It's not often that the pant-suited Hillary Clinton and hotpants Jon Bon Jovi get mentioned together. But if you're a fan of both, you're in luck: The rocker is going to perform at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser to help put to bed the millions she owes from her failed presidential bid. In case you think Bon Jovi is playing favorites, he actually held an Obama fundraiser at his New Jersey home last year and lashed out at Republicans for using one of his songs.

If sports and Springsteen are more your thing, tune in for the Super Bowl halftime show. In fact, the Super Bowl is searching for a couple thousand fans to be on the field while the Boss performs.
