Culture: More heartwarming celebrity news: Bret Michaels hired by Trump

  • Lately it seems like me just standing up is risking my life.
  • “Celebrity Apprentice” winner Bret Michaels • In response to a question posed by Donald Trump: “Are you risking your life being here? This is a lot of pressure.” Michaels not only stood up to the pressure but he won the entire thing. He flew from New York to Los Angeles despite the advice of doctors. But it was worth it. source

Culture: An open letter to Bret Michaels’ body on recent events

  • Dear immune system and major organs, please don’t kill Bret Michaels. He’s a perfectly good example of what a hair-rocker should be at his age – well-loved (especially on VH1 reality shows) and respected more now than he was during the height of his success. First it was his appendix. Then it was a brain hemorrhage. Now it’s a hole in his heart and a “warning” stroke. Can’t you just let this guy grow old without hitting him with three major health scares in a month? Seriously. Back off for 30 years or so. source

Culture: Bret Michaels realizes he’s a lucky bastard, plans to live that way

  • As painful as this experience has been, I was given a second chance, right? I don’t want to sit around every night worrying this is going to happen again.
  • Poison lead singer (and lucky bastard) Bret Michaels • Regarding his brain hemorrhage, an experience which nearly left him dead. As it is, he suffered short-term memory loss but is expected to make a full recovery. Given a second chance, he plans to take full advantage of it. “What I want to do is make a positive bucket list and say ‘I’m just gonna go for it,'” he said. Our take? It’s kind of like an inversion of the philosophy behind “Every Rose Has its Thorn.” Every thorn is attached to a rose. Bret Michaels seems to have taken this to heart. source

Culture: A little more on Bret Michaels’ condition; it’s not good

  • The Poison singer has a subarachnoid hemorrhage. What’s that, you ask? Well, it’s bleeding in the area between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain (his is at the base of the brain stem). It starts out with a huge headache, usually, and is brought on by a number of risk factors. It can also be the result of injury, so the “Rock of Love” star’s fall at the Tonys is still on the table. Unfortunately, the risk of death in this case is very high, even after treatment. We feel bad for the guy and hope he pulls through. source

Culture: Remember Bret Michaels at the Tonys? Not sayin’, just sayin’.

  • Look, we don’t know the full story yet. But the tumble that Michaels took here at the Tonys is exactly the kind of thing, if he fell the wrong way, that might cause something like a hemorrhage to the brain in the long term. He also had an emergency appendectomy just a week ago. And diabetes. And he’s a hair-metal rocker known for his hard-partying ways. In other words, dude has an insane medical history. We hope he’s OK. We’re pulling for you, man. source

All of these stars have had work done on their faces. Julius has been considering a facelift too. Too bad he’s made of metal. source

Culture: We don’t care about the Tony Awards or Bret Michaels. So we love this.

  • In a classic TV moment, Bret Michaels was injured by the Tony Awards. OK, we don’t like following the ins and outs of theatre’s biggest night, nor do we think Poison has a place on any stage – not even the Tony Awards. So it was great to watch how a set piece came crashing down on Bret Michaels, breaking his nose and cutting his lip. Which, according to the YouTube video, was way less than he should’ve gotten from that. source
