful with men and teach them over the course of 8 weeks how to be successful. The resulting training is a mash up of Pickup Artist tricks and Charm School common sense. In the premier, Steve makes the ladies go on a speed dating session, walk around the pool in front of a group of guys, and attend a party. Afterwards, they’re able to find out the impression they made.

The thing that makes Tough Love so entertaining has almost nothing to do with the women’s ability to learn and grow. We get the same old platitudes we get every time we invite horrible women on TV: “I’m confident with my body,” “You don’t know my situation,” “I’m a slut because my dad never loved me.” Nah, the real treat of Tough Love are the men they get to sit as judge and jury on these poor monomaniacal basket cases. Those, gorgeous, gorgeous men with their amazing hair and beautiful jackets. They give honest assessments of all of the women that manage to reaffirm some stereotypes (re: men are shallow), while at the same time shattering others (re: men aren’t perceptive). These men can size up these women remarkably fast and with remarkable accuracy, which is fascinating for those of us who were told by our mothers and aunts and older, more experienced female friends that men were blinded by looks and easily fooled. Turns out, even beautiful men can have emotional intelligence. Who knew?

Tough Love Boot Camp is surprisingly addictive. It’s refreshingly honest, shockingly tasteful, and lacks sexism entirely. And that’s sexism against men as well as that against women. The show refuses to hold women and men to unrealistic standards, and instead forces the participants to look objectively at the reality of the dating world, while holding themselves to a higher standard. But don’t worry–there are more than enough emotional train wrecks to keep things interesting. Without them, would it even be VH1?

Megan Hauserman slaps Sharon Osbourne with a lawsuit

Reality show career girl Megan Hauserman is suing Sharon Osbourne for attacking her during the Rock of Love Charm School Girls reunion.

The attack came when Ms. Hauserman, who was a contestant on the show, said that host Sharon Osbourne was only famous for managing her “brain dead rock star” husband, Ozzy. Mrs Osbourne got her television start as the famously foul-mouth matriarch on the MTV reality show, The Osbournes. She later went on to star in reality talent shows in the U.K. and as a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent.

According to Hauserman’s attorney, the attack, which aired on the reunion show, the catfight left her “grievously and permanently injured and hurt in her health, strength and activity” and “will be prevented from attending to any occupation in the future.” In other words, the hairpulling and scratching made her sad, emotionally fractured, and unable to do any kind of work, except for reality shows that film her in a bikini.

Megan Hauserman was the winner of the third season of the reality show Beauty and the Geek, and has been on the VH1 reality shows Rock of Love, Rock of Love Charm School Girls, and I Love Money. She is also said to be starring in her own VH1 dating show in the future.

Taya from Rock Of Love Bus Penthouse Pictures NSFW

Anyone who watches Rock of Love Bus regularly knows that Taya was a Penthouse Pet. Actually, all you have to do is watch it for about five minutes and you’ll most likely hear her mention being a Penthouse Pet (or model). So naturally, I had to go find the pictures so that I could see what all of the fuss was about. Now I see why she is in the Penthouse Pet for 2009.  But you didn’t come here to read my opinion on the pictures. You came to draw your own conclusion.

These Pictures are NSFW so as always make sure the kiddies are out of the room.

Stars from Rock of Love and A Shot a Love go head to head on Battle of the Bods

Fox Reality Channel is bringing sexy back with all-new episodes of its successful original series, “Battle of the Bods,” proving you don’t have to be a man to think like one. Clothes come off and claws come out on “Battle of the Bods,” which takes five outspoken ladies who must rank themselves in order of physical attractiveness in order to match the rankings of a panel of male judges sitting behind a one-way mirror. If the women are successful, they win cash prizes. Feisty British comedienne Olivia Lee (Punk’d, Comedy Lab: Olivia Lee’s Naughty Bits) returns to host all-new episodes of the eye candy-filled original, “Battle of the Bods,” premiering Saturday, February 14 at 10p/9c.

In “Battle of the Bods,” the five women compete in three rounds to rank their best attributes, which include the categories face, butt, chest, legs and the full package. For every rank the women match with the male judges, they build their cash prize. The male judges don’t get off that easy though – at the end of each episode the tables are turned and the ladies get their chance to rank the men’s bodies for bonus cash.

Watch for special “Reality Star” episodes with men and women from some of the most popular reality shows including, “Rock of Love” (VH1) and “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila” (MTV), and a “grudge match,” featuring some audience-favorite females from previous shows.

Bret Michaels Halts Rock of Love Tour to Help Crash Victims Families

Rocker and reality show star Bret Michaels has suspended his Rock of Love Bus tour to assist the families of two people who were killed in a crash that was caused by a “Rock” roadie.

Teenagers Yasmin Jackson and Kevetta Davis were fatally injured in a car accident that occured Friday on Interstate 57 in Illinois. The accident was caused when Michaels’ roadie, Dennis Hernendez fell asleep while driving a truck to  a Rock of Love shooting location. The truck veered off the road, crossing the median strip and killing the two girls.

Although Hernandez was assisting in the Rock of Love shoot, he was not an actual associate of Bret Michaels or part of his tour staff, according to VH1.

VH1 issues this statement:

A crew member from the 51 Minds Entertainment production of the upcoming ‘Rock Of Love Bus’ series on VH1 was involved in an auto accident on Interstate 57 in southern Illinois on Friday afternoon. The crew member, who is not an associate of Bret Michaels or part of his tour staff, was traveling alone to the next location stop for the series. The accident resulted in two fatalities in one car and injuries to two passengers in another vehicle. The crew member survived and has been released from the hospital. Local authorities continue to investigate.

Bret Michaels has requested that his participation in the production of the series be temporarily suspended in deepest sympathy as he attempts to reach out to the families of the victims. Traveling separately, Mr. Michaels had left Illinois early Friday morning and was not near the scene of the accident.

Michaels, 51 Minds Entertainment and VH1 extend their deepest sympathies to everyone involved in this terrible accident.

“As a father of two, I cannot even imagine what the families must be going through at this time. I will make every attempt to reach out to them to let them know that my heart and prayers are with them during their time of grief,” said Michaels in a statement.
