Knight Greenstein with friends

greenstein_per.gif

NEW YORK - Few Gyllene Tider/Roxette fans have been in a position to share their love of Per's music with others as much as Scott Greenstein, who as the Chief Content Officer of Sirius XM, is the one who approached Per with the idea for the program that was later named Nordic Rox. As a result of the success of the show in promoting Swedish music in North America, he was — just last week — awarded the insignia of Knight of the Royal Order of the Polar Star by Ambassador Ulf Hjertonsson, Consul General of Sweden in New York (acting on behalf of the King of Sweden), at a ceremony at the Swedish residence on Park Avenue.

NFL players and NBA retirees party on the Strip

Bon Jovi played the Hard Rock's recently-opened Joint on Friday and went down in history as the first act to not sell out at the new venue.

However, Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora made up for the handful of unsold seats with a plethora of grandiose rock star poses spread across their nearly two-hour set.

Sambora later hit the tables at the Hard Rock and tried his luck with a few hands of Black Jack.

Richie Sambora Gives Ava A Lift

Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora, cheered on their daughter Ava Elizabeth, 11, at a soccer match Thursday afternoon. We recently saw the divorced couple watching one of Ava’s games together from the sideline. Towards the end of the game, Ava injured her leg and Sambora, 49, carried his daughter back to her mom’s car.

20090122b.jpg
....for a soccer match, that is. You didn't really think Heather Locklear was going to end that great thing she's got goin' with Jack Wagner, dd you?!

The all-American blonde spent her Thursday afternoon at daughter Ava's soccer game with ex-husband Richie Sambora, who she has been on 'good terms' with since their 2007 divorce.

And, although the couple made sure to arrive, sit, and leave separately, they sure are rockin' the art of putting their kid before divorce and DUI drama.

At one point, 11-year-old Ava injured her foot, so the exes teamed up, with Richie carrying her all the way back to Heather's car.

Maybe there is hope for Kelly Rutherford?

If you like Soho, you'll love Red Bank

Though the Jersey Shore town of Red Bank has always been home to director Kevin Smith, it's much more than the ragtag places, slackers and drifters portrayed in his quirky films like Clerks and Chasing Amy. A ritzy downtown area, with its pristinely maintained old buildings, is home to hip young professionals and cash-heavy commuting bankers and lawyers. "Red Bank is the crown jewel of the Jersey Shore," says Maury Povich, who, along with his wife, Connie Chung, lives in nearby Middletown. "It's a happening town for couples and singles."As for celeb-spotting: Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, who both live just a few miles away, are frequent visitors to the shops, as is Debbie Harry. "Bruce comes and stays here for hours because nobody bothers him," says Kimberly Landau, who owns Coco Pari, a three-story boutique that's a hybrid of Intermix and Bergdorf Goodman.The dining is also top-notch. Swank restaurant Reds and the more casual Downtown Caf� are owned by New York hospitality veterans Daniel Lynch and Matthew Wagman. Just five miles away in Rumson, Maury, Richie Sambora and Geraldo Rivera frequent NYC chef David Burke's Fromagerie. Maury insists, though, "Red Bank's not a pretentious town at all."getting there: The train trip takes one hour and 20 minutes from NYC's Penn Station to Red Bank Station on N.J. Transit; $11.75 one way.

Richie Sambora & Heather Locklear Reunite For Their Daughter

There didn't seem to be any tension between ex-husband and wife Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora as the former couple sat together in bleachers to watch their daughter Ava Elizabeth Sambora playing soccer at the View Point School in Calabasas.

Both Richie and Heather have had a hell of a time since their split, with both of them checking into rehab at different times and getting busted for DUI, although no charges were placed against Heather.

It's clear that even though they appear to be on good terms, Richie and Heather aren't making any kind of effort to impress one another with Locklear showing up in a frumpalicious ensemble, topped off with a beanie and Sambora donning an awkwardly-sized pair of pants on a stripe shirt that shows off this man-boobs to the fullest.

Heather Locklear Misses Daughter While in Treatment

Actress Heather Locklear is continuing to receive treatment in an Arizona facility for depression and anxiety issues. And while Heather Locklear seems to be content with her pro-active decision to receive treatment, that doesn’t mean she’s not missing her ten year-old daughter, Ava.

A friend of Heather Locklear’s spoke to People magazine, and told the magazine that, "The hardest part of all of this is being apart from Ava. But she knows she'll be better than ever, and that they'll both really benefit from this. She's feeling better, but it's tough."

