Jon Bon Jovi is accusing someone of trying to sell parts of his "Soul."
A former employee of the Philadelphia Soul -- the 2008 Arena Bowl champs -- is being sued by team owner Bon Jovi and his Arena League Football team for allegedly making his own version of their championship rings and selling them to the general public.
According to a lawsuit filed yesterday, Joe Krause -- a former sales manager for the team -- organized an event at which the rings were for sale. Bon Jovi alleges that the design for the ring, as well as any use of the Soul logo, belongs to him.
JBJ is suing for damages and asking for all the infringing materials to be destroyed.
Side note -- Krause sued the team and Bon Jovi last month for $125K, claiming he still should have gotten paid even though the 2009 Arena Football League season was canceled.

He owns an Arena Football Team called the "Soul" -- but Jon Bon Jovi is being accused of lacking a heart when it comes to paying a former employee.
Bon Jovi is being sued by a former sales manager for the Philadelphia Soul AFL team -- which the rocker owns -- who claims he never got paid after the league decided to cancel the 2009 season.
The guy says Bon Jovi stiffed him out of $125,000 in back payments and severance.
Bon Jovi's rep had no comment.

Jon Bon Jovi may have seen a million faces and rocked them all, but, until now, he couldn't claim the most pointless title in footballdom: The Arena Football League Championship.
Bon Jovi is the proud co-owner of the Philadelphia Soul, who won the title game today by scoring more points than the other team.
