Danny, Jerry, Jenny? Just Birds Of A Feather
We haven’t quite reached the point where everybody has a talk show. But with Danny Bonaduce getting one, you know we’re close.
“Danny!” won’t be your typical psycho fest, the former “Partridge Family” child star says.
“Some of the talk shows forget that no matter how seriously they treat a guy who is sleeping with his rottweiler, it is just a freak show,” Bonaduce, 35, told People magazine. “People like that will not be on my show. They should be in some sort of therapy.”
Bonaduce has already been blessed by one of the masters at a showbiz convention: “I see all the daytime talk show hosts in one group - Jerry Springer talking to Jenny Jones and Montel (Williams). I had to join in. Geraldo (Rivera) comes up to me and says, ‘Bonaduce, they just can’t kill you, can they?’ Then he walked away. I thought that was so cool.”
Loose talk
Beach Boy baby Carnie Wilson, on her goal for her new daytime talk show, “Carnie,” which debuts on Labor Day: “I just want to be an inspiration. I really do.”
Isn’t that where they keep the guns in Ohio?
Cleveland Amory turns 78 today.
The worst was when he took her T-bird away
According to Carnie, growing up with Brian Wilson for a father was no day at the beach. “I started gaining weight at 4 years old because I felt pretty unsafe in my house,” she said on the syndicated TV show “Extra” this week. “If I could get through that childhood, oh, God, I can get through anything.”
He actually was one of their leading lights
Latest to get the ax in the great “Saturday Night Live” purge: flaxen-haired bandleader G.E. Smith, a 10-year veteran of the show who was once married to the late SNL legend Gilda Radner.
Divine was waiting to give mouth-to-mouth
Only in La-La Land: when a handcuffed, suicidal man jumped off the Santa Monica Pier outside a restaurant the other night, Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon dived in to save him while “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss scurried to call 911.
Like one of those milk mustaches, maybe?
Divine Brown (aka Stella Marie Thompson), whose family didn’t know she was a hooker until her arrest with Hugh Grant - she says her mom still hasn’t forgiven her - recently turned down an offer to work with John Wayne Bobbitt. Explained her attorney: “We’re looking for a more wholesome situation.”
It’s not what you know, it’s who you owe
Kato Kaelin insists he’s more than a talentless twit benefiting from his friends’ tragedy. “I don’t know how someone could sit and go, ‘All right, the guy got popular because there was a murder,”’ he told Interview magazine. “There’s been over, what? Like 300 witnesses already … It’s this, for lack of a better word, destiny. I always knew in my heart that something was going to be out there just for the world to notice me.”