Heather Locklear really does seem to be doing better than ever. While last month Heather’s appearance was called into question when she was visited by boyfriend Jack Wagner and was reported to look, “tired, pale and skinny,” the actress seems to be getting back to her stunning self. Says a source inside the facility, Heather looks "bright-eyed, alert and well-rested. She looks so much better.”

Heather Locklear is also happy that while she may not be able to be by her daughter’s side at the moment, her ex-husband Richie Sambora, Ava’s father, has been able to spend some quality time with his daughter. Says a friend, "Heather's really happy that Ava got to spend time with her dad. The friend also added that Locklear and Sambora are “speaking all the time."

The friend continued, “They really have come through [the breakup – and are] on the other side." Nice to see that these two could work through their problems and be civil- even after Richie Sambora had a relationship with Heather Locklear’s former friend Denise Richards shortly after their divorce. If these two can get along, maybe one day there’s even hope for Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook…then again, maybe not.

Richie Sambora Will Support Heather Locklear

They're no longer together, but Heather Locklear can still count on her ex-husband Richie Sambora.
As Locklear, 46, seeks treatment for depression and anxiety at an Arizona facility, the Melrose Place star has Sambora firmly in her corner, says a friend of the couple, who have a 10-year-old daughter, Ava.
"Without a doubt, he's there for his daughter and her mother," a friend of the Bon Jovi guitarist tells PEOPLE. "They may be divorced, but they are raising a little girl they both love very much."
Sambora, who split from Locklear in 2006 after 12 years of marriage and subsequently dated Locklear's former friend Denise Richards, is currently performing with Bon Jovi in England until June 28. The band is due to finish their tour in the U.S. with a few East Coast dates in July.
Although he's on the road, "I'm sure he's available if Heather should need something and certainly for Ava," says the pal.

But Sambora - who has also struggled to break free of his addictions, which culminated in an arrest for drink-driving in March (08) - insists Tyler is strong enough to fight his demons once and for all.
He says, "I don't think I'm the best person to give Steve advice. Steve is a big boy and he's been through that drill quite a few times.

"I knew that he was having some problems and was on pain medication so I'm guessing he went in for that. Good luck to him."

Sambora to replace Michaels on Rock Of Love?

Richie Sambora is set to replace Bret Michaels in the next season of TV dating show Rock Of Love, according to reports.

Poison frontman Michaels recently wrapped season two when he chose wannabe actress Ambre Lake as the winner and his new girlfriend.

Despite the first season being exposed as a fraud - the winning contestant already had a boyfriend - Michaels and Lake insists this time it is for real, and they are handing the show over to another single star.

Bon Jovi guitarist Sambora 48, has been single since his April 2007 divorce from actress Heather Locklear and a shortlived romance with Locklear's former pal Denise Richards ended last year.

And TV bosses want to help him find love. A source tells American magazine OK!, "He's perfect for TV. If you thought Bret (Michaels) was must see TV, you ain't seen anything yet. Richie is going to be a train wreck looking for love."

BON JOVI - SAMBORA'S TRIP TO 'HELL' AND BACK

BON JOVI guitarist RICHIE SAMBORA feared he'd never recover from a severe bout of depression last year (07) - because his life was in tatters.
The musician was admitted to rehab following a lengthy battle with alcohol, sparked by his deteriorating marriage to actress Heather Locklear and the ailing health of his dad, among other factors.
However, Sambora managed to drag himself out of the "wreckage" with the help of his friends and his own courage.
He tells People.com, "I got divorced (from Locklear), I was going through a custody battle, I was having alcohol addiction problems, my dad was dying.
"It was a gang tackle from hell, basically. And crawling out of that wreckage was a very triumphant victory."

Richie Sambora Looking Forward To 2008

Richie Sambora Looking Ahead

"Last year was a little tough for me," Richie Sambora told Sun Media in an Canadian newspaper exclusive.

"I had a little bit of a tough year. My dad passed away and going through a divorce, and child settlements and custody and blah, blah, blah and all the stuff that I went through -- that was kind of tough."

Sambora said the tabloid coverage of his personal life wasn't great, but he has been through it before and tries to roll with it.

WORTHY CAUSE

December 7, 2007 -- AN A-list crowd turned out at Cipriani Wall Street Wednesday night to help raise money for UNICEF and the Sarah Ferguson Foundation. The Post's Peter Lauria reports that Tyra Banks, Eva Mendes , Harvey Weinstein, Richard Branson, Richie Sambora and Jeff Gordon helped raise $830,000 bidding on an autographed Gibson guitar, a Maserati and afternoon tea with the Duchess of York herself. After the bidding, George Michael, who looked fit and trim in jeans, T-shirt and blazer, and Aretha Franklin, who looked exactly the opposite, played intimate sets for the crowd.

