VH1 Sets New Season for Rock of Love

SANTA MONICA, July 17: VH1
has lined up a third season of Rock of Love, which features a new set of women competing for
the heart of rock star Bret Michaels as they travel across America on a
month-long tour.

The first two seasons of Rock
of Love pulled in strong ratings
for VH1, and season three, entitled Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels, will follow Michaels’ life with the women on the
road, including new over-the-top challenges such as Truck Stop Olympics and Mud
Bowl 3. Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels is created and executive produced by Mark Cronin
and Cris Abrego of 51 Minds Entertainment, an Endemol company. The new season
is set to premiere in early 2009.

"Seasons one and two
of Rock of Love shattered
ratings records and VH1 is so happy to have Bret back for another outrageous
season,” said Jeff Olde, VH1's executive VP of original programming and
production. “This time we'll reveal Bret in his most comfortable
setting—the infamous rock star tour bus."

"We are excited to
hit the road for another season of Rock of Love," commented Cronin and Abrego. "Nobody
knows their way around a tour bus like Bret Michaels, and we are confident that
the audience will enjoy the ride."
