Bret Michaels, says Was Not Faking on Rock of Love

Bret Michaels Wasn't Faking It on 'Rock of Love'

Rock of Love remains one of the highest-rated shows on VH1. The show's star, Bret Michaels, believes the reality series has been very successful because it has truthfully depicted him and the life he leads. "When you're doing a reality show, you're not an actor," Michaels told the The Post Standard in a phone interview. "I was being me. And I think that was the reason it was the No. 1 (reality-TV) show for three weeks running. People smell that this is a real reality show. My life in the course of a day runs many emotions. I get up in the morning, take my insulin and go. The show became part extreme dating and part survival."On the July premiere of Rock of Love, 25 eligible women were introduced to Bret Michaels. Week after week, the 44-year-old frontman subjected the ladies to different challenges, with the most recent being a photo shoot for an album cover. Now, only five women are left, and Michaels has been very coy about which of the women ultimately captured his heart. "It came down to a bittersweet battle between two I was crazy about," Michaels said. "I have to leave it at that." Although he was tight-lipped about who won the competition, he did say that his two favorite episodes were the ones that featured motocross riding and football. "My two greatest hobbies," Bret Michaels told the The Post Standard. "I have to give the girls this great nod of credit. They were great sports about everything. It's not like they had a stunt double. You ride. Two got hurt pretty bad, unfortunately. It was pretty wild." As Rock of Love nears its season finale, Michaels is busy doing a nationwide tour with his rock band, Poison. Coincidentally, the tour is also about to come to an end, with their final show on September 3 at the HiFi Buys Amphitheater. The tour, which Michaels described as Poison's “biggest production in 21 years,” has been stopping by various cities in the country in order to promote their latest 13-track album, Poison'd, which was released early this summer.

Baby & Season 2 for Scott Baio

Scott Baio is still 45, but will he be single for long? VH-1 is hoping that you'll be curious enough to tune into a second season of "Scott Baio is 45... and Single," the former teen heartthrob's reality show.
At the end of the first season, Baio had proposed to girlfriend Renee. In turn, she dropped the bomb that our dear Chachi (yes, I know he hates that) was going to be a daddy.
Expect season 2 to be filled with fears of marriage and impending fatherhood, which will include Renee's 18-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, says the Hollywood Reporter.
Production on the nine-episode season will begin this fall. There's no word on when the second season might premiere. -- Rachel Cericola

Complete List of 20 Past & Present WWE Wrestlers Listed as Steroid Clients

Complete List Of 20 Past & Present Wrestlers Listed As Signature Clients

To recap, all in all, 20 past and present WWE wrestlers were listed as being clients of the busted Signature Pharmacy in Orlando. Of the 20 listed, 15 of them are currently contracted to WWE.
Three are deceased (Brian Adams, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero), one was recently released (Sylvain Grenier), and another wrestler was on the verge of being signed this week, if he hasn't already (Johnny Stamboli).

While not 100% official, the following ten wrestlers listed appear to be the wrestlers most likely to have been suspended by WWE after Sports Illustrated revealed that every single one of them purchased drugs over the Internet through Signature Pharmacy after the institution of the WWE Wellness Policy in February 2006 - a clear violation of the policy. WWE suspended 10 wrestlers today based upon information received in the Signature bust, though not necessarily these wrestlers.

Here is SI's list again:

Charlie Haas - Purchased drugs as late as January 2007.
Chavo Guerrero - Purchased drugs as late as May 2006.
Edge - Purchased drugs as late as February 2007.
Funaki - Purchased Somatropin in March 2006.
Gregory Helms - Purchased drugs as late as February 2007.
John Morrison - Purchased five different drugs as late as February 2007 .
Mr. Kennedy - Purchased three drugs between October 2006 and February 2007, including testosterone, which is an anabolic steroid. Kennedy sternly claimed in a recent interview entitled 'WWE Stopped My Steroid Use' that he completely stopped doing steroids as soon as the WWE Wellness Policy was implemented. You can read the interview at this link.
Randy Orton - Purchased drugs as late as February 2007.
Umaga - Purchased Somatropin as late as December 2006.
William Regal - Purchased drugs as late as November 2006.

Of the ten listed, two currently hold WWE Championship belts, two more are involved in a major storyline, four more are active performers, and two are out indefinitely due to injury.

