Bret is the newest Celebrity Apprentice
First Bret had an emergency appendectomy, then a brain hemorrhage, and a warning stroke with subsequent discovery of a hole in heart. But none of his health woes could stop him to make the finale.
Michaels, the frontman of glam rock band Poison, was crowned by Donald Trump as the new Celebrity Apprentice. After winning the title Michaels has the third Celebrity Apprentice.
After completing the task, Michaels invented a Trop-A-Rocka Blend while Peete came up with the Compassionberry Tea. Both finalists won Donald’s heart with their invented tea flavor.
"Bret, I have to tell you, you're hired," Donald told the singer on Sunday night’s ABC show finale.
The rocker moved his way through a Snapple challenge that involved creating a new flavor of Snapple tea, as well as a print ad and a commercial to go with it.

Donald thought both flavors were "fantastic," but in the end, the CEO chose Michaels.
Peete was a winner as well
Michaels beat out former 21 Jump Street queen Holly Robinson Peete to win a $250,000 bonus check for his charity of choice, the American Diabetes Association.
Despite placing at the second place the actress Peete also took home $250,000 for her chosen charity, her own HollyRod Foundation that supports families facing a serious illness.
