As VH1 cheerfully posted on its official blog:
We can officially announce that Bret and Ambre are over!
Love how they can’t even pretend that this is a bad thing, because it means that Bret Michaels, the lead singer of Poison, is once again unattached and will be back for a third season of his skankfest dating show Rock of Love.
So what was behind his most recent breakup?
Rock star Bret Michaels tried twice to find love by filling a mansion with gorgeous women and having them compete for his heart. But after the final pass was handed out and the cameras stopped rolling, Bret’s picks didn’t work out. He and season two winner, Ambre Lake, really tried to make it work and although they still remain close friends, between his tour line-up and her work schedule there’s no time for a relationship.
“Bret has been very upfront and honest about how difficult maintaining a normal relationship may be for a touring rock star. He’s right, it’s absolutely an insane lifestyle and neither of us had the time to make it work,” stated Lake.
Maybe if it’s so difficult for an aging rock star to maintain “a normal relationship” (and that is definitely a relative term), he should not be hosting a dating reality show.
Just a thought.
Maybe it’s difficult to maintain a normal relationship when it begins on a reality show. I could stop there, but let me add, a reality show that makes me feel like getting tested for STD’s from merely watching it.
You know what I noticed about Brett Michaels? Whenever you write about him you can put most of the stuff in quotes. It would even work with air quotes. Brett Michaels, “lead singer” of the “band” Poison. made “music” with “deep, meaningful lyrics”. See? Get it? You know ‘Cuz they sucked. And if you do air quotes in front of me I’ll cut your frigin’ head off.
HE IS MARRIED! He lives here in Phoenix with his wife and kids.
The show is a joke.
I have nightmares of Hell, and it is a room with 2 doors going out: One says “Flavor of Love”, the other says “Rock of Love” Just bring me a bucket, please.
Oh Llamasrule I just puked a little in the back of my throat when you mentioned “Flavor of Love”. How people can watch this crap is beyond me. They should jsut go out and hire hookers to come over and fight like gladiators to see who can get to be with those two, the winner gets Brett and the loser gets Flavor Flav.
The show should be entitled: A Slut Whoring for Sluts.
@llamasrule, that’s a little like my version of hell, only there is a third door in my hell that reads: “Big Brother”.
Bret Michaels used to look good when I was sixteen, had questionable taste in music, and it was 1989. Now, he looks like an old woman. You really have to be a desperate whore to be on that show.
:They should jsut go out and hire hookers to come over and fight like gladiators to see who can get to be with those two, the winner gets Brett and the loser gets Flavor Flav.”
Biggest ratings ever! I’m surprised no one has thought of this already.
Yes, Aleric, you have a real ratings winner there!
It saddens me to say that I’ve actually watched the show. It was tramatic, and i’m still not ok. That Daisy chick with the swollen lips and fake boobs needs to be put to death.
Admittedly, I liked Ambre from the second season.
Yes, all these women are desperate, idealistic, and insecure, but there were quite a few on the show I liked.
What’s the matter? Was Ambre too old for him? Too close to being his age, so he’d have to face his own? God forbid Bret Michaels have an ounce of substance.
I have this little phrase I throw around quite a bit for which this is appropriate: IF IT’S EVERYONE ELSE, IT’S PROBABLY JUST YOU.
I also find it funny watching Michaels get all butthurt at the very mentioning of other men some of the contestants were involved with, but has no problems with tongueing several of women at the same place and time. Hello pot, meet kettle.
Bottom line: Bret Michaels is shallow and should have chosen Daisy. As much as I think everyone would hate to see that happen on the show, I truly think they’re meant for each other. After all, she’s just an empty headed twit who likes taking her clothes off, and that’s all that should matter, right?
Bret Michaels is the epitome of DO NOT WANT.
It strikes me amusing he wants to be taken seriously, let alone as a metal musician. Of course people are going to disagree with me on what I determine a great musician, but that’s beside the point. You don’t see Bruce Dickinson or James Hetfield having a TV show where they lead on a bunch of emotionally vulnerable women, do you? No! Because whether anyone agrees these are good musicians or not, you can at least agree that they don’t feel as though they need to.
My point is, no-one has ever taken Poison seriously. He knows that, and that’s why when he got too old, he’s now compensating for the “talents” he no longer has with who he sleeps with!
Great post, Christina X, and for the record, I love Bruce Dickinson. He was always a class act, and as a girl growing up in the 80’s when all the metal music was about getting laid or getting high, Maiden was unique in that they sang about historical events, literature, and an amusing harlot that had the upper hand, which is why I still love that band at 34 years old.
god, does anyone even care at this point? i can’t sit and watch that crap, it seriously makes me ill. it’s more money for vh1 and bret michaels sadly. FYI.. he looks like fergie. odd!
