'I'd like to work in Bollywood'

Jon Bon Jovi has said that he would like to work in a Bollywood production.

The US musician told Daily News and Analysis that he looks forward to collaborating on a Hindi-language project.

The 48-year-old confirmed: "I'd love to collaborate. I'm always excited about the prospect of collaborative efforts because music is a universal language and doesn't have to do anything with borders or even language barriers."

The 'Livin' On A Prayer' star explained why he has not yet signed a film: "I would like to visit India, but we keep our touring schedule such that it does not really get too exhaustive or excessive. We'd like to tour in a manner that is not excessive and so, we haven't."

Other international musicians to have featured in Bollywood films include Emma Bunton, Kylie Minogue, Holly Valance, Snoop Dogg and Akon.

Irrfan Khan for 'Spider-Man'?
Irrfan Khan is reportedly close to signing up for a role in the new Spider-Man movie.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Khan is in discussions to star as villain Van Atter alongside Andrew Garfield and Campbell Scott in the Columbia production.

Marc Webb’s reboot of the Spider-Man franchise began production this month in Los Angeles with casting decisions reportedly close to finalisation.

Khan would be the second Slumdog Millionaire star to be cast as a villain in a Hollywood movie after his co-star Anil Kapoor was snared for the new Mission: Impossible instalment.

Khan has already been a part of several Hollywood productions, including The Namesake and A Mighty Heart.

Racy Bon Jovi photos released in memoir

Revealing photos of Jon Bon Jovi have been released in a new memoir written by the band's former tour manager Rich Bozzett.

Images of the singer reportedly posing in bed with topless women feature in Bozzett's book Sex, Drugs and Bon Jovi.

According to WENN, the pictures were taken by rock photographer Ross Marino during the band's tour in 1985, and were originally intended to be publicity shots.

Bozzett allegedly took the negatives and kept them in a safety deposit box until last year when he made the decision to write the book.

The author claims that Bon Jovi asked him to destroy the images shortly after the shoot.

He wrote: "A panic-stricken Jon Bon Jovi immediately called up Doc (his manager McGhee) to tell him that we needed to track down the pictures as soon as possible."

Bon Jovi's spokesperson told the New York Post: "This is an outtake of a photoshoot. Everyone should be so lucky at 22 years old… Rich is remembered as a nice-enough guy who was eventually in over his head as the band's success grew.

"As far as his attempt to cash in on alleged experiences he had 21 years ago? No comment."
