Bret Michaels has done it, he has won “Celebrity Apprentice”!
After suffering a brain hemorrhage and a “warning stroke”, he decided to still attend the finale of the show in support of his charity the American Diabetes Association.
Mr. Trump asked, “Are you risking your life being here? This is a lot of pressure.” About Bret’s doctors, Mr. Trump shared “they didn’t want you to be here tonight. At all. Believe me, not at all.”
“Lately it seems like me just standing up is risking my life,” Bret said, garnering laughs from the audience. He flew to New York from Los Angeles for the finale.
Both finalists, Bret Michaels and Holly Robinson Peete won $250,000 for their charities as Snapple decided to match Mr. Trump’s prize money of $250,000.
On Bret Michael’s health, a spokeswoman on her website says: “No doubt these recent medical complications have been tough but he wants to continue to live his life, enjoy every day and get back on the road,” “He is taking all the medications and steps to insure that he can do that.As his friends and staff we are all making sure that he is not taking any undo risks and we are certainly taking every precaution possible to insure his health and well being.”
At the end of the show Donald Trump looked at Bret and looked like he was going to fire him, but instead said — “you’re hired,”. I have to say that was a great relief to hear, he was truly the underdog from the beginning of the show, and I am glad to see that he won. He’s extremely creative, a great project leader, and really knows how to treat people with kindness and fairness.
Soon we will see Bret on TV again, first in a series of interviews to celebrate his “Celebrity Apprentice” victory.Next week Sunday he will preview his new reality show “Bret Michaels: Life As I know It,” which is due to launch in fall. However, production has been put on hold due to Bret’s health issues. Bret is also due to release a new album next month.
