Jon Bon Jovi
Gossip

It must be Celebrities Take Up Good Causes Season or something.

First, Jessica Biel and Eva Longoria auctioned themselves off as dates for charitable reasons.

Then, Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger decided their outfits from Brokeback Mountain could serve the needy.

From there, we just wrote about Shakira - and it wasn't solely to pay homage to her hips (her amazing, amazing hips). She's helping to build a school.

And there's still more! Yesterday, Jon Bon Jovi announced an effort to renovate 15 rundown houses in Philadelphia's blighted north side.

With Bill Clinton by his side, singer introduced the Phase V Homeownership Project before a crowd of about 350 people in Philadelphia.

The effort is sponsored by Bon Jovi's Philadelphia Soul Charitable Foundation and the Saturn car company, working in conjunction with Project HOME and Habitat for Humanity â€" and Bon Jovi said Clinton was on board as well.

The former president, 60, "was intrigued enough that he offered his services, and said, 'If I can help you in any way, don't hesitate.' And we didn't," Bon Jovi told the Associated Press.

This certainly isn't the only good cause Bon Jovi assists with. His fashion lines also helps the poor.

We thought Jon Bon Jovi was the man for getting it on with Diane Lane.

And he sure is.

But the rocker is also one of the more charitable artists in the industry.

The latest endeavor of this nature for the owner of the Arena Football league's Philadelphia Soul has him teaming up with clothing designer Kenneth Cole (pictured, right) to create a line of limited edition outerwear.

Bon Jovi debuted one of the designer jackets on the red carpet at Thursday night's Fashion Rocks event in New York.

As much as we like Fergie, let's hope the line doesn't exactly follow her taste.

The coats will be available in November at Kenneth Cole and Saks Fifth Avenue stores - and will benefit HELP USA, an organization that works to empower the homeless and others in need.

But we all know why Bon Jovi is really getting into fashion: he hopes to meet Kristin Cavallari.

We always knew someone gave love a bad name for Jon Bon Jovi. You could feel the pain in the rock 'n roll god's voice every time he mentioned an angel's smile being up for sale.

But Diane Lane was responsible for such heartbreak?!? Who knew? (That these two were an item ... that Bon Jovi was suave enough to bag such a beautiful actress ... that the repercussions of that affair would be etched in Best of the 80s CDs forever ...)

20 years later, the painful effects are still felt for Jon. He turned down the opportunity to view the premiere Hollywoodland in Southampton last weekend. The movie stars Ben Affleck as George Reeves, the original TV Superman.

We're gonna avoid the obvious consternation at Affleck playing the role of Superman and comment on who stars as the woman Reeves had an affair with back in the day: Lane.

See, When Bon Jovi split from his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley, in the mid-'80s, he got to see Lane naked many, many times. But the relationship ended badly, leading to the band's classic, "You Give Love a Bad Name"

The result did drive Jon back into the arms of Hurley, who he married in1989 and has had four children with.

We love Jon Bon, don't get us wrong. But we'd take being promised heaven and then being put through hell if it meant we could recreate the hallway railing scene from Unfaithful with Lane.

Wow.

That imagery even puts this picture of Jessica Simpson to shame.
