Like we’re going to pretend we didn’t enjoy seeing Katherine Heigl slap Jon Bon Jovi in the full New Year’s Eve trailer. You know we’re not made of stone. While the movie is still overstuffed with celebrities from Ashton Kutcher to Zac Efron, and Michelle Pfeiffer‘s wig still looks like it crawled out of a drainage ditch behind the mop factory, it’s hard not to like a film that’s basically 90 minutes of witty banter leading up to a bunch of A-lister smooching and falling in love. Count us in! Oh, except for the part when Abigail Breslin shows off her brasserie to her horrified mother Sarah Jessica Parker for no apparent reason. What was that about? Girl child is 15!

Jon Bon Jovi Appointed To The White House In A Blaze Of Glory
It’s weird enough that John McCain has a weird fascination with Snooki, but the New Jersification of our government continues with the bizarre news that President Obama has appointed Jon Bon Jovi to the Council for Community Solutions. Our first question upon hearing this is, what exactly is the Council for Community Solutions? Is is, according to the White House a group formed to provide “advice to the President on the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs.” And why JBJ, exactly? Well, it seems the rocker’s charitable work with his own Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation caught the President’s eye. That and the fact that “Livin’ On A Prayer” has the power to bring people together across all races, cultures, and communities. This new job also totally makes up for the fact that Bon Jovi was denied a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame this year — who needs the Hall of Fame when you’re working for the President??
Weird as it may be, it’s still way less weird than the time Kal Penn (a.k.a. Kumar from the Harold and Kumar movies) got a job at the White House.

Jon Bon Jovi Finally Takes An Unflattering Photo
Jon Bon Jovi always looks remarkably well for a 48-year-old man who’s been wanted (waaaanted!) dead or alive for the better part of three decades, so it was a bit of a relief to finally discover a photo, like the one above, where the singer looks less than studly. Oh, he doesn’t look bad for a middle aged guy at all, but this side angle lets you see a little more jowl and receding hairline than you get when his smoldering blue eyes have the chance to melt your brain. See sexier shots of the bard and his band promoting their new tour in Madrid in the gallery below.

(Ladies’) Night Of Stars Lights Up NYC
While fashion-forward fellows like Jon Bon Jovi and James Franco attended last night’s 26th Annual Night Of Stars in NYC, we couldn’t help but notice all the famous ladies flying solo for Fashion Group International’s prestigous award ceremony. Emmy Rossum was there without Adam Duritz, Gwen Stefani without Gavin Rossdale, and even Iman left David Bowie at home. Dita Von Teese and Evan Rachel Wood—Marilyn Manson‘s ex-wife and the then-teeanger he left her for—managed to hit the carpet without making it any redder. See who else showed up in the gallery below.
