Jon performing at ‘Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together’
Jon Bon Jovi is speaking out in more detail about his daughter Stephanie Bongiovi’s arrest and alleged heroin overdose while in college.
Jon’s daughter and a friend were arrested mid-November at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. Although charges were soon dropped (due to recently-amended state laws) and Stephanie recovered from the overdose at a hospital, Jon is still left struggling from the ramifications. Continue reading
Jon Bon Jovi is speaking out about his daughter Stephanie Bongiovi’s arrest and alleged heroin overdose while in college.
Charges against Bongiovi were soon dropped after her arrest but the ramifications of the incident still remain for the family.
Jon told Fox 11: “What I do for a living seems glitzy and glamorous, but if you don’t take it too seriously, it’s a great way to make a living.” Jon added, “And then life goes on. Things happen.”
“This tragedy was something that I had to face too so we’ll get through it,” Bon Jovi continued. “And people’s warm wishes for my family and I have been really reassuring. So, we’re good.”
NBC aired its Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together benefit telethon Friday night to raise money for victims of the natural disaster hitting most of the East Coast earlier this week.
The hour-long and commercial-free broadcast paraded a slew of celebrities donating their collaborative time for the effort. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Jon Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Billy Joel and Christina Aguilera were among the many who helped raise donations for American Red Cross hurricane relief efforts. Continue reading
Usher is NOT dead, no matter what Twitter users want you to believe.
I am in a pretty bad mood today. So, this was not the best day for an idiot out there in the world to falsely claim the demise of my favorite musician and humanitarian, Jon Bon Jovi.
JBJ is the latest celebrity to fall prey to a death hoax, this time, by an a-hole who works for a loser blog. This loser blog which wont be named here hence I give it any more traffic, “reported” that Bon Jovi was found unconscious in a room at the Empress Hotel in Asbury Park, N.J., and later pronounced dead at Jersey Shore Medical Center.

I’ve always been a fan of Jon Bon Jovi – his music, his concert booty shaking and most importantly, his philanthropy!
Just when I think he can’t outdo himself, Jon surprises me and one ups everything and everyone else. This time, the singer has opened a restaurant featuring healthy foods and which allows customers to “pay what you can.” Jon explained, “When I learned that one in six people in this country goes to bed hungry, I thought this was the next phase of the (Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation’s) work.”
To eat there, one can pay whatever amount they can afford or, better yet, volunteer for the restaurant or the local food bank.
But don’t go to the Soul Kitchen expecting to see The Man doing any of the cooking, though you may just catch Jon doing something behind the scenes. “I’m an expert at washing dishes,” Jon explains, “but I can cook less than zero … But picture the coolest brasserie in your hometown, that’s what this is. It’s the hottest-looking restaurant in this town.”
Modern Family star Sofia Vergara graces the cover of this month’s Redbook magazine and talks about her boyfriend, possibility of babies, and Jon Bon Jovi.
Sofia feels like a lucky women these days with two Emmy nominations under her belt, starring in a super successful prime time show and dating her cute boyfriend, politician Nick Loeb.
On motherhood, then, and now:
“When I had Manolo, I was 19, and I had the energy for everything. My boyfriend now wants to have kids, and I don’t even want to think about it. I would have to get into that mind-set again, the waking up early.”
On when she accepted her now famous curves:
“The thing is, I’ve had these ridiculously huge boobs since I was super young. Like, 13. I was really skinny at that time, so it was weird to have those f—ing boobs and be skinny. It was hideous. Then after I had my kid, I got hips and everything started to come together.”
On helping Modern Family writers:
“When Modern Family was just beginning, I’d have to tell the writers what I thought would be better for me to say. Most of them are American men, so to write for a Latin woman is not as natural for them as writing for Julie [Bowen], for example. Because they have wives like Julie, sisters like Julie, you know what I mean? But now they’re so good, they’re like hot Latin girls!”
On Jon Bon Jovi:
“When I was going to film [upcoming movie] New Year’s Eve with Jon Bon Jovi—I mean, in Columbia, he is the biggest thing. I grew up being in love with him. So when I saw him, I was like, “Oh, my God, it’s Bon Jovi!” But when he saw me, he was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s Gloria!” Its just insane.”

| Richie Sambora and me 🙂 |
Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi’s guitarist, allegedly checked himself into rehab last week, but as they say, and as incredulous as it sounds with this band, the show must go on for Bon Jovi without Sambora. So, the unthinkable happened. The band started a new tour anyway without a partial heart and soul of the group and headlined the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on Saturday (April 30).
But it is sadly so. Phil “X” Xenidis filled in for Sambora. Bon Jovi started the show with Blood on Blood and then ripped right into You Give Love A Bad Name. Per Rolling Stone, Xenidis subbed in “admirably, picking up Sambora’s talk box parts and adding muscle to a show that only got better and better, especially in its last hour.”
In response to questions about Richie Sambora & Bon Jovi’s upcoming performance schedule, the band released this statement on their Facebook page April 28:
“Our support for Richie is absolute. He is, and will remain, a member of Bon Jovi. Although he will be absent from upcoming shows for the time being, we very much look forward to his healthy return. In the meantime, we will keep our commitment to our fans and continue our tour.”
