Aging rock star relives old days

VH1 is back with another promising season of "Rock of Love," a television show which follows the love life struggles of Bret Michaels, lead singer of Poison.
There are catfights, drunks, botched plastic surgery and stripteases from questionably old women.
Anyone obsessed with the songs "Every Rose has Its Thorn" or "I Want to Rock and Roll All Night" will get plenty of one-minute excerpts of the songs, over and over again.
Bret Michaels invited 20 women on his tour of love to have an all-access pass to his home, his life and his heart.
Unlike last season in which Michaels gave a small pretense of interest in the women, it is completely obvious that he is only looking for sex.
Each week the rock star gives challenges as opportunities for the women to prove their passion for him and adapt their lives to the rock n' roll lifestyle.
During the season Michaels will give VIP passes to the winners to earn special "alone time" with him, in which he will pretend to want a "soulful connection," but will be staring at their fake breasts while they speak.
However, Michaels is not the only one to objectify the women. The lucky ladies actually do it to themselves as well.
In the first episode, photos were taken of the women in which they were encouraged to show skin and go into scandalous positions, and the women rose happily to the occasion.
One woman, who looks like she did her own plastic surgery on her face, immediately set the standard by taking off her shirt, another fell into the splits and yet another bent over backwards.
The ladies who did not show skin were said to have had low confidence.
At another point in the episode, Michaels had five drunk and half-naked women falling all over him, and he responded by saying that there are never too many women to fit in your lap.
One woman claims to have a germ phobia, so she will not kiss Michaels, and another already left the show with anxiety issues.
The sad thing is, watching these women do these things is extremely entertaining.
It's tragic, but watching an aging man, with terrible hair extensions and black eye liner, try to relive the days when he was wanted by every beautiful woman is entertaining.
These girls are extreme, drunk, ridiculous and completely mad about Bret Michaels.
The next episode airs on Sunday, Jan. 27, following reruns of previous episodes.
