Bret Michaels' painful misstep

Bret Michaels may have to take out his extensions for a bit while his head heals. The eternal bachelor had a run-in with some stage scenery at Sunday night's Tony Awards.

Michaels and his band Poison performed Nothin' But a Good Time with the cast of Rock of Ages, which celebrates 1980s hair music. As Michaels exited the stage, he glanced back to his fans, and a descending set piece knocked him to the ground. Check it out on YouTube; it looks nasty.

Tonys spokeswoman Christina Stejskal says the rocker ``missed his mark.''

The shaken Rock of Love star also missed numerous afterparties because he was getting X-rays. Publicist Joann Mignano says Michaels fractured his nose and had to get three stitches in his lip.

How's this for eerie? David Carradine will appear on Fox's new medical drama Mental 9 p.m. Tuesday, as planned.

The late 72-year-old Kung Fu legend -- who was found hanging in his Bangkok hotel room last week -- plays a famous professor who lapses into a catatonic state after being struck by lightning.

Thai police said Monday that his cause of death would not be known until they had the results of the autopsy and toxicology tests in a month.
