Did Bon Jovi snub Jacko at the World Music Awards?
New York, Nov. 21 : Famous rocker Jon Bon Jovi reportedly snubbed former King of Pop Michael Jackson at last week's World Music Awards by deciding not to present the latter the Diamond Award that he had won last year.
Insiders say that since Bon Jovi "didn't want to share the stage with Jackson," Beyoncîhas chosen for the purpose of honouring him with the prize.
Backstage sources said that "nobody wanted to present him with the award" because of the stigma of his child molestation trial.
Bon Jovi's representatives however said that the 'It's my life' singer did not receive any invitation from the organisers to attend the World Music Award ceremony.
"An invitation to attend and/or present at the World Music Awards was not received," a representative for him was quoted by the New York Daily News as saying.
Sources said that Jackson was reluctant to come out of his room, because of which Beyonce had to go in to persuade him to come onstage.
"[Jackson] didn't want to come out of his room and come onstage, so BeyoncîYad to basically go in there and persuade Michael to get onstage," said the source.
Due to this delay, Beyonce even missed her flight home, and she had to borrow the jet of a local billionaire for the trans-Atlantic jaunt.

one more article to that topic:
BON JOVI DENIES JACKSON SNUB
Rocker JON BON JOVI has slammed suggestions he snubbed MICHAEL JACKSON's comeback performance at the World Music Awards in London last week (15NOV06), insisting he wasn't even invited to the event. The KEEP THE FAITH star was in the British capital for his induction into the UK Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier that week (begs13NOV06) and many expected him to present Jackson with his Diamond Award at Earls Court. Bon Jovi received the same accolade at last year's (05) World Music Awards. However, the singer denies avoiding the presentation because of stigma following Jackson's molestation trial. His spokesperson tells the New York Daily News, "An invitation to attend and/or present at the World Music Awards was not received." In the end, BEYONCE KNOWLES handed Jackson his trophy. 21/11/2006 12:40
