Bret Michaels posted pics and a rant on his MySpace page regarding the Tony’s incident the other night where he was injured onstage after running into a huge stage prop.

Or maybe the stage prop ran into him. It depends on who you ask.

Bret’s rep released a scathing statement, suggesting if Bret had been a huge A-lister that he would have been treated better after the accident. But instead the Tony’s swept him under the rug and acted like it was no big thang.

An excerpt reads:

“I find it surprising that a Tony spokesperson would brush off this incident with a comment stating ‘Mr. Michaels missed his mark’ with no mention of concern for his condition. If everyone at the Tonys were aware that Bret missed his mark then they should have been aware enough to stop the set piece from hitting him or at least slowed it down until he cleared the stage.

I feel had this incident happened to Liza Minnelli, Dolly Parton or Elton John the Tonys would have at least issued a letter of concern.

Bret has performed live, with Poison or solo, for over 20 years and on a daily basis is around pyro, lasers and a moving light show. He understands that there is always an element of risk in any live performance, but Bret entrusts his safety to the crew whose job it is to make sure the show goes off without a hitch and should any member of the band be in harm’s way that they do not complete the gag.

However in this situation Bret was not on his stage but was at the mercy of the Tonys. He was performing on the Tonys stage and had the reasonable expectation that that safety of the artist was a priority and at no time did he do anything over the top or outlandish that would have put himself or others in a dangerous situation.”

(Read the entire statement after the cut.)

He is right. It’s funny because it was Bret Michaels. But damn straight, if it would have been Dolly Parton, oh lawd, people would have SCRAMBLED!

The pics Bret posted are hilarious. He looks exactly the same in every photo he takes. The way he purses his lips..ugh.

BRET MICHAELS REPRESENTATIVES RESPOND TO INCIDENT AT TONY AWARDS

Los Angeles: June 9, 2009: After a performance by singer, Bret Michaels, at the Tony awards Sunday night, he turned to exit the stage and was struck in the head by a descending half ton stage prop, sweeping him off his feet causing contusions to his face and knocking him to the ground. Even at that point of impact the heavy prop was still not halted and continued to descend even though Michaels remained underneath it. Witnesses state the singer moved himself out of the way just moments before the prop touched down.

“With all due respect to everyone working the Tony awards somewhere down the line there was a lack of communication and the prop should have been immediately halted until Michaels was clear. Sunday morning at rehearsals, Bret was never informed that the descending set piece existed, let alone would be moving into position as he was exiting the stage,” stated Janna Elias a representative for Michaels. “Although Bret was visibly dazed he remained extremely calm backstage as members of our road crew brought him a towel to wipe the blood from his face. His only comment at the time was ‘What the hell just hit me?’ The severity of this injury is not being taken lightly as symptoms from head and neck injuries at first may seem like nothing and sometimes do not present for days. At this time the full extent of his injuries remains to be seen until all x-rays are back.”

Ms. Elias continues, “I find it surprising that a Tony spokesperson would brush off this incident with a comment stating ‘Mr. Michaels missed his mark’ with no mention of concern for his condition. If everyone at the Tonys were aware that Bret missed his mark then they should have been aware enough to stop the set piece from hitting him or at least slowed it down until he cleared the stage. I feel had this incident happened to Liza Minnelli, Dolly Parton or Elton John the Tonys would have at least issued a letter of concern. Bret has performed live, with Poison or solo, for over 20 years and on a daily basis is around pyro, lasers and a moving light show. He understands that there is always an element of risk in any live performance, but Bret entrusts his safety to the crew whose job it is to make sure the show goes off without a hitch and should any member of the band be in harm’s way that they do not complete the gag. However in this situation Bret was not on his stage but was at the mercy of the Tonys. He was performing on the Tonys stage and had the reasonable expectation that that safety of the artist was a priority and at no time did he do anything over the top or outlandish that would have put himself or others in a dangerous situation.”

“To put this into perspective,” Ms. Elias adds, “a garage door has a safety mechanism so that it doesn’t come down if your child should accidentally walk under it while it is in motion. You mean to tell us that with all the technology, producers, directors, stage managers and crew that no one at the Tonys saw Mr. Michaels clearly backing up and turning to exit the stage or was capable of halting the prop or slowing it so it didn’t strike Bret? There was no official mark, Bret did what he was instructed to do which was to finish the song and return to the retractable stage platform, which was exactly what he was doing when the prop struck his head.” Bob Wallerstein, a representative for Michaels, said “we realize the show is live and must go on, however it is unfortunate that the show’s host made light of the situation without having any knowledge of the severity of Bret’s injuries. Comments that Mr. Harris was doing shots backstage with Mr. Michaels and that Bret was completely fine were untrue considering Bret never saw Mr. Harris prior to, during or after the Tonys but in fact was being attended to by medical personnel backstage. Michaels did not return to the stage, the seats nor attend any after parties.” An official statement on this incident is expected by Michaels by the end of the week.

Who knew Bret Michael’s wig had a mind of it’s own!?

Apparently it has, and it’s on the run, disguising itself for fear of being returned to Michael’s head!

