Dog the Bounty Hunter: New Season, a Lawsuit and a Feud

* Dog the Bounty Hunter Prepares for New Season

* Actor Sues DTBH Producers

* Dog to Battle on Celebrity Family Fued



It's time to check in on Duane Chapman and Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Less than a month until New Dog the Bounty Hunter

The new shows debut on Wednesday, July 16 on A & E Network.

Dog the Bounty Hunter,” a reality TV series that follows the unruly activities of Duane “Dog” Chapman, is returning to the air after its indefinite cancellation last November. Fans will be able to hear the beloved strains of “I’ll hunt you down, cause I‘m the dog” when the show continues with a brand new series on Wednesday, July 16.


The show, which is aired on the A&E network, chronicles the life of bounty hunter and bondsman Chapman who resides in Honolulu. Events of previous episodes have included his work in tracking and capturing bail jumpers and occurrences in his family relationships.

July 16 can't come soon enough for the legion of Dog fans.




DTBH Producers Sued by Actor

A Russian-born actor, Boris Krutonog, who says he created Dog the Bounty Hunter, has sued the show's producers for at least $5 million. Krutonog claims that he's owed compensation for royalties, salary and other considerations.

Krutonog also complains in court papers that he was the target of "abusive, violent and outrageous conduct" and "episodes of psychotic behavior by" the show's stars, Duane "Dog" Chapman and his wife Beth. Court papers say that he introduced himself to "Dog" Chapman in 1995. Believing that Chapman's colorful life and exploits could be the basis of a movie or a TV show, Krutonog signed contracts with Chapman and received the exclusive right to develop the program. Between 1995 and 2003, Krutonog alleges that he developed what became Dog the Bounty Hunter. The papers noted that A&E agreed to pay him as co-executive producer "for the life of the program" in order to obtain Krutonog’s consent to produce and air the show.

TV Dog Feuds on TV for Charity

Dog and members of his family will match up with Cathy Lee Gifford on Celebrity Family Feud for charity.

Family Feud goes Hollywood with an all-new celebrity edition of the classic game show, premiering Tuesday, June 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on "A". Hosted by Al Roker, Celebrity Family Feud is a star-studded version of the beloved game show, only this time 24 famous families will face off and throw down for the charity of their choice. Former TV Queen Kathy-Lee Gifford goes head-to-head with Dog the Bounty Hunter, the casts of My Name is Earl and The Office fight for first place and Deion Sanders tries to keep up with the Kardashians.

Dog and his bounty hunter family will be only one star-studded match-up. The line-up consists of:

* Ice T vs. Joan and Melissa Rivers
* Raven-Symone vs. Wayne Newton
* Kathie Lee Gifford vs. Dog the Bounty Hunter
* The Kardashians vs. Deion and Pilar Sanders
* Bill Engvall vs. Larry the Cable Guy
* Vivica A. Fox vs. Mo'Nique
* Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry vs. the Teutul family from American Chopper
* Tiki Barber vs. Ed McMahon
* Vincent Pastore vs. cast members from The Girls Next Door
* Corbin Bernsen vs. Margaret Cho
* "The Hickeys" from My Name Is Earl vs. "The Camden County All-Stars" from My Name Is Earl
* Cast members from The Office vs. the American Gladiators.

As fans well know, DTBH was pulled from A&E's lineup last November after a private cellphone conversation was sold by his son to the National Enquirer. The Enquirer released the tape which contained racial slurs.

In May, A&E announced that the show would return, with assurances that Chapman had taken the necessary efforts in receiving forgiveness from those who had been affected by his racist comments. A statement from the network explained, “Since the premise of Dog the Bounty Hunter is about second chances, we have decided to give him one.”

Before the show's suspension, the program was the network’s highest rated series.

Looks like Duane Chapman is making the most of his second chance, which for fans and Chapman alike, begins on July 16

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Two Fan Reaction Videos

Two fan videos of Dog the Bounty Hunter. The first is a video tribute to the Dog and the second is a fan's answer to the Hannity & Colmes interview that was done earlier this week.

