Check out past show logs from the month of February 2009
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/27/09
6:01 – Danny’s a little late; we almost got treated to a story about Shila’s walk home last night. Danny’s not feeling too hot today, he’s got a sore throat and cough today after doing a photo shoot for Philadelphia Magazine. He had to deal with a fact checker that does not have a sense of humor and was persistent about Danny’s quest to quit smoking cigarettes. The photographer wanted Danny smoking in every shot and even a few shower photographs so he was smoking non-stop last night.
6:09 – Danny dined at Brazilian steakhouse last night and had a great experience. They were serving meat non-stop. It’s the Hustler magazine for beef eaters. They give you a disc that sits on the table, heads for more food, tails to stop. Danny took the disc home so he could Yes Please/No Thank You his way through the day and it worked for green lights and sex. He then came across a movie shoot on JFK boulevard and noticed a new three wheel motorcycle that he wanted to show his girlfriend Amy and her sister. Amy didn’t want to disturb the shoot and as they get closer Danny realizes he knows most everybody on the set. Danny was about to leave when everyone told him that Jamie Foxx was screaming for him. He comes up to Danny, a great man hug, and asked if he could come on the show because he has a new CD coming out. The Yes Please/No Thank You token is magic!
6:36 – Comedian George Wallace is on the show. George and Danny first met in Philadelphia back in the Eagle 106 days. He was Danny’s first guest then. Danny loves George’s live act, he does shows at The Flamingo in Las Vegas. George always delivers on stage. George is known for his ‘Your Mama’ jokes and sometimes gets into contests with people in the audience going back and forth with each other. He is the master. Danny will refund your money if you see George and you don’t laugh? Maybe not, but it’s a nice thing to say.
6:54 – Danny’s made some progress in ‘Shaking Bonaduce’ but it’ll take some time to reach 1 million. Danny and Shila are looking for a place to kick a few back tonight for ‘Hey, Where We Drinkin’?’ Danny wants to head to the Northeast. Don calls in to say that if some key bullet points were printed on the back of the card Danny hands out it would cut down on the lengthy explanation goes through when meeting people and trying to convert them to listening to the show. Mike, a painter, calls in to say he wants more music on the show. Denise calls in to say Outta Wack Jack’s would be a great place to go tonight.
7:07 – John calls to tell Danny not to take pointers from Mike the painter. Bubba and Colleen calls to agree with John. As soon as Danny reaches the point in the ratings where he wants he wants to take more control and run things the way he wants. Danny was once told that he’d never be a superstar in radio because people don’t hate him.
7:11 – News with Shila:
A Philadelphia Police detective was wounded and a fugitive killed in a shootout in North Philadelphia today, less than a week after the funeral for another officer slain by gunfire, officials said. The detective, a 20-year veteran assigned to the major crime task force who was not immediately identified, was reported in stable condition at Temple University Hospital with a leg wound. He walked into the hospital on his own and called his family to report he had been hurt but was alive, officials said.
A former New Jersey beauty pageant winner and her mother are accused of passing fake $50 bills at two stores near the Jersey shore. North Wildwood police have filed charges of forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery and possession of forgery devices against 21-year-old Ashley Fuhrmeister — who won the Miss North Wildwood crown in 2007 — and her 44-year-old mother, Kelly Nowacky. Danny had a friend that was visited by the Secret Service for saying he was going to try printing out fake bills on a new laser printer on the air in Chicago.
A decision by the Obama administration to reverse an 18-year-old ban on photographing the flag-draped coffins of troops arriving back on U.S. soil has the support of several Long Island families who have lost relatives to war. During a Pentagon news conference Thursday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced that photographers will be allowed to document the return of fallen troops to the military mortuary at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, as long as their family members agree. Danny is patriotic, but also loves this country for what makes it work. He doesn’t want to see a bunch of flag draped coffins coming back from an unpopular war. Danny believes that if you’re at war with the US there are no innocent people. Wars are to win, not to stabilize.
Mike Nelson, a San Diego resident has embarked on a month-long "nothing but bacon" diet. He's eating just over a pound of bacon a day--that's bacon for every meal for all of February. His fondness for pork fat inspired Nelson to go on a bacon-y trip down memory lane and then the idea of "the bacon diet" was born. "There can never be too much bacon," says the man who admits he's "not a huge fan of vegetables." It’s not healthy, but it would be no big deal for Danny.
X-ray images caught a man trying to smuggle 44 snakes and lizards on a flight out of Australia in his suitcase. The 24-year-old smuggler checked in for a flight to Bangkok from Sydney airport last Friday but Customs officials allegedly spotted and confiscated his reptile stash when his bag was being screened. The haul included 24 shingleback lizards, 16 bluetongue lizards, three black-headed pythons and an endangered albino carpet python. They all sound like STD’s to Danny.
7:35 – Olympic gold medalist and TNA star Kurt Angle is in the studio. Winning the gold medal and the birth of his children are the top events in his life. Kurt went from amateur wrestling to the WWE against the advice of some of his peers, but it is physically demanding and rewarding. Danny’s never been hurt boxing, but did do some damage to himself in the wrestling ring. Kurt’s at the point in his life where he doesn’t warm up or stretch anymore. His body has gotten used to the daily pounding, it does hurt though. The events are predetermined, but the execution of the moves is where the magic is.
You can see Kurt wrestle live Apr. 19th at TNA’s Lockdown at Temple University’s Liacouras Center. Working in a steel cage offers the ability to do different moves and it’s a huge ratings bonanza for TNA. He’s held wrestling gold 13 times. Kurt tried out for the Pittsburgh Steelers, they liked him and were interested in signing him, but he didn’t want to give up a chance at the Olympics. He never played ball in college. TNA is the up and comer, with the WWE on top at the moment. Ratings have doubled since Kurt joined and he’s just focused on making it happen. Vince McMahon is successful, but he doesn’t have a lot of true friends. One of the TNA reps brought up the idea of Danny doing a PPV with someone he did the Hulk Hogan Celebrity Championship Wrestling with. He’d take on Dennis Rodman without a doubt. Danny calls out Dennis Rodman on the air. The winning might be predetermined, but Danny would make Rodman earn it. Danny will take on anyone from HHCCW, but Rodman is top of the list
Tim calls in to ask for advice on building his own wrestling federation. Danny thinks it’s a bad idea because it always leads to someone getting hurt. Kurt advises to find someone who’s got a lot of experience, don’t overextend the territory, work on the storylines, and bring in some legends. If Danny can’t find anyone from HHCCW to wrestle him he can take on someone from TNA, maybe even the women’s champ Awesome Kong. Whoever he wrestles Danny promises blood!

Her fiancé Hank Baskett is next to her playing videogames, they met at a charity golf game and became friends first and then it grew from there. She’s from San Diego, but was raised an Eagles fan. She enjoys training and working out with Hank in the offseason. She contemplated a career as a sports masseuse when going stir crazy and sleeping in until 3pm at the Playboy mansion. Danny partied hard there and did a few walks of shame in the outdoor changing rooms.
Kendra, Holly, and Bridget were all very nice to Danny’s girlfriend at the Reality Awards last year and signed some dog collars for Amy’s mom to be used in a charity auction. After some conflict in the press Kendra decided that her brother should walk her down the aisle. If all goes well she’ll come out Philadelphia and stay with Hank during the football season. That means she won’t have to Skype with Hank, which is like long distance webcam sex. Danny asks if Bridget was always faithful to Hugh, which gets a sarcastic laugh. Kendra’s sense of humor gets her in trouble and sometimes she forgets what she says in interviews.
9:09 - Rock God finalist Bill2, choice D, is on the line to ask for your votes. He lives for the live concert and has attended hundreds of show.

Trading two children for a bird landed three people in jail in Louisiana, authorities say. The biological mother, who was not involved in the alleged trade, is to be interviewed by authorities Friday. Investigators seek further details about a case that they say unfolded this way: Paul and Brandy Romero advertised that they were selling their pet cockatoo for $1,500.

The Colorado State Patrol is re-evaluating a $22 jaywalking ticket it wrote to a 58-year-old bus driver who was hit by a truck as he was helping two elderly passengers cross the street last week. Jim Moffett, a Regional Transportation District bus driver for 23 years, was the only person hit at about 9 p.m. on Feb. 20 at Federal Boulevard and 63rd Avenue. Moffett was taken to a hospital and his condition is unknown. But extensive media coverage has portrayed him as a hero and a gentleman for helping his older passengers. It never looks good when a ticket is written for someone helping an old lady cross the street. In Los Angeles pedestrians have the right of way all the time, but if you’re caught jaywalking it’s a $50 ticket. Shila dares police in Center City by jaywalking in plain view. No tickets yet!

Eric is another for Out of Wack Jack’s. Ray is the third in this segment. JJ invites Danny and Shila to Drexel Hill, that’s in the wrong area, but maybe next time.

9:56 – Danny’s Final Thought: Where are we drinking? Out of Wack Jack’s, 7 o’clock 3156 Willits Rd. in Northeast Philadelphia.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/26/09
6:02 – Danny and Spike had a miscommunication about working out yesterday so Danny went to work out with him this morning at 4:45am. Spike used to be a heavy dude, but shed the weight through working out and proper diet. Danny has him working with more reps and less weight so he doesn’t get too beefy, and Spike has incredible endurance because he’s a marathon runner.
6:05 – Danny’s BS detector is going off with the letter from Mickey Rourke’s manager because it doesn’t include the type of privacy disclaimers that a letter like that would normally have. Danny’s girlfriend Amy has a low ‘number’ and has only been with boyfriend, no random hookups or one night stands. It turns out that the guy that wrote Danny is a friend of Mickey, not his agent. He told Mickey about the whole deal, that if Amy could get Mickey for a night if Danny would get Penthouse Pet of the Year Taya Parker. It’s developed to the point that Amy is getting personally contacted by someone that could be Mickey Rourke.
6:27 – Danny’s girlfriend Amy is on the line, she never expected things to get this far. Taya is off the table for Danny, but Amy can still have Mickey Rourke. Amy went to run some errands yesterday while Danny stayed home so he got a little romantic and started to light candles at the apartment. She came back in a little flustered saying that she received some flowers. Danny was setting up some sweetness time and someone else sent his girl flowers. She reads the card; it’s an invitation to join Mickey Rourke at a charity event in New York City. She then called the florist and asked who payed for the flowers and they confirmed it was Mickey Rourke’s real name, Philip Andre "Mickey" Rourke, Jr.
6:36 – Amy became slightly reluctant, but Danny is rooting her on because this could be the story of a lifetime. Amy’s not interested in opening the door to an open relationship, but Danny’s certain this is a one-time thing and she’ll come back to him. He’d be proud of her if she goes through with it and doesn’t want to cheat her out of an adventure. What’s the next step? To finalize the travel details to a charity event in New York City for Amy to meet Mickey Rourke. She isn’t 100% committed to meeting him, but if she goes up there she’s going to follow through with it.
7:01 – Connecticut basketball coach Jim Calhoun's tirade at a freelance journalist posing questions about the his $1.6 million salary was an "embarrassing display," the state's governor said Tuesday.

7:33 – Who Would Win In a Fight? Mickey Rourke vs. Danny Bonaduce
Shila takes Mickey Rourke. Danny thinks in a boxing ring he wouldn’t stand much of a chance and in the warehouse Mickey would probably win too. And that’s killing Danny. Metro unearths some old articles about Danny and one includes an article that states Danny would box Mickey in Detroit back in 1994. It didn’t happen. Metro also points out an article from the National Enquirer article that reports Danny went to look for his backpack instead of calling 911 for help after fighting off some muggers in Los Angeles.

She Rourked him last night because she was fired up in bed. Greg takes Danny because he’s a berserker. Paul takes Danny because he’s from Philly. Danny takes 76% of the text vote and wins the phone calls 20-2.

Fox, 20 men in their 20s will compete for the affections of Anderson, who, according to a network press release, is “sure to break all the stereotypes people hold about who ‘cougars’ are.” The first girl Danny had sex with was 23 when he was 13, that’s not a cougar. But at 16 Danny was with his 16 year-old girlfriend and hooked up with the girl’s mother. Metro took an older woman to T.G.I.Friday’s when she let it drop that she hadn’t had sex in two years. In the parking lot he offered himself to the woman. They drove to a hotel to get a room, but they couldn’t book him because they had an electrical fire.

Denise calls to say she wants Metro, she’s 41, in great shape, and after years of marriage she’s a fan of the younger men.

The first lady said Sasha couldn't wait. "So Sasha says, 'April 1st.' I said, 'April.' She says, 'April 1st.' It's like, April!" Mrs. Obama said the family was having naming issues. "Oh, the names are really bad. I don't even want to mention it," she said. Names include Frank and Moose, which don't seem bad at all. The first lady said she was taken aback by the level of national attention The Dog Issue has garnered, but said it was "all great and gracious attention. People are just being as helpful as you can imagine." Danny thinks it’s a bad move that they pay for a dog in this economy, adopt a mutt!

Is that economical? NO!
9:30 – Spike comes in to talk about the Danny-Amy-Mickey Rourke situation. Danny thinks Mickey is being a gentleman by sending Amy flowers, Spike brings up that Amy does have a boyfriend, Danny. If Amy straight up cheated on Danny he’d breakup with her quickly, but this is a different situation. Danny doesn’t want to keep her from a great experience. Danny has opened up Amy’s world sexually and helped her blossom in bed. Spike doesn’t understand why Danny wouldn’t get a girl of his choice in return, but if the situation arises Danny would ask to re-approach and maybe play the Mickey card.
Spike is worried that Mickey will get all 9 ½ Weeks on Amy and get freaky and wild. Danny might be cool with things now, but what will happen the next time Danny sees Mickey on TV? Shila thinks that Danny is getting what he asked for. Spike thinks that Amy should turn it down and hold it over Danny’s head in the future. With his comeback Mickey will be everywhere. An LA news anchor Danny dated broke up with him and then he had to see her and the new boyfriend on billboards all over town. That hurt. Danny feels that he invited all the attention that Mickey is giving Amy, so he’s cool with it. If it wasn’t of his doing then he wouldn’t be as cool with things. Spike thinks there’s a lot of rage hiding in Danny and wants to hear how Danny feels the day after Amy and Mickey get together.
9:58 – Danny’s Final Thought: Be careful what you wish for, but sometimes reach for the stars, even if they’re Academy Award nominated stars.

Danny thinks his girlfriend is either colorblind or thinks he’s black. Since his days on ‘The Other Half’ Danny’s been putting product in his hair. Now he’s gotten used to putting stuff in his hair, but ran out. Danny opened up a new batch of product and upon inspecting realized that Amy, his girlfriend, bought him hair stuff for someone that isn’t white. He woke her up this morning to quiz her about why she got him hair gunk that wasn’t made for him and she shot back asking if it made him feel bigger now. She’s colorblind to the skin of other humans.
If you ever see Danny without a goatee it’s because there was a tragic beard dying accident when trying to darken his facial hair. Danny rode the Harley into work today; the sore thighs from bull riding didn’t make it easy. Danny thinks that the guy running the mechanical bull was playing favorites, Shila held the day-long record for riding it. Tracy, one of the girls at yesterday’s broadcast, calls in.

Pat calls in to say that kids in High School and college should not be doing steroids. Danny never found any use or got results from HGH. Danny says that kids in HS can’t mask ‘roids. Danny did two cycles of black market steroids that got him huge quick and then he realized that he was going down the wrong path and had to take other steroids to correct the damage he did to his body.

Danny states that any unnatural product that you put in the body can have adverse affects, whether it’s Tylenol or Lipitor.
6:55 – Heather the shot girl that girl that did body shots with Danny on Monday wrote Amy saying that she was sorry that they didn’t get to meet yesterday.

Shila got wound up and rowdy yesterday. Metro talked her out of participating in a lingerie contest after the broadcast ended at Bootleggers. He didn’t care about her being risqué, but he wanted it to happen on the show.
7:07 – Rusty, one of the finalists competing to be the 94WYSP Rock God in on the line to stump for your votes. He’s into some really heavy bands and when asked to name the single best rock band of all time he says Black Sabbath. Check out his video and vote for him here.
7:35 – Ant Atkinson and Buckets Blakes of the Harlem Globetrotters are in the studio. Danny grew up with a different generation of Globetrotters, but these new dogs teach Danny a new trick, how to spin the ball on his fingertip. The guys on the team are all accomplished players that Different players have different roles, such as dribblers that are known for their ball control tricks. A majority of the players don’t have tricks before they try out for the team, but they look for raw athletic talent and a great attitude, and they learn the tricks once they’re on the team.
March 3rd the Globetrotters will play the Washington Generals on the ROOF of the Spectrum. They’ve got a long history in Philadelphia that includes Wilt Chaimberlain and spending time doing charity work in the area. Danny doesn’t need a cool nickname like ‘Curly’ or ‘Buckets’ the guys like his name just the way it is. The rooftop game is closed to the public, but you can see them at the Wachovia Center on March 8th.
Harlem has changed and isn’t as rough as it used to be. Is it because of all the good will of the Globetrotters? The guys think it has and they start every season in Harlem playing for the local kids as an incentive for good grades and perfect attendance.
8:00 – Danny and Shila cannot say ‘Arnold Palmer.’ Shila was captivated by Ant and he was staring back at her. Danny thought he had dreamy eyes too.
Jim calls in to say he had a great time at the Mardi Gras live broadcast and his basketball nickname would be ‘Dan the Man Bonaduce Slam.’ That’s a great name for a shot or a sandwich. Eric just wanted to say ‘hello’ and he’s a big fan and enjoys the show. Danny appreciates that.

Megan Fox and fiance Brian Austin Green have split. "The relationship had run its course," an insider says. "It's completely amicable, and they are remaining friends." Fox, 22 (who’ll reprise her role as Mikaela in this June’s sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), and Green, 35 (a regular on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), now “are both focusing on their careers," the source adds. That translates to “I’m hot and you’re not.”
Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis’ autobiography is to be turned into a TV series. Writer John Sayles, has penned a script for a drama based on the Red Hot Chili Pepper’s childhood when he lived in West Hollywood with his father, who was known as Spider and worked as a drug dealer to the stars.

Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler will portray Stevie in "Dahmer vs. Gacy", an action/comedy about Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy battling it out helmed by and starring Ford Austin. Adler reportedly plays a guy that Jeffrey Dahmer picks up at a bar and then later murders by sticking a drill into his head. That’s a topic that screams comedy. Shila is fascinated by serial killer documentaries.
Art will imitate life when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger spends a few hours playing himself later this year in a movie by Sylvester Stallone. His role will be a familiar one: California governor. Stallone writes, directs and stars in the movie, a film about a group of mercenaries trying to overthrow a South American dictator. It also stars Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke and Forest Whitaker.
Conan O'Brien will have a familiar face when he begins his new "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" on NBC where he will reunite with Andy Richter ("Late Night with Conan O'Brien") -- for the first time on a daily basis in almost nine years -- as the network announced that Richter will return to its late-night lineup as the announcer for the new show that begins June 1. In addition to his announcing duties, Richter will participate in comedic pieces. Some people make a good team, but don’t do well as solo acts. Two Stooges aren’t as good as Three Stooges.
8:14 – Last night Amy, Danny’s girlfriend, found a speech from an award show that Mickey Rourke gave recently and Danny could see that she was smitten with Mickey. Danny starts to pick apart the speech and notifies her that liking Mickey wasn’t part of the agreement when opening up the relationship for a night of bliss. Danny would get Penthouse Pet of the Year Taya Parker and Amy would get Mickey Rourke and her chance at Mickey seems to be turning into a real possibility.
Ken calls in to ask what if Amy spends a weekend with Mickey Rourke and turns out to like him more than she likes Danny. That’s where last night’s fight kicked off. If she really likes him he’ll be mad, but if Mickey isn’t interested, then she’s a Mickey Rourke reject. The last time Danny had a reject it was a David Cassidy reject on the set of the Partridge Family
8:33 – Gibbons is in the studio. You’ll remember him from passing out roses on Valentine’s Day for the show, dressed as Cupid. Things aren’t going so well with his mother. Her husband allegedly had an intimate affair with someone he met on the internet. Danny’s wife thought that corresponding with women on MySpace was cheating, but Mama Gibbons’ husband was sending flowers and gifts to girls. Her husband got sucked into the world of Facebooks and started hanging out with old High School buddies, freshening up his appearance, and doing something with a webcam. He was sending ‘digital roses’ to a woman online and she confronted him on it and caught him in a lie. There was no confession of physical intimacy, but he would put on a ‘show’ while watching the other woman do the same on the webcam. Shila considers that cheating and so does Mama Gibbons. He’s cheated before in the relationship, before they were married. Danny says get rid of him now. She’s already filed for divorce.
Mama Gibbons is the bill payer in the relationship. Danny was devastated when Gretchen filed for divorce, but he was the bad guy. Danny’s willing to come through for her and take her home for a night if she’s feeling lonely. The day her husband left he posted that he got what he wanted on Facebook, but doesn’t know what to do with it now. Danny never met up with a girl that he would write on the internet. Danny knew the internet was trouble for marriages years ago.
Jennifer calls in to say she completely identify with Mama Gibbons’ situation. Her man was getting together with an old High School girlfriend. Jerry was on an X-Rated kind of MySpace site and was writing women, met with a few, and one of the girls started writing him on MySpace. His girlfriend started an investigation and busted him. Clay calls in to say he was married for eight years, had three kids, and found out his wife was e-mailing a guy she met on an online poker website. He kicked her out and it turned out when she went to go meet him the guy was 15. WOW.
Danny’s ex-wife corresponded with a stalker Danny had though his e-mail and ended up having a phone conversation with her after the girl was writing about meetings with Danny that never happened. Shila has a guy who she went to High School with that’s married writing her and asking her out non-stop.
9:09 – Bill, another finalist for 94WYSP’s Rock God is on the line. He lives for music. He likes Guns n’ Roses with Slash in the band, loves Zakk Wylde and wants to thank everyone who’s voted for him on the site. You can watch his video and vote for Bill here.

Philadelphia police have arrested the alleged blowtorch bandit for a second time, and this time, they have reason to think he'll stay behind bars. If there ever was a poster child for career criminals, authorities say 24-year-old Robert Barber would be a top contender, a man who's been in and out of jail.
"America's Dairyland" has just hired its newest cheese worker. But within a week, Daniel Seddiqui will move on to his next job. Seddiqui, a 26-year-old native of Los Altos, Calif., has embarked on a goal of working 50 different jobs in 50 states in 50 weeks. Danny liked Wisconsin, but didn’t like their slogan: Welcome to Wisconsin and enjoy smelling our dairy air.
One doctor claims he's discovered how to increase breast size without surgery or exercises. All you need is a cellphone. Some enterprising young Japanese doctor went and cooked up a ringtone that will grow your bust by three centimeters (or about 1.2 inches) if you listen to it 20 times a day over a 10-day period. How does it work? According to inventor and musician Dr. Tomobechi, buried in the ringtone is the sound of a baby crying, which works subliminally on women to ignite maternal instincts which in turn launch hormones that pump up your bust. Danny has a breast enlargement plan. It involves women with full mouths.
9:32 – Danny takes a call from April, a woman listening on the internet all the way from Kentucky who likes Danny’s honesty.
Ron calls in with a suggestion for ‘Shaking Bonaduce.’ His idea is to dress Danny as the devil and call it ‘Shaking the Hell out of Bonaduce.’ Danny needs the devil in him. Danny will shake 1 million hands, pass out a numbered business card to everyone he meets which will lead to prizes and cash for the cardholders.
9:56 – Danny’s Final Thought: You ever have one of those ideas that you think is just really brilliant at the time, like ‘Shaking Bonaduce?’ I’m gonna do this with a million people. Now I don’t mean to bring you down, but know what happens when you shake a baby? What happens when a million people shake a grown up? I’ve been shot, I’ve been stabbed, I’ve OD’d twice, and I’m gonna die for a radio stunt called ‘Shaking Bonaduce?’ I need my hand! Let’s just stick with my hand so it doesn’t hurt. “Shaking Bonaduce’ was your idea. You can live with it. I’d like to live with it too.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/24/09
6:01 – Danny likes working under the neon lights of Bootleggers. Don’t ever take directions from Shila, she took a wrong turn and went down MacDade Blvd. the wrong way.
A few weeks ago Danny bought a plunger, but it was the wrong kind of plunger. Danny wasn’t comfortable with letting the maintenance man from his building seeing his clogged shower. He forgot that he left the plunger in the shower, slipped and almost had an uncomfortable morning. The plunger hit him in the back though and he narrowly escaped a humiliating trip to the ER.
6:07 – The mechanical bull is being set up right now. Danny can’t grip due to some prior injuries, which makes opening jars a group project. He may give it a shot anyway. Shila’s been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and so has Danny. They both think it’s a one-time experience. Metro forgot the ‘normal’ stapler at the office, so he procured an industrial-strength stapler for stapling things to Danny. Suddenly Danny has second thoughts about stapling things to his body. There’s a difference between insanity and bravery. Danny was brave, now he’s insane.
6:32 – Danny was prepared for full on street fights with other stations in Philly, but the other stations are friendly and nice. Danny’s first idea to make an impact in the city was to hack off a toe if the show reached number one. Danny will walk around Philadelphia with the goal of meeting one million people and personally ask them to listen to the station for one week. This is a 3-4 year project.
Greg calls in to suggest the name of ‘Shaking Bonaduce.’ Brilliant!
6:50 – Shila’s sat on a mechanical bull, but never ridden one. Story of her life.
Tammy calls in with another name for Danny’s quest to ‘Don’t be a douche, Listen to Bonaduce.’ A different Tammy calls in and says that she found the show by accident and has been spreading the word about the show everywhere she goes. Jerry likes Danny’s ambition and willingness to work hard to get new listeners. Maybe Danny will take his project to Wal-Mart as a greeter.

