SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 9 -- VH1 heats up your TV screen this summer with "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels" and "Scott Baio is 45 ... And Single." After a life long streak of dating some of the hottest females in and out of the biz, Scott Baio and Bret Michaels both find themselves single, alone and on a journey to find love. Tune in to witness both bachelors' quest for commitment.

Hot on the heels of VH1's record breaking hits, "Flavor of Love" and "I Love NY" comes a fresh new take on the wildly exciting relationship show. Known as the bandana-clad, blue-eyed lead singer/songwriter of Poison, Bret Michaels has been handpicked to take this series to all-new heights of rock-n- roll insanity! The hard-rockin' front man is looking for a woman who can truly keep up with his rock-n-roll lifestyle and not become jealous of his one true passion - performing -- which has been the reason for and destruction of most of his relationships. As VH1's newest eligible bachelor, a bevy of beauties will vie to win his heart during "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels" premiering on Sunday, July 15 at 9:00 PM.*

Can't wait until July 15? Both series will premiere online on VSPOT at VH1.com, VH1's broadband channel today, one week prior to their on-air debuts. Each week, episodes of both series will be made available on VSPOT following their Sunday night broadcasts. Additional video content for both shows will be available on VSPOT exclusively throughout the season.

Scott Baio has lived a life that all red-blooded American males would sell their big screen TV, car and soul for. He has dated a jaw-dropping roster of sexy ex-girlfriends that would even make Warren Beatty jealous. At 45, Scott finds himself in the midst of a mid-life crisis wondering why he's still single and unable to settle down with his current perfect girlfriend Renee. With nowhere else to turn, Scott has decided to invest in some exhaustive introspection with the highly-regarded life-coach, Dr. Alison Arnold, otherwise known as "Doc Ali." After 8 weeks of self-discovery and confrontations with a laundry list of old flames, Scott must make a decision: will he commit to marrying Renee or to being a life-long bachelor? Viewers will witness Scott Baio's soul-searching journey first hand as he tries to figure out why "Scott Baio is 45 ... And Single" premiering on Sunday, July 15 at 10:30 PM.*
