HOLLYWOOD - Richie Sambora is set to replace Bret Michaels in the next season of TV dating show Rock of Love, according to reports.
Poison frontman Michaels recently wrapped season two when he chose aspiring actress Ambre Lake as the winner and his new girlfriend.
Despite the first season being exposed as a fraud--the winning contestant already had a boyfriend--Michaels and Lake insist this time it is for real, and they are handing the show over to another single star.
Bon Jovi guitarist Sambora, 48, has been single since his April 2007 divorce from actress Heather Locklear and a short-lived romance with Locklear's former friend Denise Richards ended last year.
And TV bosses want to help him find love. A source tells OK! magazine, "He's perfect for TV. If you thought Bret was must-see TV, you ain't seen anything yet. Richie is going to be a train wreck looking for love."