Northern Trust, a Chicago-based bank, sponsored the Northern Trust Open at the Riviera Country Club in L.A. We're told Northern Trust paid millions to sponsor the PGA event which ended Sunday, but what happened off the golf course is even more shocking. Performances by Chicago, Earth, Wind, and Fire and expensive gifts for guests from the bank that laid off 450 workers in December, 4% of its workforce. Danny used to attend karate tournaments with one of the guys from Earth, Wind, and Fire!

According to police, Jones allegedly went into the kitchen of the casino and loaded up his clothing and backpack with the lobsters.
Going to church brought no peace to a man Tasered by police as he stood in the nude in 27-degree weather. A funeral Mass was being held inside St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church when police received 911 calls about a naked man Friday morning. Sgt. Gordon Cameron said the man told officers he was having problems with his parents and wanted to go to church. Maybe we can taser Danny soon! He has a tough time getting life insurance because he is Danny Bonaduce.
A spurned lover ambushed his ex-girlfriend and tried to cut out the breast implants he paid for by stabbing her, prosecutors say. San Bernardino County prosecutor David Foy said 28-year-old Thomas Lee Rowley attacked his ex in July 2006 outside her mother's home in Hesperia, some 70 miles northeast of Los Angeles in the Mojave Desert. Without Danny’s money his ex-wife would be an ugly bald girl with no chest or lips. Her ass is all hers though.
Tom calls in to say he’s coming down to the broadcast and that if Northern Trust canceled their party would have lead to people not working and a huge payout for backing out of the party. Shila understands, but with all the layoffs it’s a bad look to hold the party.
Danny challenges Metro to a mechanical bull riding contest. If Danny stays on longer than Metro then he gets to use a normal stapler, but if he doesn’t then he has to use the extra-strength stapler.
7:29 – Danny talks to Ashley, the girl with D’s who wants to win the 'Boobs or Bust' contest so she can get DD’s. She strapped the girls down so they won’t cause a problem on mechanical bull.
Now it’s time for Metro to ride the bull to see which stapler Danny will use to attach envelopes to his body. He can only use one hand to hold on. 12 full seconds on the bull!
7:35 – Now it’s Danny’s turn. 9 seconds in he uses both hands! He goes 17 seconds. Does that disqualify him? Rematch!
Metro goes 4.8 seconds this time. Danny goes 12.9 seconds and has saved his body from the monster stapler. Now it’s time to get some girls on the bull!
7:49 – Shila is certain that she’ll whip Danny and Metro’s asses in bull riding. She’s already beaten Metro. She goes 18.5, setting the show record.
Katie, the first contestant in ‘Boobs or Bust’ lasts 12 seconds. Ashley is up next. She goes 13.5 and first place.

Ratings for the 81st Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night were up significantly over last year’s telecast, the least-watched Oscars on record. Nielsen’s preliminary estimates show an average of 36.3 million viewers tuned in to the three- hour-plus awards show on ABC, a 13 percent increase over the 32 million who watched in 2008. Oscar ratings are down considerably from an all-time high of 55 million in 1998, when “Titanic” dominated the awards; two years ago 40.2 million viewers tuned in.
Hugh Hefner is hoping to convince Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet to bare all in his Playboy magazine. The Brit star is renowned for stripping off in her films - she has shed her clothes in many of them, including Titanic and 2008's The Reader. Winslet recently vowed never to bare all on the big-screen again - but Hefner still hopes to convince the beauty to feature as a centerfold in his magazine. Danny posed naked in Penthouse to prove that a notoriously naked photo of him was taken at a bad angle.
Spider-Man will have to wait a little longer for his Broadway debut because of production delays that have plagued the $31.3 million musical featuring songs by U2. Rehearsals for the most expensive show ever produced on the Great White Way have been put off from this spring, according to senior members of the production team, who declined to be named because an opening date has not been announced. Having gone to many musicals Danny knows the difference between stage stars and Broadway stars.
Maybe Val Kilmer really is running for governor of New Mexico next year. The movie star was walking the walk of a bona fide candidate on Capitol Hill this week. Last week, the actor, 49, confirmed to the Associated Press that he's thinking about it. ("If that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I'll run.") Then he flew to D.C. for some old-fashioned networking and friend-raising. Danny thinks that the way for Kilmer to make a contribution is to stop being a giant jerk.
8:48 – Did Danny break guy code by talking to a guy at the urinals in the bathroom? It wasn’t Danny that started the conversation, so no.
Danny introduces his c-blocking girlfriend Amy, who is making it difficult for him to have a night of fantasy with Penthouse Pet of the Year Taya Parker. Recently Danny received an e-mail from one of Mickey Rourke’s managers and that’s the guy Amy wants in order for Danny to get his night with Taya Parker. There’s a new letter that states Mickey will be at a black-tie benefit in New York City in March and Mickey would like Amy to accompany him. That’s the same night Danny has tickets to see Motley Crue at the Borgata in Atlantic City, but it’s her call. The audience at Bootleggers is all for Amy to get nailed by Mickey Rourke.

Legendary Las Vegas showmen Siegfried & Roy are planning a shocking return to Las Vegas for one final show - five years after an onstage tiger attack closed their show.

9:28 – Andrea is a full D and she wants to win some new boobs and go for a full E for her husband while riding the mechanical bull for ‘Boobs or Bust.’ That’s a good wife. She went 6.5 seconds.
Tracy is next, but before she goes in she gets wet down and she’s not wearing a bra. She goes 17.5 seconds.
Joanne comes out to get wet down, and flashes the crowd. Her stepson is in the audience. She wants to go DD’s for full on porn star status.
9:50 – The man on the stilts is riding the bull with a girl. They stop it before anyone gets hurt.
Danny introduces the finalists form Miss Mardi Gras: Janine from Ridley, Michelle from Essington, and Dawn from Philly. He then staples three envelopes to his chest. The girls each rip one envelope from Danny’s chest. He’s willing to bleed for you! Dawn wins the $500 prize for Miss Mardi Gras and out of his pocket Danny gives Janine and Michelle $100 each.
10:02 – Danny’s Final Thought: If the other stations aren’t willing to bleed for you F ‘em!
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/23/09
6:02 – Shila is wondering why Danny would ever go to India. Danny’s been there twice. He has no interest in going to Norway though. ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ won big at the Oscars last night.
Shila is proud that Indians are breaking though in American cinema. Danny and Shila have not seen ‘Slumdog Millionaire,’ but Danny has been able to piece together that it’s about a poor kid from a slum that makes it to the last round of a game show. India was very wealthy before the British came and stole all the jewels, but now there’s not much of a middle class system with the caste system. Shila’s family comes from the Brahmins, the highest level of society in India. Even with money it’s impossible to move up in caste and there has been progress in leveling of the caste, but the labels still persist.
Danny didn’t expect Mickey Rourke to win and wasn’t sure he wanted to Mickey to win. Mickey had to put his dog down last week. Mickey was also on the Barbara Walters special where he said that the Oscar would be nice to have, but it’s not real useful…for many reasons.
6:27 – Danny’s fired up because four finalists were announced for the design of his new 94 WYSP t-shirt. You can vote for them here. His face is also plastered all over a 94 WYSP station vehicle. He wants to drive the car with his face on it; Shila thinks that would be narcissistic. That’s par for the course as far as Danny’s concerned. One of the windshield washer spray things is right on Danny’s eye, so it looks like his eyeball is about to pop out of his head. Danny had a great weekend, introducing Jim Norton and Artie Lange at the Tower.
6:32 – There’s a $500 cash prize for the winner of Miss Mardi Gras at tomorrow’s live broadcast at Bootleggers. Danny’s girlfriend wants him to break his three drink rule, but he doesn’t think that’s a great idea to do at a live broadcast.
6:45 – Jay calls in to express his excitement for tomorrow’s live broadcast from Bootleggers. Danny wants to be number one in the city and he’s willing to do anything to do it.
Danny also got an e-mail from someone representing Mickey Rourke regarding the trade-off allowing Amy, Danny’s girlfriend, to spend a night with Mickey if Danny would get a night with Penthouse Pet of the Year Taya Parker. The letter states that Mickey would be very interested in spending a weekend with Amy. If Amy was legitimate with her interest in Mickey, then Danny would be inclined to let her have Mickey Rourke. Things with Taya might be little tense with the way Danny’s been talking about her.
Danny’s not in an open relationship, but the ‘get out of jail free pass’ would be a onetime deal. Danny thinks it would be an amazing gesture of friendship to allow her the exception of Mickey Rourke. Ultimately it will be up to Amy.
6:58 – Danny takes a call from Jerry, a listener who thinks that it’s not such a great idea. Things might not feel right between Danny and Amy after. Mickey Rourke might have been a name that was picked because it was unattainable, but it could soon be a reality. Mike calls in, the girl he was dating said he could open up the relationship and broke up with him after he went home with another girl. Shila thinks Amy would get cold feet. Maybe from being stuck up in the air all night.

Danny might have been married to her once.
A Missouri family says the credit crunch has forced them to put up for sale the 17,000-square-foot home they created in a cave. Curt Sleeper told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he and his family, like so many others, are victims of the credit crunch. He has been unable to obtain mortgage refinancing for the cave. So the Sleepers have listed the cave on eBay. The couple, who have two children and are expecting a third, bought the cave, a former mine, five years ago. In the late 1950s, it had been converted to a roller rink and night club called Caveland, where Tina Turner and other major stars played, the newspaper said.
7:31 – Johnny Knoxville is on the show. He’s a big fan of Danny on The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest Criminals. Johnny has a new show called Nitro Circus. It’s a television show centered around one of the world's premier freestyle motocross riders Travis Pastrana and his crew of top action sport athlete buddies. The show follows Travis and the Nitro Circus Crew as they travel around the world setting up outrageous stunts and pushing the human body to the limit, constantly looking to innovate the world of action sports.
Danny’s a big fan of people playing cards in the middle of a bull ring, the last one at the card table wins. Bulls always deliver. Johnny recently pulled an intervention on Steve-O. Danny had a few altercations with Steve-O, who had a $600 a day nitrous habit with an addiction to coke and PCP on top of that. He’s clean and doing well now.
Travis Pastrana jumped out of a speed boat going 60 mph and broke his pelvis and severed his urethra while filming a stunt. There were multiple penis injuries while filming Nitro Circus. Danny’s so fired up that he staples Knoxville’s resume to his chest in homage to the Jackass days. Knoxville loves it.
7:49 – Danny came back to Philly geared up to get into a street fight with the competition. When he worked at Eagles 106 there were radio wars with Q102 with employees getting into physical battles in the streets of Philadelphia. Times have changed and there aren’t radio wars in Philadelphia anymore and that’s cool by Danny. Nobody wants to fight, so Danny has to come up with a new strategy. Instead of making enemies Danny wants to make friends and wants to shake 1 million hands and ask for one week of their time.
To keep track of this Danny will hand out business cards that are numbered so there’s proof of progress. The numbers on the back will be used to redeem the cards for prizes.
8:00 – Danny’s plan for world domination starts on the streets of Philadelphia tomorrow. Dave calls in to say he listens religiously and suggests taking a dollar for every listener to put towards a scholarship fund for the family of fallen officers. It could be a bit much to ask people for their time and money, but it is a worthwhile cause. Danny’s going to work non-stop until the show is number one in the city.
Gloria calls in to invite Danny to her daughter’s annual barbecue to meet people and spread the word. Be on the lookout for Danny this afternoon.

Mike Myers' "The Love Guru" has found some disciples among Razzies voters who pick Hollywood's lowest achievements. And Paris Hilton is getting her own Razzies moment with three awards all on her own at a ceremony that spoofs the Academy Awards on the eve of the Oscars. "The Love Guru" won three Razzies on Saturday for worst picture, actor (Myers in the title role) and screenplay, which Myers co-wrote.

It's with mixed emotions that the 'Late Night' host taped his final show before beginning final preparations to assume Jay Leno's 'Tonight Show' duties June 1. "I'm someone who's very uncomfortable saying goodbye," Conan O'Brien admitted. "I tend to lie to people. I never say goodbye. I always say, 'No, I'll be back in five minutes,' and then I just scram." Danny equated the format change of his Los Angeles show to a bar closing. Just because the place you drink is closing doesn’t mean you have to stop drinking. At the end of the show Danny did get a little choked up though.
8:38 – The girls of Bootleggers are in the studio. Shot girls, bartenders, waitresses, they’ll all be at the live broadcast tomorrow morning. Heather, a shot girl, is notorious for making out with other girls while working. She’s never been rejected by a girl she approached and she has a dog named SoCo! Can she break down Shila’s wall? We’ll see tomorrow. She’s never made out with another girl…yet. Heather will start her out with a body shot and work her way up from there. To show her how it’s done Danny is going to do a body shot off of Heather. Metro thinks that it should be the girls doing body shots, which gets him a few rabbit punches to the ribs from Danny. He does a shot of Irish Whiskey off of her.
Now it’s Danny’s turn to lie down as Heather does a shot off of him. This is the fun you can expect at Bootleggers tomorrow morning.

A jail warden said Sunday he will ask a judge to move an 11-year-old boy accused of killing his father's pregnant girlfriend from an adult lockup to a juvenile detention center because the jail cannot accommodate the boy. Lawrence County Warden Charles Adamo said his 300-inmate jail cannot offer proper long-term care for Jordan Brown, of Wampum, who was charged Saturday with using his own 20-gauge shotgun to kill 26-year-old Kenzie Marie Houk. Houk was eight months pregnant with the child of Brown's father and also had two daughters, ages 4 and 7, who lived together in the rural home where authorities said she was slain as she lay in bed Friday. Metro thinks the kid isn’t guilty, Danny’s certain he is. $50 bet!

