The anchors of Good Day New York have dubbed Bret Michaels the new Balloon Boy! The rocker has been accused of “faking” his recent health woes for publicity.

The former frontman of glam metal band Poison shocked American Idol viewers when he braved deteriorating health to appear as one of the surprise performers on Wednesday night’s Idol finale. He shared the stage with top-three finalist Casey James as the two sang a duet of Poison’s hit ’80s song “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.”

The performance was a huge triumph for Michaels, who has cheated death countless times in the past four weeks. He was hospitalized twice in April; once for an appendectomy and a second time just one week later with an almost fatal brain hemorrhage. As if that weren’t enough to deal with — Bret was admitted to the hospital again last week for what’s been called a “warning stroke.”

He even has a hole in his heart! (He’s set to undergo surgery for that this fall.)

It’s all a little too “Hallmark Movie of the Week” for the anchors of the Big Apple’s Good Day New York. In fact, during this morning’s broadcast, the news team was vocal about their inability to buy Bret’s claims of “miraculous recovery.” HIT PLAY For An Earful Of The Tomfoolery:

Filing this under: “Oblivious Asshats Who Need To Zip Their Lips!” Keep on singng, Bret!
