Ok, take a deep breath, because I have some awful news for you: Bret Michaels and Rock of Love 2 “winner” Ambre Lake ended their relationship. Not surprisingly, the split came along with an announcement form VH1 that there will be a third installment of the reality show.

“It’s really sad,” says Lake, who explained that conflicting schedules ultimately worked against the couple. “Bret and I truly love each other and support each other. But with him touring so much and me trying to travel and work, we just didn’t have a lot of time to dedicate to our relationship. It was mutual. We’re both bummed.”

In a release from VH1, a rep for the rock star confirmed: “[Bret] and Ambre Lake really tried to make it work and although they still remain close friends, between his tour line-up and her work schedule there’s no time for a relationship.”

Lake adds, “It’s a lot of pressure. We were dating and taking it day by day. We never put a label on us saying, ‘We are boyfriend-girlfriend.’ But when a budding romance is happening like that and you don’t have a lot of time to see each other, you’re being pulled in so many directions.”

The next season will be titled “Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels,” (I hope Bang Bus sues them for copyright infringement) and the unlucky ladies will follow Bret on a month-long tour across the country.

Ambre (who I always want to call “Hombre” because of the effed up spelling of her name), said she wishes Bret luck with the new season, adding, “Third time’s the charm!”

Umkay.