During an investigation of the home, the suspect's cell phone began to ring displaying "mom" on the incoming caller screen.
Dangling enough dollars in front of smokers who want to quit helps many more succeed, an experiment with hundreds of General Electric Co. workers indicates. Among those paid up to $750 to quit and stay off cigarettes, 15 percent were still tobacco-free about a year later. That may not sound like much, but it's three times the success rate of a comparison group that got no such bonuses. GE was so impressed it plans to offer an incentive program nationwide next year, aiming to save some of the company's estimated $50 million annually in extra health and other costs for smoking employees.
9:30 – Jonny Fairplay is on the air with Danny now. This is the first time they’ve spoken since litigation. Jonny took Danny to court after an incident at an awards show. Jonny had one tooth knocked out, and four teeth severely damaged, leading to hours of surgery. The timing was bad for Jonny because it was just before he left to do Survivors: Fans vs. Favorites.
Jonny put the sweatshirt he was wearing when Danny knocked his tooth out is up for auction on eBay. The money goes to Grass Roots Soccer, a charity that uses soccer to raise HIV and AIDS awareness. There’s no ‘h’ in Jonny. There’s no ill will between Danny and Jonny after the altercation. Danny saw a chance to make money, but Jonny was too damaged to hit the road and appear at comedy shows with Danny. He’d like to have Jonny come out to Philly for some fun. He’s just in Virginia now, so it’s quite possible.
9:40 –Mike calls in to say it was cool meeting Danny at the Tower over the weekend and that Danny went up another notch in his book for handling Fairplay, the most annoying contestant in Survivor history.
9:54 – Spike comes in to talk about the highlights of today’s show. Fairplay, body stapling, body shots, or Mickey Rourke and Amy? Mickey and Amy has to be it. A weekend with Mickey would kill Danny.
9:58 – Danny’s Final Thought: Well, not too long ago a beautiful young woman let me pour sugar on her and then do a shot of whiskey. There’s a song by Def Leppard called ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me.’ I believe it was written by the drummer and I would’ve cut off one of my arms today too.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/20/09
6:01 – Danny liked Shila’s t-shirt before he knew it was a ‘Golden Girls’ shirt. She went to A.C. yesterday and lost some cash at Black Jack, but learned to play craps. Danny prefers Pai Gow poker, it allows for long periods of drinking. Danny’s night wasn’t so great. He and Amy had a fight over sex. She’s on the phone; they had sex three times last night. Shila’s impressed by his stamina. After the third time in an hour she looked at Danny and asked ‘are you ok?’ She thought he looked like he was about to die and it scared her. She thinks its irresponsible boning, but Danny thought that panting, sweating, and the inability to put a sentence together was the result of great sex. Danny’s body is the most in-shape body she’s ever had, low body fat percentage, big muscles. She never did it more than twice in a day with anyone before Danny; he’s gone seven times in a day numerous times. Danny thinks she’s being rude by not looking worse after the third time.
Shila is impressed that Danny gets that much ass, he says that Amy is the horny one that can’t get enough. Danny did say that last night was the closest to injury he ever came from having sex. He wants her to replace ‘are you ok,’ to ‘damn, I’m grrrrrrrrrrrreat!’ Amy does not want to bone Danny to death, which would be embarrassing to her. Danny would be completely fine with dying in the sack, it’s not murder.
6:15 – Danny’s cardio stamina isn’t what it should be, but if he boned ‘til he died then it’s a rock star death to him.
6:33 – A D cup could be a handicap in Tuesday’s ‘Boobs or Bust’ mechanical bull riding contest at for the Mardi Gras broadcast at Bootleggers on Tuesday morning. Could Shila flash the crowd? She’s a fan of her A’s. She’s proud of her proportion, prove it! Not many girls have flawless symmetry. Danny’s new cause is to even out boobs across the globe. Shila’s mother had a double mastectomy, got implants after it and one got infected. She only has one now. It’s a bit of a joke in her family.
6:51 – Who’s Line Is It?
Danny reads a famous funny quote, gives multiple choices and the winner get meet Artie Lange and Jim Norton at the Tower on Saturday. Danny will be introducing them at the show.
‘Men are pigs, too bad we own everything’
A. Tim Allen
B. Andrew Dice Clay
C. Dane Cook
‘Honesty may be the best policy, but it’s important to remember that apparently dishonesty is the second best policy’
A. Dane Cook B. George Carlin
C. Carlos Mencia
7:28 – Mr. Skin in on the show now, Danny’s feeling great because he’s looking at naked chicks. The Anatomy Awards are Mr. Skin’s version of the Oscars. Lots of great awards to give out like Best Breasts, Best First-Time Nude Scene, Best Oscar-Nominated nudity, and Breast Picture.
English Muffin is his slang term for a British girl’s sweet spot.
Best Porn Star Gone Hollywood: Katie Morgan in Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Her chest isn't even, but that's fine.
Best TV Show: True Blood
Best Oscar-Nominated Nudity: Marisa Tomei in The Wrestler
Danny really digs Marisa and she's been doing more nude scene as she's gotten older.
Best Boobs: Asia Argento in The Last
Best Butt: Anna Faris in The House Bunny
Best First-Time Nude Scene: Lizzy Caplan on True Blood
Mr. Skin is free if you want to find out the timecodes and movies you can see the nudity, but if you join the site there are full reviews and a full archive of skin.
Kate Winslet has been naked in 10 films and won the Lifetime Skinchievement Award for her progress in film without clothes. Danny really likes the face she’s making in the scene above.
7:56 – Forgiveness Friday with Brother Bonaduce!
It’s time for some rapid redemption! Tony is a recovering drug addict and goes on binges on the weekends. He’s sitting in his car outside work and wants to get wasted. He works hard on weekdays, but he’s been blacking out on weekends and it’s causing problems with his girlfriend. His favorites are Xanax and cocaine. The easy solution is to do it to excess and try to push himself over the edge. Danny tells him that he has to choose his personal relationships or the drug and he has to take action. He doesn’t love his daughter the same way he loves his drugs. Who would he save first, the drugs or his little girl? The girl. He can ask for help at work without worry of being fired.
Mike has a problem with watching porn. Is he blind? No. His fiancée thinks it’s cheating and doesn’t like it. Danny watches porn and sometimes takes matters into his own hands. Danny says just be honest and invite her to watch it too. If that doesn’t work then just lie! Just use the porn when there’s no chance of being caught.
8:12 – Entertainment News: AC/DC fans rioted in the streets of Oslo last night after the rock legends played a show in the city. Their gig at the Telenor Arena in the Norwegian capital had been blighted by problems beforehand, according to reports. Traffic difficulties worsened following the show, with many people stranded due to long queues and stationary vehicles. Alcohol-fuelled fans are then said to have gone on the rampage, throwing bottles at police cars and tearing down crowd-control fences. None of this would have happened if Angus put on some pants.
A photo that appears to be Rihanna's face with bruises, scratches and swelling from an attack allegedly at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown was posted Thursday night. The close-up image shows a welt above each of the woman's eyebrows, marks on her cheek and around her lips, and general swelling. Hours after the photo was posted, the Los Angeles Police Department launched an internal investigation and asked for the public's help in finding the person who leaked it. A police news release said the image "has the appearance" of one taken during a domestic violence investigation, and classified its release as a case of serious misconduct that could result in termination.
If Jimmy Fallon is nervous about the premiere of his new gig as "Late Night" host, he'll have show-biz heavyweights Robert De Niro and Van Morrison to lean on. They'll be the guests for Fallon's March 2 debut hosting the NBC late-night show. Fallon replaces Conan O'Brien, who has his final show Friday before heading out west to take over the "Tonight" show in June. Danny thinks that it’s a bit and De Niro won’t be on the show because he doesn’t do talk shows and hates them. Danny learned a hard lesson from the William Morris talent agency when they dropped him and let him know the way they do business is by forcing smaller clients on projects so producers, directors, and talk show hosts can land the big fish too.
Danny will go out of his way to watch the Oscars on Sunday just to see what Mickey Rourke is wearing. Danny also likes awkward moments and when stars speak out about political causes and get cut off.
An actor who played a steroids dealer in the critically acclaimed movie "The Wrestler" has been arrested -- on charges he was dealing steroids. Scott Siegel, 34, was taken into custody after a high-speed police chase Wednesday night in Eastchester, New York, authorities said. He faces federal charges including attempting to distribute steroids and assaulting a federal agent, according to a complaint filed in federal court. The director and producer knew who they were hiring for the role in the movie. Some people on the show have even met him (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).
8:37 – Danny’s show is about sex, money and how to get more of both. Kristin Davis, the Manhattan Madam who ran the ring of prostitutes that ended up bringing NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer down has a new book. She used to run an operation out of Philadelphia. One author closed down the business for a night for two of the girls, Kristin, and her phone operator for $45,000. Usually she didn’t get involved in the business, but occasionally she’d come over to party with the Johns if they spent a certain amount of money, minimum of $10,000. She didn’t even put out and used the psychology of knowing that men want what they can’t have. One man would Nair the girls, Nair himself, shower with them and snort cocaine off the girls. Danny’s surprised he’s not in the book.
At one point Kristin had 110 girls working for her. As long as it’s amicable and disease free Danny’s all for paying for sex. She feels that it is a victimless crime and her $2 million bail was outrageous to her. Danny asks how the girls keep from cutting her out of the loop and going straight to the guy. She’d lay the smack down. DAMN! Also the men would be interested in new women. She also ran a tight ship and used credit cards; she charged by the minute and used in and out calls from the girls to make sure everyone was honest.
8:45 – Naming names in the book has lead to many threats. That pissed her off. She would have preferred to handle it discreetly and asked her not to write about them instead of threatening her. A Prime Minister of a country where prostitution is punishable by stoning was a client. The name she used on the credit card charges was ‘David Investments’ as to not lead wives onto their husbands trail. She was in jail for four months in solitary at Rikers Island. She’ll be at Cheerleaders Sunday night to sign her book. She’s finished with being a madam, but if she needs an investor Danny’s willing to help.
Danny doesn’t understand the extremely kinky sex. He’s happy just to have it. Chicks these days are willing to be more adventurous. Shila likes it rough, some aggressiveness and a little hair pulling when she does occasionally have sex.
9:09 – News with Shila:
At least 12 Rowan University baseball players have been suspended from the team for underage drinking. The report said two sophomore pitchers and a former assistant coach have been dropped from the Rowan baseball roster and a third pitcher, who was injured in a Feb. 6 off-campus stabbing, has not been practicing with the team. Rowan athletic officials have refused to discuss any disciplinary actions taken against members of the baseball team, citing department policy.
When he was a kid Danny filed a broomstick to a point so he could through it at a neighbor he didn’t like. Metro got into a standoff with the Rowan University soccer team which led to a beating and getting his earring ripped out. Yelling ‘he’s got a gun!’ will break up a fight quickly apparently. Danny was at a party while filming ‘Breaking Bonaduce’ while wasted when someone showed him they were packing heat. Danny pushed the guy and offered to teach him a new game called ‘Shoot Bitch.’ The guy didn’t pull the trigger.
Who Would Win In a Fight: Rowan University Baseball team vs Rowan University soccer team. Danny picks the soccer team because street fights always end up on the floor where leg strength is a bonus.
A man in England was jailed for taunting his neighbors by whistling the Addams Family theme song every time he saw them. Danny can’t whistle. Danny was cuffed and processed for skipping down the street. A woman cop took him in at 3am, was he wasted? He can’t remember. Danny was skipping down the street when a cop car hopped the curb, she jumped out with gun drawn and wanted to see his license. Danny said he didn’t have a license to skip, but he’d be willing to get one if she could tell him where to sign up for one. That’s probably what did him in. Once Danny took to a bite to the crotch in a street fight on his birthday while on vacation. Ouch.
9:40 – Ashlynn Brooke is in the studio. She’ll be at Al’s Diamond Cabaret in Reading this weekend. Danny’s impressed with her beauty and her rack. They’re post-factory. She’s from Oklahoma and was an overachieving cheerleader. Those days are long behind her. Danny has some cheers for her. This is her third time dance, but is a pleaser. If you want to see her naked she’s cool with that. The biggest group scene she was in involved six women and two men.
She started nude modeling at 19, did some research and went to Miami to get into porn at 21. She’s done 60 films so far. She’s contracted and gets a base salary, runs her own website, but doesn’t splurge on frivolous status symbols.
9:57 – Ashlynn and Danny met long ago. She met Danny and his girlfriend Amy at the Rainbow in Los Angeles when his ex-wife Gretchen came in and he asked Ashlynn to go up to Gretchen and say she was his new girlfriend. What a jerk move. Danny has no recollection of this at all. After getting a few more details Danny does remember. She’s a ‘good sport’ for putting up with Danny, so is Amy.
10:03 – Danny’s Final Thought: If as recently as last summer you run into a gorgeous porn star while you’re with your girlfriend and your ex-wife and you borrow her from her large boyfriend and you don’t remember that it happened. It’s time to cut back on the heroin.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/19/09
6:01 – Danny has missed a lot of sleep this week. He’s written e-mails he can’t recall, it’s like drunk dialing at the office. Andy ‘Boris Badenov’ Bloom spotted Danny the $10K he threw on the table in Los Angeles. That’s clutch.
6:05 – Danny also made it to his girlfriend Amy’s mother’s wedding. The groom got married in a kilt and stuffed a dagger in his sock, a tradition for the Scottish. Immediately after the wedding Danny started working out of Los Angeles and it started to take its toll. He had a jam packed two days and things got fuzzy between the last meeting and landing in Philadelphia. He pitched a reality show and was turned down, but another project came out of it that Danny’s very interested in.
6:10 – While returning to Philadelphia Danny was in a holding pattern. One flight attendant was creepy on the PA system. Danny’s delirious; he could’ve been stabbed by Mick Jagger, but wouldn’t be able to remember it. He has been stabbed and shot by women though.
6:23 – Danny will be introducing Artie Lange and Jim Norton on stage at the Tower in Upper Darby this weekend. It’ll be tough for him not to go on stage and entertain the crowd with some comedy, but understands it’s not what’s needed for the evening.
6:29 – Jose Canseco wants an apology. Danny’s sorry.
6:41 – Danny’s not fond of when rock band talk during songs. Drives him nuts. One example is the Partridge Family’s ‘Echo Valley 26809,’ when David Cassidy starts talking to the phone operator. Danny didn’t come to Philly to play Partridge Family songs though.
Mike from West Chester calls in to ask Danny about the Johnny Fairplay incident. Mike’s not a fan of Fairplay after he lied on Survivor about his sick grandmother. He does appreciate that Danny flipped Johnny over and busted his tooth.
6:47 –Danny’s excited to see Shila get liquored up at the Mardi Gras broadcast at Bootleggers. Shila will get wound out, but she’ll never make out with another girl. Damn it! You can expect to see Shila ride a mechanical bull, dancer her ass off and some beads & boobies.
6:54 – Danny might have been a little impulsive when buying his new house after a boss told him not to get too comfortable despite some indicators that the show is headed in the right direction in the ratings. Danny was out to prove a point that he wants to live in Philadelphia and really make an impact in the city and at the station.
7:07 – News with Shila:
Sandra Herold, owner of the 200-pound chimp that mauled her friend Monday in the driveway of her North Stamford home, stopped giving interviews Wednesday after she made what appears to be conflicting statements about whether she gave her pet Xanax just before the attack. Danny thinks that the chimp was hooked on pills, the owner tried to get her to kick the habit and he snapped.
Thursday is the fourth anniversary of the disappearance of a couple last seen at a Philadelphia nightclub. Authorities are once again seeking the public's help in finding out what happened to Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone Jr. Imbo and Petrone had known each other since high school and had recently started dating at the time of their Feb. 19, 2005, disappearance. That Saturday night, they were at a club on Philadelphia's South Street when they told friends they planned to return to Imbo's home in Mount Laurel, N.J., in Petrone's pickup truck.
Two unrelated stabbings last night in West Philadelphia - one among family members - have sent two men to the hospital, police said. A 32-year-old man is in stable condition at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania after his 49-year-old stepfather stabbed him in the shoulder about 7 p.m., police said. Meanwhile, an unidentified man also is being treated at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania after a man plunged a knife into his eye during an argument at 52nd and Chestnut streets at 9:30 p.m., police said. Knives are evil weapons; they’ve got a higher mortality rate than guns.
A fantasist stole thousands from his girlfriend after duping her into believing he was an MI5 secret agent sent to protect her from being poisoned by her boss. Danny’s been watching the wrong James Bond movies. Danny had a woman support him before. She worked to pay his mortgage for two years.
Eric calls in to say Danny is a fashion butcher and to ask for respect for Richard and Danielle, the missing couple. He grew up with Rich and dated Danielle when he was a teenager. He was questioned by police because of his friendship. Eric doesn’t want to make accusations, but says one of them might have had enemies. If Gretchen ever goes missing Danny would be the first stop for the police. He once came up with a great way to get away with murder on the air. He didn’t go into detail this time, but it has to do with boating.
7:37 – Who Would Win In A Fight? Travis the Killer Chimp vs. CUJO
Shila takes Cujo, a killer dog with rabies that has actually killed humans, not just hurt them. Cujo is huge, St. Bernards are big dogs. Cujo is the dogs what the great white in Jaws is to sharks.
Metro takes Travis the Chimp because of brains. He ripped a human’s face off! Danny thinks Cujo only has one weapon, the jaw. Travis could have the aptitude to use tolls and has many physical weapons like hands, teeth, and feet.
7:46 – Brendan calls in to take Travis the Chimp because he was withdrawing and Cujo’s rabies could allow him to make bad decisions. Roger also take Travis because he didn’t back off.
7:55 – Craig takes Travis because he took multiple gun shots and Cujo was taken out by a woman with a baseball bat. Tim takes Travis because chimpanzees are stronger than they’re being given credit for. Doug takes Cujo because chimps are small and Cujo took out humans and he’d be stud in the jungle. Mike thinks Travis could sererate Cujo’s jaw. Andy takes Cujo because he’s huge and his Pit Bull is tough to pin. Time to announce a winner: Travis on the phones 5-2, and 65% of the text vote.
8:08 – Entertainment News:
Arnold Schwarzenegger will be appearing in pal Sylvester Stallone's film in a cameo. He'll be playing as himself in "The Expendables." He will shoot a one-day cameo appearance in the action film, written and directed by Sly. The film will also star Stallone and Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Forest Whitaker, and Dolph Lundgren. Danny is already in line for tickets. It could be about knitting and Danny would be first to see it.
Four years after scoring the job of frontman for Aussie rockers INXS, J.D. Fortune is broke, homeless and back to living in his car -- just as he was doing before winning the gig on the reality TV series 'Rock Star: INXS.' Danny and Shila agree that it was in bad taste or INXS to get back to work after the way Michael Hutchence died.
Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher announced today that she's taking up stripping and plans to tour the country as a guest dancer at high class clubs. "I love to dance, and I'm an exhibitionist," Fisher said. "So I have a good time with the crowd. I already am very physically fit." She should dance to ‘Hit Me with Your Best Shot’ and ‘I Used to Love Her (But I Had To Kill Her).’
A company that promoted "Hendrix Electric" vodka is paying $3.2 million to the estate of rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix, which claimed the liquor, infringed on the Hendrix trademark and was created in poor taste. Danny tried it and it does have a poor taste.
One of the founders of the Australian ‘80s band “Men at Work” was jailed over the weekend in LA for a bench warrant on a charge of making criminal threats, the Los Angeles Times reported. Ronald Strykert, former guitarist in the group who rose to fame with the song “Who Can It Be Now?” allegedly threatened to kill the band’s lead singer, Colin Hay in Dec. 2007. LA County sheriff’s deputies locked up Strykert, 51, on Friday. He was reportedly being held on $50,000 bail. Danny once got in some hot water for lashing out at someone that was taunting a coworker. He said he’d show up to her work with a blowtorch. That got him a talking to from the prosecutor’s office.
8:50 – Spike is in the studio, Danny would like him to come to the Mardi Gras broadcast. His girlfriend isn’t so understanding about him being around topless women and liquor. She also doesn’t know why Spike doesn’t talk about her on the air, but he doesn’t want to get in trouble with her. Danny’s not happy with Spike because he’s been dodging their workout plans. It’s not tough to dodge Danny when he’s in Los Angeles for a weekend. Danny wants to get one more boxing match in on his 50th birthday against a sanctioned pro fighter. Danny wants to be able to say he had a pro fight. Spike wants to be able to say he trained with Danny before he died in the ring.
9:06 – News with Shila:

Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels and his wife Heidi are trying to adopt a child from Ethiopia, Cole said after spring training workouts Wednesday in Clearwater. They're in search of a child between the ages of 6 months and 2 years w`hose parents have both died of AIDS. ''It's a grueling process we have to go through to see if we're fit parents,'' said Hamels, who is on the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated. ''If I can bring a kid into this life and provide for somebody that doesn't have everything that is involved with growing up and provide better amenities. It's about trying to help someone out.'' Danny admits that he’d have a tough time adopting a child with a fatal disease and watching a child you love die slowly wouldn’t be easy.

A Delaware County plumber’s hope for freedom went down the drain after he admitted to several acts of pipe thievery from fast food restaurants near the Route 202 corridor. Copper at construction sites are valuable to the crack heads.
Residents of Philadelphia could join the ranks of many of their suburban neighbors and begin paying for trash pickup. A proposal under consideration would charge each household $5 a week to pay for trash pickups. It's estimated the move could save the city $100 Million a year. Deputy Mayor Rina Cutler says saving $100 million a year would help the cash strapped city save jobs and prevent cuts in other services.
A fman accused of kidnapping, handcuffing and holding captive in an adult diaper a 22-year-old woman he picked up off the streets in Detroit said he was trying to "save her," according to authorities.

Plenty of fun to be had with the "Boobs or Bust Bullriding" contest, a wet t-shirt contest and a Miss Mardi Gras contest! Doors open at 7AM. Just say 'Danny' at the door and get in FREE!
Ashley, 24, calls in to say she’ll be at Bootleggers on Tuesday for the Mardi Gras broadcast. She wants the implants that are the grand prize for the mechanical bull riding contest. She’s a D, but wants to be a DD and nipple position is important to her. She wants a chest that fits her frame better, she’s 5’5” 135 and worries about looking round. The crowd should go wild for Ashley.
Mike calls in to say that just once he wants to go to a bar one time and not spend a fortune buying drinks for girls. Mike got his wife by keeping her drunk for a whole summer. Shila thinks Mike is whining. Shila thinks that ‘Ladies Night’ should stay as it is.
9:56 – Danny’s Final Thought: Fat Tuesday only comes every Tuesday at the Bonaduce house. But Mardi Gras is once a year. It’s this Tuesday, it’s at Bootleggers. We’d really like you to come down and I will make my Final Thought as honest as I try and make this show, but not quite as funny. This is our first broadcast as a team where you get to see us all together and it would be our esteemed pleasure to meet all you guys and get you drunk enough to throw up on the bull.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/18/09
6:03 – Danny received a lot of e-mail yesterday, some stating that he ‘didn’t sound right.’ He’s been run ragged in Los Angeles with business meetings and promotional appearances. It’s been a jam packed weekend. Danny was so worn out that he almost turned down sex when his girlfriend Amy started up, but he followed though. He also got mail about the Gretchen fight and some asking why her boyfriend didn’t stick up for him. The biggest response came from the Listener House Warming Party. He got offers from limo drivers who would be designated drivers in exchange for passes to the party.
6:08 – The show is Danny’s life, but he won’t tolerate another appearance by Gretchen on the show. She was screaming about the fact that Danny backed out of appearing on her television show, but there were cameras all over the studio, so he was, in fact, on her show.
6:10 – Danny had an appointment to talk about a show he’s developing with the Style Network, dressed in all his pirate gear. They didn’t like his joke about creating a show called ‘How to Dress Like Danny Bonaduce.’ After a 20 hour day Danny arrived home to a girlfriend that was feeling amorous. Danny tried, but couldn’t go all night long like she wanted.
6:25 – Danny takes a call from Kim, she called in yesterday about Gretchen and after listening she thinks Danny discredited her very well. She wants to know where her invite to the Listener House Warming Party. Danny has to put a cap on the invitees right now because there’s no plan for the party yet and he also wants to make sure there’s free alcohol. Danny’s not worried about stalkers because those people already know where you are. Danny doesn’t mind letting people know where he lives, no matter the feelings of station management. Danny’s not willing to do keg stands. Shila’s excited about keg stands. He views them as a waste of time when drinking. He just prefers to drink.
Danny doesn’t like old school wacky radio wars between stations and shows. He has tickets to see Artie Lange and Jim Norton at the Tower.
6:34 – Danny was watching the A-Rod steroid press conference yesterday and thought he handled himself well considering what he did. Danny didn’t buy the purchase of over the counter streroids for an ‘energy boost’ though. Danny knows a little bit about that subject.
6:46 – Danny’s well versed in pharmaceuticals and takes a call from Don on the subject. Don used to inject himself with cocaine and would get his needles at pharmacies. What pharmacy? Wrong Aid?
Danny tried to order needles over the internet years ago and thought he ordered incorrectly. Hundreds of needles arrived at his house within weeks. The only steroid he does now is his asthma medication.
6:56 – Danny’s Horrible Hollywood Moment:
Christa from Langhorne wants to know if Danny ever partied with Steve-O, who is appearing on Dancing with the Stars this season.
Danny didn’t party with Steve-O, but he did have to lay a huge pimp smack on him. Danny was on stage with some listeners at a Rock Star: Supernova show and Steve-O came out to talk on the mic and was slurring without being drunk. Danny’s certain he has wet brain, a very serious condition that makes someone slur and stagger without being intoxicated. Steve-O walks off stage and then comes back in the middle of the set and was trying to grab Tommy Lee’s drum sticks. Seeing that bouncers were about to kick his ass Danny stepped in and tried to get him off stage. Steve-O saw Danny, laughed, and turned away when Danny picked him up and carried him off stage to the applause of the crowd and band. Gilby Clark called Danny the best security he ever had.
Steve-O was also at the Gene Simmons roast when he was so wasted that he tried to use a bottle as a catheter on stage and the bottle overflowed and some got on Danny. He didn’t like that. It led to a huge smack to the brainstem and being escorted off stage.
7:11 – News with Shila:
Court officials are reviewing the actions of a judge who angered many police officials when he objected to having memorial photos of a slain police officer displayed during hearings in his courtroom located in a police district headquarters. Flowers and pictures of Officer John Pawlowski were displayed Tuesday in the 35th Police District roll call room in observance of Pawlowski's shooting death on Friday night. The room doubles as a courtroom where preliminary hearings are held. Although the judge shouldn’t have put the picture face down, Danny will always take the side of the police, but the judge was unhappy that he was looking at a slain officer, which is not a bad thing. Danny would like to speed up due process and turn the witness chair into an electric chair.
Steve calls in to give more detail; the judge took the picture of officer Pawlowski face down instead of removing. Jail overcrowding is a huge issue. There would be more criminals off the street if there was room in the jails.
President Barack Obama signed into law his hard-fought stimulus plan, hoping the measure will put a floor under the collapsing U.S. economy. The president will put his signature on the bill in a highly unusual ceremony away from the partisan tensions still gripping Washington. He travels to Denver near the end of his first month in office — opening days of a new administration that have seen a relentless storm of economic bad news and public pessimism.
A Connecticut woman pleaded for police to "please hurry" to save a friend from an attack by a pet chimpanzee, according to emotional 911 recordings released Tuesday by Stamford police. "He's ripping her apart," Sandra Herold, 70, tells dispatchers about her pet, Travis. With the chimp squealing in the background, Herold cries out, "He's killed my friend!" The victim, Charla Nash, 55, remains hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after the chimp, once featured in television commercials for Coca-Cola and Old Navy, attacked her Monday afternoon, police said.
CNN's Zain Verjee got tongue tied when talking about airline peanuts and used the term "airline penis" instead. From now on she’ll just refer to the nuts.
7:39 – Danny recaps the huge fight with Gretchen yesterday. In some clips she accused Danny of lying, but they were all things he admitted to previously. Shila didn’t like that Gretchen claimed that baiting Danny into a fight and saying it wasn’t her idea, but she was part of it every step of the way. Of course she knew. Danny wasn’t a great husband, but she wasn’t easy to deal with. Gretchen wouldn’t put out for eight months after their daughter was born and that’s when he strayed. Danny’s kissed other girls while married, but only had one affair during his marriage. Gretchen’s living with a married guy now.
When Danny met Gretchen she was a nice waitress and now Hollywood has gone to her head and she’s out of control. Shila wants to know about the aftermath of the fight. She stormed off and Kevin stayed to hang out with Danny. That’s weird. Danny was hoping that Kevin and Gretchen would get married and she’d get off her payroll, but the fact that he didn’t defend her honor and hung out with Danny might not be good for their relationship. Danny doesn’t want to beat up on Gretchen, but she’s had a tough time moving on and living her life without bringing Danny up in everything she does. Danny wasn’t always a bad husband, but four or five other women in 18 years isn’t flawless.
7:52 – What really set Gretchen off was when Danny made fun of her bad horse hair weave.
Josh‘s calls in to say his girlfriend and ex-wife battle constantly and he wants to know how Amy and Gretchen get along. It’s an anomaly. Danny’s not so good at taking care of the ins and outs of daily life and Gretchen wanted to make sure that Danny had someone to take care of him. Amy turned down an offer to do a reality show where she taught Danny how to be a grown up, not common in Hollywood.
Nicole calls to say she thinks the reason Gretchen acted the way she did was because she still loves him. He’s not so certain about that. Gretchen declined an opportunity to do the Dr. Phil show because the goal of the program was to get her and Danny back together and she LOVES being on TV.

Megan Fox is light years ahead of the competition when it comes down to sex appeal - she has been voted the hottest sci-fi babe of all time. The raven-haired actress has landed the top spot for her turn as car-obsessed beauty Mikaela Banes in 2007 hit movie Transformers. Halle Berry came a close second as mutant weather-controller Storm in the X-Men franchise, while actress/model Milla Jovovich was voted in third by sci-fi fans for her role in The Fifth Element. Star Wars fans added Natalie Portman into the poll, while original sci-fi babe Sigourney Weaver's iconic alien-fighter Ellen Ripley came fifth. Megan Fox.

MC Hammer will star in a reality series on the A&E cable network. The performer, his wife and five children will be the focus of the half-hour, 11-episode show, which will premiere this year. The title, naturally, is "Hammertime." Executive producer J.D. Roth said the show likely will have the feel of an unscripted version of the Huxtable family from "The Cosby Show."
Frank calls in to say he saw Danny on CSI last night. He didn’t have any words. Danny wasn’t interested at first, but his agent persuaded him to take the role. He appeared in five episodes after his death. He was brought back in the form of news interviews.
Johnny Fairplay is getting rid of the jacket he was wearing when Danny de-toothed him -- by hawking it on eBay. Jonny's listing says: "It was my favorite hoodie but I look at it now of course with bad memories." Why it took him 16 months to sell it, we don't know... but we're guessing rent is due. He must be hard up for money. After the initial altercation Danny offered Johnny the chance to make cash by doing comedy and stage shows that ended with Johnny jumping on Danny and Danny throwing him over. Johnny never got back to him and tried to sue him instead.
8:36 – Heather Chadwell is in the studio. She was on the first season of Rock of Love and every other offshoot of the show since. She’s looking to get into movies and radio now. Shila liked the role Heather played on the first season of Rock of Love and Shila thought Bret Michaels came across as pervy and dirty on the show. Danny met Heather at a party years ago and used to work out with Heather, but had to move which broke her heart. Danny was certain they’d have sex and Heather knew that’s what he was assuming, but never put out. She and Amy are just friends, there’s not girl on girl lust between the two. Even if something happened Danny wouldn’t be able to keep the secret, he doesn’t lie to listeners. Heather is brutally honest too.
8:51 – Erin calls in to say she loves all the VH1 reality show and really likes Heather. She thinks she’s down to earth and cool chick. If Danny is in a bar fight he’s take Heather on his side over Metro.
Michelle calls to say she likes Danny a lot and she’s a convert from another station. Danny tries to be diplomatic about it, but Michelle’s not having any of it.
Jake calls in to ask if we can make Wednesday ‘Punch Metro in the Face Wednesday.’ Maybe Whack Metro Wednesday. Danny admits he wants to punch Metro often, but there’s no special reason today.
Bob asks Heather about the money on ‘Rock of Love.’ There was no money prize on Rock of Love, it’s the other shows like ‘I Love $$$’ that pay. Reality TV doesn’t pay much, it’s appearance fees and future projects that have the cash.
Jordan thinks Heather is honest and straight forward and appreciates that in her and wants to know the biggest lesson she learned doing ‘Rock of Love.’ She didn’t sleep with Bret, but she did fool around a lot. She also learned a great deal about the huge business of reality television. She also has better manners since doing ‘Charm School.’ You can follow Heather’s schedule on her MySpace page.
9:09 – News with Shila:
Court officials are reviewing the actions of a judge who angered many police officials when he objected to having memorial photos of a slain police officer displayed during hearings in his courtroom located in a police district headquarters. Flowers and pictures of Officer John Pawlowski were displayed Tuesday in the 35th Police District roll call room in observance of Pawlowski's shooting death on Friday night. The room doubles as a courtroom where preliminary hearings are held. Although the judge shouldn’t have put the picture face down, Danny will always take the side of the police, but the judge was unhappy that he was looking at a slain officer, which is not a bad thing. Danny would like to speed up due process and turn the witness chair into an electric chair.
President Barack Obama signed into law his hard-fought stimulus plan, hoping the measure will put a floor under the collapsing U.S. economy. The president will put his signature on the bill in a highly unusual ceremony away from the partisan tensions still gripping Washington. He travels to Denver near the end of his first month in office — opening days of a new administration that have seen a relentless storm of economic bad news and public pessimism.
A father allegedly shot his 9-year-old son in the buttocks with a BB gun, a revelation that came to light after the boy wrote a school essay about the incident. The boy had written an essay about the "painful afternoon my Dad shot me with a BB gun." The elementary-school teacher turned the essay over to authorities. Danny had a BB gun to scare coyotes in California and to prove to his daughter that the coyotes weren’t getting hurt he let her shoot him in the back. It went under the skin and he had to push it out like a pimple. OUCH.
9:20 – Rodney King is on the line. He’s out of Dr. Drew’s rehab; he was in there for alcohol. Danny thinks tobacco and alcohol tougher to get off of than hard drugs because of the availability. It’s been eight months dry for him. Rodney still gets headaches and nightmares from the police beating he suffered. Shila watches Sober House and is surprised Andy Dick isn’t such a jerk on the show. Danny thinks Andy will die young. Having seen Andy get his ass kicked a few times he’s also certain that if Andy put some muscle on he could be real trouble.
9:40 – Danny’s been pronouncing the last name of the WYSP General Manager incorrectly since November and just today learned the right way to say it.

