Bret Michaels gets crowned at Tonys
Update: The AP is reporting that Bret Michaels fractured his nose and busted his lip in the incident written about below.
Did you see the Tony Awards last night? Of course you did. It totes rocks.
For those of you who didn’t, 80s hair legends Poison performed their cheesed-out “Nothing But A Good Time.” Why was Poison at the Tonys? Because frontman Brett Michaels is starring in Neil Labute’s “Reasons to Be Pretty,” of course.
Actually, the band was playing with some of the cast of “Rock of Ages,” which was nominated for Best Musical but totally got pwned by “Billy Elliot, The Musical.”
Anyhoo … the band ended its tune with guitarist C.C. DeVille, Michaels and bassist Bobby Dall leaning in to hit the final excruciating note. As the song came to it merciful conclusion, DeVille and Dall hightailed it back onto the raised stage as a massive piece of scenery lowered from the ceiling. Unfortunately for Michaels, he preened one second too long, missed his cue and as he tried to hustle back to his mark, got clotheslined by the set and ended up flat on his back as Stockard Channing took the stage.
Maybe Michaels should stick to mining groups of skanks to find ‘love’ on VH1. (We laugh because we’ve heard reports that he is not in any sort of critical condition.)
Check the awesomeness … and what the hell is with that weird shoulder shrug/clinch Michaels does as the end of the song?
