Releasing the Hounds, We've Got a Floater, and Your Chance to Finally Meet Hasselhoff

Who Let the Dog Out? Duane Chapman aka Dog the Bounty Hunter and two of his co-stars, who were arrested earlier for illegal detention and conspiracy, were released from jail Friday on bail. Dog was released on $300,000 bond while his co-stars were released on $100,000 each. They will be required to wear electric monitoring devices while they await their trial. I can't wait to see the episodes that show them running around trying to catch bad guys while sporting ankle bracelets. A&E will be airing a special Tuesday night entitled Dog: The Family Speaks. Speak, Dog, speak! Good Dog. Some People Will Do Anything to Be on TV A dead body washed up close to the set of CSI: Miami Friday where the crew was filming a scene for an upcoming episode. A homeless man spotted the body in Biscayne Bay at Bicentennial Park and reported it to a police officer who was moonlighting as a security guard for the show. Amazingly, this is not the first time a body has showed up near a location where a CSI was filming. One was found this week in a building in Los Angeles where CSI: New York was being filmed.

Three Dogs and a Band With No Name

Dog the Bounty Hunter Arrested Duane "Dog" Chapman, Reality TV star and bounty hunter who has become famous for catching bail-jumpers, has himself been arrested for jumping bail and failing to appear in a Mexican court. Three years ago, Dog became famous when he apprehended Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. However, Dog and his associates were themselves arrested shortly thereafter for failing to turn Luster over to Mexican police. It seems the Mexican authorities are under the odd impression that they should have some kind of say over what goes on in their own country. Silly Mexicans. Chapman later posted bail but failed to appear at a subsequent court hearing. So yesterday, Dog and two of his associates were arrested in Hawaii by federal marshalls. I just wish he had been caught instead by a Mexican bounty hunter named "Perro". Mr. Peabody: The Motion Picture Everyone's favorite super-smart, bespectacled, time-traveling dog (from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show) may be headed for a theater near you at some point in the future. Dreamworks Animation is currently developing a computer-animated movie version of the cartoon. Tiffany Ward, the daughter of Jay Ward (the original show's producer), has been slated as one of the movie's executive producers. Corey Clark Fails to Appear in Court American Idol reject and Paula-Abdul's-boytoy-wannabe Corey Clark (the third "dog" in today's news) failed to appear in court Tuesday on a summons resulting from July 24 arrest for violating a court order and trespassing. As a result, an arrest warrant is expected to be issued. The July 24 arrest was the result of an incident at the home of the parents of Clark's wife. In June, a domestic violence protective order was granted Clark's wife, Monica Rodriguez Gonzalez, against Clark which prohibited him from having any contact with her, their child and seven other people. A Supernova By Any Other Name The band that chose it's lead singer on this season of the reality show Rockstar: Supernova cannot use the name "Supernova" when it goes on tour, ruled a United States District Court judge Tuesday. Another band by the same name has been performing since 1991. The ruling was actually a preliminary injuction pending the outcome of the trial. The could just use the name I have for them - "The Unwashed", or as most of America knows them, "That Guy That Married Pamela Anderson and Those Other Guys".