Danny Bonaduce Show 02/17/09
6:01 – Danny is live from Los Angeles this morning and can’t hear Shila and Metro. Technical difficulties! He’s out west for his son’s birthday. Danny’s fired up because his ex-wife, Gretchen, and her boyfriend Kevin will be on the show today. She has requested that Danny stay polite, but it is Danny’s show and she’s just a guest on it.
He’s also excited that the offer he put in on a house in Old City was accepted. He needs some decorating advice though. Danny was stalling because his headphones aren’t working, but they’re good to go now. Danny wasn’t so fond of his old Los Angeles house because it was too big and empty.
Danny is ready to give a piece of his mind to his ex-wife and her boyfriend. They tried to bate him into a boxing match to get some publicity for her new reality show. They called his Los Angeles show to plant the seed, but Danny wasn’t having any of it because it puts the kids in a weird spot. He doesn’t have issues with the boyfriend, but knows that Gretchen is only interested in the spotlight.
Listen to the original call here -
6:31 – Danny takes some calls.
Dave calls in to say it’s a beautiful day in Philly and thanks for the coffee and donuts that Danny sends to construction sites. He wants to hear about Dante’s birthday party. Danny didn’t get to the party because of the time his flight landed. He got to see the kids and spend some time with them and wants the kids to come out for the summer. Danny might have some issues getting out of his apartment lease because the Ben Franklin House charges rent until a new tenant is found.
6:36 – Danny was able to make it to see his girlfriend’s mother get married. She’s the same age as Danny and he also has her name tattooed on his arm. Danny didn’t get one card from his family for his birthday and got cards from everyone in her family. Amy’s mom married a man a few years younger and a foot taller than Danny. His father in-law is going to be younger by four years. Danny got a little sad that the entire and the dog were mentioned in a toast, but no Danny. That hurt a little bit.
6:41 – Kim calls in to congratulate Danny on his new house and ask why he’s giving Gretchen a platform to gain attention. Danny knows that he’s in control of his airwaves and things might not go the way Gretchen wants later this morning. Matt wants to party at Danny’s new house. When the house closes it’s a shindig at Danny’s new home!
6:53 – Danny is convinced that his girlfriend Amy is open to experimenting with other women. While at Club Risque this weekend Danny got a dancer to give Amy a few lap dances and wanted a full report as to what transpired. Amy returns to the table like everything is fine, and then goes up to the bathroom when the dancer tells Danny his instincts are correct. No lap dance rules were broken, but Danny’s excited about the possibilities this could lead to. He’d also like to have a house warming party with listeners that’s fully sponsored. The move in will be easy because he has no furniture, but there’s a lot of decorating to do.
7:04 – News with Shila:
The city of Philadelphia is mourning the loss of another Philadelphia Police Officer whose life was cut short by gunfire. Officer John Pawlowski was the seventh Philadelphia Police Officer to be killed in the line of duty in less than three years. According to police, Officer Pawlowski, 25, and his partner were responding to a report of a man with a gun and a disturbance near Broad Street and Olney Avenue at about 8:20 p.m. Friday when he was gunned down. Danny credits police for really making an impact in his life and after three stints in rehab; it was his relationship with police officers that made him take a look at the way his life was headed.
Rap music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was treated in the hospital for facial injuries after being injured in a fight at a local hotel, Scottsdale police said on Monday. Security at the W hotel in the city near Phoenix called police after two groups of guests exchanged "heated words in the VIP area" early on Monday, Scottsdale police said in a news release. Shortly after police officers arrived at the hotel, they saw a man punch Knight, 43, twice in the head, police said. Suge Knight once threatened Danny on the air as a joke. Suge’s a big dude that you don’t want to mess with.
Just days after the nation honored the 200th anniversary of his birth, 65 historians ranked Abraham Lincoln as the nation's best president. Former President George W. Bush, who left office last month, was ranked 36th out of the 42 men who had been chief executive by the end of 2008, according to a survey conducted by the cable channel C-SPAN. Bush scored lowest in international relations, where he was ranked 41st, and in economic management, where he was ranked 40th.

Once as a kid at the Philadelphia Zoo and another time on the set of Bewitched. Who gets bitten by chimpanzees twice? Danny does!
7:33 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Brandon is having issues with his son’s mother. She married a new guy and wants to take their son to North Carolina. There’s a custody hearing coming later in the month, Danny thinks he’ll win. Instead of bouncing back and forth the kid would probably split holidays and summers. Danny doesn’t know any guy who wants 100% custody of their kids though.
Jim has a drug test coming up in a week and he smoked weed yesterday. Danny doesn’t see a way to win. Any pills or supplements will be detected in the test, but Danny suggests putting a touch of bleach on the inside of the jar which will lead to an inconclusive reading and take the next 30 days to work on diet and exercise to get it out of the system so the re-test can be passed with flying colors.
7:46 – Joseph wants to come to Danny’s house warming party and promises not to cause any damage. He’s been working a dead end job for almost three years. There was a lot of promise when he first started, but after the first year there no upward mobility. He feels stuck. When the economy recovers will the job? Yes Joseph says. Danny says get two jobs and don’t blame the job, it’s the economy, it’s not the job. When the economy comes back take that discipline and show it off at one job and the hard work will be rewarded.
Mike has a 23 year-old son who has a bench warrant out for him; he’s jobless, broke, and no common sense. He could go pay the fine for him and plead community service. Danny worked community service with Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland would drive by and throw stuff out the window just to give them stuff to clean up. Mike was worried that his son was going to get jail time, but that’s not likely.
Gale is a pet groomer who gets paid hourly instead of on commission because her employer said there was a tax issue with the payroll company. Gale looked into it and it was a lie. How does she approach the boss about the money? Danny says to go in and talk to the boss with some figures and to ask for the right money, but why does she wants to work for a liar? It is the best job she’s had and she’s very good at grooming. If she paints the boss as someone who made a mistake instead of a thief she stands a better chance of getting the money she’s owed.
Steve’s girlfriend lent a family friend money and he won some money with the loaned money and he owes her the cash. What Steve is upset about is that the guy is texting her saying that the only way she’ll get the money now is if she has sex with her. If he connects money and sex with a text over state lines it’s a federal offense. Don’t delete and he’s going to jail. The sex talk has tailed off and he says he doesn’t have the money. If there’s no proof there’s not much legal ground to stand on and Steve will just get an assault charge. It’s an expensive lesson to learn. Going into business with family and lending money to family and friends is never a good idea.
8:06 – Entertainment News:
Nine Inch Nails will tour later this year with the reunited Jane's Addiction, NIN frontman Trent Reznor wrote in a post on the band's Web site. Although he stopped short of saying the band was going on something more than a hiatus, Reznor confirmed that these will be the last NIN shows for some time, and that they will be "much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted" compared with last year's "Lights in the Sky" tour. "It's time to make NIN disappear for a while," he said.
"Friday the 13th" remains a fearsomely full-blooded franchise after Warner Bros. opened a remake of the original 1980 horror pic with a genre-record $45.2 million over the four-day Presidents Day weekend. Warners also copped the domestic boxoffice's silver medal as ensemble comedy "He's Just Not That Into You" dropped a modest 29% from opening Friday-Sunday grosses for an estimated $23.4 million over the long weekend and an 11-day cume of $58.8 million. “Jaws” is the scariest movie to Danny. He’s a certified diver and when he’s down in the water he starts to hear the “Jaws” theme. Any movie that can scare you 25 years after it was released is the best.
A week after Chris Brown was booked and released in Los Angeles on a felony charge of suspicion of making a criminal threat to a woman, he says, "Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired." Police have not identified the woman, but Brown, 19, was seen leaving a party Feb. 7 with girlfriend Rihanna, 20, before the suspected assault.
After buying a second-hand BlackBerry for a bargain £16 on eBay, the 28-year-old was amazed to find he had unwittingly acquired a priceless hotline to some of the world's biggest movie stars. When he scrolled through the hand-held computer's contacts list he found the phone numbers and email addresses of A-list celebrities including Jude Law, Kevin Spacey, Natalie Portman, Julie Walters and Julianne Moore. Danny has Willie Aames, Dave Navarro, and Stephen Colbert in his phone. Drunk dialing is nothing uncommon for Danny. Danny would have people stick their fingers in his drinks to see if he was staying sober or not.
8:34 – Danny welcomes Danny and Kevin into the studio. Gretchen would like Danny to be polite, he says he will concede and be a good boy. Danny admits that the failure of their marriage is his fault. She says that the divorce is water under the bridge now. Danny wanted to settle things out of court, but Gretchen wasn’t willing to do that because the stakes were too high for her.
Danny turns his attention to Kevin who’s in a few bands and played in a band that no one heard of called The Zeros. Gretchen and Kevin are in a band together with a name too difficult to look up or spell correctly.
Gretchen wanted to come on the program and talk about the issue with Danny and Kevin fighting. Danny thought it was lame and saw the call coming. Danny wants to get to the bottom of whose idea it was to get into the fight and wants to talk to the producer of Gretchen’s reality show. She wants to move on, but Danny lets her know that she’s on HIS show now. Some of the original Kevin call is played.
8:45 – Bob Boden, Head of Programming for Fox Reality is in the room now. The production company and Fox Reality were thinking of a way to get Danny involved in the show and that he’s known for celebrity boxing. Danny’s not hot on the fact that no one thought about the kids. Danny reads through e-mails that Gretchen had written him asking for meetings and some effort to get him on her show. She wanted him to go to lunch with her. Danny wants her to say ‘thank you’ for coming on his radio show, and she won’t. He turns her mic off. She storms off.
8:49 – Ryan calls in to say Gretchen is a crazy bitch and she’s money hungry. Danny says she’s not money hungry, just hungry for fame. Christina thinks there’s something wrong with Gretchen for wanting her ex-husband to fight her boyfriend, especially with children involved. Danny has no beef with Kevin and they’re both working to help raise the kids. If Danny does have a problem with Kevin it’s that he’s 6’5”.
Tom is on the phone to say that whoever put this idea together needs to be shot. Liz commends Danny for being a real man and putting the kids first and being mature. She thinks Kevin is a good guy for not pushing the issue and accepting Danny’s point of view. Gretchen is back on to explain her perspective. She says the she didn’t like the boxing match idea at first and Kevin thought he was being challenged by Danny initially. Gretchen is trying to get her reality show going so she doesn’t have to live off Danny’s money and was willing to carve out her own space in Hollywood. Danny thought Gretchen was a religious girl and stated on Oprah that she was only willing to have sex with men if she was married. Danny drops a bombshell that she had sex with another man a week before she married Danny.
8:59 – Danny pulls out an interview and photos from an interview in Stepping Out Magazine that includes nudity and doesn’t mention her by name, but as Danny Bonaduce’s wife. Gretchen thinks Danny is evil. Danny didn’t air secrets he could have over the course of the ‘Breaking Bonaduce’ years. Great fight! Her show would be useless without Danny.
9:03 – Scott is on the phone and thinks it’s hilarious that Gretchen still needs Danny. Danny doesn’t like it that she’s naked on the internet and lying about it. Danny challenges Gretchen to prove him as a liar and she can’t.
Tim brings up the fact that Gretchen hasn’t answered the question as to who thought of the idea of the fight. Chris thinks Gretchen is out of her mind and isn’t sure what kind of woman Gretchen is. She’s not the same woman Danny met years ago.
Danny puts $10,000 on the table and offers it up as prize for a fight with Kevin. Gretchen’s naked photos set Danny off. She says she’s not nude, but Danny knows otherwise. Dominic calls in to ask Kevin why he hasn’t backed out of the relationship. Kevin’s already married, it comes from the heart and soul and his is empty. He’s trying to get a divorce and this makes Danny livid because it’s considered adultery. There’s a law in the Bible about that somewhere, maybe in the 10 Commandments.
9:16 – During the break Danny complimented Kevin on landing a girl as great as good as Gretchen and he’s a nice guy. Danny bought most of the ‘new’ Gretchen. Danny was upset that Gretchen talked about his unit size and STD’s in the article, but he wasn’t the one with Chlamydia. She says that he wasn’t faithful from the beginning. If that’s true where is the girl then? She brings up Danny’s drug use. She’s done cocaine too. Gretchen brings up the time Danny cut his wrists, but thought she was in danger. Danny agrees with all the accusations, but she calls him a liar. She says she’s leaving. She’s out.
Kevin walks out too promising Danny he’s teach his son how to ride a bike and they discuss motorcycles on the way out.
9:23 – Mark calls in to ask if fame is that important. To her it is. John calls in say it’s the Danny Bonaduce Show and she came into his world, unarmed for battle at that. Matt calls in to ask why Danny didn’t have Gretchen change back to her maiden name. He can’t legally do that. He’s asked but she’s not doing it. Michelle thinks Danny handled himself well and wants to be invited to his house warming party.
9:32 – News with Shila:
A Montgomery County teen was among the victims who died when Continental Airlines Flight 3407 crashed into a home in near Buffalo, New York. 19-year-old Sean Lang of Lansdale, Pennsylvania was on the plane headed to Buffalo to visit his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Lang's mother, a Philadelphia school teacher, learned at work that her son was among the 50 people killed.
He’s 13. He scarcely looks 10. And according to a British tabloid, he’s a father. Baby-faced and only 4 feet (1.22 meters) tall, the boy, Alfie, was just 12 when he impregnated Chantelle, now 15, The Sun reported Friday. Shown in a video posted Friday on the tabloid’s Web site, the diminutive Alfie takes the newborn girl in his arms. Asked what he would do to support the child financially, Alfie asks in a small, high-pitched voice, “What’s financially?” Danny was able to land a David Cassidy castoff when he was 13.
Video showing a Chinese woman's three-minute meltdown at the Hong Kong Airport has become a YouTube sensation. After missing her flight to San Francisco, the woman throws a tantrum that was filmed by an employee of the airline Cathay Pacific. She is seen screaming at the departure gate and then falls to the ground wailing "I want to go! I want to go!" in Cantonese while an older man traveling with her tries to get her on her feet. Danny was taken off two planes by Federal Marshals. It was serious. He called someone ugly while boarding a flight. She was being rude to him and Danny told her that her looks were slipping. Ouch.
9:54 – Danny’s Final Thought: Sometimes you can make a terrible, terrible mistake and make a terrible ass out of yourself. And sometimes you can make a mistake that has a great ass attached to it.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/16/09
Last Comic Standing champion John Heffron is in the studio. He’s playing Helium this weekend. Get tickets here.
John and Danny used to work together on a radio show in Michigan. He thinks that the Karate Kid remake is passé because MMA has set the new standard. He also used to spar with Danny when worked together. In the ring Danny landed a good shot on John and it took John 20 minutes for the knock out to catch up to him. He got home and didn’t remember buying a VCR. Danny hit him so hard he went backward in technology. After 5 or 6 years of working out and training he thought about fighting Danny again, but Joe Rogan suggested against that.
Since winning Last Comic Standing his life get really hectic. He got married two days after winning and didn’t get to enjoy the fruits of fame. John went from super-single guy with a roommate who worked for Hugh Hefner to married with a 14 year-old stepdad.
John’s not hitting on Shila, but he lays on the compliments. He remembers meeting her at a station in another city. She dressed up for him today.
John’s anniversary dinner tuned into a yearly performance review. The time to kill between stage time leaves a lot of room for error, so John likes to buy stuff on the internet. Recently John’s bought Kevlar gloves, a Kevlar sweatshirt, and a DVD that will teach him how to fight in water.
John takes pride in being a man. Recently he got into a game of chicken with a guy who insisted in switching over to the side of the sidewalk John was walking on. John was going to stand up to the guy, who was wearing Crocs, but John’s wife cut him off and emasculated him on the sidewalk. John’s also in a weird phase when it comes to porn. At 38 if he watches porn with younger girls he’s a dirty old man, but if he watches porn with women his age he’s got a mature woman fetish.
2’10” Sassy Cassie is in the studio. She prefers to be called a dwarf or a little person. Midget is a derogatory term to her. She’s been stripping since June. She’s been on Jerry Springer numerous times and someone reached out to her and she had a good time dancing and it’s been all fun since. Cassie will be at Al’s Diamond Cabaret this weekend and some of the other dancers are in the studio with her. One of the girls texts Danny’s girlfriend Amy constantly.
Shila thinks Cassie is cute and wants to put her in her pocket and hang out with her all day. Cassie’s boyfriend is tall. Being short isn’t easy, but she gets around and makes it work. She’s able to climb up and work the pole well.
Danny brings his girlfriend Amy in to talk about texting with the stripper she’s been texting with. Apparently there are some texts that Danny is not aware of. Amy prefers not to talk about that on the air. Maybe Danny can get his threesome after all.
To celebrate Danny’s fight on Saturday he wants to take calls from listeners about what celebrity they’d fight and why.
Justin would like to take a few swings at Tony Romo so he could make a mess on Jessica Simpson’s face. Tom wants to fight everyone on ‘Brody Jenner’s Bromance.’ Jared would fight Kate Hudson so she could kick his ass. JJ would like to take on Tonya Harding WWE style, which is really possible these days; she’ll do anything for cash. Tony wants to fight Vin Diesel; he’s not as tough as he looks. Michael Moore has a challenger in Mike a caller wants to bash in his skull just because he’s annoying and for what he did to Charlton Heston. Chris wants to fight Danny, but the guy’s phone can’t last one round. Jeremy would like to go toe to toe with Rosie O’Donnell because she’s a pain in the ass and runs her mouth. Jordan would like to knock out Danny’s pal Corey Feldman that’s sweetness to his ears.
Sunny Leone is sitting next to Danny. It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia. Sunny was in a Debbie Does Dallas sequel, not a lot of grooming in the first one. Sunny is of Indian descent, just like Shila. She was looked down on until she won Penthouse Pet of the Year. Sunny’s is an experienced girl. She likes women, but prefers men. Danny believes his girlfriend has bisexual tendencies, could Sunny’s gaydar confirm Danny’s beliefs? She needs a good instigator to lead her to the promised land. Sunny will be appearing at Club Risque this weekend.

Ralphie in Media, PA wants Danny to expand on his run in with David Lee Roth. Danny’s had numerous issues with DLR over the years. Van Halen was the house band that Danny owned a piece of called The Starwood and then a few years later VH was big and Danny wasn’t doing so well. They were both at The Rainbow and a hot blond dwarf was hanging out in DLR’s entourage and he’s being rude to her by doing things like setting his beer on her head. Danny was wasted and was fed up with DLR so he stormed across the room and took a swing at the DLR in the middle and went down before he made contact and split his head open. Realizing that it was a bad idea he went to leave and invited the dwarf with him and she said yes. Once in his Firebird he drove her 40 miles away and as the ride went along Danny was more fascinated with the girl and walked her to her door. While walking through a park she took off her pants and leaned over a swing that was part of a swing set. The neighborhood wasn’t so great and there were people in the park and Danny starts to sober up and starts to notice all the things wrong with the girl. She had no knuckles, just solid fingers. Her elbows appeared to bend the wrong way. He starts to freak out a little bit and then makes an insane and annoying sound when she was reaching her peak and Danny split. To this day Danny doesn’t know if DLR knows he took a swing at him.
It’s time for a quick round of Lucky Man.
1 – A Chinese kid was shot in the eye with an arrow. The 11 year-old was practicing archery and somehow a friend aimed incorrectly and shot an arrow through the kid’s eye and didn’t stop until it hit the skull. He’ll live, but is he lucky? No. He’s a dick.
2 – A man in China slipped in a bathroom and got a faucet stuck in his eye. The man pulled the tap out himself when doctors were taking too long to decide what to do. He fractured a few bones, but he has no permanent sight damage. Is he lucky? No. He’s a dick.
George Foreman, boxing legend is on the show. One of the biggest nights in Danny’s life was the night Foreman won the title at 45 years-old. He always had a good right. He’d be losing matches and land the big right and take the win. George has a new line of cleaning products that are eco-friendly. When getting divorced the only thing Danny wanted was his George Foreman Grill. How did Foreman fix his bad image? He got into church, worked with his kids on the school work, and knew that he had to set a good example for his kids and after working hard at it then it became natural for George because he wanted to make himself into the person he wanted to be. Evander Holyfield didn’t have the character that Foreman has. Foreman has a special place in his heart for Danny.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/13/09
6:02 – Danny is consistently ridiculous daily. He’s the Flavor Flav of pirates. He even forced himself to write left-handed for two straight weeks for no good reason.
Last night Danny was getting crazy messages from his ex-wife. She wants to come on WYSP to explain her bizarre behavior and wants to control the questions Danny asks. It ticked Danny off years ago when Dr. Johnny Fever, Howard Hessman, refused to answer questions about ‘WKRP in Cincinnati.’ Danny told him to leave the studio because of his attitude. Danny’s interested in having Gretchen and Kevin on the show to explain their phone call to his show in Los Angeles, but they don’t want Danny to get into the awesome, dirty details. Danny’s girlfriend could tell something was wrong and Danny started to tell her about his issues with his ex-wife. Amy asked him not to put her in the middle of his fight with the ex. Danny kept falling for a conversation trap Amy was pulling by asking what was bothering Danny and then telling him not to talk about what was bugging him. With an ex-wife and a girlfriend pulling the same stunt it’s driving Danny nuts.
6:12 – Danny used to practice shooting inanimate objects so he wouldn’t shoot another person. Gibbons is in the studio now, he’s going to be all over Philadelphia dressed as Cupid passing out roses on behalf of the Danny Bonaduce Show. His mother shaved a giant heart in his back hair. Once a month Gibbons’ family has back shaving day where his mother shaves all the men in the family.
6:31 – Danny used to work at a ranch and after a few drinks some of the ladies would ride horseback naked. He thought it would be sexy, but it turned out that it wasn’t so hot. Horse hairs and awkward boob jiggling ruined the experience. Shila thinks that feed each other desserts isn’t sexy, but just plain messy. Metro thinks that food in the sack is awful. Chocolate syrup was not a good experience. Shila didn’t mind using it on a dude. Clean up is messy and it highlight’s every little nook and cranny that a girl might not want to have shown off. Sex on the beach is also on Danny’s list. Sand makes things messy; especially there are no towels available. Sex in the shower also. Shiila’s a fan of it, but only one can be under the hot water at a time.
Tim calls in to say that sex in the shower isn’t fun when someone’s but turns up the cold water by accident. It’s a hazard. Jake thinks that sex while driving isn’t fun when you can’t see, have to pull over to the side of the road, a cop shows up, and you get taken to jail. Danny doesn’t like rose petals on a bed because they bleed and make a messy scene. Baby talk during sex is a huge turn off for Danny too.
6:55 – It’s a Power Ballad Weekend on 94WYSP and Danny wants to know if ‘Every Rose Has It’s Thorn’ is a power ballad. He’s not into the sappy lyrics.
Simon calls in to talk about Poison’s ‘Every Rose Has It’s Thorn.’ He says it’s not a power ballad. He thinks there’s not power ballad. REO Speedwagon has some power ballads. Mike defines a power ballad as a well produced rock song that has acoustic and electric guitar and ‘Every Rose Has It’s Thorn’ is a power ballad and names ‘Nothing Else Matters’ by Metallica as a power ballad. While there is some disagreement as to what songs are and aren’t power ballads, you can send in your picks for this weekend by going here.
7:08 – News with Shila:
Authorites say 49 people are dead after a commuter plane crashed into a home in suburban Buffalo and erupted in flames.

