When scheduled guest Demond Wilson was a no show on this week’s Radio Happy Hour, we were determined not to go “Demond Wilson-less.”

Instead of the beloved sitcom actor who played  Lamont Sanford on NBC’s 70’s hit Sanford and Son,we introduced the Blogstein audience to a band called Demond Wilson.

The band, discovered accidentally by co host (and lead singer of edibleRed) Collette McLafferty while she was researching the more well known Demond Wilson, describes themselves on their MySpace page as Black Metal, Progressive, and Ghettotech.

It is still unknown if the Helena, MT band is still active (or if they are racist–some of the songs are questionable.)

The Radio Happy Hour will continue to track them down and invite them onto the program.  Until then, scroll to the 46:26 minute of the show below to hear Dr. Blogstein, Collette McLafferty and Burl discover this new band. Then, at the very bottom of this post, feel free to sample their tunes.

Discover Demond Wilson–the band at the 46:26 minute mark

Radio Happy Hour:

Actor Kevin Sorbo is best known for starring in two hugely successful television shows.

Sorbo quickly rose to stardom in 1993 in the title role of the hit series, “Hercules, the Legendary Journeys”.   The series not only became a breakout hit by becoming the number one first-run program in syndication, it also passed “Baywatch” as the most watched TV show in the world.

Sorbo then went on to star in the lead role of “Captain Dylan Hunt” in “Gene Roddenberry’s, Andromeda”. The series, based upon writings from the late “Star Trek” creator’s archives, debuted as the number one hour show in first run syndication and held that spot throughout it’s five year run from 2000-2005.

As the fat, girly kid in an athlete’s world, Phil Putnam rode the bench and read his books while his brain got bigger and his pride shrunk smaller. With the onset of Tourette’s Syndrome at age 9 and no solid music experience until high school, he was the clear long shot for a career in music.

His ambition, however, having all the subtlety of a teenager on prom night, never let up. He studied singing through high school and discovered a shockingly strong talent in piano when he taught himself to play in college. It wasn’t long before he combined his fresh musical skills with a lifelong love of writing and was introduced to his future.

The Brittany Flickinger interview begins at about the 42:00 mark
Just Press Play–>Download audio file (Brittany-Flickinger.mp3)

Brittany Flickinger is one bitter BFF.

While Paris Hilton was launching Season 2 of her MTV reality series, My New BFF, on June 2, the Season 1 winner was busy bashing the hotel heiress here on BlogTalkRadio.

.

“I’m really sick of getting branded with a bad reputation for hang ing out with her and sticking up for such a disgusting, self-centered user. I’m a good person… I have morals. I don’t have to do anything disgusting or rash to get famous,” she told Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour.

The bad blood between the duo, said Brittany, began when the series wrapped in December.

“She’d tell me things that made me think I was her best friend. And we got really close. And I’m like, Oh, man, this is really nice,” she said of Paris.

“Then all of a sudden it was like, ‘Casting for BFF 2! Better end this now. Bye. I don’t need you anymore.’ That’s disgusting to do to somebody… That’s defamation of character.”

But Brittany didn’t stop there. Recounting her early days on the show with Paris, she said, “It was around the time she broke up with Benji [Madden], so she was feeling lonely. And she would say things to me that led me to believe that she really did think we were best friends.

“So I was like, ‘Oh, shit. This girl must be a little fucked up.’”

Brittany’s position on Paris marks a stark departure from how she portrayed their relationship in January, when she said they were, if not Siamese twins, still quite sisterly.

“We’re not married. We’re BFFs,” she said in a January interview. “Friends aren’t attached at the hip 24/7. And when we’re somewhere together and we’re not attached at the hip, they’re like, ‘Oh, no. They’re fighting!’”

The spurned reality contestant also accused Paris this week of censoring her in cyberspace:

“Any time I say anything about her to defend myself – after all the interviews she has done lying about me and making all this stupid stuff up – everything that I say is taken off the Internet.”
