'CELEBRITY APPRENTICE' WINNER BRET MICHAELS TO PERFORM ON NBC'S 'AMERICA'S GOT TALENT' WED 8/4 -- Posted by Patrick on Thursday, July 29 2010

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – July 29, 2010 – Rocker and winner of NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice,” Bret Michaels, and hit-making Mercury Recording artist Taio Cruz from the U.K. will perform on the next live results show of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” on Wednesday, August 4 (9-10 p.m. ET)

On last night’s show, Debra Romer, Studio One Young Beast Society, Haspop and Jeremy Vanschoonhoven made it through to the semi-finals, which begin on Tuesday, August 24 (9-11 p.m. ET)

Michaels, winner of this past season’s “The Celebrity Apprentice” will perform his signature song “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” on Wednesday, August 4, which Miley Cyrus recently re-recorded for her new album. Michaels’ “Rock of Love” television series is one of the most successful in VH1’s history. With three record breaking seasons under his belt, Michaels is currently embarking on several other television projects, including the upcoming VH1 show “Bret Michaels: Life as You Know It” this fall.

As front man for the legendary rock band Poison, Michaels has sold 25 million records and scored an amazing 15 chartbusting Top 40 singles, including “Talk Dirty to Me,” “Something to Believe In,” “Nothing But a Good Time” and the timeless #1 smash “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” In the new millennium Poison’s music has been featured in such big screen flicks as “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Grandma’s Boy” and “Deuce Bigelow-European Gigolo.” They continue to be one of the industry’s top-grossing concert attractions and their “20 Years of Rock” CD was a bona fide Top 20 smash. Michaels’ new CD “Custom Built” is in stores now and is the #1 independent and hard rock album on Billboard.

Cruz, 25, is an accomplished multi-instrumental musician whose multi-platinum debut single “Break Your Heart” (featuring Ludacris) has exploded into the record books at #1 and scored the Billboard Hot 100’s biggest one-week jump to #1 (from #53) by any New Artist’s debut single in the chart’s history. Cruz’s second single, “Dynamite”, which he’ll perform on “America’s Got Talent,” is proving to be the summer anthem, is currently #2 on the Itunes singles overall chart, #1 on the Itunes singles pop chart, and has just gone platinum, selling over one million copies.....In less than two years, Cruz has become the go-to producer and songwriter for an A-list of American and U.K. performers such as Alexandra Burke, Leona Lewis, Shayne Ward, Britney Spears and Brandy. The year climaxed at the MOBO Awards with a Best Single nomination for “She's Like a Star,” where Cruz performed with Sugababes. The son of a Nigerian father and Brazilian mother, Cruz is the founder and CEO of his own Rokstarr Entertainment Division (R.E.D.), formerly known as Rokstarr Music London, established in 2006. Cruz’s U.S. debut album, ROKSTARR, is out now.

TUNE IN ALERT: BRET MICHAELS ON ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, JULY 8TH. -- Posted by Patrick on Thursday, July 8 2010

BRET MICHAELS ON BEING BACK ON THE ROAD: “I WOULDN’T DO IT IF I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE”

July 8, 2010 (Los Angeles, CA)— ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT's SAMANTHA HARRIS sat down with rocker and "Celebrity Apprentice" winner Bret Michaels yesterday in his Los Angeles recording studio, for an exclusive new interview to air tonight, July 8th.

Just two-and-a-half months ago Bret suffered a brain hemorrhage, followed by what was called a "warning stroke." On his incredible recovery, Bret says, "It happened, I didn't die from it. That's the bottom line, I didn't die from it. I love being out of the hospital. After you spend literally what was almost a month and half in two different -- technically three different ICU units -- I was done. I was like, 'I need to get out of here.’ It becomes extremely depressing, and what gets me up and going out there is making music and being around my family and friends. That's an awesome feeling."

Last month on "Good Morning America," he joined Miley Cyrus for a performance. On their pairing creating some controversy, he says, "Miley and her family -- Tish and Billy Ray and all of them -- they've all been friends for a while. They've been out to our shows and my daughters have been to her shows... [Miley] came in and sang a really, really awesome harmony. And it caused amazing controversy out of nothing.” Bret says his own daughters, meanwhile, were "extremely excited" to hear his collaboration with Miley.

