Jon Bon Jovi Does Good Deed! This is the latest program offered through Bon Jovi’s Soul Foundation and Jon says, "There's no prices on our menu, so if you want to come and you want to make a difference, leave a $20 in the envelope on the table. If you can't afford to eat, you can bus tables, you can wait tables, you can work in the kitchen as a dishwasher or sous chef.” Bon Jovi and his wife are hands on and also volunteer in the kitchen and what use to be a gravel driveway in the front of the restaurant is now a beautiful garden full of vegetables and herbs! Bon Jovi added Wednesday at the kitchen's opening, "This is a place based on and built on community -- by and for the community." Way to go Jon! Good deed done!

Bon Jovi Greatest Hits and Live DVD Set for Fall 2009 The band last CD ‘Lost Highway’ was a huge hit for Bon Jovi but Sambora is clear that the band wants to move on, "We have to change. We have to do something different," he said. "I don't know what that's going to be. As we get into the writing process and continue on, we'll see what that's going to look like. I think it comes to stylistically what songs you're writing. What kind of music is coming out of you, and what's the mood of those songs. You have to color those little drawings with the right production value and the right music." Triumph, the Dog could not be reached for comment. – by Chelsie Dickson |

December 20, 2011 – If death rumors are started to give us all freakin’ heart attacks then I would say mission accomplished to the jerk-ass who had us believe that singer Jon Bon Jovi was dead yesterday. As they say “oops, I crapped my pants!” 
October 23, 2011 - Last week Jon Bon Jovi opened up a “pay what you can afford” restaurant in Red Bank, N.J. with the help of his wife, Dorothea. The restaurant called the “Soul Kitchen” was actually a former auto body shop that they transformed into an eating establishment. Customers are asked to pay what they can and in return receive gourmet- type meals in a cozy, upscale environment without the feeling of visiting a soup kitchen. 
April 28, 2011 – Looks like Bon Jovi’s Ritchie Sambora has fallen off the wagon! The guitarist has checked himself into rehab. 
Nov. 29, 2008 – The Live Earth show scheduled for Sunday December 7th has been cancelled due to the Mumbai shootings. Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am were all set to perform at the charity.
Nov. 19, 2008 – Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora says the band will be busy for the next while preparing projects that will only see the light of day in late 2009. "We've been filming a documentary and are in the process of mixing a live DVD of last year's Lost Highway concert tour," he told Billboard. There’s also a Greatest Hits package for release next year and some new tunes which Sambora says are being written right now with John Bon Jovi for a new album. |
