The Tony Awards should be apologizing & begging for Bret’s forgivness! It was their fault in the 1st place. The person lowering that set piece should have slowed it down when they seen that he wasn’t where he should be. He could have been killed if that thing hit him in the nose hard enough. Man up Tonys!

what a friggin bald douche

He is not bald – nor a douche… he makes more bank than you could ever hope to I’m sure.

I hope he is ok and not in a lot of pain. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THEM WHEN THEY COME THROUGH WISCONSIN IN JULY!

If he’d just ducked a little his hat and bandana and wig would have taken the impact for him. Now he’ll need even more makeup to make him look like he’s still 24.

Mary you obviously know nothing about theatre. People need to be on their marks to make sure this doesn’t happen. People lowering sets and things don’t always have a clear view of the stage. He wasn’t where he was supposed to be. It’s nobody’s fault but his.

Thank god his “hair” escaped unscathed.

Ya, he’s bald. Probably got extensions to make it look thick. Just looks like Hulk Hogan though.

Bret Michaels is a big ca-ca poo poo…AND…a friggin bald douche. Let’s get it right people!

‘All I remember is Shrek and the donkey helping me up, and Liza [Minnelli] giving me a towel,’
He handled the whole thing pretty well, give the dude a break.

Mary Mary Mary, it is adorable how misinformed and clueless you are. I am one of the stagehands responsible for bringing that set piece in and believe me, it was Brett’s fault. He even sent his manager up to the flyfloor to apologize to us for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We rehearsed that several times and Brett took it upon himself to run off his mark. Dont point fingers when you don’t know the facts. Thank you.

Yes you are one of the stagehands, LOL! go back to eat yor cereal little kid.

Yeah he is bald….sorry Giraffegirl

I think he is funny in douchey way though.

He still does his thing and people go, bottom line.

Michaels is bald, herpes infected Hepatitis C carrying waste of oxygen. His Band sucks and I for one, loved every second of this Douche getting owned!! Epic Failure for an epic Human Failure!1

I think Bret seems like a pretty cool guy. Down-to-earth, fan friendly and hard working. I mean, it’s 2009 and buddy’s still doing his hair band thing (the question of whether the hair is real notwithstanding). People should give Bret a break. He’s the real deal.

If he would have followed instructions this wouldn’t have happened…look at everyone rushing to make it behind the set piece. Seems he stayed for the applause a little too long.

This incident is an act of God telling Brett that’s it’s time to retire from the music industry because he sucks.

Enjoy my cereal? What does that even mean? I’m not lying, believe what you will buddy.

Wow is going/being bald such a bad thing! If so I’m in trouble then, like a millon plus men and women in the US. Better stay away from the hair care at walmart, might get ur a&s kicked.

Bret,

Have my baby.

Love,

Shaniqua

I WANT to dislike Brett Michaels with all my heart, but his reactions to stuff like this make me respect the guy. Anyone with his career and his hit list of women will have an attitude about himself, that’s unavoidable… so I know it’s all relative when compared to “normal people” but Brett seems pretty humble and pretty self-aware of the ridiculousness of certain aspects of his life, especially in moments on the Rock of Love show… some of his comments about the skanks he’s surrounded by are just HILARIOUS.

To Builttolast….
“Michaels’ rep also said reports that the accident was caused by Michaels missing his mark are inaccurate. “He did exactly what they asked him to do in rehearsal, where everything went fine. And when the sign came down [at the show], it smacked him on the head.”
Stagehand. LMMFAO

Dude didn’t deserve this but I feel less inclined to care because Poison blows so much.

1st off, Bret is NOT an actor of the theater. How would he know…2nd of all, when you seen him get hit, the guy operating the drop set didn’t even bother to stop it! Would you drop this on Liza Minelli or Elton John? Then why Bret Michaels?

The Tony awards should be ashamed. Very unprofessional! Those people running those things should know what could go wrong & if it does, know how to react. Hear me Mr. Stagehand?

I was trying to inform some of you guys what happened, not start a juvenile, faceless argument on a computer with a bunch of strangers. It’s not easy to stop a moving, two ton set piece on the drop of a dime. The second that Bret missed his cue and got hit, the stage manager did have us stop the piece, which is why it didnt crush him on the floor, which that large of a piece easily could have done. We cant see the stage from the flyfloor, which is why we rely on stage managers and talent that knows how to stay on cue. Bret is a good sport and a great guy, but unfortunately this accident was his fault, and whatever his manager says now, that is not what he was saying that night. Excuse me now, I have to go back to my cereal apparently. Godbless.

better than a goose in the face on a rollercoaster…

better than a goose in the face on a rollercoaster…

Everyone makes fun of Poison but they have some fun songs and sing about what most young people are thinking on a fun weekend. Women, sex, drinking, partying, cars etc. What’s so wrong w/ that?! I have all but one Radiohead album and I still have no idea what Thom is wailing about…..but it’s so cool and hip….correct?!

