I have a remix of 'Baby' with Richie Sambora, which is a rock joint
Everyone makes a point of saying that I like bad boys, and in my defense, Charlie was a reformed bad boy and Richie [Sambora] is not a bad boy ... He’s actually an amazing guy and a great dad.
The timeline was that Charlie and I ended, then my friendship with Heather [Locklear] – which wasn’t a long friendship – ended, then she filed for divorce, and then Richie [Sambora] and I got together after that ... But I knew that in the public’s eye – because Heather is America’s TV sweetheart – it wasn’t gonna go over well…Because the press made it seem that she and I were having dinner on Friday and I was screwing her husband on Sunday, and that’s not the case. Heather knows that I did not ‘steal’ Richie. She knows it.
I did bring ideas with me. I went up loaded (with ideas)... None of my ideas made it. I thought I was a comedy writer. I tried to get Richie (Sambora) in a skit - we'd be the Blues Brothers, do the dance really bad, get heckled by the audience - we're used to that.
He’s perfect for TV. If you thought Bret (Michaels) was must see TV, you ain’t seen anything yet. Richie is going to be a train wreck looking for love.
We felt that in order to file additional counts - in this case, child endangerment - we would have needed additional aggravating circumstances. The evidence did not support that.
