Bret Michaels
August 24

Bret Michaels is a rock star, reality star, spokesperson, businessman, and philanthropist. Michaels first rose to fame as the frontman of Poison. As one of rock's most iconic and enduring bands, Poison has achieved massive success, selling over 30 million records worldwide.

Bret Michaels' solo career has been equally successful: his most recent solo album, "Custom Built" topped the charts, reaching #1 on Billboard's Hard Rock list.

Michaels' "Rock of Love" television series was one of the most successful in VH1's history. VH1 and Bret Michaels teamed up for his family-oriented docu-series "Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It". Michaels trumped the competition on Donald Trump's NBC hit, "Celebrity Apprentice", winning that season.
