VH1 to Go 'Behind the Music' of 'Rock of Love's Bret Michaels

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:00:25 GMT

Bret Michaels' career isn't over, and we're not sure if that's such a good thing. Apparently rocking out has no age limits. Anyway, the Rock of Love star and Poison frontman has gotten himself into another TV gig. He won't have ladies lining up for his affections this time though, but millions of fans ready to hear him tell his tale.

Reuters reports that the VH1 iconic series Behind the Music is back on, and will soon be focusing on the journey of Bret Michaels. It won't be for another month, but here's a heads-up on the upcoming show anyway.

'Rock of Love' Star Bret Michaels Discusses Music and Family

In between dating Rock of Love Bus winner Taya and the numerous tours with his band, Bret Michaels says that one of his priorities is simply being a dad. He recently talked to Sioux Falls Argus Leader about the memoir he just released, titled "Bret Michaels: Roses and Thorns." There's no doubt the musician is enjoying his success, but there's more to it that we think.

With a solo album "Rock My World" to his credit, Bret Michaels has been gaining even more fans for his efforts. Even though he's used to the thousands of girls screaming his name, he still finds the life of a rockstar exciting.

'Rock of Love' 2's Aubry Fisher Joins 'LA Ink'

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:00:07 GMT

At times, LA Ink has become a refreshing choice among the sea of reality television shows prominent today. However, it sounds like it's going slowly downhill with the addition of the Rock of Love 2 castoff Aubry Fisher. As a new cast member on the show, will she be able to make it work?

Drama's a certainty when you put Aubry in the upcoming season of LA Ink, as we've seen on her stint in the VH1 competition. Now that she's back in the small screen, we can expect even more. The producers of the TLC series hardly thought it over, since the Bret-Michaels-girlfriend-wannabe just showed up at Kat Von D's shop one day and got a job.

Car Hits Tour Bus of 'Rock of Love' Star Bret Michaels

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 06:00:22 GMT

Maybe being involved in accidents is all part of the rock star life, because Bret Michaels can't seem to get enough of them. After suffering from facial injuries during this year's Tony Awards, the Rock of Love star tempted fate once again. It was another unlucky break for him this Fourth of July weekend, when his tour bus was hit by a car in Canada.

Bret Michaels' broken nose and bloody lip probably haven't healed yet, so this is an unfortunate turn of events for him. According to his official website, a car lost control and hit the star's bus while he and his crew were on their way to St. Paul, Minnesota. They had just come from a performance at Toronto's Molson Amphitheater and were headed for another gig.

Bret Michaels Lightens Up about Tonys and Won't Sue

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 06:00:14 GMT

It seems as though the panic involving Bret Michaels' nose has died down, and the rock star himself has loosened up about the whole Tony Awards incident. He recently talked to People magazine and described what happened to him, even joking around about it. According to the Poison frontman, one way to explain a set piece hitting him on the face is this: "I got my bell rung!"

The 46-year-old Rock of Love star admitted that the accident was indeed a bit grave for an awards show, but he's learned to just let it go and accept that it happened. "All in all, I'd like to think I feel okay," he told the publication. "But I got to be honest with you, I feel pretty beat up."

Bret Michaels Is Bloody Pissed Off at the Tony Awards

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:16:08 GMT

Days after a descending set piece at the Tony Awards came down and cracked him in the face, Rock of Love star and Poison frontman Bret Michaels has posted photos of his injuries on his MySpace. Michaels, and his representatives, are none too pleased that the accident occured, or that it's being taken so lightly--which would not be the case, they say, if it had happened to one of the Tonys' own.

In a lengthy public statement released Tuesday to MTV, Michaels spokesperson Janna Elias criticized the Tonys' apparent apathy about the incident, saying, "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." She went on to say, "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.

'Rock of Love' Star Bret Michaels Knocked Out During Tony Awards

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 05:30:14 GMT

Bret Michaels may be known for smooth antics on Rock of Love, but his stint on the Tony Awards went far from smoothly. During Sunday night's 63rd Tony Awards, the Poison frontman took the stage with his band and made the event memorable. It wasn't exactly for their performance, but because Bret missed his mark and ran into a piece of scenery which knocked him unconscious.

No one expected the star to be injured, since everything seemed to go well when Poison began their set with the cast of Broadway's hair-metal play Rock of Ages. Bret Michaels was belting out the lyrics to the band's hit "Nothin' but a Good Time" when the backdrop descended upon the stage, forcing the musician to the ground.

'Rock of Love' 1 Runner-Up Heather Chadwell One of 'The Sandy Creek Girls'

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 07:00:14 GMT

Heather Chadwell has quite the list of credentials up her sleeve. There's prime antagonist and runner-up on the first season of Rock of Love with Bret Michaels, fourth-placer on Rock of Love: Charm School and strategy-master on I Love Money. While she has her reality television life backing her up, who would've thought she'd land a role in a big screen project?

