Bret Michaels and Donald Trump to Team Up for Reality Show?

They worked together on Celebrity Apprentice, with Bret Michaels taking home the grand prize.

Now, sources tell The New York Post that this rocker and Donald Trump may team up for another reality TV experience: Something To Believe In, which woud feature Michaels traveling across the country and assisting those under adverse conditions.

The former Poison frontman, who used to be known as a walking STD, has become a source for inspiration after overcoming a brain hemorrhage last year and undergoing heart surgery in January.

A rep for The Donald told the newspaper that Trump "thinks Bret is a wonderful guy" and would "consider" another realty program with the star.

Bret Michales Files Lawsuit Against the Tony Awards

It's one of the funniest videos on record. But, to Bret Michaels, what happened in June 2009 is no laughing matter.

The rocker took to the Tony Awards' stage two years ago, sang alongside the Rock of Ages cast - and then knocked himself silly against a piece of scenery. Relive the dangerous/unfortunate/hilarious incident below:

Yesterday, Michaels filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Tony Award Productions, CBS and others for unspecified damages, claiming producers failed to instruct him how to properly exit the stage following this performance.

Bret was treated for a broken nose and cut lip at the scene, and the suit says his brain injury months later was due to this mishap. Reads the document:

"One of the most common causes of this type of hemorrhage is head trauma - exactly like the one Michaels suffered at the hands of the Tony Awards."

Bret Michaels to Release Miley Cyrus Duet

We haven't heard the last from Brett Michaels and Miley Cyrus.

The artists recorded a duet of Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" last year, only for the release of it to be suspended because rumors of an affair between Bret and Miley's mother, Tish, flooded the Internet.

Both parties denied the story.

Now, the same week Billy Ray called off his divorce from Tish, Michaels has announced his plan to eventually release the single, even citing the rumored affair as the basis for its delay:

"The record label was supposed have to this huge humongous release of 'Every Rose.' It was going to be Miley's next-step song, but because of that, they stepped back."

Look for this rendition of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" to be available for download this summer.

Another Health Scare for Bret Michaels

Bret Michaels is okay. Let's get that important piece of information out there.

But the rocker did undergo yet another health scare last week, suffering through a massive drop in blood pressure in the days following his recent heart surgery. The cause was quickly determined, however, and Michaels is "fine," reports Dr. Mansour Assar.

"It's always good for patients to be evaluated when they're not feeling well," he says.

Four days after a procedure to repair a hole in his heart, the rocker's blood pressure plunged. Tests revealed the issues was related to dehydration and exhaustion, more likely a result of his diabetes than the operation.

Michaels is resting comfortably at home in Arizona and excited for Super Bowl XLV. He's a Pennsylvania native and Steelers fan.

Last month, it was officially stolen by long-time girlfriend Kristi Gibson, who agreed to marry the reality show champion/rocker.

Bret Michaels on Engagement to Kristi Gibson: It Feels Awesome!

It seems like only a few months ago that Bret Michaels was a walking STD who may have slept with Tish Cyrus.

But the rocker reversed his image via his reality show finale on Monday night, proposing to the mother of his children, Kristi Gibson.

"It feels awesome," Michaels told People of the engagement. "When Kristi said, 'I don't need this ring, I don't need the piece of paper, I love you no matter what,' she took the pressure off."

Gibson turns 40 on Christmas Day and has been with Bret through the ups, downs and brain aneurysms.

"I love him for him," she told the magazine. "This is the best birthday and Christmas present ever. We'll be virgins stepping into the whole engagement and marriage thing. And with our girls growing up, we'll all have the same last name."

Gibson added that she doesn't want a big wedding and the pair may jet off to a tropical island in order to tie the knot.

Bret proposed to Kristi - where else - on the finale of Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It on VH1. Gibson is the mother of his daughters Raine, 10, and Jorja, 5.

Bret Michaels and Kristi Gibson are engaged! Congratulations!

Gibson and their daughters stayed by Bret Michaels' side earlier this year when he suffered a terrifying brain hemorrhage and then a subsequent stroke.

"She's the one who put up with me all these years," Bret, who hinted this summer that he might finally put a ring on it, told Us Magazine of Kristi.

Immediately after Gibson accepted his proposal, he broke the happy news to the girls: "[I told them] 'I did it! We'll all be together forever! Family hug!'"

Bret Michaels Repeats: I Did Not Do Tish Cyrus!

Bret Michaels Denies Doing Tish Cyrus

Bret Michaels has had sex with many, many, many, many, many, many women.

But he's adamant in this stance: Tish Cyrus is NOT one of them.

The rocker woke up today to allegations that he broke up Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus by having an affair with Miley's mom, a charge he denies. This is what the singer's rep had to say in response to the rumor:

"The reports of my client having an affair with Tish are completely unfounded and a complete fabrication.

"Bret has been a close friend of the family for some time and has worked with Miley. It's unfortunate that the sad breakup of Billy Ray and Tish has to be further tainted with these lies being reported."

Do you believe this story? Do you think Bret Michaels slept with Tish Cyrus?

Yes, he's a total dog!
No, this is tabloid nonsense!
