Well, at least it wasn't a Vagisil ad...

Most celebrities have cringe-worthy jobs they took on when trying to make it in Tinseltown (that usually involve porn and/or the casting couch), but for 36-year-old Kerri Russell, her mortifying moment is still being passed down thru the generations. At just the tender age of 17, Russell appeared as the “other woman” in Bon Jovi’s hit music video “Always.”

“I was recently in a movie theater, and this young kid in the front was like ‘are you the girl in the green bra in the Bon Jovi video?’ I could have died,” the “Bedtime Stories” starlet told Tarts, shaking her head with mortification.

Girl, it's not that serious. Always is a GREAT Bon Jovi song (though Bed of Roses still ranks as the best Bon Jovi song ever written), even if the video IS a little cheeseball. I get such a kick out of watching the video. It’s so bad, it's good! Carla Gugino and Jake Noseworthy star in it as well - it’s so funny, they ALL went on to successful careers afterward! Check it out.

No. Really?

The Guardian has confirmed that organizers of Live Earth India have canceled the concert because of security fears after last week's attacks in Mumbai.

Gunmen opened fire at hotels, a railway station and other sites across the city, killing more than 170 people. Although the authorities have brought the situation under control, Bon Jovi and other acts were quick to cancel travel plans - prompting organizers to call off the sold-out charity gig.

Bollywood stars such as Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan had been scheduled to perform alongside western artists Will.I.Am and Roger Waters at the Andheri Sports Complex on December 7. The concert was designed to highlight environmental concerns and India's Light a Billion Lives solar energy program.

Organizers of Live Earth India said in a statement that they were "shocked and saddened" by the attacks.

"We always felt very welcomed and safe as we spent more time on the ground in Mumbai to finalize plans," they wrote.

The Live Earth concerts were masterminded by former US president Al Gore and partner Kevin Wall. They have taken place around the world, including gigs in London, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and Sydney.

Weekender Thursdays: Beachy Green, Proud Grandmas, & Domino Tournaments

So...all sorts of fun and interesting things happening this weekend...what better way to unwind from the stress of the recent Presidential election?

(NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all events take place in and around the NYC area.)

FRIDAY: Sir Roger Moore (pictured) will be at Barnes and Noble (555 Fifth Avenue @ 46th Street) signing copies of his new book, My Word is My Bond (go, obvious literary puns!) If baseball, rather than books, is your thing, swing by the Chelsea Piers to see Jon Bon Jovi, Don Mattingly, and Lorraine Bracco pay homage to the New York Yankees (this embarrassing year notwithstanding -- I blame Madonna, personally -- they're still the greatest team in New York City!). Can't do these things 'cuz your dear ol'grandma is in town? Why not enter your Nana into the Seventh Annual Your Highness Grandma Beauty Pageant? (This year's competition is at National in Brooklyn) Or, maybe she'd like a bit of Engelbert Humperdinck...you can catch him live at the Capitol One Bank Theatre in the Round in Westbury, Long Island (don't worry, tickets are still available).

SATURDAY: This is a great day to be a kid, as there's way too much to do (don't worry, parents -- like all kids, they'll find a way to complain of boredom). The Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum (pictured) makes its grand re-opening after over a year of repairs and refreshes, which included new exhibit installations, restored aircraft, a new public park-like pier, new interactive exhibits, dry-docking and a new paint job for the former USS
Intrepid. Afterwards, head on uptown to the NY Public Library (111 Amsterdam Avenue, @ 65th Street) to see programs on the newly acquired Uta Hagen papers. Or, you can catch a plane to Miami (hey, airlines, including Delta and JetBlue are having firehouse sales on flights...better enjoy them while they last!) and join the Honey Shine Mentoring Program on Miami Beach as they turn seven beach blocks of Miami's coast into a cleaner, greener environment! Of course, feel free to leave your surly teenagers behind in New York City to hear master of gore Neil Gaiman read excerpts from his classic book The Sandman; this event, presented by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, is sure to bring out the D&D geeks (i.e., me) in droves. (Find us at the Helen Mills Theatre on West 26th Street, and bring Pez and Diet Cokes!)

SUNDAY: Catch ubermensch James Franco (pictured, *fans self*) compete against Salma Hayek, Kim Raver, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Jessica Alba, Molly Sims, and Jeremy Piven in the Hollywood Domino Tournament (yes, watching people play dominoes is about as fun as watching grass grow and/or paint dry, but the opportunity to ogle the hotness of my future ex-husband -- I mean, James Franco -- is all worth it. Plus, they're playing to benefit the art of the Elysium, so we can all suffer a little for a good cause...). They'll be at the Edison Ballroom on West 47th Street (appropriately, the Hell's Kitchen area...though gentrification often finds it being referred to as "Midtown West"...puh-leeze). Of course, if you can't get enough of brain-eating zombies (nice segue...), head uptown to the 92nd Street YMCA to find Neil Gaiman reading more excerpts from The Sandman. In fairness, The Sandman is the only graphic novel (comic book?) to land on The New York Times' best-seller list, so the weekend-long publicity blitz is justified.