SAMBORA ROMANCING STYLIST

BON JOVI rocker RICHIE SAMBORA is putting his recent troubles behind him by dating stylist JEN MALLANI.
Sambora and Mallani, who have been dating since the summer (07), went public at a Duran Duran concert after-party at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City on 2 November (07).
The guitarist has had a turbulent 2007 - he recently checked out of a Utah rehab facility, where he was treated for alcoholism, his divorce from actress Heather Locklear was finalised and he split from girlfriend Denise Richards. His father also passed away from lung cancer.

Bruce Gets the Stars to the Garden

Bruce Gets the Stars to the Garden

Bruce Springsteen’s opening show at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night sure brought out the stars. Bono showed up, but chose to hang backstage. Ethan Hawke was spotted in the audience, as were Broadway’s Patti Lupone, ABC News’ Elizabeth Vargas and Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner was so enthralled by Bruce he brought his wife, Jane. (Yes. They are still husband and wife despite, well, a lot.)

Before the show began, Little Steven van Zandt, Springsteen’s musical leader and guitarist, held a reception backstage for his Sirius Radio show, “The Underground Garage.” Fellow "Sopranos" James Gandolfini and Jerry Adler made the scene, and took pics with Little Steven.

(Our kudos and thanks to Steven: he convinced Bruce to play “Thundercrack,” a 1974 rarity, as one of the night’s encores. This was a thrill for my friend Vicki Fischer, who actually saw Bruce play the song at Max’s Kansas City back in the day.)

Springsteen’s show — sold out, natch — was a jubilant recreation of old hits and new ones from his top selling “Magic” album.

“Magic,” by the way, would seem the obvious choice for Album of the Year at the next Grammys. Songs from “Magic” like the title track, "Devil’s Arcade," "Last to Die" and "Living in the Future" fit very well into the live Springsteen show. The audience actually sang along to a new song, “The Girls in Their Summer Clothes.” Later, Bono was overheard telling Springsteen manager Jon Landau that that was the album’s hit.

But Bruce didn’t disappoint with older songs, too. From “The Rising,” he played the title track and sang “Lonesome Day.” Among the classic classics, “Born to Run,” “Badlands,” “Promised Land” and “Backstreets” were outstanding.

Springsteen threw in “Brilliant Disguise” for the first time on this tour, too, and it became a lovely duet for him and band member/wife Patti Scialfa. He got a carnival effect on “Darlington County” — featuring Soozie Tyrell and Clarence Clemons. “Dancing in the Dark” proved a perfect ending, followed by the Irish jig, “American Land.”

Springsteen remains a marvel. First of all, at 58, he rocks like there’s no tomorrow. He’s incredibly fit and focused. Second, while the show is about dancing and rocking out, it’s also all about politics. Before he sang “Livin’ in the Future,” he reiterated his feelings about the change in the habeas corpus law and in civil rights. He openly supports the New York City Coalition for the Homeless, too.

But mostly, he and the E Street Band are homeboys. I couldn’t help thinking during the show last night: Do they get this in other places? I’ve never seen Springsteen play outside the New York area. It’s hard to imagine other cities appreciating him; he is such a creature of this little metropolis. Just hearing a little of Clarence play his horn — that’s a comforting sound. That and hearing Bruce count off each song, “Ah, one, two, three, four!”

Springsteen finishes his Garden gig Thursday night, but don’t worry. I’m told a whole new leg of the tour is about to be announced, with many more dates coming next year in New York and everywhere. Of course, that would make sense once “Magic” is crowned Album of the Year.

Richie makes a hash of it

What has rehab done to Richie Sambora?
The 80s rocker only had to remember two lines during an appearance on Saturday Night Live - and he forgot one of them. The audience collapsed in fits of giggles as the guitarist stood in the spotlight during an awkward silence. Luckily his frontman Jon Bon Jovi was there to help him out, and reminded him what he needed to say. Richie's gaff came as his band appeared on the live US show, with lead singer Jon acting as host. The pair took part in a sketch at the beginning of the show, with Richie standing up in the audience to challenge Jon when he pretended the band would not be performing that night. "Don't we have a new album?" the guitarist asked on cue. But as Jon replied, "yes" his sidekick froze, unable to remember what came next. "Do I ever consider your feelings?" the singer prompted, as the audience laughed out loud. "Do you ever consider my feelings?" Richie asked, as the crowd cheered. The SNL performance was the first time the guitarist has performed on stage with his band since his stint in rehab in Utah. Luckily his skills on the guitar were up to scratch - not like his acting.

