Bret Michaels Wins Celebrity Apprentice!
Bret Michaels has done it, he has won “Celebrity Apprentice”!
After suffering a brain hemorrhage and a “warning stroke”, he decided to still attend the finale of the show in support of his charity the American Diabetes Association.
Mr. Trump asked, “Are you risking your life being here? This is a lot of pressure.” About Bret’s doctors, Mr. Trump shared “they didn’t want you to be here tonight. At all. Believe me, not at all.”
“Lately it seems like me just standing up is risking my life,” Bret said, garnering laughs from the audience. He flew to New York from Los Angeles for the finale.
Both finalists, Bret Michaels and Holly Robinson Peete won $250,000 for their charities as Snapple decided to match Mr. Trump’s prize money of $250,000.
On Bret Michael’s health, a spokeswoman on her website says: “No doubt these recent medical complications have been tough but he wants to continue to live his life, enjoy every day and get back on the road,” “He is taking all the medications and steps to insure that he can do that.As his friends and staff we are all making sure that he is not taking any undo risks and we are certainly taking every precaution possible to insure his health and well being.”
At the end of the show Donald Trump looked at Bret and looked like he was going to fire him, but instead said — “you’re hired,”. I have to say that was a great relief to hear, he was truly the underdog from the beginning of the show, and I am glad to see that he won. He’s extremely creative, a great project leader, and really knows how to treat people with kindness and fairness.
Soon we will see Bret on TV again, first in a series of interviews to celebrate his “Celebrity Apprentice” victory.Next week Sunday he will preview his new reality show “Bret Michaels: Life As I know It,” which is due to launch in fall. However, production has been put on hold due to Bret’s health issues. Bret is also due to release a new album next month.

Prince is Cool, Classy, Inspirational
Drfunkenberry reported yesterday that music legend, Prince, made a surprise visit to First Avenue in Minneapolis. Don’t forget that this is where “Purple Rain” was shot nearly 26 years ago, so whenever Prince comes by I don’t have to tell you what an incredible experience that must be. A local band called GAYNGS was performing that night and at the same time Prince was seen backstage ready to perform. It wasn’t planned and he even brought his own guitar, but he changed his mind clearly just before going onstage and said “They Don’t Nee Me”. Unbelievable isn’t it? A legend like Prince giving so much respect to a local band, that he decided not to steal the spotlight.
I do have to say that yes they do need him, but it is great to see how much respect he shows to other bands. The crowd that was at First Avenue last Friday must have really been bummed out after hearing that Prince was just about to appear on stage! Well you never know, he might just pop by again sometime soon.
