'Bizarre' Editior slates JBJ once again
 
Wanted to share this with you all, I know I'm probably giving the editor what he wants by causing a fuss and should ignore people like this but it really makes me angry. In The Sun, UK newspaper today, Gordon Smart who is the editor of the entertainment page Bizarre printed this, another pointless snipe:

"Jon Bon Jovi asked me to help promote his band's new greatest hits album. I was tempted - until I saw him high-five Belle Amie [contestants] on Sunday's X Factor. It was more embarassing than One Direction's pink eye a day earlier [boy band who were made-up a little strange]. He's still Jon Nob Jovi."

In a previous edition, he printed this:

"Jon Bon Jovi wins a new gong - Nob of the Year. There's no physical award for this, the leather-clad gimp is not worth £12.50 for the frame. Jon Nob Jovi told the Bizarre team that his five nights at London's O2 in 2010 should always be referred to as a residency, not a five-night run. I won't be going to any of his five-night run because he is yesterday's man, his music is dull and he stole his haircut from Lassie."

It's totally pointless and childish; what annoys me is that Gordon Smart is the editor of a page where he pretentiously claims everything in new music or fashion was his idea, or he predicted certain trends would happen. In these pages where he is forever licking the boots of Z-list manufactured popstars, many in fact spawned from the X Factor, he has the audacity to slate such a fine and respectable rockstar who has been in this industry for 27 years, and has since ploughed so much time, effort and money into charity. He is deserved of his time spent in the music industry, yet doesn't sit at home counting his millions but actually gets his hands dirty, helps people in need. Gordon Smart picked on him for literally no reason, it wasn't a provoked attack, and I just basically wanted to share this with Jovination and all fans of this great band. You can disregard it or you can join with me on Twitter asking why he continues to lay into Jon like this. His tag is @goagsieman and his column is a waste of printed space, full of pretentious opinions and not nearly enough 'real music'. As someone who has already attacked him on Twitter said, is he going to be remembered in 25 years? I think not.

Its The Sun, never take anything it says seriously, or better still, dont read it at all.

I know it's The Sun, but it doesn't matter where it's printed, I'd still feel the same if it were The Guardian. It's unprovoked and pointless.

this guy is a complete plonker. if you pick up a copy of the newspaper you'll find at least four pictures of him inside. he's out to expose himself, rather than provide any sort of decent reporting. i've forgotten how many times i've seen snaps of him with noel gallagher or russel brand ... get over yourself.

I know right! It's all about how many pics he can get in of himself, or of himself with celebs, and 'predicting' that Take That would get back together or Oasis would split or whatever. I know it's just one journalist's opinion but this guy just really grinds my gears, and when it's so personal (leather-clad gimp?!) I get really annoyed!

Gordon Smart is a c*nt.
I hate the man. He thinks he is something special. He is a z list newspaper journolist.
He just spends his time sucking up to -Z List celebs - he probably had the hump coz JBJ knocked him back.

Ignore this complete pr1ck.

Just ignore him he's a prat - wouldn't know talent if it fell on his head. I see you're going to Manchester so am I. What was the One Night Only special like.

I read 'The Sun' ('cause I like to! :lol:) and this annoyed me, too. Gordon Smart is just a prick and to be honest he has no opinion. He likes who is 'in' and hates everyone else.

There is a simple solution to this -do not buy The Sun because toilet paper does a far better job!

Going to stick one of these on your forehead David
