This show is much less interesting without Rodeo around.

my bf's friend saw bret michaels at a premiere party and drunkenly went up to him and told him how much she loved poison as a teen. instead of thanking her, he leaned over and tried to french her.

She is like the modern version of Gray Gardens, I just love her.

my wife met Bret Michaels once - cleaned his hotel room. He was late checking out and left behind a bag of weed (which she took and smoked). This was during the summer of '92, she was working as a cleaning lady in San Diego. She said he answered the door in speedos, a t-shirt, and a bandana and had some bimbo with him.

I wonder if he sleeps in the bandanna.

MEDIOCRACY

lauren i am impressed by your commitment
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 27 August 2007 02:06 (sixteen years ago) link
it's just that i'm very opposed to mediocracy. like bret is.
― lauren, Monday, 27 August 2007 02:09 (sixteen years ago) link
He totally just kept Lacey for the ratings, you could totally tell.

Hey, there is an article in today's NYT about this show. It's pretty funny. I'd provide the link, but I think it's password-protected or whatever. Sorry. Use bugmenot.com or whatever if it still exists. Or, just register; I think it's pretty worthwhile if you don't live in NYC/are too poor to buy the paper or whatever. I won't insult your intelligences further; it's easy enough to find in the style section.
God Bless.
heh.

oh my god, I am starting to creep even myself out. Note to self: No more "heh." stuck at the end of a post.

Um, God Bless.

Sample passage:
VH1’s “Rock of Love With Bret Michaels” is carnival sludge: a nauseating paste of fried dough, cigarette ash, salt and grain alcohol. The rococo pageantry and high spirits of “Flavor of Love,” the channel’s seminal reality dating competition, starring the hype man Flavor Flav, have gone missing from this, the rock version.
This series has trudged along like a heartbroken drunk since July 15, featuring the former Poison frontman Bret Michaels as the bachelor. New episodes appear on Sundays. Reruns appear always.
The well-meaning has-been Bret is surrounded with women who are too young, too frantic or too high to know that being easy isn’t funny in itself. These women drink large quantities of booze, caress Bret in groups of three and flaunt their skills at phone sex on national television. Many of them seem dangerously unwell, discolored, surgically altered, physically unbalanced and worryingly mood-disordered...

Uh, slate that. The article's not so much funny as it is disturbing. Sorry, I non-posted the link after only reading the first three paragraphs.
― dell, Monday, 27 August 2007 10:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay, it's actually funny and disturbing. Just. like. life. I surpose.
― dell, Monday, 27 August 2007 10:53 (sixteen years ago) link
his Reagan-era persona
Bret Michaels=Ferris Bueller=Alex P. Keaton?
No matter how you slice it, kill me now. SRSLY. OK. Go.d
― dell, Monday, 27 August 2007 11:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Please. Bring Death swiftly. I am not mature enough to deal with the other human beings' craziness. My own is sufficient, thanks.
― dell, Monday, 27 August 2007 11:11 (sixteen years ago) link
Heather is going to win this right? I think the drunken parents sealed the deal.
What is Jes doing there again?
― sunny successor, Thursday, 20 September 2007 13:34 (sixteen years ago) link
if he does pick Jes,there is no way she stays with him.
― carne asada, Thursday, 20 September 2007 13:38 (sixteen years ago) link
lacey's dad: "is there any hair under there?"
― sunny successor, Thursday, 20 September 2007 13:40 (sixteen years ago) link
is there? i want to see what's under that
― carne asada, Thursday, 20 September 2007 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link
me too!
does heather not know jes also boffed brett? she was shouting that lacey was the only one who had done 'all the sex stuff' with him.
― sunny successor, Thursday, 20 September 2007 13:47 (sixteen years ago) link
'boffed'
sorry
re: the hair comment, i was so happy that lacey's father said what millions of viewers have been thinking. however, men who wear short-sleeved orange turtlenecks have no quarter to criticize the fashion choices of others. i didn't even know that turtlenecks with short sleeves existed!
― lauren, Thursday, 20 September 2007 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link
lauren, you'll need to sign a prenup before you can get access to short sleeved turtlenecks.
― sunny successor, Thursday, 20 September 2007 13:57 (sixteen years ago) link
she is from dallas - everything is illuminated
i don't see any reason to presume that heather will win
― gabbneb, Thursday, 20 September 2007 14:00 (sixteen years ago) link
haha! really, that whole thing explained a lot about lacey.
xpost
re: heather, i think that she was gunning for lacey in the heat of the moment and didn't think to bring jes into it. she's not the wide-angle manipulator that lacey was, and also she's just not as vicious. oh, and she's kind of stupid and in denial. let's not forget that! i wouldn't be surprised if she thinks that nothing major happened between brett and jes.
― lauren, Thursday, 20 September 2007 14:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Heathers father was the best. He was all over that free booze
― carne asada, Thursday, 20 September 2007 14:03 (sixteen years ago) link
southern ohio, y'all.
― lauren, Thursday, 20 September 2007 14:05 (sixteen years ago) link
wonder how long he and jes will stay together.
― lauren, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:18 (sixteen years ago) link
poor girl
― chaki, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:19 (sixteen years ago) link
i didn't like heather, but i feel pretty bad for her. her choice and all to do this, i know, but...
― lauren, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I didn't like Heather, but by the end I felt like she and Brett were made for each other. Jess is gonna dump his diabetic ass within a week.
Brett pulled some Solomon level stuff there at the end with that question!
― dan selzer, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I think the moral of the story is "don't get a random guy's name tattooed on the back of your neck".
― HI DERE, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Heather= New york Jes= Hoops
― carne asada, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Isn't Lacey more like New York than Heather is?
― HI DERE, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, maybe so. I think either heather or lacey would have probably stayed with bret. but there is no way jes stays with him
― carne asada, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:40 (sixteen years ago) link
"stays with him" ha - I can't believe you guys actually think this show has any bearing on the stars' daily lives. This is all just for show, kids.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:41 (sixteen years ago) link
it is?
― carne asada, Monday, 1 October 2007 16:42 (sixteen years ago) link
That tattoo wasn't just for show. Nor was Brett's stink on Heather while Jes was trying to eat breakfast. No way, this is the real deal.
― dan selzer, Monday, 1 October 2007 17:00 (sixteen years ago) link
are you joking?
― chaki, Monday, 1 October 2007 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link
You can never be too serious about breakfast stink.
― HI DERE, Monday, 1 October 2007 17:06 (sixteen years ago) link
thanks, shakey - i had no idea that this might be staged or set up in any way! next you're going to tell me that milli vanilli didn't actually sing their hits!
did jes say "rotten pussy" in the interview clip aired immediately after that scene?
― lauren, Monday, 1 October 2007 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
yes. lol.
― chaki, Monday, 1 October 2007 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link
there was some serious lol-ing in our house at that moment.
― lauren, Monday, 1 October 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
I loved when Jes is like "i'm not goint to think about it" and while she's kissing Bret you just see the memory/thought balloons of Heather "just think where his mouth has been..."
― dan selzer, Monday, 1 October 2007 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link
anyone watch the reunion show? jes didn't last long
― akm, Monday, 8 October 2007 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link

― chaki, Monday, 8 October 2007 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link
i missed it due to baseball. what's the scoop?
