Credit: David BergmanEver since Richie Sambora abruptly left the Bon Jovi tour, it's been Jon Bon Jovi who's been faced with trying to explain the guitarist's absence -- Richie himself won't clarify exactly what's going on.  But now, Sambora is apparently peeved at Jon for some of the comments he's made, and is asking the singer to stop "trash talking" him.

Speaking to the British paper The Evening Standard recently, the Bon Jovi frontman said of Sambora's absence, "It's getting more and more difficult every day to not just sit here and say something… Because all I can say is this -- it's for personal reasons.  He's been through it before.  Fortunately for us the same guy who filled in last time was available this time." 

Richie now tells the British paper The Daily Mail that he resents Jon's implication that his absence from the tour is due to substance-abuse issues, which sent him to rehab in the past.  He also doesn't like his longtime band mate's implication that he's easily replaceable.

"I don't have any major problems in life right now.  I love my fans and I feel bad for them at the moment.  Bottom line," says the guitarist.   "My opinion is Jon wants to see if he can pull off stadiums by himself.  He is making it very difficult for me to come back.  Enough with the trash talking!  [The fans] have paid money to see Bon Jovi and right now, they're not getting the whole deal."

He adds, "Jon needs to stop talking about me publicly.  I am fine, working very hard on my fashion company, Nikki Rich, and this is a private matter."

Sambora then tweeted, "Just don't worry... Everything's good....Just to be clear, I've been running the fashion company for 5 Yrs. It does not take me away from the band, I'm an artist first.  Always will be."

ABC/Heidi GutmanJohn Fogerty paid a visit to ABC's The View on Thursday morning as part of a busy week he's scheduled to promote his soon-to-be-released album, Wrote a Song for Everyone.  The record, which hits stores this Tuesday, features the ex-Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman playing many of his classic compositions alongside an assortment of music stars from various genres.

Asked how the concept for Wrote a Song for Everyone came about, Fogerty revealed, "This whole album was an idea my wife had.  She said, 'Why don't you get a bunch of the people you love and go sing your songs.'  To me that sounded like Christmas, you know?  A good time.  So, that's what we did."

Guest host Jillian Michaels then pointed out that John had recently said the new record is the album of which he's most proud, and asked him why he feels that way.

"I just think the music is really cool," he explained.  "It's just really vibrant and played well, and the arrangements came out good.  And, of course, all these wonderful artists: It was such a joy to be with them."

He added that the stars he collaborated with on the album "are people I'm fans of…I buy their records."

Not surprisingly, Fogerty also treated The View audience to a couple of performances.  He played a CCR medley featuring segments of "Lodi," "Bad Moon Rising" and "Proud Mary," plus a rendition of a new tune that's included on Wrote a Song for Everyone titled "Mystic Highway."

As previously reported, Bob Seger, Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, Jennifer Hudson, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson and Keith Urban are among the artists who contributed to Wrote a Song for Everyone.

If you're not skinny enough, they'll say something about it. I just try to feel good in my own skin as much as I can.

She doesn't know how to care for Bob and Max's basic daily needs, and views them as play things. The boys would spend the majority of their time with their nannies. Brooke would try and eat breakfast with them, if she was able to be roused in the mornings. Brooke never goes to the twins' preschool, in which the parents are encouraged to participate. It's always the nannies."

UPDATE ON MICHAEL'S WRONGFUL DEATH SUIT

We want him to understand what is expected of him."
