Celebrity Apprentice: Bret Michaels

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: When Cages Attack!

Posted by KAT in Daisy of Love

May 26th, 2009, 12:38 PM

Welcome back from the long weekend, everybody!

And what better way to dive back into the work week than to discuss Sunday’s Daisy of Love?  Let’s do this!

This episode followed the dudes as they directed a photo shoot to photograph the cover of Daisy’s single “Pretty Messed Up.”  The fellas were broken into two teams and given specific roles: art director, photographer, make-up/hair, model.

Daisy of Album Cover!  Here are the images the two teams came up with:

Daisy De La Hoya: Pretty Messed Up

Daisy De La Hoya: Pretty Messed Up

Not half bad!

It was close, but the punky/pinky shot won out in the end.  Fox was named team MVP regardless of being totally worthless, basically because he smooched it up with Daisy during the shoot and batted his eyelashes while he applied her make-up and trashy hair extensions.  He got to go on a solo date with our gal Daise, wherein he basically said a bunch of stupid, stupid shizz, like how he wants someone who will go out when he says he’s going out and how that makes him say, “Wow.”  You can’t make this stuff up, folks.  Put a lid on it, Fox.

Back at the homestead, Sinister was obviously all butthurt about not winning the MVP solo date for the rest of the ep on account of he came up with the shoot’s concept and look and basically directed the whole thing and everybody involved.  Apparently, Sinister thinks these competitions are based on merit rather than on being hot and flirty, which has been his Achilles’ heel since day one.  Dude might not be the dullest crayon in the box, but he certainly isn’t the sexiest, either.

It’s called Daisy of Love, not Daisy of Talent, loser.

But the show’s biggest stinker (besides a totally awesome skunk who snuck into the house and sprayed it up with stank, prompting 12 Pack to dump a bottle of tomato juice on his chiseled abs!) was Cage, who went totally apeshizz or, as our friend Fox put it, was “furiated” throughout the entire episode.  Homeboy burns Flex, attacks 6 Gauge, then hops back on Flex for a beatdown.  Not even sure exactly what he was so pissed about, to be honest; it was just one big flurry of fury.

Mamma mia!  Daisy of Anger Management Issues!

Cue testimonials from Cage ’bout how he had it so rough growing up that all he knows is fightin’.  Blah blah blah. He spends the end of the episode weeping it up (seriously, guy shoulda gotten one of those single-tear face tattoos rather than the weird tribal shizz he came up with) and H2Hing with Daisy about how he doesn’t think he can stay in the house without hurting someone.  In the end, Daisy and Cage decide he should leave, and thus, no one is sent home that night.

ANOTHER night of voluntary eliminations?  Why, I never!  I think it’s safe to say Daisy’s feeling pretty crappy about herself, as no one can get it together for long enough to try to win her love.  She leaves the room crying.  AGAIN.

IMHO, all this voluntary bouncing is sort of fun.  Adds some twists and turns, speeds up the show… and besides, you expect us to believe all these dudes would be into Daisy after seeing that pucker up close?  Love the honesty, fellas!

Oh, and in case you were interested, following the departure of my boy London (boo!), I’m throwing my support behind a new candidate.  He’s not entirely dumb as bricks, and he’s handsomer than the others… he’s Flex!:

Daisy of Love: Flex

Daisy of Eyeliner, it’s Flex FTW!

Step it up, dude!

Daisy of Love: Daisy de la HoyaHave y’all been keeping up with Daisy of Love?  You know I have!  We’re only three episodes in and already ELEVEN of the original twenty bros have been given the boot or bounced.

It seems VH1 casting directors did a crappy job casting the show, as the majority of dudes are either a) legitimately insane, b) terrible, or c) not there for Daisy.

The Swedish triplets just wanted free food and booze, Flipper was crazy, Brooklyn had a gf, Toolbox badmouthed Daisy, Torch and Weasel were ugly, and Cable Guy and Professor were snoozers.

I’m pleased to note that three of my four “guys who have no chance of winning” have already been given the boot.  I’m so good at this stuff.

Daisy, as hard to look at as she is, has proven herself to be quite a sympathetic object of affection.  I really do believe that she’s actually looking for love!  In like, a totally entertaining way, though. She’s still down to make out and party or whatever.  Don’t worry, this isn’t The Bachelor, we don’t have to pretend that anyone’s actually making an intellectual connection.

So anyway, enough about Daisy and her dudes, back to ME.  I’d like to let you know that I’ve thrown my support behind a particular Daisy of Love contestant.

Feast your eyes on LONDON:

Daisy of Love: London

He’s not British, but he’s cute, wears eyeliner, and sorta looks like Billie Joe from Green Day.  No face tattoo, either.  What more could you hope for from this group of losers?

LOLwut? London FTW!

Bret Michaels in… A Letter From Death Row!

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

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!

Your Tour Ends Here, John Mayer

Bret Michaels & Jennifer AnistonWahoo!  Here’s what Bret Michaels, star of Rock of Love, Rock of Love 2, and Rock of Love Bus had to say about Friends / whateverthatmoviescalled star Jennifer Aniston:

“There is no doubt I find Jennifer to be very hot, smart, funny down-to-earth and a great actress. She is creative and seems to be on top of her business as well. Most importantly, she seems like someone you could take home to meet mom — yet, behind closed tour bus doors, she could rock your world. I am really just stating the facts as I see them.”

On her relationship with John Mayer, he says he respects it, “but should John fall out of the picture for some reason… I’m just saying.”

Hey-ohhh!  As a huge Bret Michaels fan and a big believer that Jennifer Aniston is a total bummer, this hypothetical coupling warms me to my core.  Jennifer Aniston alone?  Sad and pathetic.  Jennifer Aniston and Bret Michaels?  A couple of adorable forty-year-olds who’ve decided there’s honor in settling for less and will forever live a warm life of mind-numbing comfort, crying in each other’s arms and flat-ironing one another’s hair!

Will you stay in this house and continue to rock Bret Michaels’s world, Jen?

And P.S., go ahead and lie to my face and tell me you can’t picture this young lady writhing around on stage wearing stone-washed denim and a Poison t-shirt cut off at the shoulders:

Jennifer Aniston

GET ON THE BUS, JENNIFER ANISTON!