Which one comes closer to your idea of how you feel about he whole Dog the Bounty Hunter controversy?

Let us know in your comments at the end of the story.

So far, support for Duane "Dog" Chapman has been running nearly 90% in favor of the Dog. Check out the links at the end of this if you'd like to go register your support or disapproval on several on-line petitions.

by Mondoreb

------------------------
Editorial Reaction Round-up
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Beg pardon, but who died and made Al Sharpton president of the Negroes?

Not that Sharpton has ever declared himself as such. But the fact that some regard him as black America's chief executive was driven home for the umpteenth time a few days ago after TV reality show bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman got in trouble for using a certain toxic racial epithet - six letters, starts with "n," rhymes with digger - on the phone with his son.

As you may have heard, Chapman was expressing disapproval of the son's black girlfriend.

"It's not because she's black," he said. "It's because we use the word 'n-----' sometimes here. I'm not going to take a chance ever in life of losing everything I've worked for for 30 years because some f------ n----- heard us say 'n-----' and turned us in to the Enquirer magazine."

Naturally, the son sold a tape of the conversation to the National Enquirer. Which leaves me in the awkward position of simultaneously loathing what Chapman said and pitying him for having raised a rat fink son who would sell out his own father for a few pieces of silver.

Anyway, with his life and career circling the drain, an apologetic Chapman fell back on what is becoming standard operating procedure for celebrities who defame black folk. He contacted Sharpton.

In so doing, he follows the trail blazed by Don Imus, Washington shock jock Doug "Greaseman" Tracht and Michael Richards, who sought out Sharpton (or, alternately, Jesse Jackson) after saying what they wished they had not. They were all, in turn, following the news media, which, whenever a quote on some racial matter is required, turn to the right reverends by reflex.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Dog Trivia

"My name is Duane Dog Chapman. I've lived a hell of a life. I've been a biker, I've been a convict, I've been a husband, father, and son."

All was fairly quiet on the Dog the Bounty Hunter front last night. No statements, no threats of lawsuits--just the sound of fans scrambling to find internet petitions to sign to perhaps try and make their voices heard to TV executives to return the Dog to the air.

In the spirit of "No news is good news" at this point, we thought we'd look around for some facts about Duane "Dog" Chapman to pass along.

After reading these, you may agree that the Bounty Hunter has lived an interesting life.

Duane "Dog" Chapman's show was suspended after a racial slur on November 1, 2007. The tape of the slur was released by a national tabloid.

Duane, known for being a very religious man, was given the nickname Dog by Tom, a fellow Disciple member, because its God spelled backwards.

While Dog was imprisoned at the Texas State Penitentiary for his murder conviction, his prisoner number was 271097. He also served as the warden's barber.

Favorite television shows as a child were: The Lone Ranger, Sky King, and The Green Hornet.

One of Dog's children, Zebediah, died only 30 days after birth. The boy was premature.

Duane Chapman was arrested on September 14, 2006, in Hawaii. He was charged with illegal detention and conspiracy in an alleged kidnapping of Andrew Luster. He was initially arrested in Mexico three years ago, but failed to show up for court, which resulted in a warrant for his arrest.

Barbara Katie Chapman, one of Dog’s children, was killed in an automobile accident the day before he married Beth.

Duane dropped out of school in the seventh grade from Rishel Junior High. (edit)
Dog is part Native American, specifically the Chiricahua Apache tribe, and proud of his heritage.

Dog caught notorious Kona burglar Bryan Blair, who was lying low in Kansas City.

Dog is 5’7’’ and admits to using customized boots to increase his height to 5’10’’.

Duane has been arrested 18 times, and served time in prison for murder.

Duane “Dog” Chapman was a Kirby vacuum salesman before his bounty hunting career.

Dog started bounty hunting in 1979 to pay off child support he accrued while in prison, $200.

