1) It’s the good-looking man in the red bandanna! You can bet the house will be packed when Butler native and diehard Steelers fan Bret Michaels revisits his home turf for a gig at Jergel’s Rhythm Grille. Michaels, born Bret Michael Sychak, has won fame in practically every way available. In addition to the solo career he launched in 1998 he’s been a founding member and longtime lead vocalist of the glam-metal rockers Poison. He wrote, directed, and starred in the movie A Letter from Death Row, with his friend and colleague Charlie Sheen. He impressed Donald Trump sufficiently to win “The Celebrity Apprentice 3.” Michaels has had his own reality TV shows, and, um … oh yeah, along with playing a half-dozen instruments, he can sing. Expect to hear him doing metal/country hits like “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” maybe “The App Song,” and more. With special guests The Stickers. 8 p.m. 285 Northgate Dr., Warrendale. (MV)

2) Cappy’s Cafe in Shadyside is holding a Team Trivia contest tonight with Trivia Master John. 9 – 11 p.m. Yuengling draft special is $3 for a 20 oz. brew. 5431 Walnut St.

3) Spectre – This is the last time Daniel Craig will be appearing as James Bond. (Or, rather, he said in a recent interview that the only way he’d play Bond again is if they paid him a lot of money. Considering that he got $17 million for Skyfall, exactly how much does he consider “a lot” to be?) This time around Bond is investigating an evil, secret group known as SPECTRE. Meanwhile on the home front, British politicians are trying to shut down the Secret Service. Christoph Waltz is the villain, with Ralph Fiennes as “M,” Ben Whishaw as “Q” and Andrew Scott as “C.” (I’m not making that up.) Sam Mendes, the director of Skyfall, returns as well. Check Fandango for screens and times. (TH)
