Update on Baby Lyssa Myspace Page…Updated November 4th.

Some genuine facts about Baby Lyssa’s abandoned Myspace site

A) No new comments from fans since September 1.  Two Months

B) Baby Lyssa had over 20,000 Followers. As of this date, she has dropped over 100 followers

C) Last Blog was posted August 22, 2008

D) Last Login was October 17th, 2008.  In the past, it was daily.

E) Fans who have wrote her since mid-August have reported their messages have not been read.

In summation. This Fan Page of Baby Lyssa’s is now an empty house. We have been told through a Myspace page that Lyssa has a personal page also.  We guess her attention has been diverted to that page instead. It is quite a mediocre site for information.  From our research , Baby Lyssa seems to put as little into her Myspace page now as she does her Page on the Official Site.  Her efforts were short lived and now have vanished.

We understand the crew is busy. However, a few minutes a month for fans would be most welcome.  It is one of the reasons we will not join the Official Site.

Update November 4th.

Baby Lyssa updated her blog today. Judging on the content of her newest blog, perhaps it is best that the blog not often used. What a mess.

We also find it interesting that again she has not bothered to update her Official Site webpage that fans have paid to get access to.

It is somewhat frighting with the economic hardships, war on two fronts, New Orleans, that an adult would base their vote on such idiocy. Perhaps this is why we have suffered the mess and saw GWB elected twice.

I am embarrassed for the Baby Lyssa. She does not come off well in any way with this new posting. I worry about the future of our youth, the choice some make like Baby Lyssa not to finish their education.

Kids, please finish your education. Nothing, besides health, is more important to your future

UPDATE 8.30

The blog has since been removed. We believe it was due to a lot of negative comments.  If any one has a copy of her blog or bulletin, please post it in our comment section. Our newsroom is too busy with election coverage at this point.

Update. 01.09

The myspace account owned by Lyssa is rarely used now.  No fan comments have been added in a few months and when they were, there were only a few.  We have some readers who used to receive a response from her once in a while,  but she has quit responding.  She has logged on and changed her mood, but for information or updates, the page is now useless

Chapmans Vrs. Krutonogs

Duane “Dog” Chapman and his bounty-hunting kin are apparently waging a legal battle with the Krutonog family.

The Dog the Bounty Hunter star and his wife Beth filed a lawsuit Thursday in Honolulu’s First Circuit Court against their former publicist Maureen Kedes Krutonog and her Los Angeles-based Vertex Communications Co., the Pacific Business News reported Friday.

The lawsuit alleges Krutonog sold confidential and “fictional stories” about the A&E star and his family to the National Enquirer and other tabloids, according to the Pacific

According to the lawsuit, Krutonog sold the storier because she wanted revenge on the Chapmans, who fired her in late 2005 or early 2006 after she’d worked for them for less than a year.

“Although she was hired by Mr. Chapman to protect his public image, plaintiffs believe that she instead sold stories that damaged his career,” states the lawsuit, according to Pacific Business News. “[Krutonog is] the Benedict Arnold of the publicity world.”

While the lawsuit doesn’t delve into specifics about the information shared or sold by Krutonog, it allegedly dealt with “personal histories, relationships and business… not being a matter of general knowledge,” according to Pacific Business News.

In addition, the lawsuit reportedly accuses Krutonog of blocking calls related to Chapman’s availability for “appearances, engagements and auditions.”

Chapman’s lawsuit comes five months after Krutonog’s husband Boris sued Dog the Bounty Hunter’s producers for at least $5 million he alleges they owe him in royalties, salary and other compensation.

The Russian-born actor accused that A&E Television Networks, Dog the Bounty Hunter producer David Houts and his production companies breached their contract with him.  Boris sought compensatory and unspecified punitive damages.

In addition, on the same day Chapman and his wife sued Maureen, his sons Duane Lee Chapman II and Leland Chapman and family associate Tim Chapman filed a separate suit against Boris, according to the Pacific Business News.

The three men reportedly describe Boris — who has appeared in such films as Air Force One, The Hunt for Red October and The Italian Job — as a “struggling actor” who represented them in contract negotiations with A&E from 2003 to 2006.

In the lawsuit, they reportedly allege Boris created a secret deal “that called for him to receive more compensation than the show’s stars” by getting a bigger share of the reality show’s profits.

Both Chapman lawsuits accuse the Krutonogs of fraud, misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty, according to the Pacific Business News, which added neither lawsuit specifies the damages sought.

Dog the Bounty Hunter’s fifth season premiered this summer after A&E had suspended production on it and pulled reruns of the its first four seasons off its primetime schedule last November when a taped phone conversation in which Duane could be heard repeatedly using the N-word was made public by the National Enquirer.

Despite the Chapmans’ lawsuit against Maureen, Pacific Business News reported it doesn’t appear that she was involved in the controversy due to the timing of her relationship with the family

TV star Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman has launched a new legal battle with his former publicist over claims she leaked personal information about him to a U.S. tabloid.

