Bon Jovi on His Thanksgiving Plans

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi gave "Extra" the inside scoop on what he and his family are doing this Thanksgiving.

"Everybody comes to my house, and I deep fry that turkey!" Bon Jovi laughed. "You should try it some time, it's awesome."

The whole family also pitches in to help Dad with the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. The singer explained, "The Soul foundation has been up and running for six years. We've built 260 houses and now we've branched out into a restaurant and are feeding low and no income people."

Happy Thanksgiving...

Though the words aren't mine, the sentiment is. I could never have been so eloquent. To all my friends that celebrate the holiday tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving...

This Thanksgiving holiday with its blessings so grand Should serve to remind us of the joys at hand The friendships we treasure, our families dear The love we've been given and shared, year to year The food at our tables, where many have none The dawn of each morning beneath the bright sun The dreams that we carry; the warmth in our hearts That bring us together when we are apart.

The walks by the lakeshore as stars light the sky The joys in the children who quickly pass by The stillness of nature, the comforts of home Each blessing the greatest that could ever be known The warm, pleasured scents from the kitchen, delight Arousing the senses near the firelight The wondrous decor of the season to come Good tidings, best wishes for everyone.

The freedom we hold, so to live peacefully The soldiers who serve us, so diligently The air that we breathe, the flowers we grow The brightness of spring, the coldness of snow Our sons and daughters, our husbands and wives And the furry creatures who capture our lives –All are blessings we’re given to cherish, always Yet, especially so on Thanksgiving Day.

Celebrate this time for the beauty abound Be thankful for all of the blessings you've found For in the end, blessed you will truly be – A soul filled with love, peace and harmony Happy Thanksgiving, my friends; I am blessed, indeed I am thankful for the love you have shared, selflessly May each road that you travel be paved with a smile Have a wonderful holiday....enjoyed in style!

Greatest Hits - Worldwide Smash...

Bon Jovi a Worldwide Smash

Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits has debuted at Number 1 around the world and on the Billboard European Chart with their three-decade spanning retrospective that also includes their latest hit single, 'What Do You Got?'

Underlining their status as one the world's biggest bands, the release is a new Bon Jovi "best," charting higher and selling more copies in its first week than the band's 1994 CROSS ROAD release, which has sold 21.5 million copies to date worldwide.

Bon Jovi Greatest Hits debuted in the Top 5 in over 20 countries around the world including in the US, where it is the #1 charting rock release, the UK, Germany, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, New Zealand, Argentina and Korea. The album entered the charts at #1 in Japan, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Sweden, Portugal, and Mexico. The album held at #1 for 2 weeks in Portugal and Ireland and remains at #1 for a second straight week on the European Billboard Album Chart.

But it is not just about the anthemic smash hits that have become Rock staples over the last three decades. The band's latest hit single, 'What Do You Got?' is climbing the charts as the fastest growing radio single in Bon Jovi history.

The band's extensive global campaign started in the UK with a storming X Factor performance and an ITV special in advance of the Greatest Hits release, before closing the MTV EMAs where they were honoured with the first ever Global Icon Award.
