By now you've seen the funny video of Poison singer Bret Michaels getting hit on the head with a piece of scenery during the Tony Awards show Sunday night. (It's no "Man Getting Hit by Football," but we've found that it does stand up to repeated viewings.) And though the video makes it seem like Michaels smashed into the scenery because of his own rock-god obliviousness, the singer's publicist categorically denies a Tonys spokeperson's assertion that the rocker "missed his mark." Michaels's rep tells People, "By all means, he did not miss his mark. He did exactly what they asked him to do in rehearsal, where everything went fine. And when the sign came down [at the show], it smacked him on the head. He may have to cancel his next show - we'll see. Bret is a tough son of a bitch, but he's really banged up." Michaels—who fractured his nose, had to get a CAT scan, and required three stitches to his bloodied lip—says, "All I remember is Shrek and the donkey helping me up, and Liza [Minnelli] giving me a towel."

"All I remember is Shrek and the donkey helping me up, and Liza [Minnelli] giving me a towel."
I think the same thing happened on Rock of Love.
I know someone who was working as a stagehand at the Tonys and she said Bret Michaels wasn't at rehearsal. And to top it off, some other stage hands got rope burns trying to stop the scenery from falling on him.
Every rose has a thorn Bret.
I know someone who works at RCMH who told me he was there rehearsing on Friday with others.
It also doesn't excuse the stagehands from flying the scenery when the stage wasn't clear. It's their responsibility to look out for those onstage.
he should be honored.
Liza doesn't just give towels to anyone.
The only thing sadder than dried up rockers are ones who weren't very good at their peak.
I'd wish the scenery knocked that hat off his head,
but he probably has it superglued on.
Why was Bret Michaels there?
He can deny it all he wants, but the video seems pretty clear- everybody else got behind the drop lickity-split, while he took his time waving to the crowd.
I remember when Liza gave me a towel. Wow, that was some weekend.
"All I remember is Shrek and the donkey helping me up, and Liza [Minnelli] giving me a towel."
Sounds like the final scene in a gay porn movie.
FTW
He is such a POSER. Real rock stars don't need a show in order to get laid.
Are you really talking about Bret and Liza? He should be able to do better.
I feel like Gene Rayburn. "I thought Liza handed me a towel, but it was a _____________."
Charles Nelson Reilly: "Liza handed me a........"
You're supposed to break a leg, not a nose.
It's ok folks, we'll get him next time...