Dog Chapman became famous when he captured Andrew Luster in Mexico.

Dog claims to have captured 6,000+ criminals.

Dog has been married 5 times: LaFonda, Ann, Lyssa, Tawny, and Beth. He also has 12 children, 11 of which are his own. Cecily, who is Beth's daughter from her first marriage, is not Dog's biological daughter but he considers her his own.

Dog has a son named Tucker,sentenced 20 years in prison for armed robbery.
--Source: TV.com

The Dog certainly has lived through some interesting times.

Of course, one famous Chinese curse states "May you live in interesting times".

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Sign Petition For DogSupport Cuts Across Racial Lines

DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER UPDATES:

SIGN THE SAVE THE BOUNTY HUNTER PETITION

LISTEN to the INTERVIEW: DOG is a "Ticking Bomb"

Dog the Bounty Hunter's thousands of fans now have a chance to be heard. There are petitions popping up all over the internet.

When last we looked there were petitions, like the one below at "Keep Dog on TV", at TMZ and for awhile on CNN at the Larry King Page.

Whether these will sway the powers-that-be at the Arts & Entertainment Network, where the Bounty Hunter held sway, is not known. But if you are a Dog fan, it can't hurt and it gives you a chance to express your opinion.

Thousands upon thousands of Dog fans across the country have poured onto the Internet this week to help rally support to help return "Dog the Bounty Hunter" back to the airwaves.

One thing is for sure, the support for the Bounty Hunter seems to be in the 85-90% range. That's 9-1 in favor of the show returning.

And the support cuts across racial lines. Of the many comments and letters received at this site alone, the support among non-whites is nearly as great as the white Dog Fans.

Most fans are basically saying the same thing.

"We know Dog's a little rough around the edges. He's lived a hard life and tried to provide for his family. He shouldn't have said what he said, but it was private and if you listen to the tapes, he was more worried about his son Tucker's girlfriend being offended if she was around than slurring her."

Or variations thereof.

Here's an audio link from TMZ of an interview in July where the Dog says somedays he's like a bomb, ready to blow.

Who isn't?

If A & E doesn't respond to the outpouring of support for the Bounty Hunter, it's nearly certain that one of their competitors will. Advertisers have to take note also that the outcry in nearly wholly behind the hard-living Dog who has a heart of gold.

Dog the Bounty Hunter and Black America

Dog the Bounty Hunter and Black America: Dog Update

A nice article from Bloggers New Network about Black America: Does it forgive Dog the Bounty Hunter? The story below speculates that they do, based on the response from Dog's black fans.

We got one such letter yesterday at DBKP. It's after the story below.

From psburton at BNN:

A majority of African Americans who saw Duane Chapman’s interview on Larry King express a willingness to forgive dog the bounty hunter provided his remorse and humility was genuine. I made a point of asking one of my neighbors who is black to watch the show so I could solicit his opinion. ”Mostly I would say its his upbringing that caused him the trouble” my friend remarked. I asked if he felt it would be appropriate for A&E to give him his job back. “Yea and he should spend some of the salary they pay him on adult education”. ”The thing is, Not so much what the “Dog” was saying” ”It’s a black minister willing to come on National t.V.’ and say now look here brothers and sisters, I am this mans spiritual leader and while he may need counseling on the use of profanity and slurs he is not a racist and I am also telling you he is a believing Christian and a friend of mine”

The king interview revealed a man who confirmed my previous opinion its not so much an issue of racism with the Dog as it is a lack of education and impulse control. Some cash spent on a few verbal advantage tapes and anger management courses would be a good step toward achieving his stated desire to become something other then where he came from.

I speculate many African Americans would object and loudly if A&E or another network decides to return the Dog to America’s living room. But the final decision comes down to dollars and cents. Dog has lots of fans and those fans some of who are black are the ones who ultimately decide what sells and what does not.
More from BNN

We received this email yesterday. We thought the writer made some good points.

