Bon Jovi unhappy with Denise Richards

Jon Bon Jovi reportedly hates band mate Richie Sambora's girlfriend Denise Richards, and wants to ban her from joining the group on tour.

Singer Jon is said to be fed up with the actress distracting the guitarist and has made it clear to Richie he prefers it when she is not around.

The final straw came when Denise travelled to Dublin to see the band during their 'Have a Nice Day' tour last year, prompting a media circus. The situation is allegedly so serious Richie's place in the band could be under threat.

However, Jon Bon Jovi's representative has vehemently denied the reports, saying they are simply "not true".

Richie and Denise started dating last year, while she was in the middle of her bitter divorce battle with ex-husband Charlie Sheen and the rocker was involved in his own divorce from estranged wife Heather Locklear - who was once a close friend of Denise's.
