Entertainment

NEW YORK – Even though Bret Michaels endured two seasons of conniving, drunken debauchery, bad weaves and cat fights on his reality show, Rock of Love, he admits that he still may not have found that one special woman. Mr. Michaels says that, in second-season winner Ambre, he's found someone who's "nice and cool."

He talked about relationships and lessons learned as Rock of Love: The Complete First Season is released to DVD this month.

Is this just a show for entertainment, or did you really go into this thinking that you were going to find true love?

I said this from day one: I went into this to have fun and maybe find someone to like. True love is not going to be found instantly on a TV show. That is only for scripted shows. It is the reason Rock of Love has been the No. 1 show. It has been kept as real as possible.

Did you find true love this time?

I found someone who is really nice and cool and gets rock 'n' roll. We can see where it goes from here.

What are the most important lessons you learned from being in a house with a bunch of women?

One good lesson that I have learned is patience. Even if you are not listening, act like you are listening. Even if you are in the background watching ESPN, listen or pretend to be listening. If you are going to use the same nice charm and jokes, try not to take three women on a date at the same time so that each of them does not know you're using it. The Associated Press
