Was Bret Michael's Love Search A Scam? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 10-14-2007, 10:35 AM

Poison star Bret Michaels' hit new reality dating show, “Rock of Love,” has been exposed as a sham - the girl he picked to date was already in a committed relationship.

The rocker picked Jes Ricklett as his mate in the show's high-rated finale last month, but the pink-and-white haired stylist had no plans of having a real romance with Michaels - she dashed off to be with her boyfriend as soon as taping finished.

And, to make matters worse for Michaels, Ricklett's real man, Chicago-based designer Joe Quade, has started poking fun at the Poison star on his MySpace.com page.

Ricklett says she had no intention of becoming the girlfriend of a faded rock star when she auditioned for the hit show.

She says, "Someone found me and wanted me to audition for the show, so I did. To be honest, I wasn't going on there looking for love. I was kind of like, `Let's see if I could promote myself.' That's pretty much why I did it."

But it's not all bad news for Michaels - the summer show was such a hit on VH1, TV bosses have ordered a second season, during which the Poison star will again be on the look out for love.

Incredible!

A reality show in which the people involved are self promoting liars?

I hope the other reality shows know about this!

I did not watch Rock of Love much but my friend Shantel did I'll tell her about Jess being a kake later she said Jess was her favorite.

That's the risk you gotta take when got a show like those. I got a feeling that the I Love NY thing was fake as well. Most of these shows are fake but entertaining.

I am so positive that the whole New York show is fake. Her mother MISTER PATTERSON, obviously does this whole crap for money. Like mother, like daughter, money grubbing b*tches. Believe me, you'd think anyone would behave in that manner FOR FREE? She is not looking for love, they are both looking for a man with money to take care of their stupid a$$es.

Who cares if it's "real" it's entertaining and thats all I care about.

This has made my afternoon. I at work am sitting outside of trump tower trying to figure out which celebrity on the show that I am working on which happens to be this season's "The Apprentice 7" I am trying to figure out who is being fired. This post along with others is helping me to pass time.
