Jon Bon Jovi: Bieber Should Make His Own Mistakes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Child Stars, Meltdowns, Features,
Jon Bon Jovi thinks that Justin Bieber should be left to make his own mistakes.
The "Livin' On a Prayer" singer knows how hard growing up in the spotlight can be, but doesn't think young stars such as Justin - who has displayed erratic behaviour of late, upsetting his neighbors and being caught smoking marijuana - needs a "lecture" from him.
"Having lived it myself, there's lots I could say to One Direction or Justin Bieber - to any young band at a crossroads, kids who are not even 20 years old and have the whole world looking at them, and are scared because they don't know any better. But you can't give them a lecture. They have to learn it their own way and find their own path. The only thing you can tell young guys like that is that it's going to be OK."
Jon - leader of rockers Bon Jovi, who started their career in 1983 - also says the music industry nearly got too much even for him at one point and he thought about giving it up.

Richie Sambora Inspired by Daughter to Get Sober
Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora says his daughter was his motivation to get sober. The rock icon has admitted that 15-year-old Ava - his child with ex-wife Heather Locklear - was a "big part" of his decision to go to rehab to be treated for alcoholism for a second time last year.
"She (Ava) was like an angel to me, man ... that was the catalyst for me actually getting sober," he told Classic Rock. The 53-year-old musician continued, "Luckily I wasn't that guy who lost his band, his family, his house and his job. I wasn't a victim."
His first spell in rehab was in 2007, after the death of his father Adam and amidst the breakdown of his marriage to actress Heather. Richie blames being in a rock band for his substance abuse problems, which included heavy drinking and eventually a reliance on painkillers.
"I was in a rock 'n' roll band! Drinking was a badge of honor," he explained.

VIDEO: Baby Chooses Bon Jovi Over Miley Cyrus

I’m guessing this child won’t be watching Miley Cyrus on American Idol tomorrow night.
This 1-year-old may be too young to speak, but she has no problem vocalizing her thoughts. When given a choice between Cyrus’ “Party in the USA” or Bon Jovi‘s “Livin’ on a Prayer,” she makes it clear which artist she prefers.
Now if she could only tell her dad how to fix that ponytail thing on her head.

UPDATE: The story just became much sadder. It turns out Richie wasn’t alone when he was pulled over. His current girlfriend, daughter and another young girl were inside the car at the time.
Poor Ava Sambora. In the past month, the young girl has seen both of her parents thrust into the media spotlight…and for less than happy reasons.
Back on March 8, the 10-year-old’s mother (Heather Locklear) had paramedics make a surprise visit to her home. Someone from outside her residence called 911 believing the actress was suicidal. (She claims she wasn’t.) Now - just more than two weeks later - Ava’s dad is having is own turn with the authorities.
TMZ reports that rocker Richie Sambora was pulled over late last night when he was spotted driving erratically. After the Laguna Beach officers stopped him, the musician failed several field sobriety tests and was promptly detained. Sambora has since been released from custody.