Surprising as it may sounds, VH1 star Heather Chadwell has been cast on the upcoming drama flick titled The Sandy Creek Girls. It will be directed by Cylk Cozart, an actor renowned for his appearances on movies like Eagle Eye and 16 Blocks.

Rock of Love: Bret Michaels is Busy with Appearances

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:00:35 GMT

What else can a rock star do when his hit reality dating series has finished? Poison front-man and Rock of Love king Bret Michaels has been touring the country promoting his music. He's been seen in ball games and cook-offs, looking like he thinks this reality is far better than what he's had to deal with on television.

The Rock of Love star was recently seen at downtown Toledo in Ohio. While he wasn't really scheduled for a concert in the area, he managed to belt out a tune anyway. Bret Michaels rocked out at Fifth Third Field's Hen House and offered up his rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."

'Rock of Love: Charm School's Destiney Moore Is Pregnant

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 20 May 2009 05:00:11 GMT

Having appeared on quite a number of reality television shows, the Rock of Love, I Love Money, and Charm School star Destiney Moore has good reason to settle down. It's not just her VH1 fame and horror movie acting stints that both excite and exhaust her; it's the good news of having a baby. On her official website, Moore wrote that she's all ready to welcome a boy into the family.

"I am almost 5 months pregnant with my first child!!! YAY!! And, it's a BOY!!!" she wrote on her online diary. The aspiring clothing designer also added that she might consider making garments for her child, adding a new section to her own fashion line.

Mindy Says She "Felt Her Heart" In the 'Rock of Love' Tour Bus

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:00:35 GMT

Being a runner-up for Bret Michaels affections might not seem like much, but it was a tough blow for Mindy Hall. She was neck and neck with winner Taya Parker on Rock of Love Bus, and she admits she didn't expect to go that far. She surely got her heart broken by the great Bret, and she knows it might take a while to get over him.

"My heart still thinks about Bret everyday," Mindy said during her VH1 interview. Though she went on Rock of Love without any interest in the rock star, spending so much time with him stirred up her emotions.

Now that she's won over Mindy and the rest of the girls, Taya Parker is going on and on about Bret Michaels. As his newest (and hopefully last) Rock of Love, she's hoping their relationship would really push through and they'd continue what they started on the show.

Before the series' reunion show aired, Taya was interviewed by Chaunce Hayden of the magazine Steppin' Out. She didn't hold back as she dished the details on what she felt about winning Rock of Love, as well as discussed her plans regarding Bret.

Rock of Love Bus: Bret Michaels Says Taya Was His "Right Choice"

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 05:00:28 GMT

Another season of Rock of Love has come and gone, Bret's got a new girl, and he believes that she's truly the one for him. We've heard that story before, but it seems as though there's still more to tell. VH1 recently talked to the rock star about what's been going on with him these past days, particularly his relationship with the series winner, Taya Parker.

"I think that I absolutely made the right choice with Taya," Bret admitted. "When you're around her one-on-one, she lets you know that she cares about you and she makes you feel like a man. She'll tell you, "You look great." Being flattered whether you're being played or whether it's sincere, matters."

Rock of Love Bus With Bret Michaels: Reunion Recap (Page 1/2)

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:30:31 GMT

Just when you thought you were done with the Rock of Love Bus, it's reunion show time. Everyone seems to have made it back for the reunion show, including the entirety of the blondtourage and perhaps most excitingly, DJ Lady Tribe. Seeing that this was a season of drama, back-stabbing, shocking decisions, and lots of smack talking, this reunion could definitely be very interesting.

Of course, like most Mindy fans, I'm hoping for a Bret Michaels Bachelor style switcharoo at the reunion. Be a man and admit you chose the wrong lady Bret! Unlike Jason Mesnick, America will love you for doing so. And, double bonus, you'll end up with a woman you might actually have a chance at a real relationship with. Seriously, think about it Bret Michaels.

Tonight, relive the unforgettable season with Bret and the ladies as they sit down and reminisce over the third season of the VH1 reality dating series. While it might seem tame at first, this is Rock of Love we're talking about. Claws have been sharpened and the girls are ready to reveal secrets you never thought you'd hear.

Not only was last night the finale for Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels, it was also the final round for Rock of Love Bus Fantasy TV. While the rest of us were convinced Bret would pick "just Mindy Hall from Cincinnati, Ohio" AiraZ, the winner of the Rock of Love Bus Fantasy TV league, knew better. Since joining the Rock of Love Bus Fantasy TV AiraZ almost batted a 1000 with their choices, including predicting both Ashley and Mindy's shocking eliminations. Thanks to their smart picking, AiraZ beat the nearest competition by 750 points. A big congrats to AriaZ for knowing Bret better than Bret knew himself and for dominating in Fantasy TV.

