On the heels of news that Bret Michaels and longtime girlfriend, Kristi Gibson, have ended their engagement, Michaels' rep says the Poison front man is considering a return to reality television -- but it's not for another dating show.
Michaels' rep says Donald Trump has asked him to compete on the upcoming "Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars," reports TMZ. He hasn't yet officially committed to the show, though.
Now that Michaels is single again, rumors have sprung up that the rocker would be returning to his reality roots with another season of the VH1 dating show "Rock of Love." But his rep says no dice.
"Anyone who knows Bret's family and knows him as a father and a friend would truly understand that he is hurting over the separation and the last thing he is thinking about is doing a dating show," the rep tells TMZ.

Looks like all is not rosy between Bret Michaels and his longtime girlfriend, Kristi Gibson: The pair have called off their engagement, according to Michaels' rep.
"Although the couple have separated they remain great friends and are committed to jointly raising their two daughters," the "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" singer's rep tells People.
Michaels and Gibson are parents to Raine Elizabeth, 12, and Jorja Bleu, 7. The couple got engaged in December 2010 after more than 16 year together. Michaels' proposal aired on the finale of his VH1 reality show, "Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It."
We're assuming the split could make its way into the biopic the Poison frontman is reportedly developing.
"Mostly, when you see rock movies, it has to be this over-the-top thing," Michaels tells the Columbus Dispatch. "I want to give people a Bret Michaels movie where they see that my life is a comedy of errors.

Poison frontman and reality television manwhore Bret Michaels proposed to his girlfriend, Kristi Gibson, during the finale of VH1's Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It" last night.
He's been with Kristi on and off for 16 years (from the looks of all those Rock of Love girls, I'd say more "off") and they have two children together.
Bret made a cheesy speech while Kristi just lounged on the couch with an unimpressed look on her face. After he popped the question, she asked him, "Are you sure?"
"I love you and I respect you and you've been through so much with me," he said. "It means something to me."
