'Run Rudolph Run' - The Philly Specials & Bon Jovi

Here's a new holiday tune for you: Jon Bon Jovi has teamed up with The Philly Specials for a cover of "Run Rudoplh Run." The song was originally recorded by Chuck Berry in 1958 and it is one of the most remade Christmas tunes of all time.

Joe Perry, Cheap Trick and Hanoi Rocks have covered the song too.

Jon Bon Jovi Saves Woman In Crisis

This is pretty amazing footage. Jon Bon Jovi was doing a video shoot on a pedestrian bridge in Nashville and he saw a woman contemplating jumping into the water below. Approaching cautiously, he spoke with the woman and convinced her to change her mind about jumping.

September is National Suicide Prevention month. The video is proof that being kind and reaching out really can save a life. In that moment, it didn't matter that Jon is a big star, or rich or beautiful or whatever. He just saw the opportunity to help and did so.

Finally, if you are in crisis, dial 988. Help is available, 24/7 - 365.

Jon Bon Jovi -- 'American Idol' Live Performance

As promised, Jon Bon Jovi was on the American Idol finale last night. After the show opening which was "Livin' on a Prayer," Jon Bon Jovi joined the final three on stage to sing Bon Jovi's new song "Legendary." He did a good job and I was honestly surprised he chose to sing a new track, so good for him and the rest of the band. In case you were wondering, Abi Carter won the show.

A few weeks ago, Abi sang "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence and it was awesome:

Online museums are all the rage now. Def Leppard has one. Motley Crue has one... and now you can add Bon Jovi to the mix.

As part of Bon Jovi's 40th anniversary celebration, the band launched Backstage with Bon Jovi. It's a website and museum all rolled into one and busted down into four main sections: Exhibits, Studio, The Road and Office.

Also, Jon Bon Jovi was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year last night. There are lots of celeb performances and interviews from the MusiCares gala last night. Here's a little bit of Mammoth WVH:

In Case You Need A Jon Bon Jovi Action Figure

A company called Toy Wiz has a Jon Bon Jovi action figure available for pre-order. The cool thing is that it is an all-Glam Jon Bon Jovi. We're talking pre-"Bad Medicine" here, folks. The website description says:

With their 'bigger is better' approach to rock and roll, Bon Jovi changed the landscape with the release of their seminal album, Slippery When Wet.This Ultimate Jon Bon Jovi action figure is fully poseable and ready to rock, with guitar, microphone and stand, and interchangeable hands and face plates. The design of the figure brings fans back to the Slippery When Wet tour and the days of big hair and bigger rock sounds.Comes in display-friendly window box packaging with opening front flap.

The doll is about $34 and I'm sure will sell out. I am not a collector of such things, but I do love that this plastic Bon Jovi is wearing sequin pants.
