...Bon Jovi: "Wanted Dead or Alive" (or cash or check...) In a Billboard interview this week, '80s hair-metal holdover Jon Bon Jovi says in regards to his summer tour plans, I've got two choices. We've got the Giants, Soldiers, Fenways [sic] (stadiums) on hold or we stay in Europe because of the state of the economy. All these (arena) shows are sold out, but the July dates, I'm not sure where the economy's going......

Ask Bill Belichick about last week's game, and you may as well be asking him about the Treaty of Ghent. Ask him about the 14-point-underdog Chargers, and you may as well be asking him about an All-Star team composed of the '85 Bears, '89 49ers and the Justice League of America. You know what you get from Coach Bill when you ask about football. But apparently, ask him about team fight songs and you hit......

This week ended with the launch of the seventh and final Harry Potter installation. But while the world was consumed with Pottermania, it's important to remember that there were more serious things going on in the world, too - two of them in -Ist cities. Sampaist was shocked when a passenger jet crashed into the center of Sao Paulo, killing at least 200 people. The airplane, an Airbus A320, skidded off the runway at the......

Monday 7/24: Wattstax with Eli "Paperboy" Reed & the True Loves Allston's Paperboy plays an opening revue for a screening of Wattstax, a film......

Perhaps not a huge fan of Clay, Bostonist is a fan of the contest. We, and we think you, like free stuff and that feeling of being special. We were reminded today of the Bon Jovi show that we gave away a pair of tickets to back in mid-October (congrats Pyng, enjoy the show!). The concert sold out for the Garden pretty quickly, but looking out the window today we think there may be a......

Oh, good old New England sometimes your weather is just so hard to love. Bostonist is sitting here looking out the window onto raindrops that have seemingly been falling for a month now. But, in addition to the forecast, which is brighter this weekend, we need something else to get us through to Friday night. Thoughts of Bon Jovi lift our spirits. Winners make us even happier So today we're picking a winner of......

Bon Jovi is playing the TD Banknorth Garden on December 9, 2005. Bostonist has a pair of tickets for a lucky reader to “Have a Nice Day” as Bon Jovi tours the world in promotion of their new album. We’ll admit it, our love for Bon Jovi just hasn’t been the same since Jon Bon Jovi cut his hair, hopped in a van, and traveled around the country “incognito” without that eighties mane. Slippery......

A few weeks ago, a story that Kevin Millar was going to be made over by the Fab 5 from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" surfaced and now it appears to have been true...and he's not alone in wanting to get in touch with his feminine side. The Bravo show arrived in Florida today to begin their transformation of six of the World Champion Idiots of Fenway Park. Millar has been joined by fellow......
