Bret Michaels Has "Sheer Will to Live," Willl Fully Recover, Doctor Says

Based on Rock of Love , we already knew that Bret Michaels possessed a sheer will to get with groupies on his tour bus. But now we know there’s one thing this rock star cares about even more: living. As his condition continues to improve , Michaels’ neurosurgeon at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix is marveling at Bret’s recovery and attitude. “There is no doubt that Mr. Michaels’ condition is serious,” Dr. Zabramski said this week, following the singer’s subarachnoid hemorrhage on April 22. “Bret’s sheer will to live and fully recover is undeniable. He has an unbelievable fight in him and told me what kept him alive at the moment of the hemorrhage was that he did not want his family to wake up and see him lying unconscious in the middle of the floor.” Michaels has two daughters, Raine and Jorja, ages nine and four. He’s also a diabetic who has suffered through numerous “roadblocks,” Zabramski said, including “hyponatremia, severe cranial and back pain suffered from blood drainage.” His patient in stable condition, the doctor added: “It was a combination of Bret’s fight to stay conscious during the hemorrhage and get to the emergency room, and the immediate medical attention provided by our staff at Barrow that enabled us to stabilize his condition.” The team at Barrow will hold press conference on Tuesday, in which surgeons will update Michaels’ progress even more.

Concert Goers Walk Out on Whitney Houston, Refer to Singer as "Rubbish"

The Whitney Houstin Humiliation Tour goes on. A month ago, during a concert in Australia, the former chart topper coughed and wheezed her way through a rendition of “I Will Always Love You.” She most verses to back-up singers. It was pathetic. But it wasn’t enough to cancel the tour, as Whitney’s manager tried to spin the debacle into a tale of someone way past her prime going out there and giving it her all. “If [fans] want to see a true professional artist give 100%, come along and enjoy the ride of an amazing talent, on stage, letting her heart and soul out,” he told future audience members. The folks in London didn’t get the memo, however, as they actually hoped for an enjoyable performance from Houston over the weekend. Concert goers had the gall to expect Whitney to actually sing her own material, and many walked out of The O2 Arena when she could only muster excuses, as opposed to high notes. “She don’t want to come, my soprano friend,” Houston whined, blaming the arena’s air conditioning. “Sometimes the old girl sings, but not tonight. I want to do it, but she doesn’t want to.” Referring to your voice, broken down after years of drug use, as an individual with its own personality? No wonder friends refer to Hostuon as a ” hot mess .” Said one person in attendance to USA Today : The concert was “rubbish. She can’t even complete a song.” Another referred to Whitney as “not a patch on what she was.” We assume that’s British speak for: She’s an absolutely trainwreck that needs serious help. Watch the terrible performance below, but be warned: you may need to double up on ear plugs. A Total Failure

Jim Carrey Insists: I’m Totally Sane!

This may be hard to believe, but there was a time when Jim Carrey was known as one of the most popular actors on the planet. Remember Ace Ventura, anyone? But the funny man hasn’t had a box office success in years. Which was fine when he was seemingly busy and content with Jenny McCarthy. Ever since that pair broke-up , though, Carrey has unleashed a stream of Tweets that has fans concerned: might the actor have fallen off the deep end? For example, he recently referenced his character in The Truman Show and wrote: “I have freed Truman at long last! I am grateful for my avatar’s many yrs of dedicated service, but no one has ever won the Tour De France while back peddling… so I killed him.” Well, okay then. At least Carrey isn’t still placing some blame on Elin Woods for her husband’s infidelity. Carrey acknowledges that “some folks out there are worried that I stay up too late,” but he insists: “This is no breakdown! It’s a breakthrough! And if you’ll just loosen these straps, I’ll show you the difference!” Sorry, Jim, but we’re not convinced.
