Bret Michaels denied Tuesday he was responsible for Billy Ray Cyrus' achy breaky heart. Well, he didn't actually say "achy breaky heart," but he denied having an affair with Tish Cyrus, Billy Ray's wife and mom to starlet Miley.

Asked about the rumors that he was behind the breakup of the Cyruses' 17-year marriage, the Poison frontman reportedly told Fox & Friends: "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 said, according to People.com. See the full story at: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20440685,00.html

Michaels has had quite the year with repeat hospitalizations after a brain hemorrhage and later a warning stroke, as well as a win on "Celebrity Apprentice." The "Rock of Love" reality TV veteran has left a trail of broken hearts of the heavily tattooed and surgically enhanced variety, but several reports say after his health troubles he reconciled with the mother of his two girls.