Public Service Electric and Gas has extra crews working this afternoon to restore power to nearly 2,600 customers in its Central Division, which includes Somerset and Middlesex counties. So far, at least two deaths are being blamed on the wind. Mountainside police say the wind snapped the top of a tree and it crashed through the windshield of a car on Route 22 Thursday morning. Mountainside police Capt. Richard Osieja said the top of the tree impaled the 61-year-old female motorist, who was pronounced dead at the scene. State troopers responded on the Garden State Parkway to a three-car accident in Toms River. Sgt. Stephen Jones says a tree fell onto a car and left one person with a head injury.
Two students from the University of Pennsylvania are hospitalized with suspected cases of bacterial meningitis. The University Thursday sent out an e-mail warning students. Officials said one student is in critical condition while the other is stable.
Los Angeles police say they will investigate death threats against octuplet mom Nadya Suleman. Word that the 33-year-old single, unemployed mother is receiving public assistance to care for the 14 children she conceived through in vitro fertilization has stoked furor among many people. The cost of raising the kids in foster care would far outweigh the money spent on them through public assistance.
Sexy lingerie is always big with men, especially if it improves his chances of some late-night romance. Here are the “Five Laws of Lingerie” according to Frederick’s of Hollywood:
1. Offer to do her laundry: That way you’ll know her exact size
2. Green is the new pink: Don’t get red lingerie just because it’s Valentine’s Day. If green, blue or purple is her favorite color, buy lingerie in that shade
3. Judge a book by its cover: For a woman who’s comfortable in flannel, don’t get her seductive satin. Instead, show her that you know what she likes
4.Innerwear as Outerwear is always hot
5.If she says she hates her thighs she really means it. Give her lingerie that will flatter her favorite assets and help hide the areas she hates
7:18 – Gibbons checks in from the corner of Bustleton and Cottman. There were people waiting for him when he got there. The first up is a woman who’s excited to talk to Danny and wants him to be the minister at their wedding and wants to ride bitch on Danny’s Harley.
7:35 – Forgiveness Friday with Brother Bonaduce:
Mr. Foo’s girlfriend broke her tailbone while trying to sit on the toilet because he spread mayonnaise on it. The punishment now? Sanwhiches with no mayo! Mayonaise comes from the word manna, a gift from heaven and spreading it on the toilet seat is an improper use of a gift from God.
Ann has sinned numerous times, but she can’t stop watching reruns of the Partridge Family. There’s nothing wrong with nostalgia. There’s not great sin here, but if she watched the Brady Bunch there could be a problem.
Jeff was running errands, ended up at a strip club, had fun with the young girls and feels bad for being turned on while sleeping next to his wife. He helped out the single mothers and college students of New Jersey and took care of the wife and made her feel good. That’s spreading some good in the world.
7:56 – The two ditzy broads who were going to come in to get their photo taken by Danny for submission to Playboy bailed on the idea because they had second thoughts.
Danny likes two things: naked chicks and great information. Being able to go up to a pair of brianiacs at a party discussing a deep subject and blowing some minds makes Danny’s day. As soon as he can combine that and nude woman it’ll be on the air. It’ll be called ‘The Naked Truth.’ Great name. George Washington’s teeth were really hippopotamus ivory and took his dentist everywhere in case he was killed in battle he could have his dentures put in immediately so he wasn’t found toothless.
8:07 – Entertainment News:
Motley Crue bassist recently had a hissy fit on stage when someone threw a bottle of water at him. Nikki got hardcore with the fan, who turned out to be a girl. Nikki spits into the crowd and then tells her to suck his dick. After he calls her a bitch and tells her to get the fuck outta here, she then starts to cry. Oddly enough, it's the same water bottle he threw into the crowd only seconds earlier. Danny had a bad experience with Nikki after his daughter waited in line six hours to meet him at a book signing that he bailed on. A few days later Danny ran into him and Danny made sure he called his daughter and then went across the street to get some books for him to sign while Nikki waited.
The original members of Limp Bizkit — Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto, and DJ Lethal — have reunited after an 8-year hiatus. “We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other,” said Durst and Borland. “Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else. This is why Limp Bizkit is back.” Shila doesn’t like Limp Bizkit. If she wants to listen to that kind of music she’ll listen to the Beastie Boys. Danny thinks Fred is a tool, but can separate that from the sheer awesomeness of the band’s music. Danny sits back as Shila and Metro get into an extensive argument about Limp Bizkit and the Beastie Boys.
Ozzy Osbourneis currently in the studio in Los Angeles, California, co-producing his 10th studio album with Kevin Churko. It will be his follow-up to 2007’s Black Rain. When he sings he’s still the Prince of Darkness, but he’s tough to have a conversation with.
Beginning Sunday, Feb. 15, viewers across the nation can witness the origins of one of the year's most anticipated movies, when Twentieth Century Fox debuts an exclusive, three-part reveal of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the first chapter in the X-Men saga, on Fox. For this unprecedented promotional event – which is too big for one night – the studio has created three special 60-second spots that will air over the course of three nights on Fox. Together, with one spot leading into the next, the spots will form a narrative revealing the origins of Wolverine, and the epic revolution that pits him and other legends of the X-Men universe against powerful forces determined to eliminate them. Danny’s not a comic book geek, but he does dig the X-Men movies.
Directing giant Christopher Nolan has signed on to direct an original screenplay he wrote called Inception for Warner Brothers. The script is described as a sci-fi action film and described as “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.” I certainly hope that doesn’t mean the film is going to be anything like the tragedy that was The Cell.
U2 have found what they are looking for to promote their new album in the United States -- a five-night gig on the "Late Show with David Letterman." For the first week of March, U2 will perform every night on the late night chat show, CBS said on Thursday. It's the first time a musical act has been booked for an entire week on the show.
Joaquin Phoenix's bizarre antics continued on Wednesday's Late Show with David Letterman. While promoting his new movie Two Lovers, the star, 34, hiding his face in sunglasses and a heavy beard, spoke in monosyllables, didn't smile and mumbled his way through the interview. Danny figures rather than just feeling disinterred Joaquin was wasted.
Jake calls in to ask Danny to punch Metro in the mouth. He’s not happy that the girls that were going to posed naked bailed on the idea. Metro’s not fond of that idea.
8:40 – Danny checks in with Gibbons, dressed as Cupid, passing out roses today to celebrate Valentine’s Day. One woman with Gibbons thinks he’s doing a good job, but is not impressed with the diaper he’s wearing. Maybe the hair heart shaved in his back isn’t so disgusting.
8:51 – Melanie Fitzpatrick from the Sixers Dance Team is in the studio. Danny’s a little scatterbrained because she’s quite beautiful and she’s in the new Sports Illustrated swim suit issue. Only ten NBA dancers from the nation were included. They scouted her while at a game; she didn’t have to try out. She was on the show back in November to promote the Sixers Dancers Calendar, but this experience has been surreal for her. She’s mastering the modeling looks like ‘angry sexy’, ‘cute sexy’, and others. She got to keep the outfit she posed in, but she’s not certain when it’ll make its Philadelphia debut. Want to meet Melanie? Check out the 76ers Guys Night Out and see her in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
9:05 – News with Shila:
Collingdale Police have arrested a man for allegedly assaulting a two-year-old child who suffered a serious brain injury. On Thursday afternoon, Collingdale Police responded to a report of an incident that resulted in a small child being knocked unconscious. Police discovered the small child lying on the floor motionless, with a frozen bag of chicken parts on its head.
West Chester police arrested two West Chester University students, including one from Upper Darby who reportedly flipped over a car in the borough after the Phillies won the World Series in October. Those are some strong dudes.
A naked man on a motorcycle who crashed with an Arkansas state trooper's cruiser on a night when it was sleeting faces misdemeanor charges. A Searcy police report says 35-year-old Christopher A. Clark of Searcy kept riding when a trooper tried to pull him over during the Jan. 26 incident. Clark stopped abruptly several times in the street and then sped up quickly, until the trooper bumped him on one of the stops. Danny was never really arrested for indecent exposure. He was ‘fake’ arrested once though. Roseanne Barr invited Danny to see her perform some rock music at Tower Records. They were drinking beer and Roseanne Barr got belligerent and Danny took a whiz in her dressing room when some cops interrupted him. They busted his chops for a few minutes and then cut him loose after a good scare.
9:18 – Danny goes live to Gibbons, dressed as Cupid, stationed at the corner of 8th and Market now. He’s passing out roses for Valentine’s Day. He’s got a rowdy crowd surrounding him.
9:31 – Joy Behar is on now. She’s one of the original members of the show and has a new children’s book out. Danny really likes the honesty of The View. When he did The Other Half it was a poorly executed copycat of The View with lots of lying by the other co-hosts. When Danny was in the green room waiting to go on The View he was alerted to the dislike for Breaking Bonaduce that some of the women on the show had. Joy never saw the show and neither has Danny. After 10 years of a calm ship there have been a lot of new faces to come and go from The View and Joy has always been there. Joy likes the chemistry of the show now. She’s going to be at Harrah’s in Atlantic City at the end of the month and her book is about a dog that goes to obedience school and has a tough time.
9:53 – After some dispute over power ballads Spike is in to converse about what makes a power ballad what which are good ones. Danny like ‘Heaven’ by Warrant, Spike likes ‘Every Rose Has It’s Thorn.’ Meatloaf, and Chicago mud up the formula. Spike waffles on ‘November Rain’ by Guns n’ Roses, but it will be included in the Power Ballad Weekend and also thinks that Journey’s ‘Open Arms’ would beat ‘Every Rose Has It’s Thorn’ by Poison in a fight. Meatloaf is a power ballad MONSTER.
9:59 – Danny’s Final Thought: I was disagreeing about music with the Music Director, but the on one song he came onto my team…so I could have been right where the Music Director might have been wrong on one and he manned up to it. Then Metro and I had a disagreement and we all came together that somebody else might be right. So think of this possibility kids: Shila thinks Corey Feldman is cooler than Steven Tyler and that Limp Bizkit just sucks next to the Beastie Boys. What if she’s right and we’re all mistaken? What will become of us?!
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/12/09
6:02 – Danny reviews his street lingo. Ill, illin', chillin', hippity hoppity, holla. Danny’s old school too, challenging people to duels and his obsession with treason. Danny gets more articulate the more upset he gets. There’s a lot of nuances to a duel. Metro states that Raymond Burr was in a duel with Alexander Hamilton. He later corrects himself to say that it was Aaron Burr.
Danny has decided to ask Amy to marry him. Again. Danny has been engaged 11 times previously, generally just believing that it wouldn’t last and break up after creating huge arguments. Danny has decided to give Amy a skull ring with ruby eyes because she isn’t fond of diamonds for an engagement ring and then replace them with a proper engagement ring/wedding ring set when they exchange vows. Shila thinks Amy has a rock n’ roll style. When she met Danny she had more of a lumberjack vibe.
Danny called Amy’s orthopedist because the doctor scolded her for the shoes she wears. She had some foot issues and has to wear ‘grown up shoes’ instead of her precious Chuck Taylor Converse. Danny bought lots of great stuff for himself like bedazzled jeans and skull and crossbones bracelets while unsuccessfully looking for a ring for Amy.
6:27 – An ex-girlfriend of Roberto Alomar filed an explosive lawsuit alleging the former baseball star insisted on unprotected sex for four years despite having AIDS. The lawsuit, filed by Ilyna Dall, 31, Jan. 30 and transferred to U.S. District Court on Wednesday, contains accusations that could not be corroborated but portray Alomar as someone who demanded sex without a condom despite showing obvious signs of HIV.
In April 2005, Roberto Alomar told Dall he was suffering from erectile dysfunction and confided "he was raped by two Mexican men after playing a ballgame in New Mexico or a Southwestern state when he was 17," the suit said. Danny thinks that anyone that knowingly has unprotected sex while positive with HIV or full blown AIDS is guilty of attempted murder until the victim passes away and then it’s full on murder.
6:33 – Tomorrow Gibbons will be handing out roses in the Northeast for Valentine’s Day. Dressed as Cupid. Danny was hoping to strike fear into the heart of Gibbons, but he’s excited to run around the city in a diaper and wings.
6:48 – The Search for Mickey Rourke
He’s moved on from Rachel Evan Wood, his co-star from ‘The Wrestler.’ Who is he on to now? We’ll get that soon. If Danny can get Mickey to spend a night with his girlfriend Amy then he gets to have his one free night with Penthouse Pet of the Year Taya Parker who’s been flirting with Danny for months. After reaching out to Mickey’s managers they liked the idea, but it’s not easy to wrangle Mickey. Danny lets it go that he’s declining his chance to be with Taya Parker now. Shila’s proud of him. Danny’s not willing to put Amy’s feelings on the line. Danny doesn’t believe he can deliver Mickey on time and he likes Mickey more than Taya, but he just wants to nail Taya. Mickey’s a genius. Danny’s had a tough time wiping the image of Mickey with Amy out of his head. He’s even misheard Amy call him by his name.
7:02 - News with Shila:
President Barack Obama, campaigning to cast his economic plan in terms of real jobs and families, said Wednesday that machinery giant Caterpillar Inc. plans to rehire some of its laid-off workers if Congress approves a sweeping stimulus bill.
Veteran Bucks County lawyer Eric Birnbaum died Wednesday after he was gunned down outside a law firm early in the morning. About 9:15 a.m., Birnbaum arrived at the Gateway Shopping Center and parked his Honda Accord and exited his vehicle. As he got out of his car and headed toward the Terry D. Goldberg law offices a gunman shot him at point blank range in the back of the head, according to witnesses. Police say one of Birnbaum’s colleagues arrived at the law firm witness the shooting and saw a blue minivan fleeing the scene. Danny hates his ex-wife’s lawyer, but he really likes his.
For years, the juvenile court system in Wilkes-Barre operated like a conveyor belt: Youngsters were brought before judges without a lawyer, given hearings that lasted only a minute or two, and then sent off to juvenile prison for months for minor offenses. The explanation, prosecutors say, was corruption on the bench. In one of the most shocking cases of courtroom graft on record, two Pennsylvania judges have been charged with taking millions of dollars in kickbacks to send teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers. The world is upside down. Normally people bribe judges to stay out of jail.
Authorities said a transient man convinced a woman that he was the drummer for the rock band Foreigner, stole her Corvette and then crashed it. Police said a 48-year-old man befriended the woman at a Tampa hotel, claiming to be Cory James, the drummer for Foreigner. The band has had more than a half dozen drummers over the years, none of whom were named Cory James. The two met up later at the Clearwater Hilton, where police said the man conned the valet into giving him the woman's 2002 Chevrolet Corvette without her knowledge or consent. He crashed a short time later and ran off, and police say they used a dog to track him down. Years ago Danny wrote in his book ‘Random Acts of Badness’ a trick he used to get into exclusive nightclubs by lying about being a drummer in any famous band from the 70’s.
Mike calls in about the judge taking money to send kids to juvenile detention. Taking the money was wrong, but harsh sentences are alright by him. He doesn’t like the direction Philadelphia’s youth is heading. Danny had a punk hit him while cruising the streets on his skateboard so he chased him down and demanded an apology. Prepared to take a hit with the skateboard, Danny actually got the apology.
7:35 – Who Would Win In A Fight?
It started out as A-Rod vs. Michael Phelps. Danny wasn’t convinced it would be a fair fight and A-Rod would snap Phelps’ spine…however, what if they’re in the water??? There’s no shallow end and the participants can’t just swim away or hang out on the walls. Danny takes A-Rod, Metro goes with Phelps, and Shila thinks A-Rod will win.
Mike goes with Phelps because A-Rod is a choker and Phelps rises to the challenge. Joe thinks Phelps would be like a torpedo in the water and sink A-Rod. Finally someone agrees with Danny and picks A-Rod because of his size. Joe is a Phelps guy; swim long enough and A-Rod will drown. Tony thinks A-Rod just has to land one punch and it’s over. Ray thinks Phelps will lose because he’ll have the munchies and won’t want to harsh his mellow.
7:52 – Matt goes with A-Rod, he’s a big dude and probably has a vise-like grip, and he’d had the attitude of getting beaned by the Red Sox. Tom goes with Phelps; A-Rod wouldn’t be able to wind up for big punches in the water. Rob takes Phelps can just grab A-Rod’s leg and pull him under, he could tire easily too. Dalton takes A-Rod, if he lands a good punch to the ribs Phelp’s won’t be able to breathe. Grady takes A-Rod because Phelps isn’t Aquaman, ‘roid rage and weed slows you down. Ryan disagrees with Danny and takes Phelps, reach will win the fight. Chris thinks that A-Rod could get his hands on Phelps’ neck and land a huge right to win. Final votes are in and A-Rod wins on the text poll and Phelps takes the calls 10-9.
8:29 – Danny takes a call from Gloria who is taking his son to detox. He’s on some sort of opiate. Danny’s been though this and as sad and gory as it is, Gloria is doing the right thing. Danny had to leave his kids for three months and promised his daughter he’d never steal three months from her again. A year later he was back in rehab.
8:34 – Misstallica is in the studio. They’re an all-girl Metallica cover band. They’ve been together since May and they’ll be at the Troc Friday night for 94 WYSP's Tribute Wars. Danny’s noticed that drummers just want to have fun while guitar players over think their existence. Mini-Kiss is Danny’s favorite cover band. The girls met at the Paul Green School of Rock.
8:46 – Misstalica performs ‘Disposable Heroes’
9:06 – Gina from Misstallica is back in the studio. Metro has a crush on her, but Danny thinks she’s gay and has a bet with Shila about it. Gina says that after experimenting she’s decided she’s 100% straight.

A few minutes after 6 a.m. Wednesday, the driver of a black sport utility vehicle called 911 from his cell phone to report that he had just hit someone on 108th Street in Corona, Queens. He went back to the spot. But there was no body there. At 7:05 a.m. in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, the driver of a red van noticed a pedestrian trying to flag him down, yelling that he was dragging something. He pulled over and made a gruesome find: The body of a man — hooked through his sternum — was affixed to a steel plate that was part of the van’s undercarriage.
A young child had to be flown by helicopter for serious injuries he sustained after falling more than 7 feet down a well Wednesday night. The child, described by police only as being approximately 3 years old, entered a small wellhouse around 5:40 p.m. on a rental property on the Black Horse Pike. He tumbled into the deep hole and was immediately pulled out by his father, who lifted the boy to the arms of a family member. Shila had a fear of falling into a well as a kid and Danny knew a guy who wouldn’t walk over sewer grates for fear of having his keys fall down in them.
SEPTA is redfaced over its new "Philly Beer Week" day pass, which features the skyline of... New York City. Septa is selling a $9.00, one-day pass that will allow you to get around Philadelphia without driving during Philly Beer Week, from March 6th to March 15. One problem: the skyline on the pass isn't Philly -- it's New York, admits Septa spokeswoman Jerri Williams.
Colonel Sanders' handwritten recipe for fried chicken was back in its Kentucky home Tuesday after five months in hiding while KFC upgraded security around its top corporate secret. Nothing went afoul when the recipe was returned from an undisclosed location to KFC's headquarters late Monday in a lockbox handcuffed to the wrist of a security consultant. KFC President Roger Eaton was visibly relieved when the door to a new electronic safe was shut with the single sheet of yellowing paper stashed inside. "Mission accomplished," he said. After watching the Colonel Sanders biography on A&E Danny thinks he was out of his mind. KFC loves original recipe and thinks it’s worth protecting.
Lauren is on the phone and is amazed that she’s actually talking to Danny. She’s going to be at the Troc tomorrow night and wants to see Danny. He has to hop a flight to Los Angeles to see his son. Danny’s weekend also includes a trip to a strip club. Lauren wants a piece of Danny. She’s 23, 110 and 5’4”. She can go with Danny.
9:33 – Suddenly life is not looking so good for Metro. Radio engineers are very aware of the technical set up of their station and usually have a jerk attitude. They’re needed to make the station work and Danny’s expendable compared to the engineers. Danny’s gotten offers from 23 year-old women and he’s working two jobs, while Shila and Metro feel old. No one can keep up with Danny.
9:42 – A dude calls in to ask for tickets to Friday night’s show because he’s a big fan of Amy, Danny’s girlfriend who keeps him on a short leash.
9:55 – Danny’s Final Thought: I’m a tad concerned with the youth of America ladies and gentlemen. I’m working with a 25 year-old, a 28 year-old, and I date a 26 year-old. I’m 49 years-old. You combine all three of these little bastards and I can still bench press them. Get it together kids. Let’s learn to party a little bit!
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/11/09
6:01 – Danny is actually wearing pants that fit today. Metro called him Chickenlegs yesterday which forced Danny look in the mirror and go with pants that are a little looser. Shila thinks his jeans are gaudy; Danny just wants to be a rhinestone cowboy. He has worn women’s jeans before. Danny spent most of yesterday tracking down Bailey’s Irish Cream and a shaker for his girlfriend Amy while wearing pants that were like girdles for his legs. Is Shila a waif? Danny thinks so.
Jerry calls in to say that Danny is a little fruity wearing the bedazzled jeans that he does. Danny lives in Philly, some people are still learning that. Yesterday was the first time that someone mentioned to him that they thought he did the show from Los Angeles. There’s not much of a budget to advertise so Danny’s mind is racing with ideas about how to grab headlines and it could possibly involve breaking laws. Danny also put an offer in on a house last night.
6:33 – Parts of womens bodies Danny likes: underboob, pelvis, and just about every other part.
Danny was in awe of the handsomeness of Cole Hamels when seeing him the other night. It’s unfair a World Series MVP is that handsome. Danny once threw a ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game and it hit the ground 15 feet before the plate. Melanie, a Sixers dancer, is in the new swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated.

At a town hall meeting in Fort Myers, Fla., on Tuesday afternoon, Julio Osegueda told President Barack Obama that he would like to pursue a career in broadcasting. Several hours later, he landed a gig with the Class A Fort Myers Miracle, the Twins' affiliate in the Florida State League. When Danny started out in radio some DJ’s would shave the backs of listeners and whoever had the most hair by weight would win. Shila and Metro also had bad Nickelback contests.
A 19-year-old Upper Darby woman who was observed on a store surveillance camera singing, "The fire company is going to be mad at me," was arrested and charged with setting seven fires in the township early yesterday. Arson is considered a sexual fetish because the fire starters get off starting fires and watching the fire department come put it out. Volunteer firemen sometimes start fires so they can be heroes too.
Could Philadelphia's hated wage tax soon be a thing of the past? Should business taxes be drastically cut? Could the city's sales taxes be raised to make up the difference? Or maybe the city should increase property taxes?
An assault suspect led Los Angeles police on a chase in a luxury sedan for more than three hours before shooting himself in the head as he sat in the car surrounded by armed officers, police said. He died hours later.

7:31 – Penthouse Pet of the Year Taya Parker has been pursuing an affair with Danny since her appearance on the show. Danny’s girlfriend is willing to give him the night of a lifetime if she can get Mickey Rourke for a night. Amy has been trying to track down Mickey and has found a few numbers with connections to him. After reading a story about Mickey and his ties to restaurants in Florida and New York she uncovered phone numbers to Mickey’s associates. The numbers lead to dead ends! Danny is suspicious. Is someone lying to him? The author of the article? Amy? 411?
7:48 – Danny is almost impressed by Chris from the WYSP Extreme Team. He works in promotions and uses the job to meet girls and found two girls that want to be in Playboy while working at the Slipknot concert. He got the phone numbers and some provocative photos. The next step? Get them on Danny’s show and take one step closer to fulfilling their life’s dream.
While Metro calls the girls Danny takes a call from Jake. He was puzzled why people would want life coaching from Danny, but upon actually listening to what Danny has to say, he completely agrees with what Danny has to say and enjoys the show while driving wounded vets around Ft. Dix.
Nikki is on the line to talk about her involvement with Chris from the Extreme Team and Playboy. The girls put on temporary 94 WYSP tattoos and went around telling people they worked for the station. After the show the met up with Chris again and told them about their desire to be in Playboy. Danny’s put on live broadcasts from the Playboy Mansion and knows Hef pretty well. Their big selling point is doing a photo shoot together and they’re not afraid of getting intimate with one another. Danny is willing to photograph the girls if they’re willing to go fully nude and he’ll send the photos on to editors of the magazine. They’ll be in on Friday for some sweet posing and picture taking.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office asked police to do more investigative work before a decision is made on whether charges will be filed in the domestic violence case against singer Chris Brown, according to a spokeswoman for the DA. The same girl that shot Danny also stuck a car cigarette lighter on his shoulder during an argument. He didn’t get physical; he just jumped out of the car and split. No matter the upbringing there’s no excuse for abusing women or children. Danny had many instances of showing up to the Partridge Family set missing teeth, but he’s never spanked his kids.
Ever since Green Day started talking about the new power-pop direction they were heading on their much-anticipated follow-up to 2004's American Idiot , we've been dying for more details. And by details, we don't just mean low-quality footage of the band in the studio with Nirvana producer Butch Vig. Danny doesn’t want an album that tells him about his struggles, he wants a distraction from real life.
Scott Weiland will bring his first solo tour in a decade to a close this week. And while a breather is certainly in order, Weiland is already preparing for his next endeavor: A new Stone Temple Pilots album.
Heaven and Hell, the band featuring the post-Ozzy Osbourne members of Black Sabbath, will release its first album under that name on April 28. "The Devil You Know" (Rhino), featuring singer Ronnie James Dio, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Vinny Appice, was preceded by three new songs on the recent compilation "Black Sabbath: The Dio Years."
Paris Hilton wants to duet with Sir Paul McCartney. The hotel heiress- whose debut album 'Paris' failed to set the charts alight when it was released in 2006- cornered the Beatles legend at the Grammy Awards after-show party. Heather Mills stands a better chance of getting him on a song.
Former child star Jodie Sweetin has taken a step forward in the custody battle with her estranged husband over their baby daughter, after passing a court-ordered drug test. Sweetin launched a bid for joint custody of her 10-month-old daughter Zoie with estranged husband Cody Herpin late last year - three months after submitting a request for legal separation. Danny knows ‘very well’ has filed for divorce.
8:43 – Dr. Laura Corn is on the show now. Danny’s a big fan of Laura’s work and has found her books useful. Her book 101 Sexy Secrets allows couples to bring some adventure into the bedroom by having the man or woman open sealed envelopes to get the romance burning again. Larua dares Danny to try #7, but if he teases his girlfriend Amy too long she’ll probably beat him up. There’s a group of Laura Corn fans in the city that have parties and dare each other to try some of Laura’s ideas with their husbands.
Shila’s intrigued by a phone dare where the man has to have a conversation with a stranger dropping sexy words. Joy calls in to say she’s obsessed with Laura Corn. She and her husband use the books at least once a week and it’s jumpstarted their love life. Passport to Pleasure brings seduction from other cultures into the American bedroom. Danny looks forward to trying out #7 this weekend, maybe tonight.

