Was POISON Singer's Love Search A Sham?

According to World Entertainment News Network, POISON singer Bret Michaels' hit new reality dating show, "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels", has allegedly been exposed as a sham — the girl he picked to date was already in a committed relationship.

The rocker picked Jes Ricklett as his mate in the show's high-rated finale last month, but the pink-and-white haired stylist apparently revealed that she had no plans of having a real romance with Michaels — she dashed off to be with her boyfriend as soon as taping finished.

And, to make matters worse for Michaels, Ricklett's real man, Chicago-based designer Joe Quade, has started poking fun at the POISON star on Joe's MySpace page, writing "[Jes] wants to deal with real fans, not losers . . . If you're not creepy and just want info on the clothing line or to see pics of Jes with a real man that still has his real hair, then thank you for your interest."

Ricklett tells the National Enquirer she had no intention of becoming the girlfriend of a faded rock star when she auditioned for the hit show.

She says, "Someone found me and wanted me to audition for the show, so I did.

"To be honest, I wasn't going on there looking for love. I was kind of like, 'Let's see if I could promote myself.' That's pretty much why I did it."

In a posting on her MySpace page, Jes writes about the show, "In the final episode when Bret asked us [Jes and Heather] if he could have us both, I want to clarifly that Heather said no. They edited it to make her look like she said yes and she didn't at all.

"Heather is a kick-ass girl, absolutely hilarious with a great heart, and her and I had a great time together.

"When a guy that is supposed to be looking for his ONE true love...why would he ask to have both?? Kinda weird, huh? To me, [that was a] HUGE flag that he lied the whole time and isn't really looking for love. Not being his true self.

"No one saw the interaction him and Heather had throughout the whole show but the other girls and myself.

"I'll be competely honest, she was everyone's competition from the beginning. There's a reason why I feel he should have picked her, and it's reasons that NONE of you will ever understand. And people are shitting on me, fine, but isn't it funny that Bret himself even admitted that he was too scared to pick Heather because he knew she wanted the real thing and he wasn't ready for it? Did any of you pay attention to that?! Did you ever think that, that was my whole point for getting up there and doing what I did [rejecting Bret on the reunion show]? To prove he wasn't there for the right reasons."
