While watching “We Are The World” during one of the endless loops of Michael Jackson-related video ephemera that aired this weekend, I thought about how the whole idea of the star-studded charity tribute single had pretty much sputtered out over the course of this decade. Imagine my surprise when Jon Bon Jovi–no stranger to using his songs toward charitable ends–came along to kind of underscore my point this afternoon! More »
A letter from VH1 lands in the mailbag: “There is no truth to the rumor that Richie Sambora will participate in Rock of Love.” Aw, nuts. On the bright side, this opens up the field to any number of Rocklahoma-playing band members. (Heh, heh, I said “members.” More »

Richie Sambora should be visiting Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab, but it looks like he’ll be hitting up a dozen floozies for the love and support that Heather Locklear and Denise Richards couldn’t provide instead. Yes, that’s right: The Bon Jovi guitarist will allegedly replace Bret Michaels for season three of Rock Of Love. The bandanna-wearing Poison frontman claims that he’s really found love with season two winner Ambre Lake, which means that his schedule is clear for him to turn his attentions to Look What The Cat Dragged In, a sitcom on MyNetwork TV about a party-hearty rocker who moves in with his uptight lawyer brother in Beverly Hills, played by Alan Ruck. Well, at least I’m hoping that happens.
There is so much wrong with what went down at the Bon Jovi concert in Denver last night. First: Richie Sambora is out on tour less than a week after he was arrested for driving drunk with his daughter in the back seat. Rehab can wait, I guess. Second: Richie got a standing ovation after thanking his fans for their support. Um, yeah. Go you, Richie. Third: The repeated references to standing in this account would imply that people spend most of their time at a Bon Jovi concert sitting down. What’s up with that?!