The death of a 12-year-old boy who was hit by a bus outside school as he horsed around with friends was a tragic accident that does not warrant criminal charges, a prosecutor said Tuesday. Danny used to have bad dreams about the death of his daughter and thought he was alone, but got many calls from other dads having nightmares about their children being hurt.
A nun was attacked in the parking lot of St. Alice Church in Upper Darby, Pa., as the nun was returning home to her convent. "She heard somebody call to her, and she didn't know if they needed directions, or if they were calling to walk with her. As she turned, she was punched above the right eye, and the punch knocked her to the ground," said Superintendent Michael Chitwood of the Upper Darby Police. The suspect got away with the 82-year-old's purse. It contained nothing but her keys, a few IDs and a bank card. The nun told police she believes the suspect was a teenager, but could not give them any kind of description. That kid’s going straight to hell. Having been an addict Danny can’t understand why anyone would rob a nun.
Steve calls in to say he went to Catholic school and having been hit by nuns, he wouldn’t be opposed to hitting a nun. He got his hair pulled, knuckles smacked, and other atrocities. Shila had a nun choke her as a kid. Shila wouldn’t hit her now, but she’d steal her habit. Danny wants none of the nun.
School districts across the US are trying to improve student performance and low test scores. But few have taken as radical an approach as Adams 50 in Colorado. For starters, when the elementary and middle-school students come back next fall, there won't be any grade levels – or traditional grades, for that matter. And those are only the most visible changes in a district that, striving to reverse dismal test scores and a soaring dropout rate, is opting for a wholesale reinvention of itself, rather than the incremental reforms usually favored by administrators. Danny is a not a fan of new age, new wave thinking. He doesn’t come from a sports family. Games with no winners take away from the competitive edge. There are winners and losers in life. If there are no losers there are no winners and winning is important to Danny.
Jack calls in to say he’d punch a nun too after eight years in Catholic school. Duke is against hitting women and wouldn’t hit a nun. Tommy pulled his kids out of a private school because he thought his kids were getting soft. That’s the world’s worst lesson. Protecting feelings won’t make anyone work harder. Shila would send her kids to private school. Danny has set up his kids so they can have a jump start in life if he passes away, but he’s not going to pay their way. He wants them to be able to fend themselves. Jim was abused with rulers as a kid in Catholic school. He’d knock a nun out.
9:57 – Danny’s Final Thought: The question is: What is black and white and red all over? The answer is any nun that worked with any of you terrible people that will all be burning in hell. I’ll be there for other reasons, and I’ll have the place mapped out for you, but you’re going on the nun thing.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/10/09
6:02 – Danny is feeling much better after the weekend’s food poisoning. His girlfriend commented that Danny’s hiccups made the show sound like it was skipping. They lasted all day and he was bombarded with hiccup cures on his afternoon show that’s beamed back to Los Angeles. Shila’s suggestion was to hold a butter knife to his head and drink a glass of water. A doctor suggested a tea spoon of sugar. Metro brought Danny creamer instead of sugar which freaked Danny out.
6:09 – Last night Danny taped a commercial with the CEO of ProFlowers. A while back they got into a discussion about Bruce Springsteen. Danny owns the guitar Bruce used on the ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ tour and offered it to the dude. Danny offered to send it over soon, but the guy got a little impatient and Danny went to his ex-wife’s house in the middle of the night to make sure he got the guitar.
6:13 – Danny got home late and his girlfriend Amy had written cute little love messages on post-it notes all over the hallway leading to their apartment. As Danny got off the elevator he noticed the neighbor he’d never met reading the notes. Shila thinks it’s cute, but doesn’t understand the notes leading him to his own apartment. She’s got no soul. Metro thinks it was cute. Danny pulls notes out of his pockets predicting their reactions. He can see the future!
6:38 – Shila went to ‘He's Just Not That Into You’ at the UA Riverview last night with four girlfriends. There was a huge line at the concession line with just two people working and one of them quit on the spot. Danny applauds the girl’s bravery. Danny had a girl quit on him in the middle of a job, but she was a hooker.
6:51 – Artie calls in to say he walked off his job washing dishes because the manager talked down to him when he was a teenager. Danny also walked off a job at a steakhouse because someone didn’t like the way he spread his parsley.
6:53 – Whores-mopolitan! Signs your girl might be cheating on you:
The Over Interested Boss. If she’s more interested in pleasing the boss than pleasing you, then there’s trouble.
The Ex She’s Still Friends With. If Danny’s girlfriend ever talked to an ex she’d be kicked to the curb. There was a break up for a reason.
The Ex She Still Pines For. F them if you’re not the priority.
The Hands-On Personal Trainer. Shila thinks that’s not professional. Danny’s lived through this. Most trainers are in good shape and good looking.
The Guy Who’s Just A Friend. He's sneaky. Chicks dig effort and they avoid conflict.

President Obama appeared before a national audience Monday night to make the case for his economic stimulus plan, saying this is not your "run-of-the-mill recession." Danny wants to know what pork means exactly. The term ‘Pork Barreling’ basically means paying back campaign contributors.
A FBI agent fatally shot a man during an undercover investigation in Northeast Philadelphia Monday afternoon. According to reports, the FBI and the Major Crimes Unit of Philadelphia were doing undercover surveillance as part of an investigation into bank robberies. You don’t get life insurance for committing suicide, but what about collecting if you were in the middle of committing a felony?
Coatesville city council has voted down a move to release almost a million dollars from its emergency trust fund as it continues to deal with several arsons. Coatesville city manager Harry Walker requested that $900,000 be pulled from the emergency fund to help pay for overtime for police and firefighters.
Several people received a very early wake-up call this morning from Philadelphia warrant officers. The jostle out of bed happened because they did not pay their traffic tickets.
An Atlantic City casino's slot machines had nothing on its vending machines for one New Jersey couple. Police say the pair robbed 60 Coca-Cola vending machines on hotel floors of the Taj Mahal Casino Resort, making off with $15,000. Video surveillance shows a man and a woman using a master key to open the machines and clean out all the cash inside. Rob a liquor store and you’ll go to jail. Rob a casino and the only thing anyone will ever find of you is your fingers in a field. Danny would never stick a place up, but boyfriend/girlfriend outlaws are romantic.
7:34 – Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Laurie wants to see her children that she’s been away from for three years. Danny’s been away from his kids for a few months and feels for her. Laurie had shared custody and the ex wouldn’t return them and things got messy when she was accused of beating her children and other atrocities. The judge didn’t ask to see medical records and Family Services found no cause alarm for child abuse, but perhaps domestic violence. Danny was horrified to learn that abusive parents beat their kids on the head and hairline to hide the marks. Danny thinks Laurie needs a better lawyer to take on the case and then sue the last lawyer for incompetence. The time can’t be given back, but there’s still an opportunity to do something now.
Jim was pulled over and was getting a warning when his friend in the car pulled weed out of his pocket and stuck it between the seats when the cop noticed it and that’s when the trouble started. The officer took him to the station and booked him for possession and a possible DUI because of a blood test. He can learn the results of the DUI before he goes to court. If his blood alcohol level is above the legal limit then he should get into rehab and start working towards showing the judge that he’s changing.
Ron has a neighbor that wants help with his divorce and is making life difficult for Ron and his fiancé. The guy is so unhappy that he can’t stand to see other people enjoying themselves. The neighbor is trying to drive them apart. Ron should sit the guy down and have a talk with the guy. People are aware of what they’re doing and the choices they make. Misery loves company and he wants a friend. Either cut him out or straighten him out. Ron feels smothered by the guy too, it’s bordering on harassment with constant phone calls. Having lived through them Danny knows that neighbor wars suck.

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose says there is no chance for the original lineup to reunite unless he or ex-bandmate Slash dies. The outspoken lead singer told Billboard magazine that the longstanding rift between the pair could not be healed, though he hinted at a possible tour for the current Guns N' Roses lineup.
Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler has been ordered to check himself back into rehab following his recent arrest for failing to complete court-ordered community service. The musician was detained by police on 26 January and held for not finishing the order in the time frame set by the judge. Danny think there’s permanent damage done from the drugs and falls when wasted. Waking up every day and knowing that you blew something as big as Guns n’ Roses would make anyone want to waste their life away.
Christian Bale's sister wants the actor to seek professional help for his temper, after hearing his recently leaked foul-mouthed movie set rant. An audio clip of Bale's intense four-minute tirade on the set of the forthcoming Terminator Salvation movie surfaced online. Danny doesn’t like the spin that people are putting on Bale in this situation. Russell Crowe threw a phone at a hotel clerk and Cinderella Man tanked.
According to the New York Times, a supersize photo of a male organ that Will Ferrell suggests belongs to former President George W. Bush has driven at least six audience members to storm out of Ferrell's Broadway play. Danny would walk out on the show if Bush was the current President. He doesn’t stand for treason. You can speak ill of the President, but you cannot deny him as the leader. If treason is breach of allegiance then Etta James is guilty of treason.
One day after announcing the title of their new album `21st Century Breakdown` at the Grammy Awards, Green Day has unveiled the artwork for the cover. ‘21st Century Breakdown’ will be the eighth studio album for the band. It comes 5 years after ‘American Idiot’, which sold 5.8 million copies for the Bay Area band. Danny’s a huge Green Day fan.
Chewing gum makers Wrigley on Monday suspended a commercial featuring Chris Brown after the popular R&B singer was arrested on suspicion of attacking a woman widely reported to be his singer girlfriend Rihanna. The clean-cut Brown, 19, one of the fastest-rising stars of the last two years, was free on $50,000 bail, a day after the couple hurriedly canceled separate performances at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. If R. Kelly’s career was saved could Chris Brown’s? It’s highly unlikely.
8:38 – Alex Rodriguez told ESPN on Monday that he took performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Texas Rangers during a three-year period beginning in 2001.
The first performance enhancing drug Danny took was testosterone for show bulls out of Mexico. If A-Rod’s body shrinks in the next year then it’s obvious he was using since ’03. Steroids will make you stronger, but won’t help you hit a major league fastball. Some GNC supplements are on the banned list. Danny agrees with Curt Schilling that all the 104 names on the list of positive testing players should be released. Pete Rose didn’t do anything to cheat on the field, but the steroids can help a player crush baseballs and turn doubles into home runs.

Angela Suleman, mother of octuplet mom Nadya Suleman, is disputing several statements made by Nadya Suleman in her NBC interview with Ann Curry. Grandma Angela says that Nadya's boyfriend and the biological father of her 14 children wanted to marry her, but Nadya insisted on having children on her own. Danny thinks she’ll be hot when she drops the baby weight.
9:30 – Duff McKagan from Guns n’ Roses and Velvet Revolver is on the show. Danny’s run into Duff in L.A. a few times. Danny loves Velvet Revolver and wants to see them with a new singer. Scott Weiland was going in a different direction than the rest of the group. Being sober now Duff tries to get through Amsterdam quickly so he’s not tempted. Duff is a new financial columnist for Playboy and he also has a fantasy rock camp. Danny loves the Eagles, but if he could play an instrument he’d go to Duff’s fantasy rock camp. Duff asks about the Canseco fight. Duff is always up for trying something once and although he’s not sure what he’ll be doing at the camp, he’s sure it’ll be fun. That’s screams rock n’ roll. His band Loaded has a new album coming out in April. As time has gone on with the band he’s gotten more comfortable singing.
When Duff makes a record he has to step away and give it time so he doesn’t over think it and hands it over to the public. Responding to the Billboard article where Axl says he’d play with Duff again, but not Slash he’d take heed of it if it was said in the same room, but words in interviews don’t hold the same weight.
Listen to the Duff interview here -
9:56 – Danny’s Final Thought: In the olden days the bad part of the cocaine was called the duff. It was the powder, the stuff they cut it with, it was called duff. ‘Eh, I don’t want to buy this, it’s got a lot of duff in it.’ Now the good part of getting off, anything bad for you and running on with your life could be also called ‘the duff’. That was a good man and I really enjoyed having him on the show. And he wants to know who won my fight. Guns n’ Roses know I’m alive! That’s my real final thought.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/09/09
6:02 – Danny had a weekend full of fun planned, but he and his girlfriend Amy got food poisoning and spent all weekend in the bathroom. He’s feeling better, but he’s had 36 hours of heartburn causing hiccups and couldn’t keep anything down. No hiccup remedy worked, but being on the air has been hiccup free so far. Danny turned Tums into cereal all weekend. He missed a restaurant opening and didn’t get to wear the suit he bought for it.
People at the station think it’s bizarre to see Danny driving a car with keys in the ignition and not running pedestrians over. Danny didn’t get his threesome with the stripper that’s been flirting with his girlfriend. He’s not sure what he ate that didn’t agree with him. In Los Angeles there’s a public display of restaurant cleanliness that’s gaudy, but lets people know if a place is dirty or not. Danny was up for some sexy fun and was surprised that Amy was responsive to his advances in her conditions.
6:35 – Shila had a wild weekend. She’s losing her voice and had an attempt at an intervention with her cousin whose been drinking heavily for 10 years. He’s a huge binge drinker that could dry out for months for a time, but then drink for a month straight. The family has tried to help him numerous times, but his father and mother aren’t much help. Shila has a problem dealing with addicts because she wants to slap them back into reality, but she’s told that’s not the way to deal with it. Her cousin that came down to get help from Shila and her family and wasn’t drinking but bugger Shila’s father into buying him a bottle of whiskey. The family wants to keep their problems private. She’s worried about watching her cousin slowly kill himself.
Speaking from experience Danny says that interventions don’t work and that nothing that anyone from the outside can do to help. Rehab clinics can help people dry out, but they’re voluntary. He can be committed for being a menace to society. Reviewing the facts Danny states that he doesn’t get violent, he doesn’t drive drunk, and he holds a job then maybe it’s not Shila’s business. Unless the family can get him committed there might not be anything they can do.
John watched his dad deal with binge drinking for 15 years. He refused help and died at 41 from liver poisoning. Shila’s cousin has had liver biopsies and they’ve turned out fine so far. Danny hopes that the fun of the drinking runs out. When Danny was at rock bottom he knew it had to stop because he was disgusted with himself and knew he had to change. Antabuse turns the body against alcohol, which could be an option. A psychic told Shila her cousin wasn’t going to get better anytime soon. Danny has no faith in psychics; they’ve only told him things he already knew.

The deadliest wildfires in Australia's history burned people in their homes and cars and wiped out entire towns, officials. The death toll rose to 130 by Monday. Blazes have been burning for weeks in the southeastern state of Victoria but turned deadly Saturday when searing temperatures and wind blasts created a firestorm that swept across a swath of the region. Officials suspect some of the more than 400 fires were deliberately set. Police have sealed off at least two towns — Marysville and Kinglake — where dozens of deaths occurred — setting up roadside checkpoints and controlling access to the area.
The hero pilot, Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who safely landed his plane into the Hudson River after a bird strike disabled, was on CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday. He said that the sound of the geese hitting the plane and the smell of burning poultry entering the cabin was "shocking." Even though all 155 on board survived that fateful day of January 15th, Sullenberger said he lay awake at night second-guessing his performance. He told 60 Minutes that he initially had trouble forgiving himself because he thought he could have done a better job. He says, he no longer regrets that day and believes the decision to land in the river was the only viable option.

7:47 – Lorrainne Ranali is on the show to talk about her book Gravy Wars: South Philly Foods, Feuds & Attytudes. She’s a South Philly Italian and her family gets uppity about who gets compliments for their cooking. She loves her Irish sister in-law, but there’s no way her sauce is the best. Danny’s family consistently fights over their Christmas ravioli. Italians that Lorainne has talked to have moved on from tradition and don’t hold onto recipes like their American cousins. Danny spent some time in Italy and wasn’t impressed by the women, but did notice the men are very handsome. Danny calls it sauce, not gravy. It has many names and the difference between gravy and sauce is that gravy is from tomatoes and there can be many types of sauce like alfredo sauce. There is no brown gravy in an Italian house.
Shila is fascinated by the Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner. There has to be an odd number of fishes, but Lorraine serves five. Mike from South Philly calls in to explain the differences between sauce, gravy, and marinara. Lorraine’s book also has recipes too. Shila’s willing to make some for the show.

So I make no excuses for it - it is inexcusable, and I hope that is absolutely clear."

Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael Lohan, will be the next star of a "celebrity boxing" fight promoted by Damon Feldman. The media-hungry Lohan, who seems to talk to his daughter only through the press, is seeking a challenger to fight on April 3 at the Ramada Philadelphia Airport hotel. Lohan, who spent two years in jail on DUI and assault charges, and a challenger, will wear headgear in three one-minute rounds. Danny’s been offered the fight, but he’s not interested
8:44 – Frank Shamrock is on the show. Frank meets the weight requirements to fight Michael Lohan! It’s taken a while for Danny to get won over by MMA, but its appeal is that it’s less dangerous than boxing. A good MMA fight that goes the distance the fighters take less hits to the head than boxers. Frank agrees and thinks it’s harder on the body, but easier on the brain. Frank is writing his autobiography later this year and ‘MMA for Dummies’ is another project he’s working on. His big brother is Ken Shamrock, another MMA/UFC legend. Frank doesn’t really get along with Ken. He’s not going to take it easy when they fight. Frank has fought friends in the octagon before and becomes closer to the other fighters after a match. Danny also has bonding moments with people he’s competed with. Frank’s production company has just signed a deal with Showtime. Danny would like Frank to work with Strikeforce, but he’s pretty tied into UFC.
Danny was shocked to see guys who didn’t get tapped out and had their arms broken. One guy didn’t have a chance to tap the mat and the other guy was just stupid because it could take the fighter out of commission and force early retirement. Frank wouldn’t let someone break his arm, disrespect his wife, or smack his daughter. Fighting techniques in MMA really intrigue Danny and there’s no way he’ll take Frank on in the octagon.

A suspect in the burglary of a suburban Philadelphia pharmacy has been arrested because he left his keys in the trunk of his car. Police arrested a 43-year-old repeat offender. A neighbor saw the keys left in the trunk for a few days and notified police. When police checked out the situation, they found stolen drugs in the trunk and a gym bag with the suspect's name and address. Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood says police were stumped at first about the theft of about $400,000 worth of drugs. He says the burglar disabled the alarm and surveillance systems.

According to doctors, more and more male athletes are developing unhealthy eating behaviors. Dr. Glazer of the Maine Medical Center says he's seeing more bad eating behavior among men engaged in sports -- even at the recreational level. He thinks endurance athletes like cyclists, triathletes, and cross-country skiers are at greatest risk. Because wrestlers compete in different weight divisions, there has always been an emphasis on dieting and being as light as possible in the sport. This has led to some serious illnesses -- and even deaths. "Many men can turn things around just with a little bit of increased awareness about nutrition and healthy weight," Glazer said. But, men with body dysmorphic disorder, who see themselves as overweight even if they are emaciated, may come up with other reasons for their drop in performance, and resist the idea that they have a problem.
9:39 – Danny takes a call from Rob who likes what Danny brings to the radio. Slipknot was in town over the weekend and Danny had dinner with Corey from the band before he moved back to Philly. Spike was at the show and taped an episode of Rockers and noted that not all of the guys from the band are as easy going as Corey Taylor. Spike walked down the wrong hallway and saw the band going through their preshow ritual and was asked to evacuate immediately. Spike thinks he’s too old for the mosh pit these days. Danny was punching people in the face at a Black Flag show when he thought a fight was breaking out, but it was just a mosh pit. Spike jacked his back up 10 years ago at a show at the Troc.
9:57 – Danny’s Final Thought: “Never judge a book by its cover. A slipknot is two things: a band, and a knot. That knot, if you pull with equal velocity on both ends will become untied. Not unlike members of Slipknot. Corey Taylor, couldn’t be the nicest guy in the world. But the clown, Shawn the Clown, has fetuses in formaldehyde. I’m just guessing if you pull on both ends of that rope, Shawn the Clown becomes undone.”
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/06/09
6:01 – Danny hasn’t gotten any sleep since 4am Thursday. It’s going to be a bumpy ride today.
Danny and his ex-wife are very friendly even though they divorced. She has a television show that everyone thought Danny was going to be on so he scheduled a visit to Los Angeles and the station he works for out that started filling up his schedule with appearances, which is nice because they pay money. However he’d have to pass them up to appear on his ex-wife’s show. Danny was hoping that she would also give him back a large chunk of his coin collection that she took before the divorce which set him off. Gretchen’s television producers call with some ideas including a boxing match with her current boyfriend and they’d pay him the money that he’d miss from skipping the radio station appearances. They’d also throw in the coin collection to the winner of the fight. This pushed Danny over the edge. There are only two scenarios. The first is that Danny beats up the new male role model in the house helping to raise his kids. The second is that Dante and Isabella’s daddy gets beaten by the new guy. It’s a no win situation for the kids. Danny learned the hard way the affect his image can have on his kids after ‘Breaking Bonaduce.’
Danny predicted the next step which would be for Gretchen to talk her boyfriend into calling Danny and challenge him to a fight and hook the crazy man. Danny had 24 hours to prepare for manipulation.
6:16 – Danny plays the call he got on his afternoon show in Los Angeles.
LISTEN TO THE AUDIO HERE -
Kevin, Gretchen’s new boyfriend is on the phone. He tries to bait Danny into accepting the fight. Danny calls him out for trying to fabricate a fight, pretending it’s a spontaneous call to get into a fight. Can Kevin see the good in the boxing match? Danny names all the reasons Kevin doesn’t want to fight him. Kevin admits it’s a written and contrived plot for Gretchen’s show. Danny had written his son telling him to take it easy on Kevin and give him a chance. Surprise! Gretchen is on the line. GONE! Danny then goes on a blistering, heartfelt monologue growling about the issues he has with Gretchen and what she tried to pull.
Danny then plays a voicemail from Kevin who expresses his unhappiness about the situation and hopes to discuss the issues privately. Danny thinks Kevin is a decent guy.
6:29 – Zoli calls in to congratulate Danny for having a calm head and doing the right thing for the kids. Gretchen got a reality show, but it’s extremely boring and has no spice, which is why they tried to get Danny on the program. John calls in with the idea for Kevin to fight Danny, but with no cameras around. Danny doesn’t want to do it; Kevin’s not a fighter anyways. Mike calls in to give Danny a thumbs up. Jason agrees with Danny, but the only problem he has is the suicide comment Danny had for Gretchen. He thinks she has no honor and no credibility. Danny is Dr. Frankenstein and Gretchen is the monster he created. Eric thinks it’s about time that a celebrity on television puts their kids first. Danny used to live in a world where talk shows, awards shows, and self-congratulatory behavior ruled. Fame is an empty curse. Fame doesn’t put food on the table.
6:45 – Tom is proud of Danny. Avoiding Gretchen’s manipulation puts him ahead in the game and makes him the bigger man. Danny is proud of himself, he’s changed over time. He used to be impulsive and give into knee-jerk reactions that resulted in negative press. Brad is going through a similar situation with his ex too. She’s pitter her new boyfriend up against him and it brings out the bad side of Brad. Danny’s experience offered some clarity. Tony thinks that Danny is crying like a baby and needs to man up. Joe calls in to see if Gretchen could be featured on Tru TV’s World’s Dumbest Wives. Michael thinks Danny is great at radio and as a father. Danny is grateful. Danny realizes Amy is a second chance at have respect in the afterlife. Jim remembers Danny from his time at Eagle 106 and he’s come a long way since those days.

