When Michael Bolton's back on his feet again, the formerly long-haired crooner is hoping to bring some time, love and tenderness to daytime television. Industry reports have Bolton pitching a show to syndicators this week.

Modestly described on his website as a "singer, songwriter and social activist," Bolton is hoping to dominate mornings or afternoons by the fall of 2005.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the possible series is being targeted at women 25-54 as an issue-oriented talker, in which the multiple Grammy winner discusses entertainment and news issues, while also greeting a variety of guests.

Between his earliest incarnation as rocker Michael Bolotin in the 1970s and his '80s and '90s incarnation as an easy listening belter, Bolton has sold over 52 million copies of his albums and singles worldwide. He won pop male vocal performance Grammys in 1989 for "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" and in 1991 for "When a Man Loves a Woman."

Bolton will be seen this summer in VH1's "I Love the '90s."

Soon, viewers won't have to ask Bolton how they're supposed to live without him. How they're supposed to live with him is a different issue.
