At least one person thinks it would be a good idea. Simon Cowell himself. Bret Michaels became the front runner to replace Simon after his triumphant performance on the live finale of AI Wednesday night.

Bret is so old-school rock-n-roll that he ignored his doctors’ advice and took to the Idol stage for a duet with finalist Casey James.

The ailing rocker, who is still recovering from a near-fatal brain hemorrhage and a recent stroke, was an instant hit with fans, who gave him a standing ovation as he walked out to sing a rendition of Poison’s Every Rose Has Its Thorn.

And Cowell was left so impressed he’s considering handing him his judging seat now that the Brit has quit the show after nine years on the panel. He says, “Actually, he’d be good. He’s funny. He’s got experience. He’d be a good choice – and you saw the audience reaction to him. They love him.”

This might be a good move for the ailing rock star. A steady gig without so much traveling might be good for him. AI is only going to last a few more seasons anyway. I’m sure Bret can hang in that long.

You can’t keep a good rocker down.

Look at my boy on stage at the American Idol finale last night. Diabetes, booze, bleeding brain, stroke, heart trouble…nothing can stop this man!

Bret Michaels performed Every Rose Has It’s Thorn last night and looked and sounded just fine.

One day there will be a movie and broadway show called The Unsinkable Bret Micheals. If that’s too obscure for you kids..Google Molly Brown.

You are killing me Bret! I thought you were all better and on the road to recovery. My heart can’t take my high-school hair band heart throb being so unhealthy and God forbid….something worse!

Bret Michaels has suffered what doctors call a “warning stroke” and has been diagnosed with a patent forum ovale, or hole in the heart, according to a report Thursday on his website. Michaels’ publicist, Joann Mignano, confirmed the report.

Michaels was hospitalized after experiencing numbness on the left side of his body, particularly in his face and hands.

Doctors say the condition is operable and treatable and likely unrelated to the brain hemorrhage the 47-year-old suffered last month.

Michaels’ neurosurgeon said that while the Poison frontman has a “fantastic attitude” about making a full recovery, “Bret’s brain and body are not quite 100 percent yet, especially with the hole found in his heart.”

So slow the freak down..cancel the tour…tell Donald to screw off and get well dude!

There’s nothing like having a bleeding brain to make you re-access your life and get your priorities straight. Bret Michaels says now that he is on the road to recovery he is making a ‘positive bucket list’ and that may include finally marrying his baby-momma.

He tells People magazine, “As painful as this experience has been, I was given a second chance, right? I don’t want to sit around every night worrying this is going to happen again. What I want to do is make a positive bucket list and say, ‘I’m just gonna go for it.’

“There’s just so much more I want to do and experience. (Getting married), for sure, is something I have never done. Kristi’s such a great person. We’ll see if that happens. But yes, that may be one of the big things on the list.

“My first goal is to get back (to) 100 per cent. I want to continue to rock the world, and I want to continue to love my family and be a good father.”

Bret dated (and knocked up)  Kristi Gibson from 1994 to 2005, and  they reunited after he failed to find lasting love on VH1 reality TV show Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.

They have two daughters together:  Raine, nine, and Jorja, five.

We thought this we were finally getting some news on the condition of Bret Michaels, but then things got confusing. Tuesday Bret’s father, Wally Sychak, told Extra that he was stable.

“Well, the fact that he was talking to me, and giving me information, I thought that was great. I understood that this was a terrible ordeal that he was going through. We’re not getting information right now. I guess no news is good news.He sounded a little slow, but fine,” Sychak said. “He was talking, not as cheerful as he usually is. But I guess he is under sedation. But he understood what he was saying and knew me. Everything seemed good that way.”

But then late Tuesday The Huffington Post reported that Bret suffered a setback that could cause seizures. So really…we don’t know what the hell is going on.