I want to send you an e-mail to let you know that I and my non-white family are behind the Dog! He said nothing but an exagerated swear word for what the "duo" must have already done before this incident...

Not only that the conversation very private, but also made public by people that you must doubt integrity and motives; how did they get Dog talking like that despite of his "one of the boys" attitude even with criminals...???? Like my grandson may say,"are you nuts?"

Said Damon Wayans at the "View," "Black folks sitting it out laughing, just watching,, while whites cry out 'foul', 'foul' and have the sense of what?... conscience? " Let's ruin someone today?"
Ruin then anyone who say the word, white or black, grey or yellow...whatever race, rather than hulk in the shadows, wait. then wait for judas and girlfriend with 30 pieces of silver to buy a private conversation. Guess what? Enquirer do not have any ethics, but they showed Dog's son and his girlfriend to be the bad guys here... They must have known the common swear word in the prison, in the house, in Dog's experience, and they entrapped Dog to say it. Wake up everyone, punish the real culprit. Dog takes care of his family; his son and girlfriend want to destroy the family and its livelihood.

Never met Dog except in his tv show that I watch regularly, but I feel for him and the rest of his family...
WE are behind Dog,

Danni, Lynn

Nice letter and story.

SUE HIM! Dog the Bounty Hunter: SUE! Tucker's Girlfriend Plans to Sue Dog

DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER: GIRLFRIEND TO SUE DOG -UPDATE-

You just knew it was coming.

In an America where someone sues when they spill coffee in their own lap, it was only a matter of time.

Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman will be the target of a lawsuit by his son Tucker's girlfriend, Monique Shinnery. She said she plans on filing soon.

More from the NE:

The victim of Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman's racist rant announced today that she plans to sue him.

Monique Shinnery, who was repeatedly called "n----r" by Chapman on tape told The National ENQUIRER: "I'm going to sue Dog Chapman."

Chapman not only subjected her to racist slurs, but he also attacked her character in subsequent TV interviews, even though he had never met or spoken to her.

His public attacks on her character pushed Monique over the edge.

As he attempts to save his TV show, Chapman has appeared on two national TV shows offering tearful - and at times bizarre apologies - for using racist slurs. But he has continued to damage Monique's reputation while trying to dig himself out of trouble, she told The National ENQUIRER.

"I want justice," Monique told The National ENQUIRER. "He has slandered me, stated that I have bad character and repeatedly lied about me on national television. If I'm ever going to hold my head up in public again, I need to stand up for what is right."

In March, Dog used the "N" word over and over again while demanding that his son, Tucker, dump Monique, his girlfriend of seven months, if he wants to be part of the Chapman family. The conversation reached the outraged ears of the world when The National ENQUIRER exclusively released the venomous, racist tapes, and caused A&E to drop Dog's show from their schedule "for the foreseeable future." A&E has refused to cancel the show, its top moneymaker.

Chapman has apologized for using the "N" word, but he has tried to keep the focus off the fact that he said he did not want a black person in his house or in his family.

In his first written and public apology, Chapman, who had never met, nor seen, Monique, said, "I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character."

"Dog Chapman knows nothing about my character," Monique, 21, who has no criminal record, works with mentally challenged children and hopes to enlist in the Coast Guard, told The National ENQUIRER. "He doesn't know me, and he has never met me.

"I have had threats from his fans. I have been hiding, afraid to go out. After Dog's slander against me, my boss told me they might require that I take a drug test. I have never done drugs.

"Dog said on television that I had a plan to jump (his wife) Beth and hoped to tape her using racial language. He said he saw me and another girl in a car outside his shop, wearing tank tops.

"I never wear a tank top, I have never been in that parking lot when they were at their bail bond shop and I certainly wouldn't jump Beth. I weigh 105 pounds! She'd kill me!

"It was all lies. He 'apologizes' and then continues to lie about me. I cannot and do not accept his apology, because it was insincere.

"It's not even about him using the 'N' word. It's about him not wanting a black woman to be part of his family or part of his son's life.

