The event, scheduled for Oct. 26 at 8 p.m. at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), offers fans a rare opportunity to hear Bon Jovi reflect on his remarkable journey, both as a musician and as a philanthropist.
With more than 130 million albums sold globally and hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “You Give Love a Bad Name” that defined the sound of rock in the ‘80s, Bon Jovi’s impact on popular music is undeniable. The band’s 1986 album Slippery When Wet spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and tracks from that album still resonate with fans today.

As the conversation unfolds, attendees can expect Colbert to delve into Bon Jovi’s experiences that led to iconic moments, including the band’s 2018 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Bon Jovi’s charitable work will also be a focal point of the evening. Through his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, established in 2006, Bon Jovi has raised millions to help combat issues of homelessness and hunger. His innovative “pay it forward” model at his JBJ Soul Kitchens—nonprofit community restaurants—has provided over 100,000 meals to those in need, ensuring that anyone can enjoy a meal, regardless of their ability to pay.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jon Bon Jovi to the Montclair Film Festival and to share what promises to be a special evening of conversation,” said Montclair Film Artistic Director and Co-Head Tom Hall.
“As an artist who embodies empathy and community, Jon’s work represents the values that inspireeverything we do at Montclair Film. We look forward to a wonderful night.”
This appearance comes during a banner year for Bon Jovi, following the release of the Hulu docuseries Thank You, Goodnight, which charts the band’s rise from New Jersey clubs to international superstardom. The series has given fans a behind-the-scenes look at more than four decades of music, performances, and personal moments, adding fresh perspective to Bon Jovi’s celebrated career.
Tickets for the Montclair Film Festival’s Evening of Conversation with Jon Bon Jovi, hosted by Stephen Colbert, will go on sale to Montclair Film and NJPAC members on Oct. 2, with general sales beginning Oct. 4. All proceeds will benefit Montclair Film’s programs and NJPAC’s arts education initiatives, helping to support arts programming across New Jersey.
As Bon Jovi sits down with Colbert, the audience will likely be reminded of the enduring power of music and the ways in which it intersects with community activism—a theme that has been present throughout Bon Jovi’s career. With 10 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, including 2016’s This House Is Not for Sale, Jon Bon Jovi remains as relevant as ever, continuing to inspire both on stage and off.

How you like that! BLACKPINK‘s ROSÉ announced that her solo studio album, titled rosie, is set to arrive just in time for the holidays.
“I cannot believe I am finally announcing my first album release to you all,” wrote the K-pop star in an Instagram post featuring the album cover, a closeup of the singer that shows her lying down, blonde curls cascading around her face in waves as she looks at the viewer. In her caption, she goes on to explain that as BLACKPINK wrapped up its yearlong Born Pink World Tour, she found herself at a studio session in L.A., and spent the next year working on music with songwriters and producers, trying to figure out what was next for her.
“I fell asleep many nights feeling confused and lost. But with the support of my dear friends and family, my team, and of course my number ones, I am sat here today excited to announce the date of my album release,” shared the global star, revealing that her album will arrive on Dec. 6 via Atlantic Records. “I have poured my blood and tears into this album. I cannot wait for you to listen to this little journal of mine. Rosie – is the name I allow my friends and family to call me. With this album, I hope you all feel that much closer to me.”
Before signing off, she confirmed one big piece of information for BLINKs: “And yes, it’s a full length album.”

According to the press release, ROSÉ coproduced and cowrote the album, which includes 12 tracks and is her “most personal and candid” project yet.
Aside from the K-pop supergroup’s world tour and working on her own music, ROSÉ has been busy the past year. Last September, she inspired a Tiffany’s capsule collection that included a locket, earrings and more; attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in February and sang along to all 10 minutes of “All Too Well”; partnered with Puma for a campaign in July and more.
ROSÉ isn’t the only member of BLACKPINK with new music. Bandmate LISA has been releasing new music in the past few weeks, including a collab with Rosalia called “New Woman,” as well as a new track titled “Moonlit Floor,” which she debuted at the Global Citizen Festival in NYC and arrives Oct. 3.

