Bret Michaels, star of VH1’s Rock of Love and aging lead singer for Poison, is defending his decision to continue filming a new season of Rock of Love even though he’s co-habitating with his ex-girlfriend and their two children together.
The Poison frontman is currently on season three of his VH1 dating show, but he was recently accused of living a lie — after it emerged he was still sharing a home with his former lover, Kristi Lynn Gibson, whom he dated for 11 years before splitting in 2005.
But Michaels has shot down the claims — insisting he and Gibson are simply doing what’s best for the sake of their two daughters, Raine, eight, and Jorja, three.
In an interview with Blender magazine, he says, “Everyone says that (the show’s a scam), because of my relationship with Kristi. I would never do the show if we were still together, and she wouldn’t be okay with that. She lives here in Scottsdale, (Arizona) with the kids.
“I have two other places, in Vancouver (Canada), and Los Angeles, and the rest of the time I spend on the road.
“When I stay here Kristi and I don’t sleep in the same bed. We’re best friends. My parents went through an extremely tough divorce and I vowed I wasn’t gonna put our kids through that.”
Months ago I called phony on the whole thing, but I didn’t realize he was living with his baby mama. And their daughters. For whom he wants to set an example.
Every rose indeed has its thorn.

So how does a fifty-ish, balding (its a wig) 5′5″ has-been-rockstar whip up some new groupies?
By loading twenty of the nastiest alcoholic strippers, transvestites, and porn stars (this season) on a bus full of Tequila and staging silly makeover contests for them once a day, to determine which of them has the privilege of a date with Brett.
Once every ten minutes, one of them opines about how she is getting closer to Brett and how she really thinks she might be his girlfriend before doing shots out of another girl’s vagina (still not making this up)
As each subsequent girl wises up to what a scam this is, and tells Michaels what a loser he is, he kicks them off the bus, leaving only the dumbest, trashiest skanks of all.
Extra points to the Brazilian chick who wanted nothing to do with him.
He sure likes some manly looking women. One chick on the current season has a deeper voice than he does.
M’kay, so it’s season three. Not season one, but season three. Frankly, anyone who lets this thing in the same room with her without a hazmat suit and a note from his doctor, pretty much deserves whatever clap-addled horror is visited upon her, because it’s not like these silicone-based scabs are being abducted from convents. They compete for the dubious honor of sharing space (and Lord knows what else) with Has-been O’Greasy. Ick, ick, phew, and ick.
I think I got herpes just from reading the post…
Whoa, good thing I wasn’t drinking something to spit over the keyboard! X-D You guys quack me up!
Anyway, soooooooo, Bret thinks that an undefinable nebulous relationship with their not-married parents, and having their father swap spit with all the skanks in the known world on TV for all their frineds to see, is better than going through a difficult divorce? This guy’s a genius.
My husband and I believe that he is doing this for the money and publicity all the while really being with his “ex.” Which has led to some spirited discussions on what would be acceptable and if I would be able to deal with it if he did something like that, i.e. kissing skanky strippers and porn stars on television. He says I wouldn’t be able to deal with it, which is probably true. However, the type of woman who would have kids with Bret Michaels is probably a little different than me.
For example, I have never been a stripper. Nor have I gotten breast implants, posed nude in a magazine, been a groupie of any kind. Luckily, I procreated with a man who is smart, holds down a real job and doesn’t have delusions, in his 40’s, that a 38 year old woman is too old for him (yes I watch. This was from last season)
God, I am so boring. I’ll try out of the next season.
The best hypocritical thing about this being he had a hissy fit in season 2 when the ex-boyfriends came to visit and he found out Daisy was still living with hers… gosh, it’s sad what you end up watching when you’re avoiding working on your senior project in college.
I second that Kristine!
(this is just my opinion) bret has made a fool out of himself doing 3 seasons with all these trashy hookers. nice example he wants to set for his daughters, eh? how would he feel if his daughters went on a show like rock of love bang bus (whatever the hell its called!) and acted like some of the chicks do on there? eeeeesh.
No . . . clue . . . what . . . this . . . is . . .
Walking away quickly before my ignorance catches me.
I think it’s funny now knowing that Bret Michaels is still living with his ex, how offended he gets when any of his contestants are caught even talking to another man than himself. I watched Rock of Love, up until Rock of Love Bus(ted).
Clearly Bret Michaels can’t handle any of his women anywhere near another man because he’s so paranoid, but he obviously has so little self-control with fidelity that he needs his girlfriend to babysit him while he’s on tour so that he doesn’t cheat on her with another skanky groupie, since that’s pretty much what Rock of Love Bus is about anyway.
Moreover, if Bret Michaels really wanted any of his relationships to succeed, he’d at least attempt to resist any trashy piece of ass that offered to sleep with him, regardless whether he was “on tour”. There are so many active musicians who still go on tour and don’t cheat on their wives, so the “I’m on tour” card isn’t really a valid excuse for being unfaithful.
No, Bret, you’re a pig. Plain and simple. If you can’t handle a monogamous relationship, don’t get involved in one, and since you’re not only LIVING with your ex, but on your own show groping and making out with multiple women in the company of a potential girlfriend, you’re as “true” as the women you threw a hissy fit over due to you not being the only one in the picture.
He kind of looks like the women he is trying to ‘romance’ – if that’s what you can call it. He is a sleaze and I can only guess the show is pretty high on the sleaze scale. Let’s not pay any more attention to the old geezer and maybe he and his skanks will go away… http://www.theonion.com/content/video/in_the_know_are_reality_shows
You know who else is 5′5″? Fergie. Man now I’m REALLY creeped out. You know, because… Well never mind.
Right on Fortunate Son. I didn’t watch this show, not because I thought it was trash but because I don’t watch reality shows about other people having sex or trying to have sex.
The real scandal here is that some people still believe that these shows (The Hills, Rock of Love, etc.) are real and unscripted.
Watching other people try to have sex, or having sex is wrong?! NOW what am I supposed to do with all these cameras, and all this cable? How am I supposed to fix all those holes in the walls in ONE NIGHT! Damn.
The show is a total sham. Sort of like every season of “the real world” after the first one.
I’m thinking Michaels throws a wobbly whenever he sees potential prey talking to other men because he knows that any other option, even if it’s a foot-scented soup-wearing dumpster king, will make him look bad by comparison.
Disclaimer: I know that none of these shows are real and unscripted, but I watch them anyway, because if they were “real”, they wouldn’t have already planned out Charm School.
I’ll, however, go as far as to say that the character Bret Michaels portrays on the show is still a massive hypocrite, “real” personal life aside, because of his actions on the show alone.
bret’s not even a hot aging rock star….he deserves the skanks who sigh up for this hot mess…
pasta i swear fergie looks like bret! she does!!
I can’t believe ANYONE believes this show is real.
C’mon, people.