Lindsay Lohan and Richie Sambora have been spotted chewing the fat at Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah, where they're both being treated for substance abuse.

Sambora plans to complete his latest stint of rehab treatment this weekend (29/30Sep07). Speaking to FoxNew.com's Roger Friedman, he said, "I'm sober, I'm good. I'm going back just to finish (rehab treatment) this weekend. I figured, why not get to the bottom of this and really understand it?"

Richie Sambora Back To Rehab; Lohan's New Neighbor

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (September 24, 2007) — Richie Sambora has headed back to the Cirque Lodge rehab center in Utah.This just a month before his band, Bon Jovi, is set to go back on tour.“Richie is continuing the on-going treatment he began in June,” his publicist tells Access.The New York Daily News reported on Sunday that Richie is now a next-door neighbor of fellow patient Lindsay Lohan.

Bon Jovi Rehab

The bad news is that Richie Sambora is reportedly back in rehab. The good news is he won't likely be the only celebrity in group therapy as he's checked into the same facility as teenybopper star Lindsay Lohan. Maybe she'll talk him into appearing on her next album? Are maybe they'll ride off into the sober sunset together on his "steel horse"?

Richie Sambora Lands In LiLo Land

Being a rockstar is tough.� There’s the long hours, crazy travel schedule and constant partying.� And it appears that Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora needs some time to cool off.

The living guitar legend took to the Cirque Lodge that’s currently housing Lindsay Lohan in order to get himself sorted out.� Apparently his stint at the UCLA Medical Center back in June of this year didn’t quite take.

Though he’s well past his heyday, Sambora only recently started having problems with addiction. In fact he claims that his excessive drinking began after he divorced Heather Locklear and his dad died.

He told press, “I was just drinking too much and I needed to get my life together… It’s been a rough year. I’m still in therapy and stuff like that, but it’s good. I’m great. I feel fine.”

And a few months later, Sambora is back in rehab, this time hoping to kick the habit for good.

Richie Sambora -- "It's All About Me"

Apparently, Richie Sambora doesn't have such a big problem with drugs or alcohol that it couldn't be cured by a simple week of detox and therapy! The rocker and the rest of Bon Jovi were performing on "Today" this morning when Matt Lauer asked Richie about his recent Lohanesque trip to treatment, with Sambora revealing, "I did detox." No biggie!

The band rocked the "Today" stage and gave middle-aged women all over America something to brighten their morning. Richie's stay at rehab, er detox, was so brief that most of these fans probably hadn't even heard the news, or that he's busted up with Denise Richards.

From rock group to support group -- and back in a flash!

PEOPLE CAVES TO PUBLICISTS

PEOPLE magazine bends over backward to land "exclusives," promising publicists kid-glove treatment for their clients. Yesterday, an insider told us that People.com was given first dibs on the story that Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora was being released from rehab only because the Website agreed to his publicist's demands. "Staffers were told Richie's people wanted a full story to run, not just the statement they sent," said the insider. Reporters were also told Sambora's people didn't want the magazine to say "rehab" or that "he was released," and that People was strictly instructed to use the word "treatment facility." Sure enough, minutes after Page Six learned of the demands, People.com posted the tale, which read, "Richie Sambora has left the Los Angeles treatment facility he entered last week, People has learned exclusively. 'Richie Sambora has completed a program at the UCLA Medical Center,' a Bon Jovi rep tells People." A spokesman for People told us, "We ran their statement and we are glad we broke the news first."

Denise and Richie's Battle Against Cancer

Celebrity couple Denise Richards and her boyfriend of 10 months, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, are sharing a secret and painful battle: each star has a parent that is currently fighting cancer.

Richard’s 4-year marriage to “Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen officially ended in November, while Sambora split from blonde bombshell, and Denise’s best friend, Heather Locklear last year.

Sambora and Richards started dating in April 2006 after the rocker separated from actress HEATHER LOCKLEAR and Richards separated from CHARLIE SHEEN.
A source tells the New York Daily News, "Jon does not like Denise. She's distracting.
"There's too much media attention when Denise is around, and Jon thinks she's really annoying and doesn't like when Richie's around her."
But a representative for the singer slams the rumours he doesn't like Richards, calling the reports, "Not true."
The WILD THINGS star caused a media storm when she visited the band in Dublin, Ireland during their last tour and the couple are regular targets of the tabloid media.

