Danny Bonaduce recently admitted to the Enquirer that the ending of his 18 year marriage to ex-wife Gretchen was entirely his fault because he cheated on her. Danny’s paying a hefty $16,000 a month is spousal support to her, and while he seems a little bitter about it he acknowledges that he bares all the burden for it.

“I blew a perfectly good marriage to a perfectly good woman,” Danny, 49, told the Enquirer. “I would love to hate Gretchen for it, shortchange her somehow – but unfortunately, I wrecked this marriage. I didn’t play fair. I can’t hold her accountable at all.” In the wake of Danny’s marriage disaster, the couple will share custody of their two children. The sadder-but-wiser entertainer added: “Here’s my marriage advice – try to avoid other women in you want a successful marriage.”

Danny is also thinking about doing another reality show – supposedly to pay the bills. And while he’s obviously got some pretty big ones to pay, I think it’s probably more to support his ego and convince himself that hot young women would actually compete for the love of this crazy loon.

Danny is dating Amy Railsback, but is pondering doing another reality show, “The Next Mrs. Bonaduce” – in which a group of beautiful hopefuls would vie to be Danny’s next wife.

“If I agree to do the show, it will be only because Amy and I broke up,” Danny says. “I would never do it while having a girlfriend.”

I’m paying a ridiculous amount of alimony,” Danny says. “I have to work a lot!” Unless, of course, Danny can get his ex Gretchen married off. “As of today, there’s a $100,000 bounty on Gretchen,” Danny adds. “I’ve been divorced only days, but I will give a good man $100,000 cash to get Gretchen off my payroll.”

What a lovely thing to say about your current girlfriend. “I’d only think about doing this show if we broke up.” Sounds like he’s pretty serious about this relationship. Who wants to bet Danny conveniently ends the relationship the day before filming begins? I can’t even watch five seconds of this guy. He’s got so many mental health issues just bursting out of him that it’s exhausting and emotionally draining to hear him even speak for a few seconds. I think they should do a show about Danny Bonaduce going through extreme, intensive, 24/7 therapy for the next year. That would be a much better decision, and less likely to end in divorce.
