LOS ANGELES, CA � December 5, 2008 � VH1 is giving fans a glimpse of rock and roll on the road with "Rock of Love Bus With Bret Michaels" premiering Sunday, January 4 at 9PM*. Get a sneak peak at the sexy new ladies everyone will be talking about in January this Friday, December 5, as the VH1 Blog (www.Blog.VH1.com) will have exclusive pictures of the cast of "Rock of Love Bus." Viewers can also get a sneak peak of what's to come on the wilder-than-ever new season, as well as never-before-seen footage, on www.bretmichaels.com.

This time around, Bret is bringing the women along as he travels America for a month-long solo album tour, "Rock My World," to show them what the rock star life has to offer in the first time ever that a reality dating show has gone on the road. And it gets crazy; fans are in store for the show's wildest season yet�so wild, in fact, that some of the footage will probably never see the light of day. As Bret rolls into each town in his pimped-out black tour bus, he will take viewers to the extreme, as a pink bus filled with beautiful blondes and a blue bus filled with gorgeous brunettes competing for his heart will follow close behind.

In past seasons, Bret made it clear that life on tour with a rock star is not easy and can present unique challenges. So, each time the buses pull into a new city the girls will take on challenges specifically relating to Bret's life on the road. They may have to greet aggressive groupies with polite smiles, dodge the advances of the warm-up band, or even fill in for mysteriously missing roadies. From ice hockey and Mud Bowl 3 to a sexy dance off and working backstage, the girls get down and dirty, as each one strives to stand out among the rest. Bret has seen wild things happen on the show but this history - making season, he says, was truly insane!

The winner of each challenge will be rewarded with a date showcasing the best of what middle America has to offer--perhaps a toast atop the St. Louis Arch or a romantic picnic in the shadow of the world's largest chicken. For some, however, the challenges will prove too much and they will have to face eliminations and at least one girl will be left at each stop. Whatever the case may be, these girls will definitely be put to the test to win over Bret and handle the crazy life of a rock star girlfriend. In the end, there is only one VIP pass for Bret's true "Rock of Love."

Bret released his highly anticipated full-length solo album "Rock My World" on JUNE 3, 2008 from VH1 Classic Records which debuted at # 39 on the Billboard charts.
