Oh my goodness, you guys!!!  I haven’t heard news this exciting in a while!  I literally gasped when I read the news!

Looks like my man Bret Michaels will be on the next season of Celebrity Apprentice!  The Poison frontman and Rock of Love / Rock of Love 2 / Rock of Love Bus (ha!) reality star will be duking it out again his fellow near-celebs to win Donald Trump’s respect and some dolla billz for the charity of his choice.

The New York Post put out a list of castmembers before NBC could even get to it.  Here’s what they have in store for us:

* Sharon Osbourne (America’s Got Talent)
* Cyndi Lauper (”Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”!)
* Carol Leifer (Seinfeld writer, Elaine was based on her)
* Bill Goldberg (wrestler)
* Daryl Strawberry (
baseball dude)
* Curtis Stone (Aussie celebrity chef)
* Summer Sanders (Olympic gold medal swimmer)
* Sinbad (comedian!)
* Holly Robinson Peete (Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper?)
* Maria Canellis (wrestler)
* Rod Blagojevich (disgraced Illinois gov!)

The return of Blago!  The real Elaine!  Wrestling!  What do you think?  Will you be watching?

Argh! Continue to Rock Me World or Walk the Plank!

Happy almost-4th of July, everybody!

In order to get the countdown to the long weekend started off right, I present to you a photo of Rock of Love reality star / Poison frontman Bret Michaels dressed as a pirate from a recent People magazine photo spread:

Swashbucklers seem oddly patriotic, don’t they?  Especially if they’re Bret Michaels!  The U.S. of A is full of rebels and rock stars, after all.  Suck it, Queen Mum!

Bret Michaels Gets No Respect!

Poor Bret Michaels.  As I’m sure everyone’s heard by now, the Rock of Love reality star/rocker got pelted in the head by a descending backdrop whilst performing on stage at the Tony Awards this past week.

If you haven’t seen it - then, well, fine, here’s some video footage:

Originally, Bret just laughed it off, saying “All I remember is Shrek and the donkey helping me up, and Liza Minnelli giving me a towel.”  Good sport!

However, today, his rep has come out with a public statement, expressing annoyance with the backdrop plopdrop.  My fave parts in bold:

Bret Michaels in his Poison days“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. Although Bret was visibly dazed, he remained extremely calm backstage as members of Poison’s 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 remain to be seen until all x-rays are back. 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 Minelli, Dolly Parton or Elton John, the Tonys would have at least issued a letter of concern.”

Oh MAN!  So, a) I can’t think of anything cooler than having a member of Poison’s road crew wipe blood off your face, b) there are no marks in rock ‘n roll (unless you count TRACK MARKS badummmchhhh), and c) show the man some respect, Tony Awards!

I’m with the Bret Michaels’s rep on this one.  Liza Minelli may be wobblin’ on her own already with all those martinis jostlin’ around in her belly, but seriously, the second she gets smacked in the head by a stage prop, she’d raise a stink so stinky it’d be stinkier than her 2003 divorce with David Gest (oops, too soon?).

I’m putting my foot down: Bret Michaels deserves to be treated as Liza Minelli, no better, no worse.  The man is a national treasure!

Besides, they both do equally wonderful things with eyeliner.

Daisy of Love: Little Buddy Beatdown

Last night, on Daisy of Love - which I’ve come to realize is my favorite TV show at the moment, no shame - the guys were pitted against one another in some serious combat: cage fighting.  Luckily for them, Cage (an ACTUAL cage fighter) had excused himself from the show just one week prior, so they were spared some serious damage.

Daisy of Love: 6 Gauge, 12 Pack, Chi-Chi, Sinister, Fox, Flex, & Big Rig

The fellas were split up by weight class to keep the fight fair.  Here’s how it went:

Big Rig vs. 12 Pack: A trained fighter, B.R. easily annihilated his ab-ulous competitor, though 12 Pack put up a pretty decent fight.