Poison sucks! irrelevent story. Bret…go do another 80’s countdown special on VH1 and stay off the stage.

I wasn’t there, I didn’t work the show, and I honestly don’t know whether Builttolast is what he says he is or not, but it’s all irrelevant. Whether he was there or not, he’s right. Doing a rock show is not the same as doing a tightly choreographed piece of musical theater, and Broadway stagehands are about as professional as they come. Michaels was CLEARLY off his mark, as I and the twenty or so musical theater performers I watched the show with agreed, and the stagehands did all they could at that time. And yes, if it had been Elton or Liza the same thing would have happened- we just wouldn’t be laughing as much about it. (Instead they’d just spread rumors that Liza was off the wagon.)

brett michaels looks alot better with his nose job,DONT U THINK. HA HA

bret this is what u get for putting us through ur reality based garbage of a show. clown!

The only reason Bret even missed his cue was because he desperately needed applause like a whiny baby. When the song ended, his band mates literally bolted up to the stage, while Bret stands there and waves like a retard. It’s his fault and he knows it. This fiasco could have been avoided entirely had Bret Michaels not been so into himself.

I heard backstage that it hit him so hard he had a mild concusion and it knocked his dookie loose. Loose dookie.

wait, brett who?

in other news; american news sources went back to covering shit that actually matters today. heres tom with the weather

Gee, I wish I was shameless Bret Michaels. Talk Dirty To Me seemed the beginning of a bright career.

It’s shame though: his nose fracture

STD awareness.
Be careful! STD cases on the rise!
A friend of mine who works for the largest STD dating == STDslove. com == told me that the new subscribers have
increased 25% over 2008. Rising STD rate sparks online dating sites.

Being bald isnt such a bad thing.

Covering it it beneath layers of wig,bandana,cowboyhat….is pretty bad!

LOL

I watched his Rock of Love shows and while I do agree he is quite full of himself and kissing god knows how many girls, one would be naive to think he doesn’t carry something funky, but it still is not funny to see anyone get hurt, even though I do think he wanted to stay for more adoration.

I really feel upset just looking at that video. That must have hurt big time. I dont think it’s cool for people to make fun of someone getting hurt. No one is perfect and things just happen sometimes. He is a great performer and yes he does live the rock star lifestyle. I dont know why he is being judged. I think he is very brave for being open about his life unlike a lot of other rockers. I think Bret has a great heart, I hope he is ok and recovers well.

I can’t believe what people write on this. It’s sad thing when an actor or singer gets hurt any where in this world! As for ROL, it was a fun show to watch. Even if it was a lot of making out. People watch and made it a hit.

Why hate on someone who is working hurt to have his dream come true.. Who cates about hair, etc!! I would love to see what you all look like???? What happen at the Tonys isn’t a joke and they should have slow it down.. They have time everything. They have five seconds for swearing or nudity but not this.

Wow so off this, Bret hope u are feeling better

Haahh this guy is a complete joke he just needs to drop off in a gutter somewhere like the rest of the old aged 80s glamour tranny looking hair metal musicians

Arent your 15 minutes up ? sorry about the injury, but why is it taht everyone else made it to the Band set and you didnt ? a bit greedy on the applause ?

BRET IS NOT AT FAULT IF STAGEHANDS DON’T NO WHAT THEY ARE DOING THEY SHOULDN’T DO IT. ALSO ALL YOU HATERS YOU JUS JEALOUS CAUSE HES HOT SEXY, SOMETHING YOUR NOT. YOUR ALL LOSERS IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN DOWNGRADE A MAN WHO WORKS HARD, HAS A GOOD HEART AN GIVES US THE GIFT OF MUSIC. ROCK ON BRET.. GET A LIFE LOWLIFES..

Hey Pam go back to gradeschool and learn how to spell right.

Jennifer, do you think that “retards” wave? What kind of analogy is that? I’m just surprised they allow 7th graders to comment. Who else would use the word retard?

bret micheal’s is a babe
