Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: the #1 most listened to comedy show on BlogTalkRadio (Live on Tuesday January 22nd at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

Paige Adams-Geller has perhaps the most important rear end in the fashion industry.

For years, as a fit model, her butt helped shape the clothing that women wear. Now, literally by the seat of her pants, the former Miss California has her own line of premium denim.

How does one make a career out of trying on clothing? What makes her ass different from all other asses? How can anyone feel comfortable in their own genes? We’ll get to the bottom of all that (pun very much intended) when “The Queen of Jeans” joins Dr. B and Dangerous Lee on the Radio Happy Hour. We’ll also give away a copy of her new book, Your Perfect Fit, to one lucky listener.

Then, Columbo’s great-niece and Radio Happy Hour favorite Samantha Falk returns with news of a controversial film project. Falk and actor Ross Tyler, her co-star, have both been cast in Memoirs of a Medicated Child, a movie that producer Tommy S. Parker continues to claim will star Britney Spears. Now, reports (here and here) are surfacing that the troubled pop star was never attached to or offered a role in the film. We’ll do our best to sort this complicated mess out.

All that, plus, Supreme Commander of the Cyberwaves Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge and chats live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman aka J-Lo the Dance Instructor will try to remain racially sensitive and your calls at 646-652-4804

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge-a live chat room during show time-is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!

But if you can’t and miss us live, we’re ALWAYS ON at www.DrBlogstein.com

If that’s not a campaign slogan, I don’t know what is!

Brad Thor, New York Times bestselling author of the upcoming novel The First Commandment and soon-to-be Radio Happy Hour guest on Tuesday July 10th, has drawn the ire of many after he suggested the installation of jailed former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega as dictator of Iraq on an appearance last week on Glenn Beck’s TV show.

See the video of Brad Thor’s appearance on Glenn Beck’s program.

Thor went on to say, “We need a dictator back in that country. That’s all those people respond to. The Arab world is so messed up, they can’t — you can’t give people democracy. They have to earn it. So let’s put our own strongman in there like we did with the shah, and let’s — let’s make it work.”

While it was clear to me that it was said tongue-in-cheek, I say, let’s not close off that idea yet. Back on February 23, 2006 I suggested putting Saddam back in charge for the same reasons. While that’s impossible now, perhaps one of his body doubles could be propped up and put in charge–though before that’s done it would have to be carefully explained to George W. as we don’t want him to get confused and go Shock & Awe again.

But short of a Saddam body double, I think Thor is onto something with Noriega. The man has the dictatorial experience (Noriega, not Thor), he’s not Sunni or Shiite or Kurdish so favoritism will not be an issue and I’m sure he’s just dying to get out of his cell and back into a Panamanian style heat.

I say give it try. It really can’t get much worse.

Welcome to Iraq

Bobby Griffin, the creator of The Bestest Blog of All-Time, who appeared on the April 4th edition of the Radio Happy Hour to defend himself against accusations that he took money from bloggers for promises that he couldn’t keep, appears to be in hot water again.

Working off a tip from “Starrlight,” we’ve discovered that when trying to visit Griffin’s site, we’re greeted by the page displayed at the very bottom of this post, stating: “This blog is under review due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations.“

Griffin’s site promised added traffic to bloggers that signed up to his blog and offered even more exposure to those webmasters and blogger who donated money to him. The more money you donate, the more hits you were promised. But when he stopped updated his site and the hits stopped coming, paying members cried foul.

Griffin came on the The Radio Happy Hour and promised to come back bigger and better than before.

I reached out to Griffin for comment before publication of this post but was too impatient to wait for him to get back to me.

I wanted to bring forward a couple of comments that were left in my previous pot. Its an exchange I had with David Amerland, a publisher from the U.K. and apparently Edmond “Lex Luthor” McGuyer’s spokesperson.

All of this revolves around an email the Edmond sent to me about comments I made about him on the Test Show of Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour when I was discussing this incident.
(There’s a lot of background information but to give it to you in a nut shell: Edmond did something that I feel was not so nice)

For the record, I have invited Edmond on a couple of occasions to call into the show to discuss this matter like rational human beings. I feel bad about how he treated me and its upsetting that it has caused me to lose a friend. Edmond, the offer still stands. Call in next week.

And now, here are the comments that I promised…I left his spacing intact.

Living up to a claim is no easy thing. “Breaking Down Barriers” is always hard to do particularly when those barriers uphold professional ethics, a certain way of professional conduct and the truth. Mystifying comment I know but..hey, let’s take things from the beginning and look at Happy Hour’s 16h minute of broadcasting where the host preens himself on his greatness at being the only one to ever interview Randall Radic. Of course he completely forgets that Radic was interviewed live before anyone else by Lex Luthor in his debut Radio Blog Spot http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hostpage.aspx?show_id=11153 on the 28th January. With convenient loss of memory is slightly at odds with his comments a few minutes later regarding an “email which upset him and behaviour which he does not like”. The email in question was sent regarding unwarranted on air comments concerning Lex Luthor and the ‘behaviour’ Dr B does not like is the exact same first live interview which he has so conveniently forgotten to mention to which he responded with the rather petulant message “you stole my guest, shame on you”. At this point I am going to forego the lecture on professionalism, ethics and even common decency so I will stick to the facts: Lex Luthor live interviewed Randal Radic first. Dr B had no exclusive agreement or rights to Randal Radic. As a professional it was always up to him to move fast. Had he taken six more years to make up his mind would he expect the rest of the Blogging or Journalistic world to guess he was first in his mythical, imaginary line and wait? Then, by virtue of his own on-air comments it appears that we also all are in danger of angering him or arousing his dislike in which case we are fair on-air target. Beyond the litigious angle here which libel lawyers are going to love there is also the one about basic human liberty and professional courtesy. Lex Luthor is a fellow Blog Spot radio host who has publicly acknowledged his esteem for Dr B on his own blog and on air. Obviously the first amendment, journalistic values of impartiality and even common courtesy towards fellow professionals are a reach too far for Dr B, or maybe this is exactly the breaking down of barriers he is aiming for on his show.

David A: Edmond is a very lucky man to have someone like you in his corner. I suppose you’re representing him now since I’ve been unable to get him to email me back or call into the shot to discuss this issue.

I stand by my disgust in his actions and I’ll tell you why. I feel that I earned the opportunity to be informed , if not asked if I minded, if he invited Radic onto his show. Here is what I have done for Edmond that leads me to that feeling:
1: I interviewed him on Dr. Blogstein after he requested I do so.

2: I gave him his nickname, for which he’s created a whole character, web site, etc.

3.I have given him free PR and marketing advice, INCLUDING writing an entire press release for him.

4: He would have never known about or been able to contact Radic if it were not for me.

5: He would not have known about Blog Talk Radio had it not been for me.

Edmond knew I was starting a show. He knew my relationship with Radic and I believe he knew what he was doing was wrong. Had he not thought he was behaving inappropriately I believe I wouldn’t have had to find out about his interview with Radic through a web site press release service.

The offer still stands for Edmond to defend himself on my show. I’m losing faith that this will happen now that he has you as his mouthpiece.
