If you thought that Richie Sambora’s recent DUI arrest was his biggest problem, think again. The Bon Jovi guitarist is now getting the fallen American Idol treatment as he is not doing gigs at condominiums. The rocker recently appeared at the Las Olas River House in Fort Lauderdale, Florida using his downtime between Bon Jovi gigs, as they are currently on tour, to play the gig. I guess there were no mall openings or ground breakings that day. Who would have thought that this iconic rock star would ever experience such a shameful day? Those fallen idols must be laughing so hard right now.

Which is more likely – Sting writing ‘Roxanne’ about prostitutes while traveling in Paris or Sting co-writing it in the basement of his Reno home with a guy he met at a restaurant? According to a police report filed by Roy Smith, Sting heard him singing at Molly’s Garden Restaurant in 1977, thought he was good and asked him to hang out. They hung out in Sting’s basement drinking beers, during which time, Smith told Sting about an ex named Roxanne who was a prostitute and about writing letters to his late father which he then put in a bottle. Smith claims that Sting agreed to give him royalties for the songs, but never did. But that’s not all – Smith also claims that Sting tried to contact him through his mom but that she didn’t relay the messages because she though that the real police were after her son. Stupid!

He is as famous for his sexual conquests as for his youthful strutting on stage . . . despite being 64.
And Mick Jagger reckons that sex and rock ’n’ roll have something in common — you can have too much of both of them.
The Rolling Stones legend says: “Rock ’n’ roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don’t want to do it all the time. It’s like when you are young and you think if you are not having sex you’re wasting your time. But as you get older you realise everything has its place. It’s the same thing with performing.
“You don’t want to be thinking if you are not gigging, ‘Why am I not performing? I’m just going out to dinner with my friends, how boring is that? I should be out on stage’. Performing is a great thing to do but you don’t want to have to be doing it every night.”

Remember Rikki Rocket? Yeah, me neither. He was the drummer for Poison. Now, he runs around doing duet performances with his fiancee Melanie Martel. Her, I know. She was a hot singer in Nashville back at the Fiddle and Steel.
Anywho, seems Rikki has been arrested on rape charges, stemming from an incident that occurred in September. It happened in Neshoba County, Mississippi. Seems he was arrested at LAX airport as he returned from New Zealand but was released as of now.
No word on the next step for police.

Kate Moss was recently cautioned for dancing on the grave of Doors frontman Jim Morrison.
The supermodel and her rocker lover Jamie Hince visited the music legend’s resting place and decided to pay homage to him by belting out his 1967 track ‘Alabama Song’.
However, security guards at Paris’ Pere Lachaise Cemetery, who had allowed the couple to visit the shrine after it closed, were not impressed and told them to calm down.
A source said: “The security guard who let them in was reprimanded and a giggling Kate and Jamie were told off. It was hilarious and they left to get ready for Jamie’s concert with his band The Kills still laughing and singing the main refrain from ‘Alabama Song’.”

Marc Jacobs has a warped sense of humor. Believe it or not, Rolling Stone Keith Richards is the new face of Louis Vuitton. Renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the senior rocker cradling his guitar on a hotel room bed for the brand with the slogan for the ad reading “Some journeys cannot be put into words. New York. 3 am. Blues in C.” Keith’s fronted ads will appear in magazines come April. There’s a subliminal message in having Keith as the model. Mr. Leather Face is representing the leather goods and fashion company. It’s so appropriate and wrong all at the same time!

Keith Richards has warned Amy Winehouse to stay away from drugs.
The Rolling Stones rocker - who has previously battled a heroin addiction - says the troubled ‘Rehab’ singer needs to kick her dangerous habit before it ’s too late. The 64-year-old guitarist, who once infamously joked he had snorted his father’s ashes, said: “She should get her act together.”
The band’s frontman Mick Jagger, who was briefly jailed in 1967 for possessing drugs, has also advised young stars not to follow in the Stones’ notorious footsteps.
Speaking at the Berlin premiere of Rolling Stones documentary ‘Shine a Light ‘, Mick said: “When we were experimenting with drugs, little was known about the effects. In our time there were no rehab centres. Anyway I did not know about them.”
Mick, 64, has previously expressed concern for Amy’s wellbeing saying: “I’m worried she might die if she goes down the road she has taken.”
He’s not the only one…

First it was Dolly Parton and now it’s Lenny Kravitz. According to his spokesperson, the rocker has been taken to the hospital for treatment as he is suffering from severe bronchitis. Lenny has been suffering from a series of severe respiratory tract infections as well as the flu since mid-January which evolved into bronchitis. Doctors apparently were not able to control his illness with outpatient treatment and has since been advised by professionals to check into a hospital. His estimated length of stay was not released. Lenny’s illness has forced him to postpone a European promo tour for his new album ‘It Is Time for a Love Revolution’.
