Richie Sambora's daughter Ava is featured in Teen Vogue

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Ava Sambora! The fifteen-year-old daughter of prime-time TV star Heather Locklear and Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora is a flier on her high school's cheerleading squad. "I like being thrown in the air!" she says. "It's an adrenaline rush." As it happens, when it comes to her budding acting career, the sky's the limit.'
"Ever since I was five or six, I've wanted to be an actress," she explains. "I loved attention and would always try to be onstage and in front of people. It was easy to figure out what I wanted to be." Apparently the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Her mom is best known for her roles in the ultrapopular eighties TV show Dynasty as well as the nineties smash hit Melrose Place, the Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off. "I always wanted to be on set with her," Ava says of her mom. "One of her first films I visited was The Perfect Man. I was super-starstruck because I thought her costar Hilary Duff was the most awesome person in the world."
Soon, Ava will have her own fan club. She made her film debut last year in the highly anticipated Judd Apatow comedy This Is 40, the "sort-of sequel" to the blockbuster Knocked Up. Not too shabby for a first role. "It was an amazing experience," she says. "Everyone was so welcoming." Surprisingly, the only acting jitters this natural admits to are prompted by a familiar crowd: "I really only get nervous in front of my family and friends, because I want to impress them," she says. "I'm very on top of it with people I don't know."

RadarOnline claims Richie was fired from Bon Jovi because he refused to go to rehab

"Richie Sambora is gone from Bon Jovi, but not in a blaze of glory, as his substance abuse issues led to Jon Bon Jovi issuing a “rehab or the road” ultimatum that left him on the outside looking in.
As we previously reported, Richie and Jon have had a stormy relationship in recent times, with allegations of substance abuse and personality clashes.
Jon “has no intention of taking him back without Richie attending a serious rehab program,” an insider close to the band tells RadarOnline.com.
“Six weeks ago, he and Richie had a two-hour call to patch things up, but when Jon made it clear that he would not take him back before he went into rehab, it was a deal-breaker.
“Richie had his heart set on being back for the tour dates in New Jersey — the talk did not end well.”
The insider said that Sambora’s inner circle is “very concerned that he continues to drink in excess, despite doctor’s warnings about possible severe — and life threatening — liver damage.”
Sambora’s friends are urging him to move “away from the Hollywood scene” and “back to the East Coast” to help care for his aging mother, the source said.
The band’s manager has confirmed the guitarist’s departure, saying that “there were a lot of well-documented problems, so this was the best decision for now.”
He did not make a number of appearances on the current Because We Can tour.
The lothario musician has been in the past for 30 years, and famously been in high-profile relationships with Cher, Heather Locklear and Denise Richards."

 There are a few problems with this story however: Bon Jovi's manager never made a statement. Also, it's very unlikely Richie's friends would  advise him to move away from his daughter Ava.