Fox vs. Chi-Chi: Fox seemed to be doing okay… for the first 37 seconds, after which he gave up.  He’s a hairdresser, he cuts hair!

Flex vs. 6 Gauge: Flex whooped 6 Gauge’s arse, to no one’s surprise.  Seems the general consensus in the house is that 6 Gauge doesn’t really try at much of anything (including competing for Daisy’s love!).

Chi-Chi vs. Sinister: Chi-Chi pledges he’d never hit his “little buddy,” but after Sinister gets a few good punches in, the Cheechmeister gets him in a choke-hold (no clue if its actually called that btw) and wins the match.  Suck it, little buddy!

In the end, Big Rig wins MVP and gets to go on a private date with Daisy, alone in a bubble bath.  Homeboy gets in the tub and immediately rubs his face in between her breasts, which doesn’t weird her out at all.  We can only assume people do that to her ALL the time.

Daisy of Love: Big Rig & Daisy

But what DOES weird her out is when he tells her he’s falling for her and gives her a photo of his son.  Our fair Daisy has got her priorities wrong, methinks.

Otherwise, good date.  Before preparing for her next date - with Chi-Chi, Sinister, and Flex - Daisy goes outside to talk with 6 Gauge, on account of he’s been distant.  He tells her about his days as a stripper, pretending to love the ladies outside of work to get their moneys.  Daisy grimaces and tells him she loved stripping because she’s an entertainer, not for the money.  “I’m not that desperate,” she tells him.

Value judgments from Daisy of Love?!  LOVE IT.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Flex and 12 Pack team up to break up “the twins” - their nickname for BFFs/roomies Chi-Chi and Sinister. Flex starts going on and on about how if it were HIM in a competition for Daisy with his best friend, he’d kill him.  You can tell these sneaky mind games are starting to work on Sinister, who’s starting to resent Chi-Chi.

Okay!  So now we’re on our tattoo date and Chi-Chi continues kissing some serious butt and gets Daisy’s lips tattooed on his hip, which annoys Sinister, on account of he had thought up the idea like aaaages ago.  Blah blah Sinister gets the word “sinister” on his wrist, Flex gets a touch-up, yada yada yada am I the only one who doesn’t give a shizz about tats?

Back at the farm, Fox gets a call from his brother, who tells him that his girlfriend had just found out he was on the show and they like, start speaking Pig Latin or something to confuse us viewers at home.  Girlfriend?!  Yup!  Apparently Fox has been living with some babe until leaving for the show.  Unclear as to whether or not he broke it off with her.

Daisy of Love: Fox

Stupid, stupid Fox confides in 12 Pack, who tells him to immediately tell Daisy, which he does.  He really vaguely explains what’s going on, making his story hard to believe.  Luckily for him, Daisy’s too lost in his smoldering good looks to really give a rat’s A.  Besides, she basically did the same thing to Bret Michaels on Rock of Love 2, so she can’t really complain.

In the end Daisy decides to send 6 Gauge home, on account of she’s not really feelin’ it.  Fox is super relieved and tells us folks watching at home, “Honesty is… awesome.”  Well put, Fox.

What do you think, guys?  I, personally, stand by my pick: Flex.  Go home already, Fox!

Tila Tequila Dating Ray J?

Wha?!  What happened to Billy Corgan?

Just last month, A Shot at Love’s Tila Tequila was all up on the lanky, hairless Smashing Pumpkins frontman.

Now? She’s seeing Brandy’s li’l bro and fellow reality star Ray J (from For the Love of Ray J, and the Kim Kardashian sex tape, duh)!  What gives?

Ray J & Tila Tequila

From Ms. Tequila’s official MySpace page:

My baby is Ray J…..and no man has made me feel so loved and so happy in such a long time. We really do love each other and I am so happy to have FINALLY met someone who treats me with respect and love. He is so sweet to me and makes me melt everytime I see him…….I love my baby……so there you have it! Tila Tequila is officially dating Ray J!!!!!! I think we make the cutest couple….dont you?????

