The bad part is Danny’s ex-wife might get the insurance money. The issues that make Danny tough to insure include his love of cigarettes and alcohol. The previous reports of Danny’s death where overdoses, so partying with women on a boat off the coast of France is a pleasant surprise. Once Danny was driving around Los Angeles when he heard a report of his death on the radio. Panic set in when he thought maybe he was really dead. Danny would be willing to turn this into a publicity stunt if there was a way to make money, but he’d have to hide out at home in his dungeon to keep a low profile and that’s not happening.

Initially many people reported feeling that the rumble was the caused by an explosion in the area, shock waves from the ground were felt as far away as Claymont, Delaware. Danny lived through a few earthquakes, but the one he remembers most happened when he was younger and Susan Day was staying at his home.

Sandy avoided hiring a lawyer for her divorce to save money. She doesn’t like the child support arrangement now, with their rotating custody schedule. The husband’s in the right though. The dispute is over $80, but going through lawyers is going to cost most. Paying a fifth week on a month is just a technicality; it’s not worth fighting over.

Christmas morning Danny puts on his red footie pajamas while Isabella and Dante tear through the presents under a tree that Isabella decorated.

To cover he told people that there was a fart button, which impressed the rich family that was throwing the party. Abby calls to ask is her pierced daughter would be a fun companion for Isabella on her trip to Dorney Park with Gibbons.

John wasn’t too happy that his mother called in to the show earlier because she only acts like a concerned mother when other people are watching.

8:07 – Entertainment News:
As expected, Michael Jackson's will was filed with the California court yesterday. The document leaves his entire estate, valued at more than $500 million, to the Michael Jackson Family Trust which will provide for his three kids, mother Katherine and several charities. In addition, Katherine was named guardian of Michael's three children, Prince Michael, Paris Michael and Prince Michael II and should Katherine have died before Michael, singer Diana Ross was named second in line. In fact, the document clearly states that the singer, "intentionally omitted to provide for my former wife, Deborah Jean Rowe." Wills can be contested. Deborah Rowe already signed agreements in which she gave up power and rights to the kid. Danny’s interested in the new found wealth that’s been uncovered.

