Bret Michaels got the scare of his life when earlier this year (April) he underwent an emergency appendectomy only to then collapse from a near-fatal brain hemorrhage.  His health troubles didn’t stop there as he later suffered a stroke and was subsequently diagnosed with a hole in his heart.

He is a walking miracle to say the least! His recovery is nothing short of a miracle and he’s not taking it for granted. Since his appendectomy he has sworn off alcohol completely but isn’t fully recovered telling People:

“I’m only 85 per cent back, so I can’t kickbox. I have short-term memory loss, so I have to repeat things to myself over and over. And I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since. My goal next year is to rock harder and sleep more!”

“I haven’t had a drop of alcohol since my appendectomy. I didn’t fight through this to want to die…

In addition to giving up the alcohol he has his priorities straight:

“My thing now is spending time with Kristi and our daughters. I don’t want my legacy to be a hemorrhage. I want it to be: I’m a fighter, I’m passionate, I’m hardworking, and I love music.”

Those straightened-out priorities still don’t include marriage any time soon:

“I respect marriage, but it’s the leading cause of divorce! I still get a little sweaty about the marriage thing. I don’t want to ruin our relationship by getting engaged and suddenly feeling like, ‘This really isn’t what I wanted; I just wanted to stay where we were.’”

Isn’t it still mind-boggling how he has recovered from all that he went through? We wish him a 100% recovery.

Miley Cyrus has plenty of reasons to drown her sorrows in a bottle of booze.  Her parents are getting a divorce thanks to her mom allegedly sleeping with Bret Michaels and she and her boy toy, Liam Hemsworth just broke up.  Then there is always the constant scrutiny she has to deal with for “growing up.”  What’s an almost 18-year-old to do?  Get drunk out of the country.  That’s what.

Miley Cyrus’ Mom and Dad File For Divorce

Miley was seen out at a club in Madrid, Spain drinking Coronas.  TMZ looked into it, only to find out from the authorities over there that underage drinking is a-okay.  The legal age there is 18, but even 16-year-olds are allowed to booze it up.  It looks like beers are in the clear for the teens in Madrd.   So Miley was not breaking the law.

You know that all the parents out there who think their kids aren’t doing the same, in America no less are still going to be all bent out of shape, thinking that Miley is setting such a bad example.  Guess, what?  Your kids are doing too.  Go check!

Rocker and winner of NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice,” Bret Michaels, will perform his signature song “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” on Wednesday, August 4 on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”

With Rock of Love” being one of the most successful television shows in VH1′s history, and with three record breaking seasons under his belt, Bret is currently embarking on several other television projects, including the upcoming VH1 show “Bret Michaels: Life as You Know It” this fall.

Can you believe he was just recently on what seemed like death’s door? This guy doesn’t stop.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott along with your favourite stars from various NBC shows got together for the NBC Universal Winter Press Tour cocktail party in Los Angeles last night to promote their shows.  I don’t like to be critical of women and their weight because I think we focus way too much on it in society, generally speaking.  However from a health perspective, I have to say that Tori looks scary skinny.  You can see her chest bones protruding out.  I sincerely hope that she is okay, health wise.

And if you’re wondering what happened to Dean, he told ET Online that he had a motorcycle mishap where he suffered a bruised scapula and a bruised bone during a practice session for the first race of the WERA season on Saturday:

“I crashed yesterday during a practice round and was rushed to hospital and got X-rays and everything… I’m fine, I did three races today and it hurts like hell but I wasn’t going to miss the first race of the season!”

And his wife’s reaction to his accident:

“In the new year I’m practicing not reacting to life! I’m usually a stress ball so I think I’m handling it pretty well!”