The sun will shine on Ariana Grande fans throughout this next week. The pop star just surprise dropped another deluxe edition of her seventh album, Eternal Sunshine, Tuesday (Oct. 1), featuring new live performances of seven tracks — videos of which will go up on her YouTube channel over the next seven days.
Dubbed Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe and Also Live), the revamped LP features all 13 of the original tracks on Grande’s Billboard 200-topping album, plus her previously released remixes with Mariah Carey (“Yes, And?”), Troye Sivan (“Supernatural”) and Brandy and Monica (“The Boy Is Mine”), as well as the acoustic version of “Imperfect for You.” The new material includes live versions of album opener “Intro (End of the World),” “Don’t Wanna Break Up Again,” “Eternal Sunshine,” “Supernatural” and “Imperfect for You,” along with Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).”
“wanted to surprise you all with one more Eternal Sunshine related something before i head back into my bubble and meet you over the rainbow next month…,” Grande wrote of the release on Instagram, referencing the upcoming premiere of Wicked in late November. “so i performed seven songs (from ag7) with this wonderful group of musicians.”

The Grammy winner also shared the first video of her performing one of the new live versions — “Intro (End of the World)” — and revealed that the remaining six videos will go up one at a time each day through Oct. 7. “Peaches says thank you for all of your love and that she cannot wait to see you again later,” she added, referring to her Eternal Sunshine alter ego.
In the first video, Grande stands in a dimly lit studio in the center of a group of string players, a guitarist and drummer. Wearing a cream tulle dress and sparkly decals on her eyes, the Victorious alum adds new vocal runs and fresh emotion to the anxiety-ridden track, which begins with her asking the crucial question: “How can I tell if I’m in the right relationship?”
The project comes seven months after the March 8 release of Eternal Sunshine, which spent two weeks at No. 1. Grande has previously treated fans to similar live-performance videos, including the series she dropped in August 2023 to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of her debut album, Yours Truly, and her dreamy Vevo collection of Positions performances.

Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong knows his enemy, and at the band’s Sept. 20 hometown-adjacent show at Oracle Park in San Francisco he had no problem calling out the man he thinks is a real American idiot.
“We are East Bay. East Bay for life! Green Day, East Bay, forever. We don’t take s–t from people like f–king John Fisher, who sold out the Oakland A’s to Las f–king Vegas,” Armstrong said during the show, according to reports. “I f–king late Las Vegas. It’s the worst sh–hole in America!”
For some context, Armstrong is from Oakland and has been a A’s supporter over the years (see below) and like a lot of East Bay residents, he’s a basket case about the latest major league team leaving his beloved home town. After wrapping their 2023-24 season with a loss to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, A’s owner Fisher is moving the MLB franchise to Las Vegas, following on the heels of the 2019 exit of the NFL’s Raiders (now the Las Vegas Raiders) and the Golden State Warriors (who moved across the bay to San Francisco in 2019 after 50 years in Oakland).

The rant didn’t sit well with a few radio stations in Vegas, as evidence by KOMP 92.3 and X107.5 both announcing that they have banned the group’s music. “KOMP 92.3 has pulled any and all Green Day from our playlist. It’s not us, Billie…it’s you. #vegas4ever,” the station wrote on Instagram in a post that featured a snap of the trio with a slash through the image.
“Sin City heard him loud and clear—and X107.5 is not having it. In response to Armstrong’s inflammatory comments, the station is banning all Green Day music, effective immediately,” 107.5 wrote on its website. The move was confirmed by midday host Carlota, who announced the ban last week, saying, “Maybe he (Billie Joe) should take a look at the city and the people involved in that transaction than talking SMACK about the city of Las Vegas… So we’re breaking up with Green Day completely. Bye Bye, Billie!”
A few days after his Vegas rant, Armstrong posted a picture of himself as a six-year-old playing with a toy car in the sand while rocking an A’s hat. “The athletics leaving Oakland is devastating. I feel for all the fans and the people that will lose their jobs because of greed.. 3 sports teams have left Oakland in the past 5 years Leaving a cultural hole in the east bay hearts and sport,” said Armstrong.
“I DO believe that Oakland will come back from this.. I’ll always remember driving to del Norte bart station taking the train to the games. Some of my favorite memories,” he continued. “My 4th grade teacher used to have the radio on in class so we can hear if Ricky Henderson was going to break the stolen base record. He did. Family friends crazy george Billy Ball.. This one hurts.”
In August, Armstrong first said good riddance to the team when he spray painted a “B” over the Oakland A’s logo at Rogers Centre in Toronto in the first sign of his pique about the team’s move. After wrapping the North American dates on their Saviors Tour, GD are gearing up to take their show on the road to Mexico on Nov. 15 for a show at Corona Capital in Mexico City, then to South Africa, the UAE, Bangkok, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and Australia in early 2025 before playing a series of festivals in India, Germany and Norway.
A spokesperson for the band had no additional comment on the bans at press time.