Anyone who has ever done or seen cocaine in their life knows that it doesn’t come in a bottle of sunscreen (yes on the table next to her) and is not that texture. Besides, if there was coke in the vicinity, don’t you think Sambora, in true rock star fashion, would be doing it off her bare breasts? I rest my case.

@ Maui beach

Man-stealing publicity whore Denise Richards gave a little lip (of the vaginal variety) yesterday when photogs caught up with her and beau Richie Sambora absorbing some cancer rays on the shores of Maui.

Question: What's flabbier: Richie's gut or Denise's Hot Pocket?

Romantic Hawaiian vacation

romance01.jpgromance02.jpgromance03.jpg
Cheatin', lyin', no good couple Denise Richards and a painfully sunburned Richie Sambora put on quite a show for the paparazzi yesterday when they were spotted frolicking on the shores of Maui on day two of their romantic Hawaiian vacation.This is, of course, the exact same group of photogs who were victim to Denise's violent rage last year when the 35-year-old actress hurled a laptop over a balcony, injuring two elderly ladies.

While Denise Richards has the shake, Richie Sambora has the bake.
An amazing bikini-clad Denise and her lobster-red boyfriend Richie Sambora sprinted on the beaches of Honolulu yesterday, although it looks like Sambora's having a little trouble jogging with that burn.

Hey Richie, it's called "sunblock."

After wrapping her comedy Blonde and Blonder, Denise Richards takes a refreshing plunge with main man Richie Sambora during a Hawaiian getaway in Maui on Tuesday.

With his girlfriend sporting a sexy bikini top and skintight Bambi shorts, Richie Sambora was all smiles as he took Denise on a romantic stroll down the Hawaiian coastline yesterday.

If the past is a sign of things to come, wedding bells might be in store for the happy couple. Denise got engaged to Charlie Sheen following a Hawaiian getaway in 2002 ... then again, we know how that ended.

BEACH BODY ALERT

Love was clearly in the air (or perhaps on the shores) as photogs snapped shots of controversial couple Denise Richards and rocker Richie Sambora getting their cute on while on the shores of Maui.

Denise just wrapped up filming 'Blonde and Blonder' in Canada with Pamela Anderson and is reportedly now looking forward to spending endless hours smearing sunscreen on Richie's expansive gut.

Richie Sambora snubs Petra Nemcova!


New York Jan 29: Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora snubbed Petra Nemcova after a gig in Tribeca, when the sprightly Czech model approached him for a date. Nemcova told the uninterested guitarist that she was happy to see him at the R.S.V.P. to Help event on January 25, 2007. However, the rocker ignored her comment."Baby, it's so good to see you," New York Daily News quoted her, as saying.Undeterred by Sambora's cold shoulder, she grabbed his hand and exclaimed that she would love to hang out with him sometime. "I'd love to hang out sometime," she gushed.However, Sambora acknowledged her proposal with a plain retort that he had to go, and the scuttled model looked visibly embarrassed.Meanwhile, Sambora and actress Denise Richards are reportedly to wed in Milan- Italy this summer.

Sambora engagement rumours

Washington, Dec 27: While speculations were high that Denise Richards and Richie Sambora are engaged, the actress has denied the rumours.

Soon after filing for divorce from Charlie Sheen, Richards had jumped into the pants of next-door neighbor Richie, who earlier in the year divorced Richards's (ex-)best friend, Heather Locklear. The couple's togertheness also sparked rumours that they are engaged.

But when Richards was asked on Saturday if she and the Bon Jovi guitarist are engaged, but the 'Wild Things' actress insisted they were not.

"No, he's not even divorced yet!" Tittletattle.com quoted her, as telling a reporter of X17.

Meanwhile, Richards and Sheen are no longer husband and wife - their marriage was terminated in Los Angeles on November 17(06).

Wedding bells for Denise and Richie?

Denise Richards is reportedly engaged to Richie Sambora.

The Bon Jovi guitarist is said to have popped the question last month and the couple are planning to wed as soon as Richie's divorce from Melrose Place star Heather Locklear is finalised.

Richie is believed to have broken the news to his bandmates earlier this
month.

A source told National Enquirer magazine: "He said, 'I asked Denise to marry me and she said yes!' He told everyone to get used to having Denise around."

Meanwhile, Denise is said to be locked in a new custody battle with estranged husband Charlie Sheen - over their pet dog.

