This week 80's hair-metal front man Brett Michaels had "nothing but a bad time" having suffered a broken nose and busted lip at last Sunday's Tony Awards. After wrapping up a performance with his band Poison, Michaels started walking off stage only to be "unskinny bop bopped" by a set piece, which fell squarely on his face! Michaels is awaiting to see what the "CAT-scan drags in" before knowing for certain if he's going to be okay.

Pop diva Cher is hoping her daughter Chastity Bono will be okay after Bono announced this week that "if she could turn back time" she'd rather be "just like Jesse James". Chastity has already begun the sex change that will transform her into a man who will go by the name "Chaz".

While Cher may find all this hard to "believe", more shocking would have to be Gene Simmons passing a kidney stone and then selling it on Ebay for $15,000! Even with the proceeds going to charity, Gene "sure knows something" about making money. Maybe we'll see more of this on Gene's reality show "Family Jewels", which just started it's 4th season.

You know, now that Chaz Bono is getting some "family jewels" of his own, maybe it's time he and his mom returned to television, only this time it'll be the "Cher and Sonny" show.
