Donald Trump claims to be in touch with people at the hospital where Bret Michaels remains in critical condition after suffering a brain hemorrhage.

He tells TMZ the 47-year-old rocker — who is currently competing on Trump’s The Celebrity Apprentice (which was filmed several months ago) — is in “big, big trouble and the prognosis is not great.”

Although Michaels’ reps haven’t confirmed Trump’s remarks, he says Michaels’ issue stems from the 63rd annual Tony Awards last June when the Poison front man was hit in the head by a piece of scenery.

Over the weekend, Trump told UsMagazine.com: “I am deeply saddened to hear about Bret Michaels and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time. He’s a great competitor and champion and I hope he will be fine.”

On Monday, Michaels’ team — which over the weekend said the rocker was suffering from slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness — called him “a fighter and survivor.” They added that he is “under the best medical care possible.”

An update from Michaels’ doctors is expected as soon as they find the cause of the bleeding in the his brain.

“As of now Bret remains in ICU under 24 hour surveillance,” a statement read. “Further testing this week will help locate the source of the bleeding. Look for an official medical report from doctors this week here at BretMichaels.com.”

There is no denying Cheryl Burke and her partner — and rumored romantic interest — Chad Ochocinco have great chemistry on the dance floor, but when it comes to costumes and counting calories, their opinions definitely clash. “Chad would seriously dance naked if it were allowed,” Cheryl tells In Touch of the football player. “He loves to show off his beautiful body.” Cheryl prefers choosing looks inspired by gowns celebrities wore on the red carpet. “My rumba costume was styled after a dress Angelina Jolie wore on the red carpet,” she explains.

As far as diet, Cheryl tells In Touch Chad is “naturally in really good shape” and can eat McDonald’s every day, while she follows a much cleaner program. “I eat lean meats and lots of veggies and focus on having small meals throughout the day to keep my metabolism burning and my energy up for our eight-hour rehearsals,” she says.

But in a few hours, this dynamic duo will put all their differences aside to perform what’s sure to be a hot and sexy Argentine tango on the sixth week of Dancing With the Stars.

Whitney Houston may have performed her megahit “I Will Always Love You” at her sold-out London concert on Sunday – but apparently scores of her fans didn’t share the sentiment.

Despite paying up to $170 a ticket, disappointed concertgoers streamed out of the singer’s show at the O2 Arena after Houston failed to hit the high notes and she rasped her way through several attempts at the song. To her credit, the singer, 46, knew she was disappointing the crowd, and she shook her head and tried to reassure the audience.

“Oh, it’s going to come,” Houston announced mid-song. “I wanna do it – but [my voice] just doesn’t want to. I have long talks with her. Well, tonight she’s getting a little temperamental.”

Houston, whose European tour has been plagued by her respiratory illness, also blamed her vocal troubles on the venue’s air-conditioning, which she told fans “turned my soprano off.” (Houston also cited the a/c as the cause of similar problems at her Birmingham, England, show weeks before.)

For real fans, though, the singer’s apparent performance troubles were no problem at all. Many were just thrilled to see her in the U.K. again, since her last official tour date in the British capital in 1999.

“She was incredibly brave to come out and perform,” concert attendee Maria Montague told People at the show. “Even though she struggled at times, I think she did well considering what’s she’s been through.”

According to longtime fan Kevin Hughes: “The voice has definitely deteriorated, but the showmanship and the sheer entertainment value is still there. She’s still a star.”

The British press, however, didn’t quite agree.

A Daily Mail critic said the performance “went from bad to worse,” and said Houston’s voice “was a former shadow of what it used to be.” And a report in The Sun said Houston’s performance and vocal troubles “highlighted the superstar’s dramatic decline.”

A rep for Houston could not be reached for comment.

Still, the singer’s ardent admirers praised her for taking the stage – and admitting her own weaknesses. “I think it was a very honest performance,” fan Howard Griffiths told People. “She didn’t try to hide anything … it was honest.”

Alexander Skarsgard has a simple rule when it comes to dates: Focus on the girl, not the activity.

“I try not to plan it out,” the True Blood star, 33, told People on Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his new movie Metropia in New York. “It has a tendency to get a little stiff and contrived if you work on it too hard. So, I try to be spontaneous.”

But surely a girl will appreciate going to a big event like, say, the Coachella music festival?

“It’s not about what you do, but who you do it with – that’s most important,” says Skarsgard, who has been linked with his Straw Dogs costar Kate Bosworth. “If you are with someone who is awesome and having a good time, you can sit at a bus station and still have fun.”

Not only is Skarsgard spontaneous, he’s also comfortable in his own skin – a good thing, considering the amount of nudity on True Blood. The actor says he doesn’t remind removing his clothes, despite being teased about it occasionally by his five brothers and one sister.

“I’m not a prude at all,” he says. “I shot a very, very graphic scene two days ago with a man. I am from Sweden, and it’s different there. If it makes sense, I’ll just do it. And to me, so far, it’s made sense every single time I’ve got naked or made out on the show.”

One of Skarsgard’s favorite activities when he’s not on the set? Following the Hammarby soccer team from Stockholm, Sweden, where he grew up. “They are not very good but that’s my passion,” he says. “I try to go home a couple of times and go see them play … It’s a big thing for me.”

It looks like Snooki is going for round two. The Jersey Shore star, who was punched in the face on the controversial first season of the MTV reality show, was kicked out of a bar in South Beach this weekend after getting into a fight with another customer.

Snooki (real name Nicole Polizzi) and her costars are filming season 2 in Miami and have shot scenes at the popular bar Ocean’s 10 in the past month. On Saturday night, however, things got out of hand.

After drinking shots with fellow cast member Jenni “JWOWW” Farley, the newly single Snooki got upset when a guy at the bar tried to pick her up. She mouthed off to him, using cuss words, and he returned the favor, a observer tells People.

“Then Snooki got really mad and threw both food and a glass of water on the guy,” a bar source says. “It got really ugly and continued with both of them cussing out loud. So we kicked them out.”

The altercation was captured on video and posted on Radaronline.com.

While Snooki and her costars have been photographed having a good time around Miami, another source tells People, “The cast is wearing out its welcome in South Beach.”

Randy and Evi Quaid pressed their luck with a Santa Barbara, Calif., court – and lost.

The couple were sent to jail Monday by a judge for missing hearings in their felony case. They had been wanted as fugitives.

“They failed to make multiple court appearances so they were taken into custody this morning,” Santa Barbara court spokesman Gary Blair tells People.

Bail was set for $100,000 each, with their next court date set for Wednesday.

The pair originally were arrested in Marfa, Texas, in September 2009 after allegedly skipping out on a more than $10,000 bill at the exclusive San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara.

Although they have since paid their outstanding bill, prosecutors say a crime was still committed.

Their lawyer, Robert Sanger, had no comment.
