Jes Rickleff News

Bret Michaels is ready for Rock of Love 2.

At least more than he was for the original reality series, which the musician admits came at a bad time: he wasn't prepared for a relationship during the show, making it a good thing Jes Rickleff dumped him, as guess.

"I had just come out of a long relationship with two kids," Michaels said. "I was more ready for 'Rock of Like' or 'Rock of Dating.' Jes and me had a real dose of reality when the show ended. There were five months in between and we talked on the phone a few times. I invited her to my shows in Chicago and St. Louis, but she didn't come.

The reality of reality dating is kind of strange."

Gee, you think, Bret?

Jes Rickleff has entered the second phase of reality TV stardom: random appearances.

For example, the Rock of Love star was recently spotted in New Jersey on October 19, making an appearance at Club Abyss is Sayreville. A local news outlet said the pink-haired wonder would be hosting the Ladies Night Dance Party, which followed the club's "male revue."

Hot!

Rickleff then joined rival Heather in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday at the Pangaea Lounge at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Fortunately, Jes is also appearing in the name of a good cause this upcoming weekend. On Sunday, October 28, she'll fly home to the Illinois area in order to be featured as a guest at a fundraiser that will benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

The event will take place at a local salon called Neo Bella, and it's reported that "all net proceeds will benefit the foundation, along with 10 percent of any retail products sold also going to the charity."

In the latest news about Rock of Love:

In a shocking development, Bret Michaels is no longer with the woman he chose on the show, Jes Rickleff. It's amazing, we know.

But while Jes may be out of the news, runner-up, Heather, may be getting her own Rock of Live spin-off.

"I'm moving to LA as soon as my house [in Las Vegas] sells," Heather told the New York Post last Thursday, adding the new four-bedroom house will also serve as a home to Brandi C. and Kristia.

She also randomly said that she loves Chris Crocker, a Britney Spears fan and blogger made famous by his tearful video plea on YouTube - and he'll be joining the three of them in the house.

"He's funny and hilarious," she said of Crocker. "He's very flamboyant and he's controversial which is awesome... I think a reality show with the four of us in L.A. would be a great idea."

Now that she no longer works as a stripper, Heather is hoping to launch her career in the entertainment industry. She spoke of a possible Rock of Love show for herself, similar to that of I Love New York.

"They're flying me out [this] week to talk about a few things," she said.

Jes Rickleff may have won over Bret Michaels on Rock of Love. But that doesn't mean the pink-haired hottie is gonna change any time soon.

"My personal life hasn't changed a whole lot. I'm still me," Jes told VH1. "I just have a ton of strangers coming up to me thinking that they know me. I know someone called me a snot because he approached me while I was eating. I asked if he could wait till I was done and he said, ‘That's pretty snotty of you.' I said, ‘No offense, but I'm still a real person. If I want to eat my food in peace, that's what I'm going to do.' It's weird."

She actually makes a good point. And sounds well-grounded below:

"I stuck to my morals from day one. I refused to portray myself in that manner. I'm not going to sit there and show affection to a man who's showing affection to 20 other women.

I wouldn't do that in front of chicks to make them jealous. I don't play that game in my life and I refuse to play that game on TV."
