No Richie on current leg of the tour

According to The Rock, people in Twitter:

Richie fan girls are literally falling all over themselves telling Richie how epic this piece of garbage song is. It's pathetic.

Richie's Twitter followers are quite mental. I wouldn't pay much attention to what they say.

Their opinion is just as valid as yours.

You are quite right.

Now bring me a drink.

F*ck off. Eloquent enough for you?

Haha. I love a strong woman. Dinner. Me. You. I'll pick you up at 8.

I think Richie pays attention to what they have to say. He seems to believe the hype that he's the "soul" of Bon Jovi. He's always saying crap about his soul is in this and that as if his soul makes any piece of crap some masterpiece. I follow a lot of celebrities on Twitter and Richie's got the most puffed up opinion of himself of any of them.

The quality of my review matches the quality of the song.

I guess I like to think the best of people plus I hate demonizing women in particular.

* When Richie at the red carpet event said he would not be at Hyde Park, she added as an aside something like "putting THAT rumor to rest." This was a fashion event promoting their fashion line. Of course she wanted to be a part of it and try and keep the focus on fashion not the Bon Jovi situation. It wasn't that she was inserting herself into music, she was trying to keep the music out of the fashion event. Even though Richie answered the obvious Bon Jovi question, he also kept trying to insert comments about the fashion line.

* She was motioned aside at the same red carpet event so photographers could take pictures of only Richie. You guys seem to take great delight in that. Well of course she looked surprised. Again it is THEIR fashion line and I think her name actually comes first in the line. Big deal that she wanted photos of the two of them together promoting their line

* They recently did a promo of their fashion line for Japan and there will be appearances during the month of August. Big deal, the band is on a 6-week break. I wouldn't call this "being all over the place."

We don't know that Richie and her have anything other than a friendship and a professional relationship. To assume that she is sucking him off or that her vagina is some kind of magic and that is why he is investing his money in the line is insulting to them both.

We don't know what she is telling Richie about his situation with Bon Jovi and to assume that she is telling him that he is too good for Bon Jovi or that he should quit the band or whatever, is way too large of an assumption to make.

If they didn't have Sean as a public relations guy, it would be someone else trying to get bits of information into the public eye. PR guys tend to use every avenue to get publicity and they tend to publicly support their clients--hence Sean's support on Twitter of Richie's new music.

Off my soapbox until I read the rest of the comments on this thread--I am behind a few pages.
