Rock Of Love

At What Point Does The Fake Announcement For “Rock Of Love: Danzig” Cross The Line From Plausible To “Too Crazy Even For VH1”?

Last month, some yukster decided to post to the message board VH1 had set up for Rock Of Love discussion about a new version of the show, this one featuring pint-sized black arts aficionado Glenn Danzig. See if you can figure out where I finally called bullshit on the whole thing after the jump!

A letter from VH1 lands in the mailbag: “There is no truth to the rumor that Richie Sambora will participate in Rock of Love.” Aw, nuts. On the bright side, this opens up the field to any number of Rocklahoma-playing band members. (Heh, heh, I said “members.” More »

AP080326049600.jpg Richie Sambora should be visiting Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab, but it looks like he’ll be hitting up a dozen floozies for the love and support that Heather Locklear and Denise Richards couldn’t provide instead. Yes, that’s right: The Bon Jovi guitarist will allegedly replace Bret Michaels for season three of Rock Of Love. The bandanna-wearing Poison frontman claims that he’s really found love with season two winner Ambre Lake, which means that his schedule is clear for him to turn his attentions to Look What The Cat Dragged In, a sitcom on MyNetwork TV about a party-hearty rocker who moves in with his uptight lawyer brother in Beverly Hills, played by Alan Ruck. Well, at least I’m hoping that happens.

rol_1stlook.jpgRock of Love, VH1’s latest attempt to create an emotional equivalent to the Faces of Death series, consists of once and future Poison lead singer Bret Michaels and the women competing for his affections. It’s the rock remix of and follow-up to Flavor of Love, on which Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav tried to find someone to marry, sorta. But the genre switch has also changed something about the ladies participating (well, in addition to the racial inversion): this time, there are groupies, and there are rockers.

“Rock Of Love”: Do You Care?

rol_1stlook.jpgAn e-mail from a reader today, subject line “bret michaels horrible/wonderful reality show”: “Have you seen it? As per VH1 policy, they’re rerunning it six times a day. It’s just ghastly, but you truly cannot turn away. From Michaels’ pathetic, forced enthusiasm to his bizarre wigs to the varying levels of desperation in each contestant, well, this thing is quite special.” I haven’t seen all of the first episode, in fact–I caught the first two segments when it streamed online last week, and we did break the news that Bret was the “’90s rock star” the ladies would be competing for–but it’s waiting on the TiVo, almost begging me to write about it. Should I heed its call? I’m still a little indie-logged from the Pitchfork festival, so clearly this calls for an Idolator focus group. Check out the pros and cons, as well as a handy poll, after the jump.
