  1. Ok, maybe he did it, maybe he didn’t.

    Here’s what I know for sure…..

    If you are rich, if you are famous, or even if you are just an average ordinary guy…..this is what you must do in today’s world.

    Make sure that you have a signed and notarized document drawn up before you even think of using you “lower” head for anything.
    Make sure that the document states that any sexual encounter is consentual and that all parties involved are known to be disease free.And make absolutely sure that you spell out, in advance, how the child support issue will be handled (in case of an accident).

    Too many “gold diggers” out there boys…..be afraid…be very afraid!

  2. Innocent until proven guilty but we all know that its really the opposite, especially for a celebrity. If he did it, he should pay the price. If he didn’t, I feel sorry for him to have to go thru all of this.

    How does this impact Poison?

    Well, the band is over if Rikki isn’t there, I doubt he’d be replaced. It’s bad enough the band is booking smaller venues this time around, now this could impact the tour. Good thing Bret has a solo career and Bobby invests his money. I’d worry about CC if Poison hits the skids.

  3. I smell extortion here BIG time. and how convenient Poison are on tour and in the lime light again. He slept with some slag and probably can’t even remember it and now she is seeing $$$ signs and claiming rape… sorry I don’t buy it.
    If Gene Simmons creates some kind of scandal like this you can be guaranteed it’s for cash and he has his lawyers present :P
