Legendary television game show host, Bob Barker, is resisting retirement for as long as possible. After retiring after his 50-year stint in television, Barker is making an appearance once again. According to perezhilton.com, 85-year-old Barker will be returning to The Price is Right next month.

Instead of hosting this time around, Barker is making a special appearance to promote his newest money-making venture. He will be promoting his new autobiography, entitled Priceless Memories. The book features stories from his early life as well as stories and experiences from his television career.

Barker has hosted 6,500 episodes of The Price is Right, and this promotional episode will tape next Wednesday and air on April 16. He hosted the game show from 1972 to 2007, making it the longest-running daytime game show in North American television history.

And for all the lucky audience members, Barker will also be giving away his book to all that attend. Other fans will have to wait until April 6 for the official release of the autobiography.

Poison frontman Bret Michaels has been dabbling in the world of reality TV in recent years, and now he’s adding another venture to his resume: writing.

Michaels’ autobiography, “Roses And Thorns: The Rock ‘N’ Fantasy To My Reality,” will hit stores this June via Simon & Shuster, and the singer is promising to tell all.

“It will give people the untold story,” Michaels told Billboard. “It gives you the sex, the drugs, the rock ‘n’ roll, but it also gives you the diabetes. It gives you every aspect of my life and what I’m going through.”

Michaels (who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of six) says the book will delve into his time with Poison, particularly his volatile relationship with the glam metal group’s guitarist, CeCe Deville.

Michaels may be best known to TV viewers as the star of the VH1 reality dating series “Rock of Love with Bret Michaels,” which is currently in its third cycle. He has also served as a judge on the talent show “Nashville Star.”

Aside from working on a new solo album, Michaels is preparing to hit the road with Poison for a summer tour alongside Def Leppard and Cheap Trick. One Canadian stop is on the schedule, July 4 at Toronto’s Molson Amphitheatre.

George Michael has a lot of stories to tell, and he will now be given the opportunity to share them in a “no-holds-barred” autobiography.

Michael has signed a multimillion-pound deal with HarperCollins to pen the autobiography “entirely himself,” reports the UK Press Association.

Michael has had a turbulent personal and professional life, filled with tabloid drama. The book will reveal Michael’s side of the stories we all know, as well as some juicy secrets. “People aren’t stupid, they’re beginning to notice that the truth is more interesting than the stories the press come up with,” Michael’s manager said.

Look for “one of the hottest remaining untold celebrity memoirs” to be released next fall.
