The Connection Between Cinderella & Bon Jovi

Did you know that the glam metal band Cinderella owes it all to one Jon Bon Jovi? The band was playing a gig in their hometown, Philly, and Jon happened to be in the club that night. He liked what he heard and got his label's talent scout to come see them and they ended up getting signed to a label as a result.

Cinderella toured with Bon Jovi for a while on the Slippery When Wet tour. There's even an appearance by Jon and the gang in the Cinderella video "Somebody Save Me."



Totally awesome!

The Link Between Burlesque And The '80s

Today, Culture Brats is introducing a new feature: No Way! Basically, this feature will be fun little tidbits and trivia facts for you to astound your friends with.

Today's fun fact is this: the writer/director of the recent Golden Globes and Razzie-nominated movie musical, Burlesque, is... a Goonie! Well kinda.

Steve Antin, the writer/director of Burlesque played Troy Perkins, the hot varsity-jacket-wearing guy macking it to Andie, with one of my favorite lines in the film: "Andie, you Goonie!"


He also played Jessie in Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" video.


This is Troy today, at a Burlesque premiere:


Goonies never die! They just hang out with divas.