The following five WWE wrestlers were listed as being clients of the Signature Pharmacy as well, but their names didn't turn up on Sports Illustrated's list. It should be noted that Anthony Carelli aka Santino Marella didn't sign a contract with WWE until 2006, and the WWE Wellness Policy was implemented early that year, so it would be wise to assume that the following wrestlers haven't been totally cleared yet in regards to a possible suspension just because their names weren't listed in the Sports Illustrated article:
Batista
Chris Masters
King Booker
Santino Marella
Simon Dean
The following five wrestlers are no longer contracted to WWE. Three are deceased, one was recently released, and Stamboli's WWE status is unclear at the moment.
Brian Adams
Chris Benoit
Eddie Guerrero
Johnny Stamboli
Sylvain Grenier

What a shame, It took the death of a family to make the WWE do something. I guess we should be thankful that more wrestlers are not dead. I think that Mark Mero deserves some of the credit here, he has been trying to blow the whistle on this issue for years. No one would listen to him, I bet they feel really stupid right now.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers ADOPTIVE Father a Pedophile

THE adoptive “father” of Bend It Like Beckham star Jonathan Rhys-Meyers sexually abused a 15-year-old boy, a court heard yesterday.
Christopher Croft, 66, allegedly attacked Nasser Ben Hassine after drugging his lemonade, leaving him unconscious.
Nasser, now 18, claimed the abuse started in 2004 at Croft’s home in Taghazoute, Morocco, and went on for 18 months.
Three other witnesses — including a German neighbour who reported Croft to a child protection group — claim they often saw him taking kids into his house. One said he saw him nude on his bed with kids.
Croft, who has denied the accusations since his arrest, was remanded in custody by the court in Agadir.
Rhys-Meyers, 30, who also starred in Mission Impossible III, moved in with Croft in Ireland when he was 16 and lived with him for a few years.

Johnny Depp Kennels His Dangerous Dogs

Johnny Depp kennels dangerous dogs

NEW YORK: Veteran Hollywood actor Johnny Depp kennels his two aggressive Rottweilers at a California pet club because he cannot take the risk of having them around his young kids. The movie star pays hefty fees at the Crossroads Country Club Pet Resort to house his pets, contactmusic.com reported. "Johnny can't bring himself to have them put down, so he pays $2,000-a-month on each dog for them to be kept in a kennel," a source was quoted as saying.

Burton told to Brutally Slash Sweeney Todd

A cut-above- Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd in latest film

Award-winning director Tim Burton has been told to butcher his own film, in which Johnny Depp plays the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd.
Studio executives became a tad squeamish when they viewed grisly footage of blood splashing across the set as Depp slits the throats of his customers in the movie, based on Stephen Sondheim's stage musical.
In its present form the film would merit an 18 rating, but Warner Brothers would prefer it to have a 15.
During filming at Pinewood studios, prosthetic lookalike limbs were used (obviously the real thing would have been taking realism too far!) and they were so gruesomely lifelike that some of the crew became nauseous and had to take fresh air breaks.

Those on set were further spooked because there were piles and piles of sliced-up 'corpses', plus several spare 'necks' in case Burton wanted to shoot several takes of the same throat-cutting scene.
Four crew, stationed out of camera range, would pump up blood as Johnny/Todd slashed away, singing as he worked.
In the movie, Todd's victims are sat in a mechanical chair, their throats are cut and as Johnny flicks a switch, the floor opens and they slide down a chute into the lair of Todd's mistress, Mrs Lovett (the pie maker) played by Helena Bonham Carter.
Mrs Lovett uses Todd's 'gifts' to fill her meat pies!
One scene that particularly bothered the studio bosses was when they saw a ten-year-old boy cutting up body parts, which were then thrown into a meat grinder and turned into mince.
"Tim's not happy that the studio is asking for so many cuts to the cutting, as it were," someone connected to the film told me.
"The thing is, the studio really likes the film and they want to make it accessible to as big an audience as possible - which means stemming the blood flow. But that's a bit difficult for a story involving a guy who gets high slitting throats."
The movie also features Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, Sacha Baron Cohen, Laura Michelle Kelly and Peter Bowles.
It opens in the U.S. in December, which led Burton to quip recently: "Red is the color at Christmas."

Nick Hogan, Speed Racer or Idiot You Decide?

From TMZ website:

TMZ has obtained three traffic citations Nick Hogan received in the last year -- and he's only had a license for one year ... AND that doesn't even include this week's crash. Go speed racer, go! In the first incident, on Sept. 17, 2006, Nick was pulled over for doing 115 mph in a 70 mph zone. That's not even close! He completed traffic school for that one. For his second offense, Hogan (real name Nicholas Allan Bollea) was clocked doing 57 in a 30. Ha, child's play! And for his third bust, the little Hulkster was clocked doing 106 in a 70. Apparently, he never learned.
