New York, January 25, 2007 - What’s better than a private performance by Jon Bon Jovi? The crowd at the R.S.V.P. to Help fundraiser went crazy at the finale, when Richie Sambora joined him in singing “Wanted: Dead or Alive”. To top it off, the hermit-like Howard Stern made a rare evening appearance with his lovely lady, Beth Ostrosky. This was the first time we’d spoken to the shock jock, and he was very laid back and friendly. Someone asked Stern what was written on the front of his t-shirt, and he replied, “I don’t know. I just bought it; I I haven’t read it.”

The event not only raised money for Bon Jovi’s housing efforts, it also served as the launch of co-host Kenneth Cole’s new men’s fragrance, R.S.V.P. We saw Petra Nemcova, Russell Simmons, David Schwimmer, Lewis Black and Donna Karan roaming the vast Tribeca Rooftop space and shimmying to Bon Jovi’s set.