"We're gonna be in the Hudson." That was the final communication from pilot Chesley B. Sullenberger III before he crash-landed a US Airways jetliner into freezing waters off of Manhattan on Jan. 15. Transcripts and audio segments released today by the Federal Aviation Administration show controllers trying to divert the US Airways plane back to an open runway at La Guardia Airport, from which it had just departed, or a nearby airport. Sullenberger is heard calmly firing back answers to controller's questions, telling them the plane won't make it.
Michael Phelps was suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, the latest fallout from a photo that showed the Olympic great inhaling from a marijuana pipe. The sport's national governing body also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three-month period, effective Thursday. "This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero," the federation said in a statement.
A dancer from Babes & Beer nightclub at 18454 Oxnard St. in Tarzana was doused in an accelerant by two men and then set afire leaving her in critical condition. What prompted the attack at 1:30 a.m. is still unknown but police are asking for the public's help
A drunken fling ended in disaster for a man who woke up to find his lover's name carved into his arm. Dominique Fisher, 22, used a Stanley knife to write her name on Wayne Robinson's upper arm. She inflicted the injuries on the 24-year-old at her home. Mr. Robinson woke to find his body decorated with a star on his back, 'Dominique' written on his upper right arm, and numerous slash marks on his left arm and shoulder. He told police he had drunk vodka and taken Valium and was not awake during the incident. He said: 'I went to her place for sex, not to be tattoed. I can't believe she did this to me and I hate her. 'When I woke I was covered in blood. Dominique was snoring. I just had to get out of there. I didn't even wake her to ask what she'd done.' 'I'm scarred for life,' he said. 'I wish I'd never met her.'
7:31 – Forgiveness Friday!
Tony is in recovery and he has a heavy heart. His little girl was sick recently and stayed over at his ex’s house to keep an eye on his daughter, which upset his current girlfriend. He’s been faithful to his new girl, but didn’t call after texting that he would earlier in the night. She’s the sinner; she’s bearing false witness against a good man.
Nicole’s husband had an affair and now she’s been nailing every guy she meets. Danny realized he could be a sex addict in rehab. If she is a sex addict there are prescription drugs that can help, but this is a problem that’s only going to get worse.
Steve heard a rumor that his girlfriend was cheating on him with their boss and to get revenge he put a ‘special gift’ in something he baked for her. Now they’re back together. Danny doesn’t see a reason to tell him. Danny has a tough time forgiving Steve because he was sly and informing her of the misdeed is not good for the girl.
7:51 – George Foreman, boxing legend is on the show. One of the biggest nights in Danny’s life was the night Foreman won the title at 45 years-old. He always had a good right. He’d be losing matches and land the big right and take the win. George has a new line of cleaning products that are eco-friendly. When getting divorced the only thing Danny wanted was his George Foreman Grill. How did Foreman fix his bad image? He got into church, worked with his kids on the school work, and knew that he had to set a good example for his kids and after working hard at it then it became natural for George because he wanted to make himself into the person he wanted to be. Evander Holyfield didn’t have the character that Foreman has. Foreman has a special place in his heart for Danny.

The star's mother Jenny, 61, was devastated upon hearing the footage and desperately wished her son could have controlled his anger. She tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "I haven't spoken to Christian about it, but I have listened to most of it and he was clearly very angry. People might not realize that that is his temper, and they might understand a bit more.
Miley Cyrus is finally speaking out on controversial photos that show her using her fingers to make her eyes slant, which is considered degrading to Asian people. "I've also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, I'm sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!" she writes on her official fansite. "In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy?" she adds. "It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would of [sic] been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'!"

"She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day, gonna be singing my song that I've been singing forever."
There's been some leakage at ABC. Denise Richards may cha-cha her way onto the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars. Troubled Jackass Steve-O will also join on. Maybe ABC is looking to make the show, premiering March 9, a little spicier. Other rumored dancers include Jewel, Sarah Palin and Kevin Federline.

8:35 – Savor this moment. Last night Danny took the high road when getting a call from his ex-wife’s boyfriend trying to bait him into a boxing match after being manipulated by Gretchen for her new reality show.
LISTEN TO THE CALL HERE -
Danny will be in Los Angeles over Valentine’s Day weekend for his son’s birthday. So Danny will see Gretchen and Kevin, but they can’t put Danny in their show without his permission.
Matt loved the phone call and the way he handled it. Since Danny did ‘Breaking Bonaduce’ learned about putting his children in harm’s way. Obviously Gretchen has lost sight of reality and it doesn’t matter to her how her life affects her children’s world. If Danny wants to push the issue he can make the producers remove all images and mention of his name. He signed away the rights to his life and a movie studio owns his name and his life story for television and movie purposes. He also has joint custody and Gretchen needs to ask permission to put the kids on television and can derail the reality show.
9:04 – 2’10” Sassy Cassie is in the studio. She prefers to be called a dwarf or a little person. Midget is a derogatory term to her. She’s been stripping since June. She’s been on Jerry Springer numerous times and someone reached out to her and she had a good time dancing and it’s been all fun since. Cassie will be at Al’s Diamond Cabaret this weekend and some of the other dancers are in the studio with her. One of the girls texts Danny’s girlfriend Amy constantly.
Shila thinks Cassie is cute and wants to put her in her pocket and hang out with her all day. Cassie’s boyfriend is tall. Being short isn’t easy, but she gets around and makes it work. She’s able to climb up and work the pole well.
Danny brings his girlfriend Amy in to talk about texting with the stripper she’s been texting with. Apparently there are some texts that Danny is not aware of. Amy prefers not to talk about that on the air. Maybe Danny can get his threesome after all.
9:18 – News with Shila:
Police are searching for a prisoner who went missing while being transported from Florida to Philadelphia. Authorities said 33-year-old Sylvester Mitchell was found missing from a private prison transportation company van when it arrived at the 9th Police District near 21st and Hamilton Streets around 3 a.m. Thursday. Mitchell was last seen by guards and fellow inmates during a stop in Annapolis, Maryland. He was last wearing a bright orange vest, slacks and shackles.

The veil of secrecy octuplets' mother Nadya Suleman shrouded herself in for more than a week was lifted Thursday with the release of public documents showing that the 33-year-old struggled with depression for years until she finally began to realize her childhood dream of having a huge family. Suleman, who now has 14 children, told doctors she battled with depression for years after she was injured in a riot in 1999 at the state mental hospital where she worked. The doctors' reports were included in more than 300 pages of documents released to The Associated Press by the state Division of Workers' Compensation on the same day NBC released excerpts of Suleman's first interview since giving birth last month. Among other things, the documents reveal that Suleman collected more than $165,000 in disability payments between 2002 and 2008 for an injury she said left her in near-constant pain and helped end her marriage.
A 16-year-old German boy, who has wanted to be a girl since age 2, had a secret sex-change operation last month and may be the world's youngest to do so. The operation that transformed Tim Petras into Kim Petras was paid for by Germany's government-supported health care system. The surgery was authorized after psychologists confirmed that Kim Petras was "without doubt a girl in a boy's body." He had been undergoing hormone therapy since age 12.
9:40 – Geoff Snider of the Philadelphia Wings is on the show. Geoff was in Los Angeles when Danny thought it was a good idea to try and stop lacrosse balls. It hurt. Danny was watching TruTv and saw a great clip of Geoff in a bare knuckle fight on the field. It’s just part of the sport for Geoff, but he digs the adrenaline.
Danny is amazed that Geoff knocked the guy out and it took him three punches to fall down. Geoff knows that other teams can be intimidated by his fists, but he puts the team first.
Sean, a season ticket holder, calls in to ask Geoff to give him a wave after a knockout punch or a goal. Sure, no problem. The publicity is nice and puts Philly and the team on the spotlight. John went to one game last year and Geoff turned him into a season ticket holder. Sweet.
9:56 – Danny’s Final Thought: A lot of people misunderstand me and think I think I’m a real hard guy. Today we had the honor of talking to George Foreman, who became heavyweight champion of the world for the third time at age 45. That’s a real hard guy. Then we had Geoff Snider of the Philadelphia Wings, taking on guys bare knuckled twice his size. That’s a real hard guy. And then I thought ‘Wait a minute, during all of Club Bone-A-Duce I was in fact a real hard guy.’
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/05/09
6:02 – Danny’s belly is a bit swollen today, his chest is congested too. It’s not easy to keep up with Danny’s hours. Being on the radio is a fun job that comes easy to Danny. The only hard part for Danny is to keep track of all the ideas that run through his head throughout the day. Danny had a nice night at Paradigm on Chestnut Street last night. He was a bit perplexed with the unisex bathrooms that had clear glass doors. Danny was looking for a special switch or lever that would provide some privacy. Then he asked an employee how to use the bathroom. It’s a question everybody asks. He told Danny that he had to lock the door to perform the magic trick that would allow Danny to use the bathroom in solace. Thinking he locked it and it was a one-way mirror Danny flipped the guy off, who showed Danny his middle finger too. After getting a tutorial again, Danny got it right.
Danny then took his girlfriend Amy back to show her how to use them and there was a pair of women trying to get the bathroom to work. Danny offered to show one woman how to get it to work. Danny really liked the food there, but is it a good idea to have bathrooms that are so difficult to work that employees have to give lessons to everyone that tries to use them? Shila thinks it’s not bad business because it’s different and creates conversation.
6:35 – Shila’s showing off the girls today and Danny’s thrown off. Usually she’s dressed in baggy outfits that make her look anorexic. She does eat, but today she has a scowl on her face. She got a parking ticket over the weekend. She was in a loading zone on Sunday and didn’t notice the $76 ticket on her windshield until she got in her car again. She called the police station from where the officer is from and gave them a piece of her mind. Her court date is in April and already has her mind made up that she’s not paying. Shila would stand a chance if the officer doesn’t show up in court, but if Shila does refuse to pay when the judge orders a payment she’ll be held in contempt. Danny’s willing to stand up and cheer Shila on in jail.
Ryan calls in to say that Shila is better off paying; he got a ticket this morning for parking the wrong way on a one way street. Danny doesn’t see why the guy is whining, he broke the law. Even if it was just for five minutes. Danny now questions if Shila is in the right for supporting the guy who broke the law, for five minutes.
6:52 – Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready is lobbying Washington state legislators to provide emergency access to private business washrooms for people who suffer from Crohn's disease and related disorders. McCready has Crohn's, an autoimmune disease which inflames the bowels and can cause sudden diarrhea and extreme stomach pains. "Imagine the worst diarrhea you've ever had and then times it by 10, with a knife in it," McCready said in front of a judiciary committee last Thursday. "You have maybe half-a-second to find out where a bathroom is." He should avoid using the difficult to master bathrooms at Paradigm.

Gov. Ed Rendell kicked off a tough political debate Wednesday with a proposed state budget that spreads some pain across Northeastern Pennsylvania, while increasing spending on key health care and education programs. Faced with an economy in deep recession and a $2.3 billion tax revenue shortfall, Rendell seeks to eliminate long-standing budget items, preserve spending for favorite initiatives like early childhood education, and embrace proposals that have languished at the Capitol for decades, such as school district consolidation.

7:32 – Who Would Win in a Fight?
Batmans! Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale in a battle royal.
Danny has a tough time picking anyone other than Christian Bale because he’s a dick, and the effort he puts forth for the roles he takes. He’s the kind of guy that knocks you out and then carves his initials in your forehead in a street fight. Shila takes Michael Keaton because he had to fight Jack Nicholson’s Joker and Kilmer and Clooney had weak villains. Metro takes Adam West. He faced all the villains that any other Batman beat and he always kicked ass in the big fight scenes.
Mike calls in to take Michael Keaton with Bale in second place. Keaton’s Batman had bigger henchmen to beat to get to the Joker. Tim takes Val Kilmer because he out weights all the other Batmans put together and Christian Bale would be out of breath from all the screaming. Case goes with Keaton. Bill takes Adam West because no one could lay a finger on him and he kicked King Tut’s ass.
7:51 – Greg goes with Val Kilmer because he’s cool and would let everyone else fight and come in to win at the end. John sticks with Christian Bale because he faced a more psychotic Joker. Bambi picks Val Kilmer because he also beat Two Face. Al was going to go with Adam West, but chose Christian Bale because he’s a bully. Kyle agrees with Danny and takes Christian Bale over Michael Keaton because of Multiplicity. Brad takes Christian Bale because he took on the League of Shadows and won. Jeff picks George Clooney because of his workouts with Robin. Tom takes Michael Keaton because he’s a killer. He didn’t let anyone stand in his way and took no prisoners. Christian Bale is the overwhelming winner.

Robert Plant has said that he is not behind a Led Zeppelin reunion as the band is "incomplete". The band reformed for a sold-out one-off gig at London's O2 arena in 2007, which has led to much speculation that the band will embark on a full tour. However, Plant feels the band can never be the same without legendary drummer John Bonham, who passed away in 1980. The singer said revisiting past glories is an "incredibly delicate" thing to do.
Duff McKagan is going to expand his burgeoning journalistic career by becoming a financial columnist for Playboy magazine. The former Guns N' Roses rocker already writes a weekly report for SeattleWeekly.com and now he is adding the mens' publication to his resume. He writes in his SeattleWeekly.com column, "If someone were to tell me five months ago that I'd be busy thinking up things to write about on a weekly basis, I would have actually been happy to hear it. As of this week, I will not only be continuing my Seattle Weekly commitment, but also starting a new endeavor as a financial columnist at Playboy.com.

McKagan admits that his role as a financial spokesperson for the music industry came about by accident - when a journalist asked him for his views on money matters.

The original Karate Kid has lashed out at plans for a big budget remake of the hit franchise urging Hollywood producers to leave classic films alone. Macchio is adamant that the new film won't be a hit with the public, because too many movies are ruined by remakes. He tells MTV.com, "It feels pretty good that some people are pretty angry that they're trying to remake The Karate Kid. It feels good that the public feels you don't touch certain things. Sometimes you go back to that, and probably shouldn't. "From my personal view, the filling the void of what Mr. Miyagi was, and the magic of that character, is going to be the toughest task. I (also) don't know where the romantic story-arc goes (with Smith's Daniel) at that age."
8:33 – Last Comic Standing champion John Heffron is in the studio. He’s playing Helium this weekend. Get tickets here.
John and Danny used to work together on a radio show in Michigan. He thinks that the Karate Kid remake is passé because MMA has set the new standard. He also used to spar with Danny when worked together. In the ring Danny landed a good shot on John and it took John 20 minutes for the knock out to catch up to him. He got home and didn’t remember buying a VCR. Danny hit him so hard he went backward in technology. After 5 or 6 years of working out and training he thought about fighting Danny again, but Joe Rogan suggested against that.
Since winning Last Comic Standing his life get really hectic. He got married two days after winning and didn’t get to enjoy the fruits of fame. John went from super-single guy with a roommate who worked for Hugh Hefner to married with a 14 year-old stepdad.
8:50 – John’s not hitting on Shila, but he lays on the compliments. He remembers meeting her at a station in another city. She dressed up for him today.
John’s anniversary dinner tuned into a yearly performance review. The time to kill between stage time leaves a lot of room for error, so John likes to buy stuff on the internet. Recently John’s bought Kevlar gloves, a Kevlar sweatshirt, and a DVD that will teach him how to fight in water.
John takes pride in being a man. Recently he got into a game of chicken with a guy who insisted in switching over to the side of the sidewalk John was walking on. John was going to stand up to the guy, who was wearing Crocs, but John’s wife cut him off and emasculated him on the sidewalk. John’s also in a weird phase when it comes to porn. At 38 if he watches porn with younger girls he’s a dirty old man, but if he watches porn with women his age he’s got a mature woman fetish.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed. In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects. And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

She now has the world’s biggest boob job, according to Britain’s Daily Star. Last year we wrote that Sheyla had her 8th breast implant procedure, making her breasts a 34FFF.

9:54 – Danny’s Final Thought: If you think you have the world’s worst bitch, I want you think of this guy: Dr. Richard Batista. He gave his beautiful wife his kidney and she immediately got up from the operating table and started having sex with the physical therapist. That’s going to leave a scar. Two actually. Somewhere there’s some bitch worse than your girlfriend.
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/04/09
6:01 – Danny cut it close today. He had a super exciting scooter ride to work today. Danny was able to ski to work on his girlfriend’s scooter on the snowy, icy roads. He was sideways going down Market St. all the way here. Crashing was not something he thought about, but catching his foot and doing the full splits against his will was no appealing. Metro on the other hand got a bloody nose and fell in the snow, which left him looking like Luke Skywalker at the beginning of ‘The Empire Strikes Back.’

Never book the gift house of the mass = Never look a gift horse in the mouth
6:51 – Danny’s Horrible Hollywood Moment
Ralphie in Media, PA wants Danny to expand on his run in with David Lee Roth. Danny’s had numerous issues with DLR over the years. Van Halen was the house band that Danny owned a piece of called The Starwood and then a few years later VH was big and Danny wasn’t doing so well. They were both at The Rainbow and a hot blond dwarf was hanging out in DLR’s entourage and he’s being rude to her by doing things like setting his beer on her head. Danny was wasted and was fed up with DLR so he stormed across the room and took a swing at the DLR in the middle and went down before he made contact and split his head open. Realizing that it was a bad idea he went to leave and invited the dwarf with him and she said yes. Once in his Firebird he drove her 40 miles away and as the ride went along Danny was more fascinated with the girl and walked her to her door. While walking through a park she took off her pants and leaned over a swing that was part of a swing set. The neighborhood wasn’t so great and there were people in the park and Danny starts to sober up and starts to notice all the things wrong with the girl. She had no knuckles, just solid fingers. Her elbows appeared to bend the wrong way. He starts to freak out a little bit and then makes an insane and annoying sound when she was reaching her peak and Danny split. To this day Danny doesn’t know if DLR knows he took a swing at him.
7:09 – News with Shila:
President Barack Obama is taking responsibility for mistakes in the handling of the tax controversy that led to Tom Daschle's withdrawal as President Barack Obama's nominee to be health and human services secretary, saying: "I screwed up." The president did a series of back-to-back television interviews in which the subject of failed nominees was a top subject.
The cost of President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan is now above $900 billion after the Senate added money for medical research and tax breaks for car purchases. It could go higher Wednesday if a tax break for homebuyers is made more generous, even as centrists in both parties promise to clear away spending items that won't jump-start the economy right away.
Investigators are hoping that an increased reward and a new tip line will help them bring an end to Coatesville's scourge of arsons. The Chester County Arson Task Force, a consortium of federal, state, county and local law-enforcement, announced a reward of up to $20,000 yesterday for information leading to the conviction of the serial arsonist or arsonists, said Special Agent John Hageman, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Five second grade boys from a school in South Philadelphia were taken to the hospital Tuesday after a teacher found them to be in possession of heroin in gym class. Authorities say a physical education teacher at McDaniel Elementary School at 1901 S. 23 Street noticed the children in his class handling small packets containing an unknown substance. The teacher confiscated the packets and police were notified.
Michael Phelps could face criminal charges in South Carolina as a result of the bong picture. Richland County, S.C. sheriff Leon Lott said in a statement Tuesday his department is investigating the incident, and he ``would not turn a blind eye because someone is a celebrity.'' The Feb. 2 edition of the British tabloid News of the World had a picture of Phelps sucking on a glass pipe generally used to inhale cannabis, an illegal drug, at a party that reportedly took place Nov. 6 in Columbia, S.C.
A cable television provider apologized Monday to Tucson-area customers over a 30-second porn interruption during the Super Bowl. Philadelphia-based Comcast said it was conducting a thorough investigation "and will aggressively pursue all leads until we come to resolution." In separate statements, the company said it was "mortified" and "appalled" by the interruption. "Our initial investigation suggests this was an isolated malicious act," Jennifer Khoury, Comcast's vice president for corporate communications, said.
7:20 – Danny thinks that by the time a kid is in Junior High they should know what drugs look like so they can be avoided. Danny didn’t do drugs when he was younger, but knew what to avoid and now being a father wonders what his kids would do if another student brought heroin to school. Shila and Metro were clueless about drugs until the later years of High School. Are today’s kids sheltered or are there not enough parents talking to them enough?
Holly agrees with Shila and Metro and wouldn’t have given a second thought to a baggie with powder on the street when she was in grade school. Andy says he would have known what it was. Tim says that today’s drugs come in designer baggies that look like candy, being attractive to kids. Jim found a baggie of coke when he was a teenager skating around Camden and an adult told him what it was. More texts can calls come in taking both sides.
7:36 – Danny is still amazed that Christian Bale has the balls to flip out on the Director of Photography on the new Terminator movie. Another great meltdown is Bill O’Reilly on Inside Edition. Danny feels for O’Reilly on that one. He was ready to go and the guy running the prompter was keeping him from doing his job. The Tom Cruise couch jumping on Oprah is a favorite of Metro’s. Danny doesn’t see the big deal about that, the Tom Cruise/Matt Lauer interview that got extremely tense was a bigger deal.
7:48 – Matt calls in to bring up the legendary Casey Kasem meltdown. Metro has some of the audio, but Danny can recite it from memory. Danny finds it an appropriate meltdown.
Tom brings up Britney Spears. How many has she had? The first thing Danny thought of when she shaved her head was that it was to avoid dug tests that could prove she was using while pregnant.
Steve’s choice is Mel Gibson. He was calm when he was talking to the cops, but it was the subject matter of the conversation that was more shocking.
Andre’s favorite is the Alec Baldwin voicemail for his daughter. As a father Danny would have no problem talking to his daughter if she was blowing him off like Baldwin’s daughter was. Shila thinks it’s no big deal; Metro would be scared after getting a voicemail like that.
When his daughter was giving his wife a hard time Danny went to have a talk with his daughter. After calling her mother a whore Danny went to speak with his little girl about it and she promised to call protective services if either of them laid a finger on her. To get her attention Danny smashed her computer and television with a baseball bat. She could call protective services or Dell and Panasonic. He got through to her.
Other great meltdowns include Michael Richards on stage at a comedy club, David Hasselhoff eating a cheeseburger when drunk. No matter the length of any of those other meltdowns, Danny is the gold medal winner for his post-millennium career.
8:06 – Entertainment News:
Bruce Franklin told US entertainment channel E! News that the four-letter tirade was the result of Bale being distracted during an emotional scene. His rant on set in New Mexico came last July, just days before his arrest by British police investigating claims that he lashed out at his mother and sister in a London hotel.
Kendra Wilkinson is getting her own reality show, E! announced Tuesday. Working title Kendra -- which has been picked up for eight episodes -- will follow the 23-year-old as she moves out of the Playboy mansion, where she had 24/7 room service and a social secretary, and lives on her own for the first time.

