Bob Guccione, Founder of Penthouse Magazine, has Died

Bob Guccione, the man who founded the X-rated print magazine “Penthouse” has died after battling lung cancer. He was 79 years old.

While this saddens me, I only wrote for Penthouse once because they wanted Hollywood stars. Hustler is my #1 because they have the renegade, anti-republican theme going on. Plus they buy my interviews, so obviously they are the coolest X-rated zine still around. And I worship Larry Flynt. If Flynt were to die before me, I would be in mourning for months. Guccione, not so much. Sorry Bob.

Yes, Tom Bosley Died.

Tom Bosley, the actor most famously known as Mr. Cunningham on the long-running show “Happy Days” has died of heart failure at a hospital near his Palm Springs home.  He was also battling lung cancer at the time of his death. He was 83 years old.

Sorry this is late, but I had the flu so I just didn’t bother to post it. Forgive me?
