Oprah's Australian Tour Performers: Bon Jovi!

Those lucky rascals! First they get flown out to Australia, and then they get to see Bon Jovi TOO?! Talk about living on a prayer!

Congratulations to all attending! Anyone know anyone?

From The Daily Telegraph:

BON Jovi will perform a private concert for 1400 A-list VIPs, plus visiting celebrities and 300 guests being flown out for Oprah Winfrey's Australian TV specials.

More than 1000 invitations were yesterday sent out for the December 15 concert at Star City with stars including U2, Bob Geldof , Winfrey and her fans, plus high-rolling gamblers all expected to attend.

The show will attract world-wide attention thanks to Winfrey's association and the elite of Sydney's business, social and showbiz circles have been invited to the intimate show, which coincides with the US supergroup's Australian tour.

Star City is undergoing an $860 million renovation and new management has recruited Bon Jovi for the relaunch -- aimed at making it a world-class venue.

The new management of Star City want to make a statement . . . the private Bon Jovi concert show and the after-party will be one of the biggest VIP events Sydney has seen in more than a decade, a source said.

Invited guests include Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman, James and Erica Packer, Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness.

And Sydney Confidential readers should stay tuned for a special offer.

Vote JBJ for best surprise on Oprah!

So do you all remember that episode on Oprah in 2005 when our favorite Jon surprised a woman at home with pizza and flowers? Some delivery boy, right?! *swoon*

On her website, Oprah is asking what fans' favorite surprise from the show is, and Jon's surprise to Beth is listed as a choice. Beth has joined Backstage since her special little TV debut, and there's a mission to vote for her on there. 

If you could all help out and VOTE NOW, I - we - and certainly Beth! - would appreciate it. 

Thanks everyone. :)
