Jon Bon Jovi Opens Charity-Based Restaurant, Is Awesome

Jon Bon Jovi has found a unique way to give back. The veteran rocker and wife Dorothea have opened up a restaurant in central New Jersey named Soul Kitchen. It serves gourmet-quality dishes, many using ingredients from its very own garden, with one major twist: no prices. Customers are simply asked to leave whatever amount they wish in an envelope on the table, with all proceeds going to charity. Those who cannot afford much, or would prefer to donate their time instead, are encouraged to volunteer. “With the economic downturn, one of the things I noticed was that disposable income was one of the first things that went,” Bon Jovi told The Associated Press. “Dining out, the family going out to a restaurant, mom not having to cook, dad not having to clean up – a lot of memories were made around restaurant tables.” The eatery is the latest endeavor by the artist’s Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which has built 260 homes for low-income residents in recent years.

The Bachelor Spoilers 2011: Cast List, Hometown Dates, Future Mrs. Brad Womack Revealed!

The Bachelor kicks off its new season, and its second starring Brad Womack, on January 3, but we have a deluge of spoilers for you right here, right now. Including the winner, already. Yes, the winner. We don’t relish the idea of divulging this information, but this is THG. It’s what we do. You have the opportunity to exit this article right now. Still here? Nice. So who gets engaged to Brad Womack ? For that piece of information and everything that happens between The Bachelor season premiere and the final rose ceremony, follow the jump … Somehow, the great Reality Steve has unearthed all this info, and the man is never wrong. Well, almost never. We don’t doubt him in this case, anyway. His site actually has much more information than we’ve posted here, but this is everything important. Here are the 20 girls who survive the premiere: Alli Travis: 24, buyer for Abercrombie & Fitch, lives in Ohio. Ashley Hebert: 25, Madawaska, Maine. A longtime ex boyfriend died right before she came on the show. Currently attending dental school. Ashley Spivey: 25, nanny from NY, gets the first impression rose, father died two years ago, which is probably going to be her story line. Britt Billmaier: 24 or 25, Seattle, WA. Stanford grad, is a chef. Chantal O’Brien: 28, Mercer Island, WA. Chantal is the daughter of Mike O’Brien, former Seattle Seahawks star. Married from 2005-2009. Emily Maynard: 24, Charlotte, N.C.. Mother of daughter Ricki, whose dad is NASCAR’s Ricky Hendrick, who died while Emily was pregnant. Jackie Gordon: 27 or 28, from Rhode Island, currently lives in New York City. Works with special needs kids on Upper West Side. Keltie Colleen: Age unknown. Originally from Alberta, Canada. Kim Coon: 25, a marketing coordinator in Charlotte, N.C. Lindsay Hill: 25, Frisco, Tx. Was a 1st grade teacher. Lisa Morrisey: 24, Lives in Kansas City. Madison Garton: Age? Lives in New York City. Marissa May: 26, Works for SUN Sports/FOX Sports Florida. Meghan Merritt: 30, former marketing manager for Dolce & Gabbana. Melissa Schreiber: 31, waitress in Boca Raton, Fla. Oldest on the show. Michelle Money: 30, Salt Lake City, Utah. Works at a salon. Divorced. Raichel Goodyear: Age? Orange County, Calif., cosmetologist. Sarah Powell: Age? She’s a Realtor. Shawntel Newton 24, Chico, Calif. She’s a mortician. Works as an enbalmer and funeral director at their family owned funeral parlor. Stacey Queripel: Bartender at Splash Lounge and Burger Bar in Boston. Here are the hometown dates in order of filming: Emily Maynard (Charlotte, NC). Chantal O’Brien (Mercer Island, WA). Shawntel Newton (Chico, CA). Ashley Hebert (Madawaska, ME). Shawntel Newton is eliminated at the rose ceremony. The overnight dates in South Africa play out with no dramatic exits for anyone, and the eventual elimination of Ashley Hebert. Sorry Ash. The season finale , therefore, pits Emily Maynard against Chantal O’Brien, and ultimately, Brad Womack chooses … Chantal O’Brien . They’re still together, too. On Thanksgiving, Brad was in Palm Desert, Calif., with Chantal O’Brien and her family celebrating Thanksgiving. Fun footnote: Chantal is the girl who bitch-slaps him the first night as she steps out of the limo who slaps Brad, as seen in the previews! Well choreographed, ABC! That’s all for now. More details to come as they become available and as the episodes air! We’ll update this page frequently all season …

Marisa Miller: Nude for Skin Cancer Awareness Campaign

On one hand, we’d be thrilled if no one ever contracted skin cancer ever again. On the other, those that have come down with this disease have contributed to a need for others to screen for it… which has contributed to Marc Jacob’s new awareness campaign, Protect the Skin You’re In… which has led to the following photo of Marisa Miller nude. So you can see why we’re torn on this issue. The image below of of this Victoria’s Secret model in nothing but sneakers will appear on T-shirts and be available at Marc Jacobs boutiques in the near future, with all proceeds going to the NYU Cancer Institute. Although it didn’t benefit any important causes, Miller is also responsible for what may be the hottest photo ever taken. View it NOW .
