Jon Bon Jovi: Drugs And Mullets Are Like Bad Medicine

HerBadMother — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:03:00 GMT

You gotta love a dad who's totally frank about what he's reluctant to share with his kids about his past. In Jon Bon Jovi's case, it's his hair - or, rather, the hair that he had when he was rockin' out in the eighties. For some reason, he's less keen to show his kids his own concert footage from twenty years ago - because of shame around the hair - than he is to cop to dealing drugs as a teenager.

Bon Jovi's all sharesies when it comes to the drug stuff - spilling stuff like "I did the drug thing very young and wised up very young too, because I was into drugs a little too much... I was entrepreneurial even then, buying quarter pounds of dope and trying to make a couple of bucks" and "Did you ever smoke dope that was laced with PCP (phencyclidine) and then have that whole summer of hallucinations? It was f***ing awful" - but when it comes to the hair? He don't wanna go there.

"I've heard Richie Sambora (guitarist) and Dave Bryan (keyboard player) say they played their kids a DVD of our old concerts from 20 years ago, and they were really laughing. But I've never done that. They would probably laugh at my 80's hair. Sure they would."

I can't really blame him. I'm still embarassed about my 80's hair, and it was never as bad as this:

Stick to the drug stories, dude, and keep the hair under wraps - whatever street cred you gain with your kids for admitting that you did drugs will be utterly obliterated the minute they see the permed mullet and the scarves. And the make-up. Yeah, don't go there at all.

The Manny Ramirez-es

If you're nickname was Man-Ram would you name two of your three sons the same thing? Even if your nickname was great would you name two kids the same thing? I'm not talking to you, George Foreman. Luckily for the city of Boston the oddly-coiffed baseball player is more creative on the field than he is in the game of baby naming.

Ramirez and his two oldest boys, Manny and Manny Jr., really, spent a little time horsing around at Fenway where Rudy Giuliani's Boston Red Sox have won the first two games of the World Series.

Congrats to Rudy, Manny, Manny and Manny.

More Trumps With Good Hair

First the infant granddaughter with a shiny, thick mass of rich brown hair; now, the toddler son with glistening golden curls. No wonder the Donald keeps his 'do coloured and combed-over: you'd have a complex too if you were follically challenged and surrounded by smaller, poorer people with better hair.

Where are these kids getting their hair genes? It's gotta be matrilineal.

Britney Gets Back To Bedrock

Look, I don't want to keep ragging on Britney Spears' parenting skills, but really. Should we really trust anyone who doesn't believe in car seats, panties, or staying home at least one night a week with her children to put hats and sunscreen on her babies?

I know, I know - there could be sunscreen on those kids. I can't prove that there isn't sunscreen on those kids. I will, however, simply point out the following: bitch is dressed like a cavewoman (which, seeing as she's dating a caveman, maybe isn't all that astonishing) and sporting a hideous black weave. She's either preparing for a "roll" in The Flintstones: The Musical! or this is just so much more evidence that she lacks anything that even smells like good judgment.

I sure hope that the nannies have stocked up on aloe vera.

Liam Gallagher Passes on Bad Hair Gene

Liam Gallagher and his son, Lennon, model their matching hair styles while attending the Live Earth show in London. I wonder if the place that they were coiffed painted their nails and put little pink bows on their ears? I used to have a poodle, and they did that every time I took her in.

One thing I've noticed about celebrities, is that when they look good, they look really good, and when they look bad, they look like freakin' idiots.

Lennon (great name) knows what I'm talking about, that's not Dad's scowl he is aping, that's the 'cut my damn hair' pout. We see that a lot around here.
