Bon Jovi Fires Their Manager, Tries To Keep The Peace
Bon Jovi fired their longtime manager Jack Rovner after it was reported that he messed up several times during their current promotional tour.
The first snafu occurred when $1,000 VIP tickets were sold that included a meet-and-greet with the band, however fans complained that after shelling out the dough, they were never granted access to meet the band.
Then, Rovner booked an "artist in residence" gig on NBC, which prevented them from promoting their new album The Circle on other networks.
And the real topper was when he was responsible for the Showtime documentary When We Were Beautiful, in which "Jon makes the rest of the band admit they are paid employees and owe everything to him."
When Rovner was reportedly told he was "lucky to have a job" after sending his lawyer Michael Guido to ask Jon for a raise, Bon Jovi decided to take a stand and tell their side of the story:
"Though I personally live for and love Page Six, I'm sorry to say that the tidbit you have received regarding the split between Vector Management and Bon Jovi is inaccurate. The boring truth is we decided to go in different directions and thanked both Jack and his team for a great job. He is and will remain a close friend and someone who I will be very grateful to for his dedication."
We think that there was probably a little bit more to the story than that, but at least they're good at keeping things professional!

Re: SwedishSweetheart –
No, Jon Bon Jovi is one person, Bon Jovi is a band. YOU get your facts straght
Poor Richie, that booze sure has taken its toll on him; he look terrible, and that's on a good day!
Jon Bon Jovi is a great actor!
Jon and Richie = yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy!! even in their late 40's!!
They maybe on salary but they still get royalties for the songs they have written.
For sure they get their writing royalties and if they were able to keep any of the publishing they get that too.. That add$ up…
Sambora has co-written enough songs with Jon that he'll be just time.
I am sure he has his own publishing company.
The fact that they can't get a chunk of that BIG MONEY they make in concerts suxs for those guys.. but I am sure their salary is very generous.

Jon Bon Jovi is a class act, you could learn a lot from him Perez.
Re: Malfinnien – You got served!

You fucking sucked on stage. Why did you even come to Canada? I'm surprised they let you cross the border, considering you are under investigation for child pornography.
Do people who leave comments on here really think that perez or anyone working for him actually give a flying shit about their opinions? Of course not. He's not your friend, your enemy, or someone you know. This is all business. It's like sending an email to mcdonalds saying their fries suck and they're (insert homophobic slur here). Mcdonalds wouldn't give a shit, and neither does perezhilton.com. IT IS A BUSINESS, PEOPLE. THIS IS NOT HIS PERSONAL LITTLE BLOG!

DAMN, AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME I FIGURED BON JOVI WERE THEIR OWN MANAGERS OR HAD THEIR OWN MGT COMPANY. SEE, THAT'S WHY YOU CAN NEVER TRUST ANY1 UNLESS U DO IT URSELF. SEE MATHEW POPPA "MAFIA" KNOWLES. CASE IN POINT.
Re: SwedishSweetheart – You're the idiot, Jon Bon Jovi is one person, but the name of the band he is part of is called "Bon Jovi", try googling something other than gaga stuff, give it a try, you may find there is more going on in the world that what horric outfit is gaga wearing today to get people to talk about her…. you should get out of your mothers basement once in a while.
Re: likethepear – and your point is??? unless everyone posts positive comments then they shouldnt post at all?? We should just be close minded sheep and follow?? Perez wouldnt allow for comments if he didnt want them, good bad or indifferent…….if we all shared the same opinion we might as well not visit his site, dont you understand that just like Perez many of the visitors of his site like to stir up controversary and he likes it that way!!
John's last name is Bon Jovi. It's like Van Halen. They just take their last name and make it the band name.
Just some more over the hill people trying to be and look young. Next.
Re: SwedishSweetheart – Bon Jovi is the group but jon bon jovi is the guy
Richie screwed Heather's best friend and drove her into becoming an alcoholic & drug addict; Heather is alway driving around LA wasted beyond belief, running into mailboxes and soon…little kids!
Jon Bon Jovi is the most over-rated rocker OF ALL TIMES.
I never understood the appeal … but anyway , being a deadbeat father and a major whore hasn't done him any favours either.
I just read an interview the other day and he said that his marriage is still ok because he's away a lot. Yeah … way to go DEADBEAT. Hopefully your wife cheats on you whenever she gets the chance.
There is nothing that Jon takes more seriously than his career and his money (except his family). He has always had a phenomenal work ethic. If you put anything at risk, you're gone. He's a pro and has been around long enough to spin appropriately in public. It is not news that the band are hired guns. Jon was signed to a contract back in the 80s, and a band was put together to support that. They are compensated very well for their contributions. That doesn't make them less a band. You don't see a revolving door. It's the original 4 out of 5 guys. When Alec was let go, they brought in someone with whom they had a history, but Alec wasn't "replaced." This is a very well oiled machine. You will rarely see any missteps there.
That's cuz Bon Jovi doesn't wanna get SUED by that douchebag enema-sucking scum-bucket!!!