WHATEVER, Tequila.  I can smell a stanky stank publicity stunt a mile away - I follow Speidi religiously, after all!  Two VH1 reality stars in love?  I don’t buy this for one second.  I give the “leaked” sex tape 24 hours to surface.

Eh. Tila Tequila’s old news anyway. If you’re interested in watching a legitimately awesome babe find love on reality VH1, direct your attention to Daisy of Love.  More about that later.

Bret Michaels in… A Letter From Death Row!

Posted by KAT in Rock of Love Bus, The West Wing

April 20th, 2009, 05:31 PM

Hey-oohhhh!  Did everyone watch the Rock of Love Bus reunion special last night?  Could everyone see the regret in Bret Michaels’s eyes?  Holler at me, Team Mindy!  Taya ain’t nothin’ but a pair of squiggly eyebrows, if you ask me.

Now I know what you’re thinking: WHERE will I find something to watch next Sunday that’ll combine both Bret Michaels and bad acting?

I got your answer right here.  Find yourself a copy of psychological thriller A Letter From Death Row, written by (WHAM!), directed by (BAM!), and starring (SHAZAM!) Bret Michaels!  Oh, and no big deal, he soundtracked it, too.

Check out this trailer:

Bret’s acting is reminiscent of a young Joey Lawrence, no?  SO GOOD.  He plays convicted killer Michael Raine.  OOooOOooh!

And YES, that’s Martin Sheen!  Before he was dreamy President Barlet on The West Wing (step aside, Barack!), he starred as Bret’s papa in A Letter From Death Row.  And HELLO! They threw in a Charlie Sheen cameo as a bonus!

As for the plot, it’s basically Silence of the Lambs meets The Fugitive, except way better.

YOU’RE WELCOME!

Is There a Real Ross & Rachel Baby in the Works?

Posted by KAT in Friends

Friends: Rachel Green and Ross Geller

Oh, WHAT?  Now, this is just ridonkulous.

Fine.  So no one told her life was gonna be this way.  Her job’s a joke, she’s broke!  Her love life’s D.O.A!  And now, apparently Jennifer Aniston is going around telling everyone she wants to be artificially inseminated! Her biological clock is ticking and she’s got no man, after all.  Jen must feel like her life is always stuck in second gear. Time for some invitro fertilization, I guess.

But that’s not even the ridonk part!

The ridonk part is, bummer Jen’s top candidate for baby daddy is none other than David Schwimmer, a.k.a. the Ross to her Rachel on Friends!

Life imitating art or whaeva.  In case you missed the 789th season of Friends, Ross and Rachel had a baby together.  Doi.

I realize this goss is from the National Enquirer, so it likely isn’t true, but COME ON!  Would you really not believe that Jennifer Aniston lives in a fantasy world where she actually thinks she’s  Rachel Green?  She’s had a tough year, people.  Some people need to retreat into a world of make-believe or whatevs to get by.  They’re called actors.

Though I understand the logic behind bummer Jen’s sperm donor choice, I’m gonna have to put my two cents in anyway: Jen, will you PLEASE let Schwimmer’s tour end here and accept Bret Michaels’ all-access pass to his heart in order to continue rocking his world?

Yeah?

WTF?!

Billy Corgan & Tila Tequila

Billy Corgan & Tila Tequila

I’m not like a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan or anything, but I got some serious BOING! eyeballs when I found out the band’s frontman Billy Corgan is currently dating reality star Tila Tequila.   Corgan, a successful, well-respected musician, is dating Tequila, the chick who gets sexy on MySpace and bats her eyelashes at prospective suitors on A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

Here’s what he sings to her, during alone time: “Tequiiiillllaa’s the greatest… babe I’ve ever known…”

WEIRDED OUT!

In related news: Omgah please let Jennifer Aniston give Bret Michaels the chance he deserves.
