He calls her "Mrs. C." And she calls on him to add a little celebrity gloss to her presidential campaign.
The rock singer Jon Bon Jovi and Hillary Rodham Clinton have been friends for more than a decade, uniting for state dinners at the White House and campaign fund-raisers.
If it seems strange that a rocker who sings paeans of working-class New Jersey is so friendly with a senator and former first lady who is using a Celine Dion song as the theme of her presidential campaign, consider a few items on Bon Jovi's social calendar in the last few months.
There were dinners with Clinton and another Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards. Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, her fiercest rival for the nomination, asked Bon Jovi to hear him speak in New York. And the former Vice President Al Gore caught up with him in London for a photo op.
Bon Jovi, 45, whose tousled golden mane and porcelain-white smile have twice helped him earn People magazine's award for sexiest rock star, can lay claim to an unofficial new title these days: the New Jersey's elder statesman.
In New Jersey, it is practically a requirement for any high-ranking politician to attend at least one of his shows. And despite his left-leaning political allegiances, Democrats and Republicans alike seek him out as if he were New Jersey's very own Bono.

Bump.
Bubba to Jon Bongiovi: "Atta boy Jon, she is great. I hope you like her as much as I did last night. By the way, are you a cigar man?"
Bubba to both: “Hey let me get my saxophone, I’m up for a threesome.”
Bon Jovi is HOT and it pains me that he is such a lib. His band and Sugarland were fabulous on Crossroads.
Look how John um-mm looks like slick, eerie...
Then you need to add the barf alert to ‘New Jersey’ and not this story.
Here is some background.
Hillary has promised Corzine (our gov) a position in the White House Administration if she wins.
Bon Jovi is preparing to run for governor.
::God help us::
NJ is dear to my heart and I hope you are wrong!
Here you go:

November 14, 2007 — JON Bon Jovi could be planning one day to run for governor of New Jersey. That’s why he’s keeping his house in Red Bank, even though he and his wife, Dorothea, and their four kids have moved to SoHo. That’s why he performs regularly at fund-raisers for Democrats like Al Gore and John Kerry. And that’s why he hired p.r. guru Ken Sunshine, who was once the chief of staff for ex-Mayor David Dinkins. “Jon has been approached many times about running for office,” said Sunshine, who denied the rocker has any political plans. “His day job is going too well, and this way he can keep the house.”

Clinton victory could mean new job for Corzine
I just noticed they both spell their name, Jon. Huh.
Hillary Clinton doesn’t have friends. She just uses people and calls them friends.
Jon Bon Jovi was born John Francis Bongiovi Jr., in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, the son of Carol Sharkey, a florist and former model who is of Irish and Italian heritage, and John Francis Bongiovi, Sr., a hairdresser.
oh man
Not really. The only thing I knew about Jon Bon Jovi was that his name sounds like a pizza topping. ;^)
What, ol’ hair-for-brains? He’s just the type of show-biz idiot to be running around after a hard-left ideologue like Hillary Clinton. People in show biz just LOVE to make themselves feel generous by lavishing other people’s money on charity cases for whom gifts of money does absolutely no good.
I really hope that’s just the overactive imagination of an ambitious gossip columnist talking.
Hmmm to me it sounds like a male hairdresser’s name..I think somebody in his family was a barber too. Frank used to know his drummer years & years ago. Jon does do stuff for NJ at times. He lives in the next county over from me. I was never a big Bon Jovi fan. Doubt I ever will be either. Its ok just not what I would go out of my way to see or buy. Now that he is calling “HER” Mrs C I will most likely avoid his music altogether. lmao
Barf...
Bon Jovi is more dated than the year old milk in the crack addicts fridge.
Never been a fan.
I’ve always called him Jon Bon BlowMe.
And his big white choppers are postively creepy.
Fleetwood Mac has performed for US troops and I heard that John McVie is a Republican.
I am from the Republic of Texas and Bon Jovi is definitely music for geeeeees. Try some Junior Brown, son!
