Bret Michaels has revealed that he is in talks with American Idol to replace Simon Cowell as a judge on the show. Bret made his first live appearance after suffering a brain hemorrhage on American Idol‘s Finale. Now Bret admits he is meeting with producers to discuss the idea of him becoming a judge.

Bret tells Parade.com:

“We have a meeting in L.A. in a couple weeks and we’re going to sit down and talk. They did a poll and I think it was Madonna, P. Diddy, Howard Stern and myself, and I took 50 percent or 60 percent of the vote and that’s tremendous. I would love to be a judge on American Idol. I think I would bring a lot to the table.

“Bring Bret Michaels in to be original… Bring someone who can bring a little grit, true grit, back to the show.”
