Bon Jovi furious at Forbes lists ommission

Rocker Bon Jovi was furious he failed to make two of the famed Forbes lists for musicians.
The star Bon Jovi was first left off the Forbes Power 100 list of the world's most powerful celebrities lead in July by Oprah Winfrey.
He was unimpressed in July when he failed to make it into the Forbes Musicians' Rich List topped by U2.
'Jon kicked up a huge fuss and got his people to complain,' an insider told the New York Post.
Why he didn't make the musicians list he couldn't understand since Bon Jovi has been touring non stop since February.
'Their contemporaries U2 and Bruce Springsteen were on the list. Even Britney Spears was No. 5, and she hasn't done anything this year.'
A representative for Bon Jovi denied he had ever complained about his omissions.
'That’s just so ridiculous. Last year, the band took an eight month break from touring, so there was no expectation that they would rank on this year's list.

'Next year, different story: their recent tour is No. 1 in North America right now and No. 2 worldwide.'

Donates seats for fans of new team, Bon Jovi

American rocker Bon Jovi has purchased four season tickets for the new Melbourne Heart team in Australia's A-League and will donate them to fans.
Bon Jovi was announced as the football club's No. 1 international ticket holder in a statement released by the team Saturday.
The four premium memberships, valued at about $2,000, will be donated for each home game to fans who otherwise "don't have the financial means."
The Heart will play 15 home matches in its inaugural season starting next month.
Bon Jovi, whose band will tour Australia in December, was formerly a co-owner of the Philadelphia Soul in the Arena Football League a lapsed indoor American football competition.

Bon Jovi's stadium gigs Sambora loving

Next Australian gigs to Bon Jovi's will be big scale stadium shows, but guitarist Richie Sambora is promising an 'intimate' experience for fans.
In December the band hits Australia as part of their two year world tour to promote their latest album, The Circle.
The rock storys announced last month they would play shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.
A second and final show for Sydney was announced on Wednesday, ahead of the start of general ticket sales on Thursday.
The band, which kicked off their tour in the US in February, has just completed a series of concerts at London's 02 Arena, and Sambora says he's loving the massive shows.
'Anybody that says they don't like it means they can't do it,' Sambora told AAP from his Los Angeles home during a week long break from the tour.
'The event is so much fun, to take part in that ... it actually comes down to us being able to do that and we do it very very well.
'Jon (Bon Jovi) happens to be one of the best frontmen when it comes down to making a stadium seem like a small place.'
Sambora says he's looking forward to coming back Down Under - the band was last here in 2008 - and he's promising Aussie fans a great concert experience.
'We're bringing the most amazing production, there's going to be a high-definition screen behind us that's 55 feet (16 metres) high and 115 feet (35 metres) long so everybody gets very close and personal to the band and it becomes an intimate kind of experience.'
With a career spanning almost three decades, Bon Jovi have sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts around the world.
The Circle is the New Jersey band's 11th studio album, released in November last year.
Before they hit our shores, Bon Jovi will also have released a best of double album, which contains five new songs and is due out in November. Aussie fans will be among the first in the world to hear some of those songs performed at a live concert.
Australia is one of 30 countries the band will visit during this world tour.
Sambora says the band has had a 'passionate love for Australia since the 80s' and the now single guitarist - he was married to TV star Heather Locklear and has dated actress Denise Richards joked that 'the girls have been very good'.
