BRET MICHAELS Says His Upcoming Reality TV Show On VH1 Is 'Music-Driven'

June 11, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: POISON lead singer Bret Michaels is seemingly everywhere these days, with the recently released "Poison'd" — which features the band's interpretations of such classic tracks as ALICE COOPER's "I Never Cry" and THE ROLLING STONES' "Dead Flowers" — available in record stores; a 55-date POISON summer tour; his own VH1 reality TV show "Rock of Love With Bret Michaels" premiering July 15; and a solo album due this fall on VH1 Records. He is also working on a movie and plans a solo tour in October.

He told Reuters that he had several prerequisites for the show, beginning with his ability to play his own solo music. "I had to do everything unscripted," he said, "(and) I did not want (the girls) to be told who I was. And I told them the show could not be shot in my house... it was a great chance to really expose my music. If this show wasn't music-driven, I don't think I would have done it."

"Poison'd" features the production of Don Was.

The tentative title for his next production with Sheen/Michaels Entertainment, his company with Charlie Sheen, is "Between A Rose And A Thorn". Michaels plans to work on the autobiographical film this summer — in between tour dates, presumably. "If (I) could take the humor of 'Spinal Tap' and the emotion of a movie like 'Ray' and combine it, I would make a dramedy."