Now he has a brand-new album out, Custom Built. Does he think he pushed himself to get back on the road too soon? "I'll be honest with you. I took every precaution. I wouldn't do it if I thought I was going to die.

I fought too hard to live.” He goes on to say, "I want to show people I'm healthy. I feel great. I'm thankful for all the well wishes and everything that came my way, but let's get back to having a great time. Let's get back to rockin' again."

BRET MICHAELS DOCTORS PUT TO REST MEDICAL CONDITION SPECULATION -- Posted by Patrick on Wednesday, July 7 2010

BRET MICHAELS DOCTORS PUT TO REST ANY SPECULATION THAT HIS RECENT BRAIN HEMORRHAGE AND APPENDECTOMY WEREN’T SERIOUS, REAL OR LIFE THREATENING

Recently there have been a few erroneous, false and irresponsible statements spread on the internet and one news station that Bret Michaels medical condition wasn’t serious, real or life threatening. Dr. Joseph Zabramski, MD, Bret’s neurosurgeon at Barrow Neurological Institute states, “The fact is, the subarachnoid hemorrhage that Mr. Michaels suffered was very real, and very serious as was the T.I.A (warning stroke) and P.F.O., which will be operated on later this year. A subarachnoid hemorrhage is a life-threatening, neurosurgical emergency that requires an extensive work up and management in the ICU to prevent re-bleeding and manage the complications associated with the initial hemorrhage. For anyone to speculate that this was not a life threatening medical emergency is absolutely incorrect. Between 15 and 20 percent of patients die as a result of the initial hemorrhage, and only approximately 50 percent of those that survive have a good outcome. Recovery from subarachnoid hemorrhage is determined primarily by the size of the initial bleeding episode. Mr. Michaels quick reaction to the hemorrhage and immediate medical attention that followed aided in his ability to make a strong recovery and stop the brain hemorrhage before it caused severe and permanent brain damage. Mr. Michaels is fortunate to be alive after all that he has been through. Bret is truly one of the most determined individuals I have ever met when it comes to an attempt at making a full recovery.

Dr. Greg Gonzaba, whose team treated Michaels for the appendicitis in San Antonio. states “When I arrived I found Mr. Michaels to be acutely distressed, upon my examination I concluded he was suffering from an “acute abdomen”, a medical diagnosis suspicious for a serious, potentially fatal abdominal problem, such as appendicitis, cholecystitis or possible diverticulitis. These conditions, if left untreated could escalate to a potentially fatal problem such as organ rupture, sepsis/toxicity and eventually death by overwhelming infection not to mention Mr. Michaels is a diabetic which could complicate the condition. For a news source to assume and state his condition was not serious is completely false and irresponsible.”

In recent months Bret Michaels’ health issues and determination to recover and continue touring have been viewed as both inspirational by some and as potentially jeopardizing to his health by others. Michaels, a lifelong type 1 diabetic, had an emergency appendectomy, a brain hemorrhage, a T.I.A (warning stroke) and was diagnosed with a P.F.O (hole in his heart). This domino effect happened over the course of a month and a half. Although Michaels is not 100% yet his fight to recover both physically and mentally combined with continued lab work including blood tests MRI’s and physical’s, 4 daily insulin injections along with 2 daily Lovenox injections to thin the blood will be continued until he is able to have the operation on his heart in the fall “

Janna Elias V.P. of Michaels Entertainment states “All people heal differently and while Bret may be out on the road and performing he is still not 100%. He still has pain from the chemical meningitis, short term memory loss and gets fatigued quicker than normal. Bret isn’t by any means trying to put his health in jeopardy by being on the road. He simply feels that music is a powerful healer. For Bret to sit around and not live his life to the fullest would likely be more detrimental to his recovery then playing music, it is the same mind set as the lyrics to Tim McGraw’s song “Live like you were Dying.””
