Poison star Brett 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 (Sep07), 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 in America, TV bosses have ordered a second season, during which
the Poison star will again be on the look out for love.
