Hey, who’s that buffed-out little red-haired guy with the grunge-holdover goatee strolling through the parking lot of the Vons at the intersection of Sunset and Hollywood and Hillhurst and Virgil (otherwise known as the Worst Intersection in the Contiguous 48 States, but that’s a whole different topic)? I would say it’s Danny Bonaduce, new Loveline co-host and reality TV star (and former steroid abuser, wife shouter-at-er, and transsexual prostitute dupe. And drug addict). But this guy is smiling and laughing and generally having a grand old time with a little girl I assume is his daughter. The Danny Bonaduce I’ve seen on TV is an angry self-destructive maniac, and this guy looks like any average Joe out for a Saturday afternoon shopping trip with his kid. Either my TV is lying to me, or all that therapy we saw on the first season of Breaking Bonaduce is finally paying off. I’m going to go with the latter, because the idea of reality TV being fake is just a little too much to bear.
