Anyone else a little suprised TMZ or "the media" hasn't found Richie out & about or in a rehab or anywhere? The paps (scary as it is) seem to always find celebs.

Thats exactly why I dont think rehab is the reason.

I think they probably think they got their story and that's that. Other than the initial shock of it, I don't think Bon Jovi or Richie are very high on their "get" list for celebs. I think they would snap away if the opportunity arose, but they are not actively pursuing him. (He was just dropping his daughter off at school this morning, if he was being "chased" by paps, they would have gotten a shot at some point)

1. In 2007 Richie's stint in "rehab" was actually just a one week detox at a hospital in LA. The announcement of him not touring this leg was on April 2, a little over 3 weeks ago. He could have just entered the same type of 7 day detox program followed by therapy, which would explain him being around and available to drive Ava to school today.

3. The fact that Matt has insisted that the TMZ article is completely off with this one, explicitly said Jon and Richie are not fighting, said it's up to Richie to make an official statement and he "WILL be back on the road" squashes the whole gag order theory. I know Matt is theoretically a nobody, but he still works for the organization and cannot make statements like that (whether they be true or false) if there is some sort of take our secrets to the grave clause. He would simply say "personal reasons" and leave it at that, not reassure his twitter followers that the fighting rumors are bullshit and that he'll be back for the European shows.

These two points I agree with. I find it interesting that during this whole time Ava didn't tweet any pictures or video of Richie, even a 2 sec one like today just to confirm that he wasn't in rehab. Just because she did today doesn't mean that he wasn't. He could have been and came home.

Think about it, they say this leg. The first time we see Richie is the end of this leg of the tour ( last show tonight) next leg ready to begin, Richie should be back.

The point about Matt is valid too. I know that he doesn't care what the fans think of him but he has been adamant that Richie will be back, no beating around the bush or secret messages. Richie is back. Jon has been on the Ellen show a few times. They have mutual respect for each other, I don't think he would lie on the show. So it does look like a case of he will be back but only Richie knows when.

Good point. Maybe the collective "rock n roll world" or the "paparazzi world" just isn't that interested....only us die hards are!

RS just tweeted ... 10:30 EDT

Hey everyone, starting to review all the contest stuff... Really having fun.. Thank you for all the entries....

Guess he's probably not going to make a surprise appearance in San Jose then. :-/

Kinda competing with all the official BJ tweets about the stream, too.

Yes. He is out of detox, took his daughter to school this morning, and is now watching his contest videos. :D

If that was the case, then I would have applauded Richie for doing it before the tour. I don't care how musically altruistic his reasons were, pulling out in the middle of the tour when hundreds of jobs depend on you and thousands of tickets have already been bought isn't something I can respect. (If it is the case)

Why post it minutes before your bands show is supposed to start? He had all day to post.