It even has it’s own website, BretsWig.com.

If you see the wig, stay calm, contact your local authorities and grab a pair of scissors for protection!

And when I say ‘it’ I mean semen.

This guy is such an attention whore! He will say just about anything for publicity or to promote his upcoming reality show, Rock of Love Bus. Let’s just call it the Bang Bus!

This time Bret Michaels tells People magazine that he is still “in love” with Ambre Lake, the winner of Rock of Love 2.

“I still love her.  I’m not really over her yet. We still hang. She was just out with me a couple days ago and we were having a great time. She’s really got it. I think she’s great.”

Whoa, back up.  Bret loves his Ambre?  Since when?  Oh, whoops, I’m sorry, I guess that was his dick talking..!  My bad!

“The reason for destruction of all my relationships is that I’m passionate about being on the road and making music.  I have great relationships. But the women I date don’t realize that I spend between 6 and 8 months of my life on the road — touring or traveling or seeing family with my daughters.”

Ok, fine.  Then why the hell do you keep having these lame reality shows?  Oh yeah, because #1: His band sucks.  #2: He can score lots o’ trim. #3: He can score lots o’ trim.

But Bret keeps up the facade, pretending to be love starved.  He thinks his next reality show could possibly find him ‘the one,’ being as the girls will learn what it’s like to live with him on the road.

“Wait till they travel on a bus and are living in and out of a suitcase under the bay of the hotel,” he says. “You know they’re going to show up here with 14 suitcases when you can fit about one. I have two pairs of jeans … You learn to live like that. It’s a whole different life.”

Bret adds that he never leads the girls on or toys with their affections.  He only wants ‘the meat’ of the relationship.  Heh.

“I’m pretty honest with the girls.  I tell them, ‘Look, we’re dating. There’s no white picket fence.’ It’s not like all of a sudden the show’s over and the next day we’re married and that kind of thing.”

As for getting married, does he think it will happen someday?

“I don’t know,” he says. “I never really thought about it.”

After two failed seasons of finding ‘true love’ and sorting through a mess of crazy bitches, Bret Michaels and VH1 are ready for yet another season of Rock of Love.

Over at VH1’s blog they are announcing that Bret and Ambre are over, as if they were actually ever a serious couple to begin with!

The new show will be called Rock of Love Bus and will air in early 2009. The new batch of reality show groupies will go on the road and across the country for a month with Bret in his tour bus.

Jeff Olde, VH1’s Executive Vice President said, “Seasons one and two of Rock of Love shattered ratings records and VH1 is so happy to have Bret back for another outrageous season. This time we’ll reveal Bret in his most comfortable setting- the infamous rock star tour bus.”

From VH1:

This time as the bus pulls into each new city, the girls will engage in challenges specifically revolving around Bret’s life on the road. Whether it’s greeting aggressive groupies with a smile, enduring grueling schedules, dodging the advances of the warm-up band or even stepping in last-minute to fill in for delinquent roadies – these girls will be put to the test. This season, as the Rock of Love Bus heads into America’s heartland, the show will be taking the viewer to a whole new level with crazy, fun, over-the-top challenges- imagine Truck Stop Olympics or a dance contest on top of the St. Louis Arch or even a BBQ cook-off beneath the World’s Largest Thermometer. And also, back by popular demand…Mud Bowl 3. Americana at it’s finest!

Or same old shit if you ask me! But yes, I eat it up for dinner. Yes, I do.

I do hate to admit that reality shows are one of my guilty pleasures.

Rock of Love with Bret Michaels is one of my favorites although I don’t say that with pride. So when I heard that George Clooney and girlfriend Sarah Larson watched it as well I was a little surprised.

Sarah told Harper’s Bazaar, “We caught ourselves rooting for someone or getting frustrated. And we were like, ‘This is sad.’”

Larson was once on a reality show herself, NBC’s Fear Factor. She says that if George would have been a reality star when she met him he wouldn’t have had a shot. (Duh.)

“If George had been on a reality show, I don’t think I’d have talked to him. It would have been like, ‘That’s nice.’ But after a little consideration she adds, “I don’t know. He still wants to date me, and I ate a scorpion.”

After the finale of Rock of Love 2 Sunday night we are all left to wonder: Did Bret Michaels truly find his ‘Rock of Love‘ this season?

Last years winner Jess didn’t have a connection whatsoever with Bret and it was revealed at the reunion show that the two never saw one another after taping ended. Was it the same with Ambre?

The Associated Press interviewed Bret and asked him these things as well as a few other interesting tidbits about the show and himself. And yes, they talk about the hair!! Check out the interview along with my translations of what Bret is really saying. Heh.

AP: Is this just a show for entertainment, or did you really go into this thinking that you were going to find true love?

Michaels: I said this from day one: I went into this to have fun and maybe find someone to like. True love is not going to be found instantly on a TV show. That is only for scripted shows. Scripted reality, they give someone a show. It is the reason “Rock of Love” has been the No. 1 show. It has been kept as real as possible. Anyone thinking they are going into a TV show finding love, they might find someone that they like and eventually learn to like them more. I think finding true love, I never went in with that intent.