Los Angeles School superintendent Ramon Cortines is unhappy that some of his students were used for a GQ photo shoot featuring a scantily clad Sacha Baron Cohen. The picture features Cohen as Bruno, his gay Austrian fashionista, wearing shoulder pads, tight red shorts and an athletic cup, surrounded by a group of San Fernando Valley high school football players. The district "allowed our students to be used," says Cortines, but he adds that the photos violate rules about the use of the school's name. The school's principal and athletic director have since been punished. Bruno opens in theaters July 10th. Isabella didn’t like Borat and doesn’t look forward to Bruno. She’s personally offended by Sascha Baron Cohen. 8:33 – Who Would Win In A Fight: Uncle Sam vs. Lady Liberty
To celebrate Inependence Day it’s Uncle Sam against the Statue of Liberty, they're the same giant size and Lady Liberty can move around. Metro takes Lady Liberty because she has a torch and sharp crown. Those are vicious weapons. Shila goes with Lady Liberty too. Danny takes Uncle Sam because Lady Liberty was made by the French, which is deceptive. Also, there’s no telling what Uncle Sam’s hat is made of. While the Statue of Liberty asks for the poor and weak, Uncle Sam wants you!
Tony takes Lady Liberty with her torch. Michelle also goes with Lady Liberty because of girl power. Scott takes Lady Liberty because her flame would torch Uncle Sam’s beard. Brud thinks Sam would spank Lady Liberty because she’s French. John takes Sam because he spent 20 years in the military and doesn’t care for the French.
8:50 – Matt picks Sam because Lady Liberty just fights poverty and hungry, Sam fought Nazis. Andrew picks Sam too because he thinks Sam is ripped. Junior is another vote for Sam because Lady Liberty looks likes she’s on the way to a night of love making. Brady is another Sam call, because he’s got a pimp hat. Sam dominates the phone calls and the texts. Sam wins!
9:01 – Danny gets Tourrettes Joe on the line; he’s one of the finalists in Live In It And Win. If Joe wins the car he’s going to take his boss Charles out for a night on the town. Danny thinks that a car wash might be top priority though. This is the most excited Gibbons has seen Joe, John and Michele since the first day. They see the light at the end of the tunnel and they didn’t quit.
9:08 – Michael Jackson fans are upset over the choice of a refund or commemorative ticket for the series of 50 shows he was scheduled to play in London. Danny saw Michael perform in the many phases of his career. Some ticketholders are saying that the offer from AEG isn’t quite what it seems. They want to hold onto the tickets because they’ll jump up in value. Michael Jackson items have boomed on eBay since his death. One that Danny found is probably listed by a guy name Neil Shapiro who would let people punch him anywhere but the face for a dollar.
9:34 – Forrest calls to offer Isabella a dollar if she punches Metro. Danny likes that idea. The problem with this is that she packs a punch. She punched a kid out at the age of 3 ½ at a beach in Detroit. Danny would let her punch away at the heavy bag while he taught a kickboxing class. He was flirting with some ladies when Danny wasn’t paying that much attention when she asked permission to throw punches, which he approved. Then he realized that a heavy bag wasn’t around and she knocked out a 5 year-old. She’s also hurt Danny on several occasions.
9:37 – News with Shila:
Three men beaten by Philadelphia police on the hunt for a police killer were acquitted Wednesday of all charges stemming from their arrests. Jurors who watched a 10-minute news videotape of the violent arrest said it did not influence their verdict on the attempted murder and other charges. They also found plausible defense lawyers' arguments that three young black men being pursued by police in May 2008 might have been afraid to stop, knowing they could be mistaken for the fugitive police killer. Four of the 18 police officers who were at the scene were fired. Eight others were disciplined or demoted in the wake of the highly publicized beating, which Mayor Michael Nutter called "67 seconds of seeming chaos out on the streets of Philadelphia." Being afraid to pull over for the police became popular after Rodney King and is actually pliable in court.
A robbery suspect who allegedly struck three banks in Camden and Burlington Counties in less than an hour has been arrested. She would hand the teller a note and demand an undisclosed amount of money. Tanisha Walsh, 20 years old, was apprehended at her home in Sicklerville Wednesday morning. Walsh has been charged with three counts of robbery and is being held at the Burlington County Jail.
According to a new study, obesity rates for adults rose in 23 states over the past year. No state experienced a significant decline. Mississippi was ranked the fattest state for the fifth year in a row, with an obesity rate of 32.5 percent. Alabama was not far behind with 31.2 percent. The report revealed that in 31 states, more than one in four adults are obese. The report also revealed that the rate of obesity is higher among 55- to 64-year-olds. Get in the way of Americans and their fast food and you’ll come back with bloody stubs where your fingers used to be.
Is it right for ambulance providers to charge obese people more for their services than they charge regular-weight people? Well, a third-party ambulance provider called American Medical Response . . . or AMR . . . increased its rates. But ONLY for people who weigh 300 pounds or more. AMR's base rate for ambulance services is $629 . . . plus $11.09 per mile. But now they're charging obese people double that. According to a company spokesperson, "We see patients who are 300 [or] 350 pounds, often up to 700 or 800 pounds. These patients need resources that are stronger and wider to support them, but also allow us to move them in a safer manner. What about professional body builders? Danny thinks it’s fair, but discriminatory. If someone is 500 pounds just push them back in the ocean.
Authorities said a man has been charged with domestic battery after he drenched his wife with a garden hose and elbowed her for smoking in the house. Police said the couple began arguing when the wife began smoking a cigarette in their home. When the wife picked up the phone and began calling a friend, authorities said the husband believed she was trying to call police and elbowed her in the mouth during a struggle to grab the phone. The woman was soaked with water when police arrived. The husband told police he had been watering the grass and did not intend to spray her.
