Bret Michaels denies hooking up with Miley Cyrus' mom

Poison frontman Bret Michaels says that despite the rumors, he did not sleep with Tish Cyrus and he is not the reason she split from Billy Ray Cyrus after 17 years.

Bret was on Fox & Friends when asked about the gossip. "The answer is no," he said. "I've been friends with her family forever. It started out with me and Miley simply working on a song together. Her mom, Tish, likes Every Rose Has Its Thorn, the first concert Miley ever saw was Poison, and so they wanted to remake it for the new record."

"When I was in the studio, Miley came in and sang on my song … and that was it," he added.

So there you have it: Bret Michaels did not talk dirty to Tish.