The former Bond girl - who has two children with Charlie - let the Hot
Shots actor look after their dog Bettie for a period of time but now claims he is refusing to give her back.

The Wild Things actress is blaming Charlie's new lover Brooke Mueller for conspiring to take the beloved dog from her.

A source said: "Denise thinks Brooke doesn't want Charlie to hand the dog back and she is furious."

Sambora serenaded

So that's what friends are for. Bon Jovi played to a sold-out crowd of 5,500 fans in Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., the other night on the eve of Richie Sambora's 47th birthday.
Jon Bon Jovi celebrated the occasion by serenading his close friend on stage with a rock version of "Happy Birthday." A flattered Sambora showed his gratitude by singing a rare acoustic rendition of "I'll Be There for You."
JBJ then went on to comment about the many beautiful single women in the audience who would love to go on a birthday date with the newly separated rocker -- was he forgetting about Denise Richards? -- then warned Sambora "this time, sign a pre-nup!"

But, at a concert on the eve of the guitarist's 47th birthday, Bon Jovi warned him to think carefully before walking down the aisle again.
After singing a special acoustic rendition of I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU, the New York Daily News reports Bon Jovi told the crowd at the sold-out show in Hollywood, Florida, "This time, sign a prenup!"

No, actually this is for a Harper’s Bazaar shoot, but seriously, what has happened to Denise Richards? Her hair looks like she got too close to one of Richie’s amps at a Bon Jovi concert. Remember when she had a career beyond looking really hot, losing baby weight and giant martini-glass water ballet?

Denise Richards is still dating Richie Sambora, says WD, despite last week's report that Richie dumped her live on stage during a Bon Jovi concert. The mag has pics of the pair cosying up on an Italian beach, and quotes a source as saying "they're in love". But Richie needs to invest in some sun screen - he looks like an overcooked lobster.

Finally, the quote of the week comes from a young actress who met bad boy celeb Charlie Sheen on dating website Millionairematch.com. "We dated for a month," the unnamed woman tells WD. "He's such a perv. He would ask me to dress up, like, in pigtails and schoolgirl outfits ... he's definitely into young girls, you know, like 18, 19."

April 26, 2006
DENISE RICHARDS and rocker RICHIE SAMBORA have garnered attention this week for their very public displays of affection over the weekend, which includes hand-holding and kissing at a number of Los Angeles area hotspots. But this story is far from over!

The twosome, who have both been making headlines for their impending divorces from CHARLIE SHEEN and HEATHER LOCKLEAR, respectively, were spotted smooching it up at the restaurant Le Caf�.
"They were very affectionate," the European bistro's general manager FRANK PERKINS tells the upcoming issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday.
"They were looking into each other's eyes, laughing and giggling like crazy, and seemed to be really enjoying one another," one witness tells the magazine.

“They’re really loving together, like they don’t have a care in the world apart from each other.” For the full story on the new couple, check out this week’s issue of Us on newsstands tomorrow!

DENISE ROMANCES HEATHER'S EX

April 25, 2006 -- DENISE Richards used to be best friends forever with Heather Locklear, but not anymore. Richards - who's divorcing Charlie Sheen and recently revealed in court papers she was disgusted by his alleged taste for teenage porn - was kissing and holding hands over the weekend with Locklear's own soon-to-be-ex, Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora. The two enjoyed romantic moments on Laguna Beach (inset), and after a canoodlefest at cozy Los Angeles eatery Le Café, Richie, 46, and Richards, 35, who arrived in separate cars, left together in one. Yesterday, they were looking cozy on the balcony of Sambora's house in Malibu. Denise attended Heather's 44th birthday party at Koi just a few months ago. To give it all a "Six Degrees of Separation" slant, Heather had a lesbian liplock with Denise on a 2001 episode of "Spin City," the sitcom that starred Sheen, and gushed afterwards: "I have never felt such beautiful soft lips in my life. I fell in love."

Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora

For better: The Melrose Place vixen, 44, married the Bon Jovi guitarist, 46, in 1994. They have an 8-year-old daughter, Ava.

For worse: Locklear filed for divorce Feb. 2.
What are they fighting over? He filed for joint custody of Ava in March after a skirmish over which judge would hear their case. The couple have a prenuptial agreement.

Who will come out on top?

Levin's legal brief: "What gets my antenna up on this one is that he's asking for joint custody and she's asking for sole custody. You have a rocker on one side and a sweet and beautiful woman on the other. Based on stereotypes, she has the upper hand. She could (argue) that bouncing the kid back and forth is not in (the child's) best interest."

