Nashville Star

Bret Michaels, lead singer of the rock band Poison, has been named the third and final celebrity judge for Nashville Star, USA Network’s grassroots talent search series to find the next country music superstar. Michaels will join show host LeAnn Rimes and previously announced judges Phil Vassar and Anastasia Brown for the third season of the show, which will premiere on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, from 10:00 – 11:00 PM (ET/PT) on USA Network. The show also continues its commitment to booking the hottest guest artists for its third season with a list of some of the most popular names in country music today. The announcement was made today by Jeff Wachtel, executive vice president, original programming, USA Network. “Having sold over 25 million records, Bret Michaels is one of the best-known and longest-running successes in the music business,” said Wachtel. “But what will surprise his fans, is that he has always had one foot firmly planted in country music. He has the crossover appeal that we are looking for in our judges panel this season.”

Montgomery Gentry, the Charlie Daniels Band and Sara Evans are among the artists scheduled to guest-star and perform on the show. Additional artists will be announced throughout the season, which also promises several surprise guests.


The grand prizewinner of the third season of Nashville Star will be awarded a recording contract from Universal South Records.

Michaels also formed a production company with Charlie Sheen in which he wrote, directed and starred in several of the films. Michaels has appeared in numerous television shows including CBS ‘s “Yes Dear” and “Martial Law,” Showtime’s “The Chris Isaak Show,” and has also co-hosted “Access Hollywood ” with Pat O’Brien and has appeared on VH1’s “Rock Bodies” with Beyonce Knowles.
