The Tony Awards Talking Point: Bret Michaels Falls On His Ass

Yes, Liza Minnelli won her fourth Tony (as she deserved to). And yes, Billy Elliot: The Musical took a mop and wiped that place clean of statues. And yes, Elton John looked halfway put together performing in a tuxedo. And while all of that is important, what you’ll actually be talking about tomorrow is what happened when Bret Michaels performed with the Rock Of Ages cast and did not manage to get out of the way in time for the set coming down above him. Blink and you’ll miss it.

What do you think of this post?

Just goes to show that straight men have NO PLACE on the Broadway stage. You’re safer back on the “Love Bus”, dude.

Neil Patrick Harris sang a very gay closing to the Tonies. Fabulous!

Absolutely fabulous. I enjoyed the entire show from beginning to end.

It would have been nice if Angela Landsbury had mentioned Bea Arthur in her acceptance speech.

I wonder if he can still yell out “LAWSUIT!” That was bad, and I would sue if that was me.

@Bitch, please!: He totally missed his mark of where he was supposed to stand. If anything, it was Brett’s fault more than it was the Tonys.

@Pilgrim: Like I mentioned elsewhere, that bitch Tank is on the proverbial rag the whole year round. Heck, even women get it for only a few days a month!

Actually, “straight worshipers” are the worst.

Oh snap. I just read he broke his nose and had to get 3 stitches.

I would say something empathetic but then I wouldn’t be true to myself. So, I’ll just say, darn it, I wish I had seen that in person.

@Bitch, please!:

No, I just tire of your self loathing commentary like “two men weren’t built to have sex with each other” opinions. You don’t understand…a lot, and that’s par for the course.
