The Live Earth India concert, which set to feature acts such as Bon Jovi, WILL.I.AM and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, has been canceled due to the Mumbai tragedy.
Rocker Bon Jovi held a fund-raiser at his New Jersey home that brought in a whopping $3 million for presidential candidate Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee, the New York Post reports.
Less than a week after being arrested on suspicion of DUI, RICHIE SAMBORA made his first public appearance Monday night at a BON JOVI concert in Denver and according to People, the guitarist took time out to address his fans.
RICHIE SAMBORA is speaking candidly about what he was dealing with when he entered rehab last year.
"I got divorced [from HEATHER LOCKLEAR], I was going through a custody battle, I was having alcohol addiction problems, my dad was dying," the BON JOVI guitarist tells People before the band's benefit concert Tuesday at Manhattan's Hammerstein Ballroom. "It was a gang tackle from hell, basically," he adds. "And crawling out of that wreckage was a very triumphant victory."
ET can confirm that RICHIE SAMBORA is not in rehab -- we talked to the rocker tonight on the red carpet of a Recording Academy New York Chapter event where his band, BON JOVI, was being honored.
We caught up with Richie and JON BON JOVI on the red carpet -- when asked how he's doing, Richie responded, "I'm doing great, thanks so much for your concern."
A cavalcade of music stars -- including MADONNA, the POLICE, BON JOVI, KANYE WEST, BEASTIE BOYS, ALICIA KEYS and more -- rocked stadium-filled audiences around the globe on Saturday for "Live Earth," a day-long series of concerts spearheaded by former Vice President AL GORE to inspire a mass movement to combat global warming.
The event got underway in Sydney, Australia, aided by a "virtual" Gore and Australian actress TONI COLLETTE ('The Sixth Sense'), who sang a song with her band, the FINISH, called "Cowboy Games." Gore appeared via hologram to introduce the show, which later moved on to shows in Tokyo, Hamburg, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, London and New Jersey, where Gore appeared in person, introduced by actor and environmental activist LEONARDO DiCAPRIO. The event also reached out to an audience of two billion people by way of numerous media platforms -- TV, radio, Internet and wireless channels.
JUST IN TODAY: BON JOVI's rep tells ET that guitarist RICHIE SAMBORA has completed his stay at a treatment facility in Los Angeles.
"Richie Sambora has completed a program at the UCLA Medical Center," the rep said in a statement. "He is doing well and continues to receive outside support."
After dating for almost a year, DENISE RICHARDS and RICHIE SAMBORA have ended their relationship amicably, as first reported by In Touch Weekly magazine. ET confirms that the couple actually split a few months ago.
In February of 2006, Richie split from HEATHER LOCKLEAR -- his wife of 12 years, and Denise's former friend. At the time, Denise was in the middle of divorce proceeding with her now ex-husband CHARLIE SHEEN after four years of marriage.
Rocker JON BON JOVI played his old hair-band faves like "Living On A Prayer" last Thursday in a NYC concert to celebrate the launch of his new cologne and help raise money for the homeless.
Jon has joined designer KENNETH COLE to roll out the men's fragrance, R.S.V.P., available in Kenneth Cole New York retail stores and Saks Fifth Avenue. The sexy frontman also appears semi-shirtless in a new commercial for the cologne, playing his hit song, "Who Says You Can't Go Home." (See him shooting the ad in our video at right!)
Comedian and "Showbiz Show" host DAVID SPADE opened up about his relationship with HEATHER LOCKLEAR, and had a few choice words about the romance between her estranged husband RICHIE SAMBORA and her former good friend DENISE RICHARDS at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Awards party Wednesday night.
When asked about Heather's whereabouts, David's famously sharp tongue put her absence from the event in perspective. "All I know is she's home nursing her knife wounds in the back tonight," he said.
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!
MARTIN SHEEN, the father of Denise's soon-to-be ex CHARLIE, is now speaking out about the rumored romance in the upcoming issue of People magazine, on stands Friday.
Are DENISE RICHARDS and rocker RICHIE SAMBORA the latest Hollywood couple?
ET has learned that the twosome, who have both been making headlines for their impending divorces from CHARLIE SHEEN and HEATHER LOCKLEAR, respectively, were spotted kissing, snuggling and cuddling everywhere from Los Angeles area beaches to cozy restaurants like the Le Café.

Rocker JON BON JOVI and the band that bears his name have sold millions of albums and continuously sell out arenas all over the world, but the 44-year-old frontman didn't always have the glitzy and glamorous life. The prolific performer heads back to his hometown of Sayreville, NJ to reminisce on his humble beginnings.
"I think what was expected of you was not a lot," he tells ABC News Correspondent JUJU CHANG of his hometown on tonight's "20/20."
