This is the Bon Jovi family's formal living room. But with the flip of a switch, a large movie screen, hidden in the floor, rises up to the ceiling. And voila, it becomes the family's screening room.
When you've won as many awards as Jon Bon Jovi has, this is what it looks like. He's particularly proud of the third one from the left, his Songwriters Hall of Fame Award.
The kitchen where Bon Jovi and his family spend most of their time isn't the one in their home. It's the one they sponsor for those in need in their community, called The Soul Kitchen.
The Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, N.J., is a fine dining restaurant where those in need can enjoy a good meal for free while other diners subsidize the meal through donations or by lending a hand in the kitchen. Bon Jovi and his family are regular volunteers.
Bon Jovi joked, "I'm the best looking dishwasher, you know, west of the Mississippi." But that doesn't disguise the fact that he's very serious about fighting poverty.
Inside his "world class" studio, Bon Jovi has produced every record since "Crush." He calls it his Graceland. A die-hard N.Y. Giants fan, he decorated his studio with his season-ticket seats from the old Giants stadium. Bon Jovi, his dad and his children have seats in the new stadium, "but they won't let me take 'em out with me when I leave at - at the end of the game."

Bon Jovi found this bar at a flea market in Paris. He likes to tend bar while his friends relax and play pinball and pool. "I'm really bad at pool, but I'm a great bartender."
