Bret Michaels exposes his six-pack, says it's real

We know -- you probably woke up this morning wondering what Bret Michaels looks like naked.No? Oh, sorry. For a minute we thought it was 1988. We're glad he's healthy and still rocking out, but we don't really need to see all of him.
Twenty years after peak heartthrob status, Michaels appears on the cover of Billboard Magazine clad only in his bandanna, which we're pretty sure is glued to his head at this point. His six-pack abs inspired some skeptics to accuse the mag of some pretty drastic retouching, but photographer Blair Bunting insists that he went easy on the airbrush.
The before and after pics are above. We think they just added a little bit of chiseling around his hips, and somehow made his face look older by altering the coloring.
To get ready for the shoot, Michaels says, "I didn't eat for a day and I did about 2,000 sit-ups."

Why is this guy so popular?? He hasn't had a hit song since the 80's!!!!
ok, frankly I am sick of hearing and seeing anything relating to this skeez but how do they think darkening him up is flattering??? He just looks fatter
It's gross. He has a weird body.
i agree, they made him look fatter and fake in a weird way.
Too bad he doesn't have any arms or pecs to go with them.
Ick....and enough with the fake hair and bandana.
bret i love you
So he didn't eat for a day to prepare for the photo? Brett, do you need to be reminded that you're diabetic?!
Ewwwwww he is really old and this pic makes him look disgustingly aged
looks enhanced and seriously a diabetic starving himself for a day what kind of message is he sending
Idiot
Six pack? Looks more like a four pack and a keg.