"They use the 'N' word all the time. Once, Beth said to Tucker, 'If you want to smoke, you can go over to your n----r girlfriend's house and smoke.' Beth's as much of a racist as Dog is.

"Tucker and I were talking with Baby Lyssa (Dog's daughter) one time and she said, 'N----rs,' and quickly changed it to 'black people' when she realized I was listening. Their family is just like that.

Looks like Monique is reaching for her Lawsuit Lottery ticket and her 15 minutes of fame.

Hope we don't get sued for saying that.

Dog Still Loves the Son Who Sold Him Out

More Chapman family news from Reuters:

Celebrity bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, whose reality TV show has been pulled from the air indefinitely after he used a racial slur, says he still loves the son who sold the tape of his private remark.

Cable channel A&E took the popular show, "Dog the Bounty Hunter," off its schedule for the foreseeable future after a private phone call in which Chapman used an offensive term to describe his son Tucker's black girlfriend hit the Internet.

Chapman said his son Tucker had sold the tape of the conversation that dates back to March to The National Enquirer but he did not know why.

"He will not talk to me," said Chapman, who has 12 children and has been married five times.

"His mother's in on it with him. I have been away from her since the '80s so now she is like getting even," he told the Larry King Live show on CNN on Wednesday night.

A teary Chapman, who has apologized repeatedly since the tape was made public and promised to make amends, said he had used the epithet "nigger" on a heated call with his son while admitting he was probably interfering in his life.

Chapman said Tucker had been sent to prison at the age of 18 and served four years of a 20 year sentence for armed robbery before being released on parole.

"I tried to take control of his life (after this)," said Chapman, himself an ex-con. "I heard this girl was maybe not being the best for Tucker -- and I'll leave it like that -- so I tried to interfere.

"I don't care if she is black at all. He's on parole for a 20 year sentence and if he messes up he goes back."
Honolulu-based Chapman, 54, who says he is a devout Christian, made no comment on reports that his son sold the tape for $15,000.

"All I want him to know is that I love him very much," he said.

A&E has said no decision has been made to cancel the program, which is shown in more than 10 countries, and the network will review the situation again later this month.

Chapman, with his trademark scraggly long blond hair and leather wardrobe, rose to fame after his 2003 tracking and capture of Max Factor heir and serial rapist Andrew Luster in Mexico.

This led to an offer for a reality TV show following him and his "posse" tracking down people who jump bail.

Sounds like a concerned father.

JUDGE'S RULING ONLY GOOD NEWS LAST FEW DAYS
The only good news that's been reported in the last week for Duane "Dog" Champman has been the news that the last attempt to jail him for his Mexican adventure that brought him to fame is over,

This was reported yesterday, but a more in-depth report is now presented. More from aol:

Television bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, who had his reality show taken off the air after getting caught using a racial slur, will not be extradited to Mexico to face a pending appeal of kidnapping charges against him, a judge ruled Monday.

The U.S. government had been trying to send Chapman, his son Leland Chapman and a third man to the resort town of Puerto Vallarta, where they were charged with kidnapping Andrew Luster, a Max Factor heir who had jumped a $1 million bond on charges that he drugged and raped three women.

Luster's disappearance during his trial in California set off an international manhunt by police, FBI and bounty hunters trying to recoup some of the bond money. In June 2003, Chapman and the others apprehended Luster, and the fugitive was taken back to the United States to serve the 124-year sentence he was given while on the lam.

But because bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, prosecutors in that country charged the three with kidnapping and asked U.S. authorities to arrest the trio and ship them to Puerto Vallarta.

A Mexican judge dismissed the kidnapping charges in July, ruling that Mexican prosecutors had taken too long in their attempts to bring the trio to trial. But Mexican prosecutors appealed the ruling, and the U.S. attorney's office in Honolulu, where the senior Chapman lives, declined to dismiss the extradition proceedings pending the outcome.

