Although your parents probably remember Bret Michaels as the lead singer of Poison -- and the man behind such headbanging hits as "Talk Dirty to Me" and "Nothin' But A Good Time" -- you probably know him best as the star of VH1's Rock of Love. (You know, the over-the-top, Tila Tequila-esque reality show in which desperate middle-aged women -- or women who look middle-aged -- compete for the ultimate prize: the chance to bang an aging, headband-wearing rocker in the back of his musty old tour van).
But whether you're more familiar with Bret's vocal chops or his propensity for strippers, you'll be surprised by how much you may secretly enjoy the latest video off his new album, Rock My World. Check out "Fallen" for a softer, cuddlier side of Bret. (Just like the one from "Every Rose Has Its Thorn!") Then remind yourself that he's actually a sex-crazed self-promoter who gets his kicks by forcing surgically enhanced groupies to play tackle football in the mud. Swoooooon!