Toler's ruling: "Some judges are biased toward women. So it depends on which judge they get, which might be why they're fighting over judges. After a (child's) certain age, I'm a big fan of joint custody because it gives both parents a chance to be an active part of the kid's life."

The rocker has filed new court papers as divorce proceedings heat up, insisting the pre-nup be "enforced" and that he and Locklear share joint custody of their eight-year-old daughter AVA. Locklear is seeking sole physical custody.
In the papers, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week (17MAR06) and obtained by US TV show Extra, Sambora also lists 26 December (05) as the official separation date.24/03/2006 03:00

HEATHER LOCKLEAR's father is letting it be known he wants his daughter to stop dating rock stars and find a good baseball playing boyfriend.
The actress' dad, BILL, isn't letting the ink dry on his daughter's divorce papers before trying to fix her up with a replacement for her estranged husband, BON JOVI star RICHIE SAMBORA.
The couple split at the beginning of the year (06), and now Bill wants his daughter to settle down again.
According to American magazine In Touch, he was overheard telling friends at his Westlake Village, California golf club that he'd like his daughter to date someone like course regular BRET SABERHAGEN, a baseball hero.
Outspoken Bill reportedly told pals, "Bret's a good guy, he's handsome. She should date someone like him and stop the nonsense with wild musicians."

Now it can be told

Heather Locklear dumped Richie Sambora after she went rooting around in his e-mail and found some "provocative" pictures sent to him by a woman they both know. So says People magazine. Well, actually the mag says Heather "found" the e-mail, but you don't find other people's e-mail by accident, do you? People says this woman had been a "sore subject" between Heather and Sambora, but these pix left Heather "devastated" though not too devastated to call her lawyers. Richie is third-hand-quoted as saying nothing ever happened with this woman and he hadn't asked for the pictures. Gentlemen, ladies, I think each of us can learn from this sad case. Learn different lessons, I suspect, but learn we all can.

"Heather couldn't believe what she was seeing." -- Star, P. 45 - Locklear had been wary of the assistant, so she was fired in 2005.

WILDFIRES FORCE BRITNEY OUT OF HOME

New mother BRITNEY SPEARS was forced to evacuate her home on Thursday (29SEP05), as wildfires continue to rage through the hills of Los Angeles.
The TOXIC singer, who gave birth to her son SEAN PRESTON on 14 September (05), fled her sprawling property, along with her husband KEVIN FEDERLINE, as firefighters battled to stamp out the flames and smoke engulfing a large area of the city.
Pop couple JESSICA SIMPSON and NICK LACHEY were also among those who evacuated, as well as HEATHER LOCKLEAR and her husband RICHIE SAMBORA, LISA MARIE PRESLEY and BEAU BRIDGES.
The flames, which are dangerously close to the set of hit TV show 24, have also threatened the homes of such stars as WILL SMITH and his wife JADA PINKETT SMITH, and CHARLIE SHEEN.
Fire crews are currently working at a relentless pace to tame the flames.
In 2003, California wildfires destroyed the ranch used for TV classic LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE.

Heather Locklear, wife of Bon Jovi star Richie Sambora and mother of eight-year-old Ava Elizabeth (and who, coincidentally, made a movie called Rock'n'Roll Mom in 1988), used to party hard when she was dating Motley Crue bad boy Tommy Lee but now loves family time. She lives near her parents and they visit their granddaughter often.
Like Locklear, Hudson and Paltrow are close to their parents. And this, says MotherInc director Claudia Keech, probably influences their maternal style more than their rock star partners do.

Rocker RICHIE SAMBORA has such an intense dislike for seeing his wife HEATHER LOCKLEAR get passionate with other men onscreen, he always storms out of the room.

The couple, who have been married for 10 years, often sit together to view Locklear's acting work, but Sambora refuses to watch when she's having an intimate moment with a co-star.

The actress says, "We got together at the height of MELROSE (PLACE), so he was definitely going, 'Why are you doing this?' I said, 'I've been doing this, you just didn't notice...'

