The last few weeks haven\u2019t been great for Danny Pintauro<\/strong>.  It all started on Thanksgiving night when he had a mishap on one of those rental scooters (full disclosure \u2013 I use them all the time in LA).  He was in the bike lane (which I rarely am), when it suddenly was blocked with cone pylons.  He swerved only to find himself between a pylon and a van.  As he said, \u201cThe pylons hurt!\u201d  While he initially thought he broke an arm, he ended up having an infection in his bloodstream due to a tear in his stomach lining.  An emergency laparotomy and abdominal surgery took place \u2013 followed by a long stay in ICU while intubated.  While he is doing better, his medical bills are daunting.  He started a GoFundMe <\/em>page with a modest goal of $5K \u2013 which was reached quickly.  Still, I\u2019m sure anything you could donate would be helpful: GoFundMe.com\/dans-health-costs-from-the-scooter-accident<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

By the by, you\u2019ll recall that Alyssa Milano <\/strong>planned a reboot of Who\u2019s The Boss? <\/em><\/strong>a couple of years back.  It bounced around several networks until it landed at Freevee <\/em>\u2013 which itself is hanging on by a thread.  This may explain why the reboot plans were scuttled.  Throughout discussions, Milano talked about reuniting with Tony Danza <\/strong>and hopes that Judith Light <\/strong>would pop in.  But I don\u2019t recall the word \u201cPintauro\u201d being uttered \u2013 not that udders are his department.  It gave some credence to rumors that the twosome didn\u2019t get along…which I found somewhat amusing, because if anyone loves the gays, it\u2019s Milano!  Anyway, in writing about the LA fires, Danny said the following: \u201cMy dear friend Alyssa Milano has been posting some incredibly helpful links to various charities and assistance programs so I\u2019m going to ask you to rely on her wonderful content at this time.\u201d  He may no longer have her phone number, but he\u2019s still following her on social media!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not someone who typically goes to these fan conventions, but even I am tempted by the lineup for MegaCon <\/em><\/strong>in Orlando in February.  Sure, my feathers got fluffed with the thought of Dolph Lundgren<\/strong>, Tom Welling<\/strong>, Brandon Routh <\/strong>and Grant Gustin <\/strong>in the same room.  But there are also some special reunions scheduled.  Fans of Happy Days<\/em><\/strong> can snag a snap with the gang from Arnold\u2019s <\/em>\u2013 Ron Howard<\/strong>, Henry Winkler<\/strong>, Anson Williams <\/strong>and Donny Most <\/strong>in the same booth.  If you\u2019re a bit younger, you can purchase a pic with stars from The Breakfast Club<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Judd Nelson<\/strong>, Molly Ringwald<\/strong>, Ally Sheedy<\/strong>, and Anthony Michael Hall<\/strong>.  Who says you can\u2019t go home again?  Check out FanExpoHQ.com\/MegaConOrlando<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Should you be in the Las Vegas area, you might wanna check out the annual GayVN Awards<\/em><\/strong>.  Sponsored by Adult Video News<\/em>, these awards celebrate the best in gay porn, and I should know \u2013 I\u2019m a judge.  These shows always need a sassy gay man to hold things together, so they\u2019ve once again enlisted Alec Mapa <\/strong>as host.  The statues will be presented on January 20th<\/sup> \u2013 God knows what will be done with them after that!  The place?  The Virgin Hotels Las Vegas <\/em>\u2013 as apt a spot as any.  You can find tix and information on AVN.com\/gayvnawards<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