Still, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren in Honolulu on Monday dismissed the extradition attempt because the judge said the three are no longer charged with any offenses, despite the appeal.

"I don't think they have any regrets whatsoever in facilitating the capture of Mr. Luster, who is a known and convicted rapist," his San Francisco lawyer, James Quadra, said Monday. "Though this has been a difficult process, they are proud of what they have done."

Co-counsel Brook Hart said in Honolulu that Chapman and his wife, "while very appreciative of the court's ruling, are not celebrating today" in light of the tempest created by his use of racial epithets.

Dog will be on Larry King Live tonight to discuss the affair with Mr. Softball himself. Known for presenting an unvarnished image to the public, he'll look for just a bit of varnish at CNN.

Dog the Bounty Hunter -canceled-: LARRY KING LIVE, How Much Money Did Tucker Receive?

Dog to Appear on Larry King LIVE Tonight
Girlfriend Rejects Apology

Dog the Bounty Hunter Wednesday Update:
$10,000? $15,000? $875,000?
How much. How much did Duane "Dog" Chapman's son, Tucker, who sold the tapes of his father talking to him on a private cellphone, recieve for the tapes? Rumors abound as to the amount.

One source said "as much as $875,000", other estimates were quite lower. The lowest amount whispered about was a mere $10,000. Tucker Chapman's known drug problems could have led him to accept the far lower amount. $15,000 is the amount that was used on one broadcast as the amount in question.

Regardless, Tucker received far more than the Biblical "30 pieces of silver", as several have termed it.

Dog will be on Larry King LIVE tonight to discuss: the tapes, what was behind his anger that sparked the outburst and other topics. Larry King Live is on CNN.

Meanwhile, the girlfriend in question said he rejected Dog's apology.

"I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing," he said. "I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me."
--Duane "Dog" Chapman

The woman at the center of Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman’s racial tirade, which was broadcast throughout the Web and broadcast outlets all over the country, says she rejects his apology.

FROM YESTERDAY




DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER UPDATE: Tuesday 5:53 EST

Dog lands at LAX and is asked "Have you talked to Tucker? Have you guys made up?"
VIDEO HERE

Monday was relatively quiet. A judge dismissed one of the last charges against Duane "Dog" Chapman stemming from his famous Mexico caper with the Max Factor heir. And he landed at LAX with wife Beth and others.

Dog will appear on Larry King LIVE on CNN on Wednesday.

TMZ's take:

Still in the dog house for his liberal use of the N word in a taped phone call with his son Tucker, potty-mouthed "Bounty Hunter" Duane Chapman had little to say on arrival at LAX this morning.

With wife Beth in tow, the gold-chain-wearing ex-con and father of nine (!) revealed only that he has not made up with his young pup -- who allegedly recorded the verbal assault on his girlfriend, Monique Shinnery. Shocker.

Dog the Bounty Hunter Canceled: Dog Nixed from Parade

Dog the Bounty Hunter UPDATE:

'Dog' Did Not Want To Disrupt Parade, Officials Say

From KNBC:

Duane "Dog" Chapman, the flamboyant, born-again bounty hunter in trouble recently for his use of the n-word, has been nixed from the lineup in El Cajon's Nov. 19 Mother Goose Parade.

"It was mutually agreed between Duane 'Dog' Chapman and the Mother Goose Parade Association that Dog would not participate in the parade this year. Dog did not want to cause any disturbances with the parade," according to a statement from the city.

Probably not a bad move. Though fan reaction has generally been running in Dog's favor, they'd be those on both sides of the issue that might turn what is primarily a children's event into a forum to express their views.

And those views probably don't have much to do with Mother Goose--even if Old Mother Hubbard gave her old dog a bone.

Fan reaction continues to run heavily in the Dog's favor, with online petitions springing up on various Internet sites. Whether the Dog the Bounty Hunter returns to the air and where largely seems to depend upon public reaction at this point.

We've located one such petition online. To sign this online petition, go to the following site: For fan reaction and petition: Leland Chapman Online
