Richie's photos don't bother me. Does Jon use social media to tell his fans what is happening? Rarely professionally and never personally. And I am sure most professional statements from Jon are vetted by the machine he set up around him. Perhaps it could be argued that Richie needs a filter or better PR people but I kind of like the real life exposure. He may not have the following Jon has but at least he tries to connect with them --and not by selling shoes.

Personal pics such as the ones above are posted by Ori on her FB/TT pages, not on Richie's. Sometimes he retweets a link but as a rule he (or, rather, his PR team) keeps his pages professional, they only talk about his gigs, charity events, the recording of his next album, TV shows, NikkiRich...

Well, he had to get one (the PR team, I mean) after all the cluster**** tweets he did after canceling the US shows in 2012.

Why does he insist on always being the one showing skin?

I hope these holidays are to improve their appearance a bit, get ready and start the photo sessions for the new album, that would mean that soon we could hear the new album.

If they want to improve their appearance Ori's got to stop feeding him with pizzas and fries that she cooks for him, not mentioning pop corn!!!

Isn't Richie on a sort of permanent vacation anyway? :cool: Now that he's his own boss he can enjoy the beach whenever he wants, right? No deadline for his new album and right now Michael Bearden is in NYC working at the Kennedy Center (according to his tweets).

Meanwhile, Jon is busy hard-partying with his friend Leo DiCaprio in St Barts. Hopefully he'll find some inspiration for new songs over there.

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/richi...nterview-2015/ New Richie interview. He comes off a bit pompous but I'm looking forward to the new album regardless.

I cant write a bad song says richie...thats true, but apart from stranger in this town richie hasnt solely written another great song til now...many good songs but nothing exceptional as a solo songwriter.

Very pompous, but interesting nonetheless. When you get past the usual "52 countries bla bla bla" there's some intriguing stuff in there. Intriguing enough for my first post on Jovitalk in nearly 6 months anyway...
