RICHIE SAMBORA TAKING OVER ROCK OF LOVE FROM BRET MICHAELS

 Thursday, May 1st, 2008 at 11:06am by

Yes, you read that headline correctly: There will be a third season of Rock of Love, and it will star the Bon Jovi guitarist in place of the Poison vocalist.

I somehow find this news troubling; I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m almost certainly gonna watch, but I had no idea that Sambora was as big a scumbag as Michaels. Isn’t this really the kind of thing more fit for, I dunno, like a Vince Neil or a Kip Winger or at least a Jani Lane? I mean, wasn’t Sambora married to Heather Locklear not that long ago? Wasn’t he just shtupping Denise Richards like a year ago? Doesn’t he already get all the tabloid attention he can handle? Or has the weight of living in Jon Bon’s shadow all these years really just proven to be too much for him?

No word on when this car wreck will film/air, but here’s hoping it will be on VH1 in time for the TV doldrums of summer.

UPDATE: Idolator says that VH1 says that this isn’t true. So there’s still hope for Jani Lane after all!!!

    My question is, what prompted Bret Michaels to quit? Was having 13 strippers fight over him too much? Was it taking away from the artistic legacy of Poison?

    When will Logo have the gay version with the singer from the B-52s? Or Brett Michaels, seeing as how he never dated any of the two dozen hot bimbos clawing each other to be with him?

    Ok, did Bret not stay with Ambre??? I missed the reunion.

    Rock of Love will never be the same without Bret and certainly will never get the publicity it had with him as the Star. The man is a GOD to say th least. Hes what ROCK is, hes the poster child for it, and there is noone out there in rock n roll more sexier than he is.They can try with whoever they want to put on there, unless its someone else from POISON, and they can never match it.

    Ambre won the second season of rock of love. And i think bret should move on to the third season. Because Ambre didn’t deserve to win. Daisy did! Now Ambre thinks she is everything just cause she won a show! Its pathetic!

  • brenda

    there should be rock of love three because i think daisy or chrissy should have won not the girl who did

  • janet

    I am 45 yr old rn. I would like tto be on that episode. My kids arrre ssag meeeembers not me but i could fake it!

  • Brandii

    MMMM.. Isn’t there a point when you’re too old to go onto a reality show where you “look for love”??

  • Janice

    NEWS JUST IN!!!!! VH1 has just released that there IS a Rock of Love 3……WITH BRET MICHAELS!! It’ll be on his tour bus (Rock of Love Bus).

    Get your facts straight before trying to be the first to announce something!

  • Aussie bird

    Daisy was weird she was all plastic! Who lives and sleeps in a bed wit there ex! Ambre was like a cheerleader on crack. Bring heather back luv that chick. What you see is what you get with her. LOVE IT! but honestly obviously the show to find love isn’t working so maybe you should just give up try myspace even!

    I began watching Rock of Love for the pure comedy of it all. Many wannabe barbie dolls (yes, Barbie’s come in a variety of flavors) jumping fiery hoops (could the ratio of excessive hairspray, mousse & gel comically ample, silicone-enhanced breast implants = 100% combustion?) for the affections of an aged yet handsome Ringmaster, seemed like a ridiculously intriguing premise. Both seasons proved to be ‘Big Top’ worthy for purely entertaining the audience with its comic relief, but Season 3 has lost its joy-buzzer antics and sadly, has evolved into a skid-row-on-wheels disenchantment. Bret Michaels appears to be dissatisfied with this season’s ‘contestants’ and traveling side show (Big John is left with the difficult task of trying to turn lead into gold here for his boss/friend, to no avail.), and seems to have lost interest after only the first episode, immersing himself into a righteous tally sheet of conquests, topped only by his invigorated renewal of what matters most, his Love of Music! With a seductive voice rich in timber, Poison’s lead vocalist should concentrate on reinventing his faultering image by ditching the extentions (we’ll still love ya without them), VH1 show, and the plastic, artificially-enhanced circus performers. If you’re truly interested in finding Ms. Right, look beyond the shallow part of the ocean; for past the roll of sea and sky, lie wonders to beheld in the quietude of sunrise and set, and there, you will find happiness.