While AiraZ may be the Taya Parker of Rock of Love Bus Fantasy TV, where did you stand? Here is the top 10 Rock of Love Bus Leaderboard after last night's surprising finale:

'Rock of Love' Winners Update

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 23:00:00 GMT

The first two Rock of Love winners didn't last long, as Bret Michaels ended his relationships with original Rock of Love winner Jes Rickleff and Rock of Love 2 winner Ambre Lake. After those two didn't pan out, Bret Michaels got back on the horse for a third season of the VH1 reality hit with Rock of Love Bus, which puts the show on the road as the women pile into his tour bus and ride across the country with Bret until he finds a new winner.

This week Bret's cross-country tour for love ended and he's chosen his third Rock of Love: Penthouse Pet of the Year, Taya Parker.

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:30:16 GMT

After 12 weeks of criss-crossing the country and 21 girls being eliminated, we are down to the final two on Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels. This go-round Bret managed to look beyond the blonde and the train wrecks, to end up choosing between two fairly normal brunette beauties in the finale: Taya and Mindy. Of course, other than the fact they're not blondes and they've carried themselves with as much class as you can on a show like Rock of Love Bus, Mindy and Taya couldn't be more different. Mindy is a gorgeous girl next door from Cincinnati, Ohio who no one expected to make it this far on tour. Taya is the 2009 Penthouse Pet of the Year and Bret was instantly smitten with her, so it's really no surprise she's made it as far as she has on the road.

Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels: The Pros and Cons of Picking Mindy

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:46:25 GMT

It's down to the final two women on Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels and it's time for Bret to make a big decision. Since his first to forays into finding love on reality TV didn't work out, we've decided to help Bret by making a pro and con list for each of the remaining women vying for his heart. Yesterday, we discussed the pro and cons of picking Taya Parker, while today I'll be tackling the pros and cons of picking Mindy Hall.

While it wasn't love at first sight for Bret and Mindy, they've become seriously smitten with each other as the season progressed. Though Mindy is a bit "normal" to be on the arm of a rock'n'roller like Bret, that's probably the best thing she has going for her. Bret's tried dating models and groupies before to no avail. So if he really is looking for lasting love, it's time for him to settle down with a regular girl...and Mindy just may be that girl.

It's down for the final two women on Rock of Love Bus With Bret Michaels and it's time for Bret Michaels to make a big decision. Since his first two forays into finding love on reality TV weren't successful, we've decided to help Bret out by making a pro and con list for the remaining women vying for his heart. Up first is Penthouse Pet, Taya Parker.

Bret has been smitten with Taya since the moment she dropped her pants and exposed a near perfect derriere during the girls backstage pass photo shoot. And we can see why--what goes better with rock stars than nude models? Save booze and groupies, very little. Of course a lasting relationship has to be built on more than rock'n'roll stereotypes and a perfect butt, so let's explore the pros and cons of picking Taya below.

Rock of Love Bus Girls Check In To VH1's Charm Scool

Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels: Episode 11 Recap (Page 1/2)

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 20:00:00 GMT

It's getting to be big decision time on Rock of Love Bus. Only three girls remain on the road and we're just one episode away from Bret choosing this season's Rock of Love. While many men would envy Bret's situation, having to choose between three beautiful women who want you, Bret Michaels certainly doesn't seem to be enjoying himself. If I only had one word to describe this week's penultimate episode of Rock of Love Bus, it would be: painful. Painfully awkward, painfully boring, painfully dull. Even though there was plenty of drama this episode, it was more like a bad soap opera than a trashy reality show. While it may bode well for Bret's relationship that he's kept around the dullest of the girls, it sure doesn't make for good trashy reality TV.

This week the three remaining girls--Jamie, Mindy, and Taya--are taking their final bus ride to Miami, Florida for some fantasy dates. While everyone seems happy to get off the bus, that seems the only bright spot for the girls. With only one elimination standing between them and the finale, the tension is high, politeness is out the window, and friendships are done. The gloves are off, the manicured claws are out, and the competition is on.

Rock of Love: Daisy's Semi-Nude Photo Creates Controversial Waves

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Daisy De La Hoya, one of the remaining hopefuls vying for Bret Michaels' heart on VH1's Rock of Love 2, is gradually creating buzz on the internet due to a racy photo posted on her MySpace page. The picture shows the 25-year-old reality TV star topless and making an obscene gesture to the camera, while holding a Jack Daniels bottle next to a table that appears have several lines of cocaine.

The Rock of Love 2 contestant maintains, however, that the white cocaine-like substance is just plain flour. Nevertheless, it speaks volumes. It also hasn't stopped several media outlets from criticizing her lack of values. On the other hand, others speculate that this is exactly the reaction the Daisy was hoping for when she posted the picture.
