Are children ages 5-12 desperate to be introduced to hair-metal ballads that are decades older than they are? Kidz Bop, the now-venerable series of age-appropriate kid-chorus cover compilations, hopes so: May 17 will see the release of Kidz Bop Sings Monster Ballads. Life As I Know It‘s own Bret Michaels and his daughters Raine and Jorja have recorded what will likely be the jewel of this volume: a re-recording of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” which Michaels originally sang with Poison in 1988, and which was previously anthologized on Monster Ballads: Platinum Edition. This time around, his daughters take the lead, with Bret on guitar. [click to continue…]
We’ll be looking back at the year that was 2010 on VH1 all week, and to start things off easily is a group of screen shots amassed from various recaps over the past year from shows like Basketball Wives, You’re Cut Off!, Frank the Entertainer in A Basement Affair, What Chilli Wants and more. If you pay close attention, you may see an abstract story unfolding. Or maybe not! Enjoy the images…

After three seasons of Rock of Love and an entire season of flip-flopping on Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It, at last, Bret has produced an actual rock of love…on the ring of the finger of the mother of his two children, Kristi Gibson! The engagement closed out last night’s Life as I Know It finale and capped the show the way it needed to be capped. At last, this is a happy ending to a Bret Michaels-led reality series that has a chance of lasting. Congrats to all!

The sounds children make (provided they’re coming from the right place) can be a sort of social music — think babies laughing or a toddler’s first words. But my favorite child sound of all has to be that of a precious school-age kid cursing. It is never not funny (unless, of course, it’s your kid, and even then, it could still be hilarious). Bret Michaels‘ endlessly amusing 5-year-old Jorja cursed up a blue streak on this week’s Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It, as this bonus clips reel highlighting Jorja’s potty mouth attests. Kristi lightly reprimands Jorja’s D- and D-bombs but she doesn’t come down too hard on the child. She’s probably too entertained by it all, and the sheer look of joy that comes over Jorja’s face while she says “dogs***” is way too precious for a mother to just cut off, anyway.
On this week’s Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It, our hero searched far and wide for a reason why he’s yet to pop the question to Kristi. Well, that’s an overstatement actually — he talked to his father and a life coach and did some just-below-the-surface level introspection. The results? “My problem is I don’t know what my problem is,” he admitted. Also: “It’s great to know that I’ve finally addressed one thing in my life: I’m f***ing nuts!” I guess the first step to solving a problem is acknowledging it? If, in fact, we can consider the Kristi situation a problem at all? Plenty of guys would probably call an on-again-off-again situation with their children’s mother a solution.
In the end (as seen in today’s Last Night’s Bag O’ Clips post) he referred to his and Kristi’s status as “almost engaged” and “superior level boyfriend/girlfriend.” The words, the words, what do they mean? I get the feeling that his feet-dragging to way beyond his desire to stretch out intrigue over the course of this season of his reality show. The real question is: just how terminal is his fear of commitment.
The greatest moment of the night, though, involved Bret and Kristi working as a unit to solve a problem posed by Jorja: how to spell diarrhea. Check out an alternate version of the scene below and do not be surprised if Leave It to Jorja hits VH1 very, very soon. It’s almost eerie how well such a young person can make such good TV.
Why? So you can use it later, according to Bret. I don’t know what that means, but Raine apparently does. Help?
