Bret Michaels remains in intensive care after suffering a brain hemorrhage, but further testing is scheduled to help locate the source of the bleeding, his website said.

Thanks to taped reality TV shows, he also remains as a contestant to become Donald Trump's next "Celebrity Apprentice."

At the end of Sunday's episode, an announcer acknowledged Michaels' illness -- published reports say he is bleeding at the base of his brain stem -- and said everyone at NBC "wishes Bret Michaels a speedy recovery."

A report from Michael's from doctors is expected this week. The 47-year-old rocker's site doesn't say where Michaels is hospitalized.

"Please remember Bret is, and always has been, a fighter and survivor and is under the best medical care possible," the post added.

Michaels' New York-based publicist, Joann Mignano, confirmed on Friday a report on People magazine's website that said the former Poison frontman was rushed to intensive care late Thursday after a severe headache. Doctors discovered bleeding at the base of his brain stem, the report said.

On Donald Trump's competitive reality show, Michaels, who is competing to raise money for his charity, diabetes research, has served as one of the season's most outspoken celebrities and has so far avoided being fired in the boardroom.

Michaels had an emergency appendectomy April 12 after complaining of stomach pains before he was scheduled to perform at Sea World in San Antonio. Michaels later wrote on his website that although the surgery "has taken its toll," doctors expected him to make a full recovery.

Before joining the third season of "The Celebrity Apprentice," Michaels starred as the lothario on VH1's lusty reality dating series "Rock of Love" from 2007 to 2009. For three seasons, Michaels searched for the women of his dreams amid a sea of implants, tattoos and thongs. He also served as a judge on the fifth season of the USA singing competition "Nashville Star" in 2007.

Looks like VH1 will have to find another person to degrade women.

Watching him on The Celebrity Apprentice, I've noticed that he's such a down to earth guy and really cares about people, his family and his charity. Having never been a fan of Poison, I totally respect the guy. Hope he gets well.

This is the most viewed story on CBS? hahahaha! No wonder everyone thinks that Sarah Palin knows what she is talking about. Way to go people magazine! Oh, wait. This is cbs NEWS.

With two wars, a financial collapse, near 10% unemployment, corruption at an all time high, I am shocked that this is the most viewed story.

Everything that you mention is so dang depressing. Of course, Bret Michael's news isn't uplifting either.

I'M A BIG FAN OF BRETTS AND ALL YOU WHO ARE MAKING SMART AZZ COMMENTS ARE LITTLE PUNKS. MAYBE WE SHOULD WISH THAT ON A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY AND MAKE FUN OF THEM. MY WISH WOULD BE FOR BRETT TO MAKE A SPEEDY RECOVERY AND COME BACK. I WILL LEAVE THIS WORLD WITH GREAT MEMORIES OF POISON. EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORN AND RIGHT NOW IT'S YOU HATERS.

Our Pastor's wife went through the exact same thing and, through prayer and careful monitoring by the doctors, she is fine and back singing in the choir! So everyone join the family in prayer and then you have to believe.
