Bret Michaels Meltdown: Rock Star Shocked By 'All-Star Apprentice' Elimination!

Bret Michaels, the long-haired blonde musicians best known as the lead singer of the band Poison and star of the TV reality series "Rock of Love," reportedly lost his mind after being eliminated from "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice." Bret Michaels had high hopes going into the show, especially since he won the NBC series "Celebrity Apprentice" in the past.

"Bret was crying and totally distraught after he was fired," reports Radar Online, who cites an anonymous insider close to the matter. The entertainment blog agrees that Bret Michaels firing was totally unexpected and shocked audiences when it was announced. Since audience members and expert entertainment bloggers were shocked by the news that Bret Michaels was eliminated from "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice," it should be no surprise that the Bret Michaels' meltdown came shortly after the announcement.

"Bret totally went into the show believing he was going to win again," the Radar Online source says. "He couldn't believe it that he was let go so quickly. It was brutal to watch him freaking out the way he did."

Following the Bret Michaels meltdown, the singer appeared on CBS "The Talk" on Monday to talk about his feelings following his elimination. Bret Michaels meltdown wasn't aired, but on "The Talk" he appeared to be visibly frustrated and disappointed. "I got hired big on the show, I've been fired big, and I want to say this," said Bret Michaels during his interview on CBS. "One of the things for me, when I went back to do this, it was really genuinely from my heart. Very sincere. I went back to fight this. It was an 'All-Star Apprentice.' I was asked to do it. I wanted to do it. Way before I did 'The Apprentice' and long after I do it, I raise a lot of money for charity."

The brash singer made it clear that he wasn't happy losing "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice" despite the fact that he still had good intentions after leaving the show. "There's no doubt that it is horrible to be fired and lose," said Bret Michaels. "I'm not going to say it was a joy to be sitting there [while I got fired]." As he continues to speak about the experience, Bret Michaels says that the decision to work with one of his teammates was ultimately what led to his downfall. He said that Omarosa essentially caused him to be fired, and as he says it, it's clear that another Bret Michaels meltdown was on the verge of happening.
