Bret Michaels has a million love shows and whores himself out in many, many ways. But that still doesn’t sell records or tickets. It’s not fair, but it’s okay, he keeps trying and trying to win us over, cause he’s a winner.

He graces the cover of October’s issue of Billboard magazine, but we’re not sure if it’s a piece on him or on Photoshop in general because there’s so much airbrushing in there to make any Photoshop tutorial site jealous.

Expect more talk about his health issues, minus his premature male pattern baldness.

HELLNO

I actually had some news regarding the “cowboy metal” band Hellyeah. But then I found the picture above. As if having two Mudvayne members isn’t enough to poke fun at, for some reason they thought this image would work outside of Playgirl audience. Horror repeat after the jump.

Dave Mustaine the next James Bond?
