I hope he pulls through. I grew up with Poison and still listen to their music. I was just listening to "Every Rose has a Thorn" this morning driving to work.

 

[Mistral]

I went to see them about 7 years ago on the Big Hair Tour with Don Dokken and Ratt. They did a great job.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Hopefully that's not a complication from when the curtain fell on him at the Tonys.

 

[MeanJoePhaser]

I bet POISON is to blame.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Hope he's gonna be OK.

He's one of the non-assinine 80's rockers (Axl, Sebastian, I'm lookin' at you 2).

Didn't Brett walk into the scenery at the Grammy's a year ago? Wonder if that had anything to do with this new problem.

 

[melancholymecha]

isnt he diabetic?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

^ Yes. He was admitted to a facility for diabetics right after the appendectomy.

Presumably for the recovery process, in a place more suited to looking after diabetics.

Ironic. Whenever I happen to catch his show, I feel like I'm having the brain hemorrhage.

 

[Snaploud]

I hope he pulls through.

Regarding Celebrity Apprentice:

I assume all the episodes of Celebrity Apprentice (minus the usually live part of the finale in which Trump chooses a winner) have already been filmed. That could be a really awkward ending to the season if Brett made it much farther. The final two contestants usually have the last few eliminated contestants as helpers for the last challenge, and that's not even dealing with the possibility that Brett makes it to the final two.

 

[T'Baio]

Ironic. Whenever I happen to catch his show, I feel like I'm having the brain hemorrhage.

So it's only okay to make fun of celebrities lives when we don't know them?

 

[Level 2 Diagnostic]

It's okay to make fun of celebrities' lives until they die. After they die they are perfect saints whose talents sadly went unappreciated here on earth, and we mere mortals should be thankful that they ever walked among us.

Is he the guy who has his own casting style show for his girlfriend where all the women are huge silicone boobed and equally trashy?

 

[ancientone51]

I read this yesterday.

Funny, he has always seemed to me to be a nice guy...and yes, I've watched bits of his reality shows.

Now on Celebrity Apprentice he seems fairly intelligent as well, and hard working.

Hope for the best for him and his family members.

I knew you'd catch this one. And while my comment was in poor taste, it wasn't about Bret's suicide less than a month after the fact. And while I suppose it's just splitting hairs, I was making fun of his show, not him.

And while there is something to be said for knowing when to make snide remarks regarding a celebrity's health, death, or whatever when there's a possibility more than one person on this board would know that celebrity personally, I see the point you are making and will concede that you're right.

My comment was totally in poor taste and as such I retract it with apologies.

And of course I do hope he recovers, as I would with any other person in same condition.

I believe the term for them are "Unskinny Bops".

 

[Lookingglassman]

I'm hoping he pulls through.

 

[Showdown]

Same here. I hope he'll be ok.
