Bon Jovi slams the celebs

Some like him, some don't. But you can't take away the fact that he's sold more than a 100 million records. Ok, so he is still alive and not OD-ed yet. And he will not be a Cobain. And he still is married to his high school sweetheart. So is he still a rock star? I guess so. Facts say so. The Telegraph got a rare interview with him where he talks about himself, the band, the career and how sometimes celebs are just a sham!

Bon Jovi is not quite so enamoured of other Hollywood superstars, though. "Some people just court celebrity for the sake of it," he says, his smile lapsing into a sneer.

"People like Tom Cruise. He was always a great actor, but I think the man's lost it, lost it. You won't ever catch me jumping up and down on Oprah going on about how I love this woman. And then others start feeding off it. Suddenly, Kate Moss is on the covers of magazines."

Wasn't Kate Moss always on the covers of magazines? Does he mean Katie Holmes?

"Yeah, her," he says. "These people claim they hate the intrusion that fame brings but then they bring it on themselves by having huge entourages everywhere they go, attracting attention to themselves. It's a great fallacy. Another one's Paris Hilton. Famous for being infamous. And the people who should be getting the attention, people like Bob Dylan, aren't. It's sad."

That reminds me that Martin Scorsese is out with his Dylan documentary - 'No direction home' which is an add-on to Dylan's 'Chronicles - Vol 1'.

Back to Bon Jovi and inspite of being humble, the riches show. He leaves us in the interview with this comment:

"I once flew on a small plane with Bill Clinton," he continues, with a grin. "And a reporter asked whose job was better, mine or the President's? I said that mine was, because I get to keep the plane and the house."

That kinda sums up a rock star eh?
