Bret Michaels Deemed "Lucky," Released from Hospital

On the VH1 reality show Rock of Love , Bret Michaels got lucky many times, often in the back of his tour bus. Similarly, the singer’s surgeon described him as “lucky” today at a press conference, where Dr. Joseph Zabramski updated fans on the progress of Michaels, fewer than two weeks after he suffered a brain hemorrhage. “Mr. Michaels was indeed a very lucky person,” Zabramski, speaking to the press at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix, said. “He’s improving and I expect him to continue to improve. I really expect that he will fortunately make a 100 percent recovery.” Bret has been discharged and reps say he may even perform on stage again before the month is over. Hurry up and get better, Bret Michaels: there are countless VH1 reality stars you have not yet boned!

David Boreanaz Mistress Will Go Public With Her Story, Lawyer Says

‘The truth will come out,’ Gloria Allred says in a statement to the New York Daily News. By Jocelyn Vena David Boreanaz with his wife Jaime Bergman Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images Despite rumors that David Boreanaz and Rachel Uchitel had an extramarital relationship — and the fact that she has the same lawyer, Gloria Allred, as the “Bones” star’s unnamed mistress — Allred says Uchitel is not the woman Boreanaz confessed to having an affair with on Monday. And in a statement to the New York Daily News, Allred said she only called Boreanaz’s lawyer, Marty Singer, to talk to him, not looking for money. “We discussed the possible resolution of my client’s legal claims against Mr. Boreanaz by mediation,” Allred said in the statement. “My client has not told her story to the press, but now that Mr. Boreanaz is attacking her, she has decided to tell the story of their relationship so that the truth will come out.” Although Allred wouldn’t confirm the woman’s identity, she did say, “Neither Rachel Uchitel, nor I as her attorney, have made any claims against David Boreanaz, nor does she have any intention of doing so.” Uchitel’s name has been in the news over the past few months because of her alleged affair with Tiger Woods. The woman that had the affair with Boreanaz reportedly got upset with the actor after he told her they were “exclusive,” even though he is married to Jaime Bergman. Singer claimed that the woman left a “threatening” voice mail for Boreanaz. TMZ reports that despite the affair, Boreanaz’s relationship with his wife is now “stable.” The couple have no plans to divorce, and they were spotted in Los Angeles on Tuesday (May 4) shortly after the news broke. Reportedly, Bergman was the one who convinced her husband to go public with the infidelity.

Aldo VS Faber Results

The results are out for the Aldo VS Faber WEC 48. Aldo vs. Faber results truly exemplify that Aldo’s leg kicks could not be overpowered. Faber informed the press right after the fight that he was trained to defend against the kicks of Aldo; the training obviously wasn’t enough. “I trained a lot of defense [for] those leg kicks, but he was very effective with them. He really took away my legs, and it was impossible to get something going when he was attacking like that.” Aldo then explained: “Every time I would try to kick, he would switch his base and I was aware of that. So I didn’t want to go outside of my limits and get caught in something. … He has a very strong right cross and I wanted to pay attention to that. I just was waiting for the right time to try to finish.” Aldo VS Faber Results is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading
