Was Bret Michael's Love Search A Scam?
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 tells the National Enquirer 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.
