Bret Michaels News
Doctor: Bret Michaels released from hospital
AP, May 4, 2010 4:49 pm PDT"This produces a great deal of stress on the body," he said. "This is like being involved in an accident from inside."
Zabramski said Michaels is fully conscious and aware and talking fine, but he has back spasms and headaches when he tries to walk. He could continue getting back pain and headaches, but Zabramski doesn't expect any other long-term effects. He wouldn't say when Michaels was released or whether he was sent home or to a rehabilitation facility.
The 47-year-old contestant on "The Celebrity Apprentice" is receiving therapy and will probably continue to suffer from severe pain for another seven to 10 days as blood pooled under his brain dissolves. Michaels is a Type 1 diabetic, which limits the available options to ease discomfort.
Michaels' was admitted into the hospital April 22 after suffering a severe headache. He was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which causes bleeding in the fluid-filled spaces around the base of the brain.
Two tests showed that Michaels did not suffer an aneurysm, so doctors are unsure what caused his condition. They did not perform surgery or other invasive procedures, but they plan a third test to check again for an aneurysm, a bulge in a weak part of a blood vessel that makes it more likely to have a second hemorrhage.
It is unlikely that Michaels' hemorrhage is related to an appendectomy conducted on April 12 or to Michaels being hit in the face by a descending set piece at last year's Tony Awards, a mishap that left the rocker with a broken nose and a busted lip. Hard hits to the head can cause hemorrhages, but not almost a year after the incident, Zabramski said.
Michaels, who filmed most of NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice" last fall, is one of five remaining stars vying to win Donald Trump's business-themed reality TV competition. The other contenders are celebrity chef Curtis Stone, reality TV diva Sharon Osbourne, former WWE wrestler Maria Kanellis, pop singer Cyndi Lauper and actress Holly Robinson Peete.
If he avoids being fired by Trump in upcoming episodes, Michaels' prognosis means he could possibly attend "The Celebrity Apprentice" finale May 23 at New York University's Skirball Center. The finale features the last two contestants performing a final task, typically organizing a charity event, then debating each other live in front of Trump.
Michaels' representatives previously announced that his tour appearances scheduled through May 21 have been postponed, but that his other concert dates through October, including a summer tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd, are going ahead as scheduled.
Michaels already has ample experience at staging comebacks. After glam-rock was edged out in the 1990s, the "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" singer found fame again on reality TV, starring as a judge on USA's singing contest "Nashville Star" in 2005, then as the bad-boy bachelor looking for lust on VH1's tawdry dating show "Rock of Love" from 2007 to 2009.

Christina Aguilera and Grace Jones Say 'No, Thanks' To Lady Gaga Comparisons
Posted Wed Apr 21, 2010 4:40pm PDT by Liana Maeby in Stop The Presses!
Two legendary pop stars have jumped on an anti-Gaga bandwagon: Both Christina Aguilera and Grace Jones were recently compared to the "Paparazzi" prima donna, and it seems neither singer is particularly happy about the news.
Former Mickey Mouse Clubber Aguilera is set to release a new album, "Bionic," in June, her first in four years. The album's first single, "Not Myself Tonight," has been getting radio play for the past few weeks, and many who have heard it compared the synthetic beats and breathy vocals to the music of Lady Gaga.
Christina shrugged off the comparisons, explaining that it's all part of the business. She told the Bert Show on Q100 in Atlanta Tuesday morning: "It just comes with the territory. That, in particular, is not even worth wasting the breath to comment on. I've been around for over a decade and I think my work speaks for myself."
Christina's been getting Gaga comparisons ever since the Fame Monster artist arrived on the scene. In 2008, Aguilera admitted that she wasn't even really aware of Lady Gaga, telling the LA Times: "I'm not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don't know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn't sure. I really don't spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect."
Legendary singer, actress, and model Grace Jones has some Gaga resemblances to contend with as well, though she's accusing the pop star of copying her look. The complaints came after Gaga reportedly asked Jones to work on a collaboration. Jones turned the singer down, explaining to The Guardian: "I'd just prefer to work with someone who is more original and someone who is not copying me, actually."
Grace became a fashion icon in the late '70s, perfecting an outrageous personal style that includes hoods, collars, and body paint - all things that have come to represent Lady Gaga as well. Jones, a former Bond girl and Warhol muse, thinks the similarities are more than just coincidental. "I've seen some things she's worn that I've worn," she told The Guardian. "And that does kind of piss me off."
And how about Gaga's talent? About the music, Grace said, simply: "I wouldn't go to see her."