8:36 – Sassy Cassie is coming in to Club Bone-A-Duce this Friday. Want to get a dance from all 2 feet and 10 inches of her? Send an e-mail here.
8:38 – Shila was surprised that Jeff the Program Director has a shrine to the New York Mets in his office. She thinks that stuff belongs at home, not at the office. Men’s Health put out a list of 18 Things No Grown Man Should Have.
1. A black eye.
2. A witty e-mail signature. Thor, God of Thunder not witty. 3. An empty refrigerator.
4. Playstation thumb. The only thing Danny does with his Playstation is watch porn.
Chris calls in to bring up some guys he works with that collect anime action figures. That’s weird. There’s a difference between not opening action figures as a collectible, but opening them up to display crosses the line. Susan calls about boxers that his mother bought him with cartoon characters on them that should’ve have been thrown out years ago. Obviously her man is wearing underwear his mom bought him years ago. Wendy thinks that self-help books should be on the list. Danny sees the logic in that, but recovering from a broken heart and reading one past the third paragraph is wasting time. Sean, a woman, doesn’t think that a grown man should refer to his parents as ‘mommy and daddy.’ Ed has a list of things that every man SHOULD know. There’s so many things that Danny thinks should be done and half of them are lethal.
5. A key chain with a bottle opener. Danny’s lit into his girlfriend Amy because she had a bottle opener on her keychain.
6. A lucky shirt.
7. An unstamped passport.
8. Olympic dreams.
9. Less than $20 in his wallet.
10. A name for his penis. Danny named his Hermione Gingold after an old English actress. It even has special speaking voice. Metro named his ‘Jean Claude-Van Penis’
11. Any beer that costs less than $20 a case.
12. The need to quote The Big Lebowski/ Caddyshack/Superbad.
13. A futon.
14. Code words for ugly women.
15. A Nerf hoop in his living room.
16. A secret handshake.
17. Drinking glasses with logos.
18. A recent story with the phrase "So I said to the cop..." Danny’s busted there. Two weeks ago he came to work with a story about a police officer, a sidewalk and a scooter.
8:54 – Mark calls in to say that he doesn’t think that a wallet chain is something men should grow out of. As a bike rider Danny has one for practical reasons. If he didn’t have one his wallet would be somewhere on the road behind him.
9:10 – News with Shila:
Two Philadelphia Police officers were hospitalized following a car crash Tuesday afternoon. The accident happened at about 3:00 p.m. near the intersection of Belfield Avenue and E. Upsal Street in the city's Germantown section. According to police, the officer's cruiser was cut off by another vehicle that was attempting to pass them. The officer driving the cruiser lost control and struck the median of an overpass.
MySpace provided two state attorneys general the names of 90,000 registered sex offenders it had banned from its site in response to a subpoena. The figure is 40,000 more than the amount previously acknowledged by MySpace, according to Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, who along with Attorney General Roy Cooper of North Carolina are among officials pressing social networking sites to adopt more stringent safety measures. Danny is mystified that there are Danny Bonaduce imposters on the internet and there’s a Danny Bonaduce fan site.
As Sgt. Michael Franks pulled up to a shack resting among the ice-coated limbs of a forest in northeast Arkansas, he said he couldn't believe that anyone was living on the property located miles from any major road — let alone a 92-year-old woman waiting for something to eat. But there was Jewel Kitrel, sitting on a tattered couch, warming herself by a wood-burning stove.
A Cambridge University student bested competitors in the 24th running of Britain's Tough Guy challenge through hot coals, icy ponds and a manure-filled pit. The charity event, billed as the world's toughest endurance battle, drew male and female competitors from 25 countries who dressed in wet suits, dresses, fatigues and, in the case of one man, just a thong. Hundreds failed to finish the Army-style assault course through barbed wire tunnels, burning tires and other perilous obstacles, including the manure-filled pit. Contestants are advised beforehand to undergo "cold-water training" to guard against hypothermia.
There's a website . . . called PMSBuddy.com . . . where you can sign up for a monthly reminder that it's about to be your lady's "time of the month" so you'll never be taken by surprise again. Danny thinks it’s a ridiculous website because if your wife or girlfriend has PMS you know when it’s happening and when to avoid her.
9:40 – Danny runs through some more of the Top 10 Celebrity Meltdowns playing audio of Lilly Tomlin’s freak out on the set of ‘I Heart Huckabees.’ The Sue Simmons F-Bomb was fantastic. She’s a news anchor at the NBC station in New York City who lost it when her co-host was paying attention to something else during a live promo. Danny was glad to get in Screech’s face on Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling after Screech’s fight on Celebrity Fit Club. Who has the best all-time celebrity meltdown? Mr. Bonaduce with a 9 year freak out.
9:59 – Danny’s Final Thought: "You’re never too old to name your wiener. As a matter of fact mine’s going for a legal name change. Depending on how Club Bone-A-Duce works out on Friday, at 2’ 10” I’m changing it to Sassy Cassie"
Danny Bonaduce Show 02/03/09
6:03 – In order to get up Danny used to have a series of alarm clocks around the house when he was living with his ex in California. These days he’s got Amy to help him get where he’s got to be when he’s got to be there. Danny’s uvula is sore today, even though it’s not clear why humans have a uvula. Danny was kicked in the groin years ago and he had a renegade jovie that was growing so big it was ripping flesh, even though it didn’t hurt anymore. He was given a prosthetic testicle to bond with and name, but the surgeon was able to fix the problem without having to replace the nut.
6:09 – Danny was in a bad mood yesterday because of something someone said to him yesterday and was at a gas station with his girlfriend Amy. First up a black dude pulled up and yelled ‘You are the truth!’ and followed that up with ‘If I was in a bar fight I’d want you to have my back.’ Huge compliment. Later that night during a night of sex over the weekend when going for round three Danny was having trouble getting back in the ring. Danny made up for it 7 times yesterday and after ‘jiggling’ Danny was ready for the eighth and Amy begged for mercy. Danny is surprised by Shila’s lack of sexual interest. Pregnancy and STD’s keep her from doing the nasty.
6:29 – Danny thinks that actor Christian Bale is an intense performer on the verge of being insane. He lost his cool on the set of Terminator Salvation. Listen to the unedited audio here.
After hearing the audio Danny is embarrassed for Christian Bale. Belittling anyone on the set is uncalled for and bullying is unprofessional. Danny’s seen a few meltdowns on the set before. David Cassidy had a few on the set of The Partridge Family. He was on a movie ‘Murder on Flight 502’ with a lot of big names crammed in a small airplane fuselage for the film. This was Danny’s first exposure to star treatment. Polly Bergen, who was a big deal at the time, started screaming about something when Sonny Bono tried to calm her down and she verbally assaulted him, Farrah Fawcett ran off crying and noticed that her nipples were at attention. Robert Stack grabbed Farrah and brought her back to Bergen so that she could apologize to her. She smacks Robert Stack so hard his hearing aides are squealing, Sonny Bono wants to hit Bergen, and Farrah Fawcett is still crying. Bitchingest day in Danny’s life.
6:52 – Another of Danny’s favorite meltdowns is the famous Bill O’Reilly tirade when he went off on his staff for not being ready when he was. Danny had a daytime talk show in 1994 and had a few flip out moments. When some guests were late and held the show up and put his producers on the spot and wanted them to tell some of their great stories from working on other shows. The executive producers played it safe and waited for the guests to finally show up. They weren’t willing to take a shot on an unscripted show. Danny was able to do everything on the talk show from memory, but had a tough time with names so he’d have the names of the guests taped to the floor by their feet.
7:12 – News with Shila:
A Montgomery County doctor is facing charges following an undercover investigation in which he allegedly offered to trade prescription medications for sex. District Attorney Risa Ferman said Dr. Samuel Krakow was arrested on January 30 after offering an undercover officer a narcotics prescription in exchange for sex. Authorities said Dr. Krakow, a licensed and registered medical doctor, had numerous sexually explicit conversations with the undercover officer, at point texting the officer a picture of his genitals. Danny doesn’t think that watching other people have sex is bizarre.
The mother of the world's longest-living octuplets is being deluged with offers for book deals, TV shows and other business proposals, but has made no decision on what she might do other than care for her children, her newly hired spokeswoman said Monday. Hundreds of requests have poured in from all over the world since Nadya Suleman gave birth to six boys and two girls a week ago.
Weather prognosticating groundhog Punxsutawney Phil makes his annual prediction on Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, on the 123rd Groundhog Day, February 2, 2009. Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter
As Lori Kappes and Nicholas Landry arrived at the rural Hebron home where the Wheatfield couple's reception was to be held on Jan. 23, an uninvited guest -- the bride's sister -- approached. She admitted she intended to "confront her sister and parents," according to the police report, but added she just wanted to talk about ongoing family problems. When she came near the door, Bricker said, "an old lady jumped on my back" and she was jumped by two younger men. Bricker, 23, of Valparaiso, said she never touched her sister and the attack was unprovoked.
7:19 – Brian suggests taking Amy to Amsterdam to the Pink Elephant. Danny saw a live sex show in Amsterdam years ago. Huge disappointment. Shila was shocked to learn that a friend of hers had sex with another man while the boyfriend watched.
7:33- Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach
Brian from Allentown has a hot girlfriend and she’s been getting texts from her boss telling her that she looks hot, reminds him of his stripper ex-girlfriend, and then if she could score him drugs. Brian wants to tear the dude up and rip his face off. Wrong reaction. Get a digital voice recorder and get evidence of his inappropriate actions and take the guy to work. Forget punching the manager in the face, just don’t bait too hard so that the witnesses agree that she didn’t do anything out of line.
Damien works a job in the HVAC industry and his boss is thinking about cutting everyone’s salary by 10%. That’s a line of work that will always be in demand. First make sure that this is a real threat and not a line to keep everyone on their toes. When looking for a gig make sure that the people you interview with aren’t enemies and rubs it in the face of the current employer.
7:45 – Johnny has issues with his wife. He’s 41 and on his third marriage. She emasculates him publically on a regular basis. His second wife died. She treats him like her employee. Danny role plays with him to get him to stand for himself. Bullies are never tough, they just bluff and intimidate. Either it’ll be the last time she treats him like that or she’ll file for divorce and a bad marriage will end.
Mike’s girlfriend of 12 years has been giving another guy a ride to school. She’s been getting texts messages from the new guy and deletes all the messages. Danny’s certain she’s cheating on him. There is a chance that she hasn’t actually fulfilled the fantasy of the new man who pays attention to her, so there is time to stop the behavior. Danny’s taken passwords off his phone so that he can’t hide or be accused of hiding anything from anyone close to him. Changes in behavior are the first signs of trouble.
Garreth loves the radio show and wants to hear more Partridge Family stories. Danny has them, and sometimes it’s tough not to tell them. He doesn’t want to be a one trick pony and has more to offer to the audience.
Matt is 25 year-old tattoo artist who’s about to ship out overseas as a crew member on a Blackhawk and he’s worried that his wife will stray while he’s away. No matter what she says she’ll try hard, but she’ll get used to him being away and deaden the idea of adultery as just something to do while he’s away. Danny thinks he should discuss the fear with his wife and come to a common ground. If it’s discussed and he still thinks that it’s going to happen there are rules such as going to a town in another state, with a man she doesn’t know, and plays it real safe and never tells or gives up the details. The girl is bisexual, so she has half a green light already, what a surprise.
94WYSP is looking for our next Rock God! As Rock God you'll share in everything 94WYSP has to offer for the rest of the year! Every concert ticket, movie pass, CD and DVD we get... you'll get! You'll even get to write and submit music and concert reviews for 94WYSP.com!

Jennifer Hudson lip-synched the national anthem before Sunday night's Super Bowl. The reason? "This was such an important performance, because it's the first time everyone has seen Jennifer," the show's producer, Ricky Minor, said of Hudson, who marked her first public performance on Sunday since her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were fatally shot in October. "But she's in such a great place, with such great spirits, and time can heal her wounds. She's on fire right now and totally grounded."
Eddie Van Halen has given Van Halen fans cause to celebrate after revealing he's planning to regroup with his son, brother and front man David Lee Roth to record new material. After his upcoming wedding to fiancée Janie Liszweski in June and the high school graduation of his bass player son, Wolfgang, he hopes to record an all-new band album with frontman David Lee Roth in the fold. "Dave, Wolfie, [brother/drummer] Alex and I are a band," he says. "I hope that…we sit down and discuss recording new music, which I have tons of. If Dave's up for singing…then do another tour, and just see where it takes us. Maybe we'll give Dave a call and see what he's up to."
Bruce Springsteen, fresh off his Super Bowl halftime performance, has been announced as a headliner at this year's Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival, along with the recently reunited Phish. It is scheduled to be the only performance by Springsteen and his E Street Band at a festival in North America this year. Other performers scheduled to perform from June 11-14 include Snoop Dogg, the Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, Elvis Costello, TV on the Radio, Al Green, Merle Haggard, David Byrne, Erykah Badu, Animal Collective, the Decemberists and Lucinda Williams.
Back in July, Christian Bale reportedly threw a hissy fit on the set of Termintor: Salvation after the director of photography walked into the middle of a scene while they were filming. Bale went ballistic and even threatened to quit the film if the offender wasn't immediately fired from the pic. The incident, which was apparently sent to the company insuring the film just in case Bale did indeed quit.
8:37 – Last night Amy threw Danny a bit of a curveball. Danny has been asking Amy if he can have a special night with Penthouse Pet of the Year Taya Parker. She gave him the green light if she can have Mickey Rourke. One of Danny’s heroes. She picked a guy who is going to make him jealous. Amy wasn’t impressed with young Mickey Rourke, but she turned him on in ‘The Wrestler.’ Shila thinks that Mickey reminds her of Danny, but it’s obvious that she picked him because Danny likes him. Danny would have to deliver Mickey Rourke before the 11th so that Danny can have Taya on the 12th. He’s already started to visualize the scene in his head. Hair whipping around, broken furniture all over the place. For Danny it’s a one night stand, for Amy it’s a life experience. Danny can get to Mickey, but getting him to follow through wouldn’t be an easy sell.
8:48 – Danny would want to get a graphic description the next time he was with Amy, but then regret it once the heat of the moment had passed.
Debbie calls in to say that she never thought twice about Mickey Rourke before Danny got her tuned on. Jenn brings up that Mickey might not be interested, and Danny could play the role of the bigger man by turning Taya down. Danny won’t back down, though it might be a life changing decision. Danny sees this as an attack on his honor.
8:52 – Eric calls in to say that Danny could have his cake and eat it too if Danny goes with Taya and then Amy backs out of the deal with Mickey. Danny can’t have that because then Amy has one up on him. If anyone backs down it’ll be Danny.
9:05 – Sassy Cassie, a midget exotic dancer will be coming to Club Bone-A-Duce this Friday. Want to get a lap dance from Sassy Cassie? Send an e-mail here.
9:08 – News with Shila:
A Superbowl party in Northeast Philadelphia turned tragic when an off-duty police officer left a loaded gun on a table that was picked up by a friend who accidentally fatally shot his host. Christopher Donaghy - the son of a Philadelphia police officer - died Sunday night after he was struck once in the back.
Philadelphia Police are searching for a suspect captured on tape by surveillance cameras during a frightening ATM robbery last month. Surveillance footage shows the suspect attacking a 23-year-old woman before forcing her to withdraw cash from an ATM near 6th and Spring Garden Streets. Police said the victim had just made a deposit when she was approached by the suspect, who struck her in the arm with a baton. The victim told police the suspect threatened to slash her if she did not cooperate.
A trio of suspects are in custody after a robbing a Cheltenham Township store of nearly $200,00 worth of furs last month. The three apparently surveyed the store during the day and returned that night, using large paving stones to break through the front window of the store.
Bon Jovi and 12 others - including NBA star Shaquille O'Neal and civil rights activist Paul Robeson - were named to the New Jersey Hall of Fame on Monday. The honor is meant to highlight positive contributions made to a state often stereotyped as a land of corrupt politicians, belching refineries and gangsters.
9:39 – Dictation Translation!
Danny has a tough time saying ‘Arnold Palmer.’ Neither can Shila. Metro can’t say ‘gift certificate.’ Danny's girfriend Amy reads famous quotes and phrases into Danny's dictation translation program on his computer and the audience gets to take a stabg at correcting the program for Philadelphia Auto Show tickets.
Bar at a solo sit = Brevity is the soul of wit
That’s a quote from Chaucer.
9:59 – Danny’s Final Thought: When you’re playing a game and the answer is ‘Brevity is the soul of wit.‘ Don’t take an hour to get a winner, you just look stupid!
Danny Bonaduce Show 2/02/09
6:01 – Danny has finally got in the habit of checking the weather before coming to work in the morning. He also wrote lots of longwinded e-mails last night and signed them ‘Thor, God of Thunder’. He makes glorious speeches while his computer dictates his loquacious monologues and gets one letter replies in return.
Shila was happy that Pennsylvania team won the Super Bowl last night. Danny would love it if something as big as the Super Bowl happened every day, then he could go out and get things done without crowds and traffic. Danny also enjoyed Bruce’s halftime set, but didn’t think much of the referee skit. Jerry calls in brings up the Bruce power slide, groin into camera. Shila had a good time, she had a few drinks and suddenly. Metro asked Shila if she wanted to go ‘skiing’ and Danny thought he was offering her drugs, not a handful of man. Once Danny got the gist of the conversation, he was down for some downhill. Shila used to have a stronger tolerance in her younger, party-filled days. If Shila was willing to put out Danny was sending Metro in first with a machete to take care of the cob webs first. Going second would be no issue.
6:36 – Obama’s mother in-law is living in the White House with him. How annoying must that be? Obama picked the Steelers to win in a close game. Bingo!
6:50 – Danny’s excited that the next girl to come to Club Bonaduce is a little person. Shila sticks her foot in her mouth saying that she doesn’t want to offend, but they’re freaks of nature. Danny could take all the little people in the world in a fair fight. Danny’s certain that his girlfriend Amy has bisexual tendencies and lately she’s been texting a stripper that will be coming in with Sassy Cassie. The only thing that’s ruining Danny’s theory is that she hasn’t had sex with a girl yet and she spends more time texting about shopping with the stripper than talking dirty.
7:02 – News with Shila:
Expect it to be windy and cold with rain changing to snow on Monday night and continuing into Tuesday, accumulating 3-6 inches, with 6-12 inches in the some of the northern most suburbs. A bit of rain will arrive by late on today in Philadelphia before some mixing and a changeover to snow overnight.
Four more deliberately set fires were reported Saturday in Coatesville, an area plagued by arsons, but authorities are not yet willing to say they are connected to the previous blazes. Authorities say all of the fires have been ruled arsons, and all were near Coatesville, which has been hit with more than 30 suspicious fires over the past year. Seventeen of those blazes have occurred since Jan. 1, nearly all started on porches. Two of Saturday's blazes were set on porches of homes on the same street in Valley Township shortly after 12:30 a.m. The third was started at a home in nearby Sadsbury Township at 3 a.m., and a fourth on the porch of a home in Modena was reported to investigators around 7 a.m. Authorities don’t know if the arsons are connected to Coatsville area fires.
Phillips Mushroom Farm of Kennett Square, Pa is recalling packages of enoki mushrooms because they may be contaminated with bacteria that can cause a potentially fatal illness. The enoki mushrooms have been distributed in the United States and Canada through retail and food service channels. They were packaged under various brand names and sold between Jan. 13 and 30. The company says the mushrooms were packed in clear plastic bags with blue, green or red graphics panels, plastic tills wrapped with one pound bags for food service. Phillips officials say the mushrooms may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease that is most dangerous to people with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and people with HIV.
State health officials say the number of reported cases of salmonella related to tainted peanut products has risen to 23 in New Jersey. No deaths have been reported in the state, but nationwide, at least eight people may have died because of it and at least 529 have been sickened. More than 430 products have been recalled. In New Jersey, Atlantic County remains the hardest hit, with five cases. Federal health officials have asked the Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation into Virginia-based Peanut Corp. of America. The outbreak is believed to have started in its Georgia plant
On Jan. 3 the Wolfe family of Massachusetts was staying at the Homewood Suites in Mount Laurel, Burlington County in Florida. As they were leaving the couple's 22-month-old son was hanging out on the sofa watching TV and playing with a used condom they say was found by the toddler. Then, the toddler choked on the used condom that had been left in their room before they checked in and by the time the mom tried to retrieve it, the boy already had "ingested the contents." The baby had to go through a lot of testing for HIV, STD’s etc, and continues to, because of this disgusting, horrific incident that essentially violated the whole family, but mostly the young boy," said the Wolfes' attorney. Homewood Suites did not return phone calls or e-mail seeking comment on the suit yesterday. Their attorney also It says that Steven Wolfe has been forced to spend "great sums of money" to help cure his wife of a "loss of enjoyment of life.”

7:32 – Danny’s in a bit of a jam with his friend Taya Parker. Taya’s been pursuing Danny since she first appeared on the show a few months back. Danny’s been a good boyfriend and Amy is the best girlfriend he’s ever had and doesn’t want to mess it up with her. Taya had a crush on Danny for years and she has a genuine interest in doing something with Danny. Amy has an extreme dislike for Taya, especially after Taya gave Danny her number behind Amy’s back. Danny would like to trade Amy something for a night with Taya and doesn’t think that it’s outlandish that Danny asks if it’s possible. Amy’s not interested in another man for a straight trade and he figures that she’d be more upset that he would have an affair with a Penthouse Pet instead of some random girl at a bar. Shila would lose her mind on any guy that asked to go outside the relationship for one night.
7:45 – Amy understands that Danny has no emotional connection with Taya, but just wants it so he can brag. If Danny closes the deal, where does this end? What if another Penthouse Pet wants a piece of Danny after Taya? Danny takes a call from Jim, a listener, who offers himself to Amy so that Danny is able to make a trade for Taya. Probably not gonna happen. If Danny can have Taya then Amy can have anything she wants, but she’s not interested in other men. She’s not interested in money either. Amy does like handwritten notes from Danny because she knows he has to put effort into writing them out with his dyslexia. Maybe he could write her a glowing review of his night with Taya. Maybe not…
7:55 – Metro was in a hotel room with four Penthouse Pets and blew the deal by discussing politics. Jason calls in to say that just because Taya wants Danny that it should be good enough and don’t push Amy too far. What if Taya was in Philly, do it and get away with it. Jason says no because his wife just told him to start seeing other people. He was caught writing to girls on the internet, which is the same thing that was the last straw in his marriage. Danny would prefer to keep things on the level with Amy so that it wouldn’t ruin their romance.
8:06 – Butch calls in to say that Danny reached his physical test by boxing Jose Canseco and not getting knocked down. Now Danny is facing the biggest test to his commitment outside the ring. Kevin, Danny’s favorite gay caller, wouldn’t let him do it, but he would let Danny have an affair with Brad Pitt. Rock is brutally monogamous, but if Alicia Keys offered it up he’d have to do it. Steve wants to know where everyone’s balls are. If you found this one, you can find another. Magum should do it and videotape it so he can sell it and make cash. Danny would do it in a heartbeat. Partridge in a Penthouse could be a cash generator, but it got him a smack across the face.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band proved it by putting on one heck of a Super Bowl Halftime Show ever -- not just by playing the best, but by redefining what that time can be. Springsteen spoke directly to the massive audience, saying, "I want you to step back from the guacamole dip! I want you to put the chicken fingers down and turn your television all the way up!" Opening with an extra-hyped "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," complete with a horn section drafted from "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," an adrenalized Springsteen is so pumped he even overshoots his slide into a camera, ending with him crashing into a cameraman with his belly. That blooms into a massive, jaw-droppingly powerful "Born to Run."
The Super Bowl commercials this year weren't as impressive as previous years. Advertisers relied on babies, animals, slapstick and splashy effects. In a ho-hum crop, the standouts were the familiar Clydesdales and newcomer Conan O'Brien. Watch them all here.

Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler was arrested on Monday, January 26 and charged with being under the influence of a controlled substance — a misdemeanor. He was released the same day at 10:50 a.m. on $50,527 bail. No court date has been set. Steven's representatives tell an online tabloid that Adler was **NOT** under the influence of drugs at the time of his arrest. Adler — who was busted last July for possession of narcotics, being under the influence and for an outstanding warrant, and was ordered by the court to stay at the Pasadena Recovery Center — was arrested this past Monday because he hadn't finished his community service in the time frame given by the judge.
8:45 – Joe, the winner of the Super Bowl party, is on the line. Joe’s grandma goofed on Danny’s boots and overlooked his bedazzled pants and pirate jewelry. She started to threaten the horse that he apparently rode in on. It was a reference lost on Shila. Danny asks about the young tanned girl, who turns out to be underage. The hot blonde is Joe’s girlfriend. Shila wouldn’t stop talking about Joe on the way home.

Olympic great Michael Phelps acknowledged "regrettable" behavior and "bad judgment" after a photo in a British newspaper Sunday showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe. "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," Phelps said in the statement released by one of his agents. "I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again." News of the World said the picture was taken during a November house party while Phelps was visiting the University of South Carolina.
People in Tucson, AZ who were watching the Super Bowl got more action than they bargained for when a short clip from an adult movie channel interrupted Comcast's feed with full male nudity during the final moments of the game. Officials at Comcast said about 30 seconds from Club Jenna were shown on the local Super Bowl telecast. Callers said that the clip showed a woman unzipping a man's pants, followed by a graphic act between the two. The Star newsroom was flooded with calls from irate viewers who said that the porn cut into the game with less than three minutes left to play, just after Arizona Cardinals player Larry Fitzgerald scored on a touchdown pass from Kurt Warner to put the team in the lead. Comcast had "no idea" at the time it happened how the porn may have gotten into its feed, said Kelle Maslyn, a company spokeswoman. Danny thought the urban legends of hidden messages and images in Disney movies were false, but saw a slew of them when watching them with his kids.