"So he leaves the room (during a passionate scene). He really doesn't like it."

afar.
She says, "I semi-stalked (Richie), but I married him in the end, so it's
okay!
"I told my girlfriend to set me up with him. Somehow I heard he would like
me, could like me, who's knows... He never really called back, but finally when
I was in New York he called and he was like, 'Oh hey, I hear you like me!' And
I'm like,
'No, that's not really the way it goes!' "So then my girlfriend said, 'Go out
with him, but don't go to his room.' We tried to get together and it ended up I
went to his room and she called me to see where I was and she goes, 'I can't
believe
you're in his room!'"
And Locklear, who says lots of "making out" occurred on the night,
continues to be impressed with her husband.
She adds, "He's perfectly big! He's sweet, he's funny, but he does what I
want. I think after 10 years he has given up. He's like, 'Whatever makes you
happy.'"

Movie review: 'The Perfect Man'

Then there's Mrs. Richie Sambora. Not sure which Tinseltown genius thought to cast Locklear as a desperate housewife, but putting aside her good looks, which poor Heather can't be blamed for, she does a pretty good job rising above the B-list material, shedding her Heatherness and playing middle class.

To love and marry in L.A

The wilder the rocker, the shakier the marriage. Bad boys are attractive, but some women eventually come to their senses – like Heather Locklear who left wildman Tommy Lee for more stable Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora (another nice guy, I know, from interviewing him) with whom she seems very secure and happy. That Renee traded her rocky romance for a country singer could spell similar success, since country singers are generally by nature more heart-centered in their tunes about love and broken hearts.

Bon Jovi Star Richie Sambora In Legal Battle

SAMBORA CAUGHT UP IN THEME TUNE WRANGLE

BON JOVI star RICHIE SAMBORA is at the centre of new legal battle over a TV theme tune.
The rocker's longtime collaborator THOMAS MARALDA claims he's owed credit and royalties from the theme tune to US showbiz news show THE INSIDER - because he helped Sambora write it.

But, in the credits to the programme, Sambora and LUKE EBBIN are named as the songwriters.

Now, Maralda has filed suit against the show's producers, demanding they pull the theme song until he gets the credit, royalties and court costs.

Sambora was unavailable for comment.

Rock babes rated high


On the rare occasion in the music world, groupies and band-aids turn into girlfriends and sometimes, even prospective wives.
Believe it or not, there really is a natural evolution when it comes to the busty, bleach blond eye-candy hanging on the arms of those tattooed, greasy-haired rockstars.

It takes a special kind of lady to make a womanizing playboy who has a girl in every city settle down. That's why Blender magazine was kind enough to rank the lovely ladies and crown the "Hottest Rock n' Roll Girlfriend" of all time.

Blond bombshells Rachel Hunter (Rod Stewart), Anna Kournikova (Enrique Iglesias), Heather Locklear (Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora) and Cameron Diaz (Justin Timberlake) made the cut.

But topping the list is the most infamous blond of them all — Pamela Anderson.

Perhaps it's because she is indeed the sexiest, or maybe it's because she dated the most rockstars in total. Quality or quantity, you can't argue that the woman who counts Bret Michaels, Kid Rock and Tommy Lee among her ex's is one hot momma.

Cast your vote by taking the Grrr! Poll on the right of this Web page.

Runners-Up

Jon Bon Jovi: This one I take personally, so take this nomination with a grain of salt. Last week I covered the opening night at Billy Crystal's one-man show on Broadway. I interviewed many A-list names on the red carpet, but when Bon Jovi made his way toward me, he took one look at my FOX News microphone and said "Forget FOX," and walked away (that is the G-rated version of what he actually said).

I don't think he knows that I heard him.

I was hurt. First of all, I've been a huge fan of Bon Jovi ever since high school. But more to the point, it wasn't "Forget FOX" when I did a feature on him singing at New York City firehouses after 9/11. It wasn't "Forget FOX" when I covered the release of his new album "Bounce" when he fumbled snaps at Giants Stadium. It wasn't "Forget FOX" when I covered his NFL kick-off concert in Times Square, and it wasn't "Forget FOX" when I followed Richie Sambora behind the scenes at Continental Airlines Arena for yet another feature story on the band. And it wasn't "Forget FOX" when FOXNews.com did a piece on Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres' baby clothes company.

But I'll tell you what, Jon. I will remember "Forget FOX" the next time your publicist calls to pitch me a story on your behalf. Grrr!

The set, which is expected in stores this spring, is also reportedly a more personal and introspective record. Guitarist Richie Sambora described it in yet another way.

"I think we stumbled upon something again on this particular record, kind of like what happened with `It's My Life.' When (that) came out, it seemed to give Bon Jovi a whole new audience. We've always had a vast audience base, but with this new record, what I'm feeling is it's kind of a new direction," said Sambora. "It sounds very fresh, yet it sounds like us."