I couldn’t be involved with someone who wore more makeup than I did.
STOP SAYING HE LOOKS LIKE FERGIE DAMMIT! It makes me feel weird. You know because… forget it.
You “kill” me Pasta! X-D
Llamasrule, don’t forget the doors marked “I Love NY” and “Shot of Love”! Makes me rrrralph.
Rock of Love was a guilty pleasure of mine I must admit. F’d up girls competing for a rock star from the 80’s they had never met but are sooo in love with, add some wine and before you know it I’m yelling “oh my god, what’s wrong with these people!” at the television. It was wrong, I know. I apologize to my husband.
I, too, must admit that I watch Rock of Love regardless of the fact that it breaks my freaking heart that people like that exist. Also, I am still a fan of Poison. Yes, I’m way used to the mockery at this point. But what I really want to say is that I second the fact that he’s married. I don’t want to say how I know though, because it makes me sound like a super stalker. I’m only a mediocre one at best, people.
This is probably why i stick to listening to talented people or dead people. Becuase the talented don’t need reality shows, and I doubt Tupac is alive to do one.
He’s married?! How do you guys know this?
Bret is just doing the show so that more girls will come see him at his concerts in bars in the U.S.A. Its all about money and fame and his ego!
I’m with you on that Chronic. They’re a little bit before my time, but my mom raised me on listening to Iron Maiden. I can’t help but have a place for them in my heart.
And Bret Michaels only formed Poison to score some ass in the first place. Overstatement of the year, but it’s true.
AMEN merri! and pasta i’m sorry for saying that but he does!! seriously, look at a picture of the two side by side haha
I gotta admit it, I watch this show out of sheer fascination. The kind that happens when a major wreck occurs. There’s crap spilled everywhere and you cannot help but look. However, this fellow is a one-trick pony (if I hear “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” ONE MO’ TIME I am gonna puke) with bad makeup and a bandana covered weave. His decorator should be shung up for the bad brothel job. Lol. It is still humorous in that sick way (oy vey, I admit it! I’m twisted!) to see this pudgy fellow trying to look hot for a bunch of straight-up Ho wannabes.
I wouldn’t necessarily say ho “wannabes”.
Just hos.
Okay you morons !!! If you don’t like Bret then keep it to yourself. I’m a new fan and I love his music. Oh yea, I’m over 40. My favorite video…STAND…My favorite song…Give Me Something to Believe in. It makes me sad to hear all this BS about Bret Michaels. I think he’s very talented and what’s even more amazing…He is still doing it.
You’re over 40 and still fawn over a musician like a 13 year old. Usually it’s the Miley and Paris fans that come here and start calling names and telling us to “keep it to ourself”. All thats missing is horrible typing and an OMG! You should be proud.
jlynn… LOL! Yeah, at that age, when you act that way, you have to wonder if that person will not be in jail for camping out in Bret’s bushes with a knife in one hand and a tube of KY in the other. Seriously. Grow up, PatDono.
patdondo is right if youjerks dont have anything nice to say about him dont post anything I my self think he is great and im 40 also so what does your boyfriend do for a living live off of you cheat on you im sure because your all
if thats the way you talk about someone you dont know just shut up you all must be ulgy and alone jealious freakin retards living check to check take a good look at your lives your all miserable people why dont all of you get a life except for you patdono bret Michaels is a man who has done something with his life can any of you say that for the men in your life he has more money then god and gives to charities Ill bet none of you give a about people in need or you just maybe one of them you all need to find peace in your lives because you are all full of hate he probley wouldn’t give any of you the time of day
OH NO IM SORRY IM SURE HE WOULD BECAUSE YOUR ALL A BUNCH OF RETARDS
Yes, because the contestants on Rock of Love weren’t “ulgy” at all, especially that midget faced Brandi from the first season, and Daisy Duck from the second season. Some real prizes there.
I might be sort of fat, but I admit I’m prettier than the carnies he chose to be on his show.
And o noes! A 45 year old man with a midlife crisis doesn’t want to bump “ulgies” with me twice and never speak to me again! *Slashes wrist*
If you think ANY of those hags are worthy of envy, you’re not watching the show closely enough. Between that midget-faced Brandi from season 1 and Daisy Duck from season 2, I think you’re truly confused what “ulgy” means.
I’m a little bit fat, but there’s no way I’d ever want to look like ANY of those carnies he chose to be on his show in the first place.
And o noes! A delusional, washed up 45 year old rock star doesn’t want to bump “ulgies” with me twice and never speak to me again! Brb, gonna go cut!