(Spicy’s translation: No. Just hoping for a little publicity, a couple BJs and maybe a good lay.)

AP: Did you find true love this time?

Michaels: I found someone who is really nice and cool and gets rock ‘n’ roll. We can see where it goes from here.

(Spicy’s translation: No true love, but I am gittin’ some..)

AP: Do you feel that doing a reality show hurts your credibility as a rocker?

Michaels: I am a rock star/musician who has had, with a lot hard work, a continuous and long career with or without reality TV. When I went in and they came after me when I was going to do “Rock of Love,” they gave me this novelty concept. They were trying to go back to ‘86. I lived ‘86. I loved ‘86, but I live in 2006/2007. I love my spandex and cowboy boots from ‘87. I thought it was fantastic. (But) I didn’t want my show to be a novelty. I have generations of fans. I think the show has been a plus for this reason: it has exposed my solo act. It has exposed that this is really me.

(Spicy’s translation: Nope, because I haven’t been a recognized as a credible rocker in twenty years.)

AP: What are the most important lessons you learned from being in a house with a bunch of women?

Michaels: One good lesson that I have learned is patience. Even if you are not listening, act like you are listening. Even if you are in the background watching ESPN, listen or pretend to be listening. If you are going to use the same nice charm and jokes, try not to take three women on a date at the same time so that each of them does not know you’re using it.

(Spicy’s translation: Lie your ass off.)

AP: Isn’t it every man’s dream to date three women at once?

Michaels: The date is the dream because it looks good for your image. However, saying lines while the other ones can hear it and then turning to another and saying the same line is not a smart move.

(Spicy’s translation: Yes, but not on this show.)

AP: Did you get overwhelmed dating three women at once?

Michaels: No, I was thinking it was actually awesome. It is a lot like the tour bus. It is like backstage. I had years to prepare me for the show.

(Spicy’s translation: I want everyone to know I still have a tour bus and groupies backstage!!)

AP: On the first season, you picked Jess. The relationship did not work out. What went wrong?

Michaels: No one explains to you in the world of reality TV that when you are done, you spend five or six months a part. This is told to you at the end of the show. You get done — there are months where you can’t be traveling and doing stuff (together) because they don’t want anyone to take a picture of you. If I get out at LAX, they have the TMZ people there. If someone gets a picture of you on vacation together with a cell phone, it’s over.

(Spicy’s translation: Helloooo TMZ, are you reading this? You can catch me at LAX!)

AP: Did you have a conversation with Jess about breaking up?

Michaels: When she came back from the show, she was cold as ice and angry. I put her on the spot. I said, “Listen, if it is for show, why would I be inviting you to dinner?” At the reunion, they never showed this, but I said, “How long have you been with your boyfriend?” Her boyfriend and her sell shirts in Chicago. Maybe you should ask her who is for show. I thought she was a pretty girl and intelligent and funny. All the other girls told me she has a boyfriend who sells shirts in Chicago and that was the shirt she was wearing the whole show.

(Spicy’s translation: I’m good at twisting things.)

AP: How difficult is it to find out the truth about these women?

Michaels: Therein is the challenge — getting to the bottom of what the truth is. You know if anyone goes on a date it is the face of a stranger. The true colors (eventually) come out. I am what I am. I tell them, “I play flag football with my friends on the weekends. I like to race motorbikes. I have muscle cars.” I am not saying change is bad. You can look and see what I have been doing for the last 20 years.

(Spicy’s translation: Me, me, me….!!)

AP: Will there be a “Rock of Love 3″?

Michaels: I don’t know … We are looking to do a show called “Bret Michaels Big Rock Road Show” which is just rockers gone wild on the road. I never say never. Right now I am not mentally there. I am having fun doing it and I am thankful to the fans that made the show number one. The girls made the show great.

(Spicy’s translation: As soon as possible.)

AP: What are you hiding under that bandanna?

Michaels: My hair is combined of my hair and the finest extensions Europe has to offer. I do the show without it on all the time and they wont film me. They are like, “Put your bandanna back on. It is your image.” It is my signature thing.

(Spicy’s translation: Liver spots.)

Bret Michaels has been added to a lawsuit filed by the owner of the $9M Rock of Love mansion, who is claiming Michaels and Mindless Entertainment Inc. broke their contract.

The VH1 reality show was shot in the mansion last winter and owner Ray Sahranavard says that during that time $380,000 worth of damage was done to his home which is located in Encino, CA.

Sahranavard is also claiming that Mindless Entertainment told him that they purchased an additional $3M in liability insurance in case anything was damaged. The company is refuting those claims.

The alleged damage includes holes in the walls and ceilings, all doors were removed, lawn and outdoor plants had died, and almost the entire inside of the house had been repainted.

Producers tried to talk their way out any responsibility for damages claiming that Bret was not monitored 24/7 and that they have no control of what happened during the times he wasn’t. So basically, they blamed him, leading him to be added to the lawsuit.

The home owner is claiming fraud, negligence and negligent misrepresentation. He is also accusing Michaels of intentional destruction of property.
