Bon Jovi legend's love is a hooker

Look who gives love a bad name

By Mazher Mahmood

July 3, 2011

Seedy sideline. . . Mitri on escort agency website

THE girlfriend of Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora is a £1,000-an-hour tart who peddles cocaine, we can reveal.

Just days after the guitarist was pictured with sultry Yasmin Mitri, she purred to our reporter: "I really like sex. I'm Brazilian - of course I like sex."

In the same clingy silver dress she wore for her night out in London with Sambora, who has battled drug addiction, she described her use of cocaine and how she could provide it.

Mitri said: "I like coke. I started doing it five months ago. It's £50 a gram. You have to order two grams. If you order some now, it'll be twenty minutes."

The model and actress has appeared on the covers of Cosmopolitan and Maxim and played a hooker in Danny Dyer film Pimp.

Life mirrored art when our man arrived at her plush home in west London after booking her through the Girls From Paradise escort agency.

Using the name Genevive, Mitri is described as "a professional published model" with a 32DD-22-34 figure who charges £1,000 an hour or £5,000 for the whole night.

After ushering our man to her tastefully decorated basement flat she poured him a glass of wine before cosying up to him on a cream leather sofa. Within minutes Mitri, who came to the UK two years ago, began name-dropping her famous lover.

She said: "My boyfriend is a famous musician. Do you know Bon Jovi band? Richie Sambora" I've been with him for over a year and a half. He lives in LA but we speak to each other all the time and he sends me presents."

Sambora has amassed a £40million fortune from hits including Livin' On A Prayer and You Give Love A Bad Name. Trilingual Mitri - she speaks English, Portuguese and Italian - met him at a party for Pimp at London's Mandarin Oriental hotel.

She said: "Richie came up and asked me the time. It was a silly chat-up line and I had no idea who he was. I'd never heard any of his music.

"He looked hot though and came and sat next to me and we got on really well. I went back to his room with my friend. He asked me to stay the night with him but I refused."

However, Sambora asked a flunky to get her number and rang to ask for a date. Mitri said: "We met up and he introduced me to Jon Bon Jovi and all the band.

" Back in his hotel room, Richie and I drank four bottles of champagne and I had sex with him.

"It was great and he was a good lover. He started calling and texting me all the time and our relationship became really close."

Mitri said Sambora had flown her to her native Brazil to watch his band play and has regularly visited her in London. Showing recent emails from the 51-year-old guitarist, Mitri bragged: "He's crazy about me."

After counting her £1,000 payment, the vice girl offered our man a lesbian show, saying: "It depends on the girl really but I like girls."

In her bedroom, Mitri perched on her white satin duvet and began to peel off her dress. Our man made his excuses and, as he left, glimpsed a hand-written card from Sambora on a basket of scented candles which read: "Yasmin, you're the best."

Looks like the guitarist's been strung along...

Here's some video of their first date, courtesy of Garry Marshal (LOL):

Where's Bon Jovi?

What Were They Thinking?! (An Angry Reader’s Guide to Gibson.com’s Top American Rock Bands)

With Gibson.com’s Top 50 American Rock Bands fully revealed, let the debate begin! We fully understand that we can’t please all the people all of the time and are preparing for the onslaught. What about Mötley Crüe, The Turtles and Alice in Chains? Isn’t Slash English? Buffalo Springfield had Neil Young and he’s a Canadian! How can you ignore Bret Michaels’ glory years with Poison?

Well, everyone who contributed to the poll – editors, writers and readers – can share in the blame. But, to redress the balance and open up more debate, we’re posting three bands that didn’t make the list, but probably should have. Or maybe not!

Bon Jovi

It’s hard to imagine – well, no, it’s near impossible to imagine – a top 50 American bands list that would exclude quite possibly, at least in terms of record sales (and probably concert attendance, too), the most successful American rock band of all time. The tale of the tape for Bon Jovi doesn’t lie: 130 million records sold worldwide (6 of their 11 studio albums hit either #1 or #2 in the States), 2,600 concerts performed before 35 million people, induction into both the U.K. Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame (for both Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora), as well as their first nomination from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Obviously, and unfairly, Bon Jovi suffers from an ’80s band “image hangover” (at least to those voting in this poll). Pity, too, because despite their image, Bon Jovi have always been the real deal. – Sean Patrick Dooley