Chapman, star of the U.S. TV show Dog The Bounty Hunter, filed a lawsuit against Maureen Krutonog in the circuit court of Hawaii on Thursday, alleging she “damaged his career” by selling “private and confidential information” about him to the National Enquirer.

In court documents obtained by TMZ.com, Chapman also accuses Krutonog of “manufacturing lies” to sell to the tabloids in order to generate publicity for her client.

Chapman hit the headlines last November after his son Tucker Chapman went public with an audiotape on which his father was allegedly heard making racial slurs.

The star further claims Krutonog “was romantically involved with and had substantial influence” over her husband Boris Krutonog, his former agent.

Boris Krutonog, who worked as an executive producer on the TV series, sued the show’s network A&E earlier this year for failing to pay his salary and cutting him out of agreed DVD royalties.

Dog’s Sons Say They Got Boned Too

Posted Oct 24th 2008 3:48PM by TMZ Staff

Three of Duane “Dog” Chapman’s sons are suing Boris Krutonog — the husband of the woman Dog himself is suing. It’s a family thing!

Leland, Tim (not a blood relative, but family nonetheless), and Duane Chapman are suing Krutonog for bilking them out of cash and jacking their contracts to make himself rich. They say Boris “actually negotiated a deal more beneficial” to himself than when he did their deals with the production company.

Seems like they kinda shoulda known better: Even they admit Krutonog wasn’t licensed as a talent agent — just a struggling actor. (You might recognize him from, uh, “The Hunt for the Red October.”)

They’re seeking unspecified damages.

Dog Chapman Sues: Bitch Sold Me Out!

Posted Oct 24th 2008 1:07PM by TMZ Staff

Dog Chapman is suing a publicist he once trusted, claiming she vengefully leaked personal information about him to a tabloid.

In one of the more vitriolic lawsuits we’ve seen in a while, Chapman calls Maureen Krutonog “the Benedict Arnold of the publicity world” for allegedly leaking “private and confidential information” about Dog to the National Enquirer. He claims Maureen “completely ignored her moral, ethical and contractual duties” and calls her betrayal “a blatant display of duplicity.”

Krutonog’s husband, Boris, used to be Dog’s manager. Boris sued A&E Network and the producers of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” earlier this year, claiming he was wrongfully 86′d. Dog thinks the actions of Boris’ wife were simply revenge.

We reached Maureen Krutonog, who quickly said she’d call us back. We’re still waiting.

Back From Hawaii

My son and I have returned home after a nice week in Honolulu.  We were able to attend the Anniversary Party, we had a chance to talk to Dog, Beth, and Duane Lee.  All were very nice and quite friendly.  After a weekend to recover, we will be posting some new stories after meeting with our staff.

Have a great weekend.

Sincerely Jetlagged

Dog’ Chapman sues ex-publicist for talking to tabloids

Celebrity bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman is suing a former publicist whom he blames for selling confidential and “fictional stories” about Chapman and his family to the National Enquirer and other tabloids. In the lawsuit, Chapman and his wife, Beth, accuse Maureen Kedes Krutonog and her firm, Vertex Communications Co. of Los Angeles, of selling or communicating “false and untrue rumors and stories” to the media and blocking inquiries from talent bookers interested in hiring the Chapmans for paid public appearances. The lawsuit, filed in First Circuit Court in Honolulu on Thursday, claims Krutonog was getting back at the Chapmans because they fired her in late 2005 or early 2006 after less than a year on the job. “Although she was hired by Mr. Chapman to protect his public image, plaintiffs believe that she instead sold stories that damaged his career,” the lawsuit said, describing Krutonog as “the Benedict Arnold of the publicity world.” The lawsuit doesn’t describe the information allegedly shared or sold by Krutonog, only that it was about “personal histories, relationships and business … not being a matter of general knowledge.” Krutonog is also accused of blocking calls relating to the Chapmans’ availability for “appearances, engagements and auditions.” A message left for Maureen Kedes Krutonog late Thursday at her office was not returned. Chapman, the owner of Da Kine Bail Bonds in downtown Honolulu, stars with his family in “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” a Hawaii-based reality show on cable network A&E that was first broadcast in 2004. The show recently returned to the air after a break of almost a year caused by Chapman’s use of profanity and racial slurs in a tape-recorded phone conversation. From the timing of Krutonog’s relationship with the Chapmans, it doesn’t appear that she was involved in the controversy, which erupted when a tape of the conversation was sold to the National Enquirer by Chapman’s son, Tucker. Chapman spent most of the past year apologizing for his conduct and trying to make amends by reaching out to minority communities.

A separate suit was filed Thursday by Duane Chapman’s sons, Duane Lee Chapman II and Leland Chapman, and associate Tim Chapman against Maureen Krutonog’s husband, actor Boris Krutonog, whom they describe as their one-time manager. They said Krutonog was a “struggling actor” who represented the three men in contract negotiations with A&E from 2003 to 2006 and concocted a secret deal “that called for him to receive more compensation than the show’s stars” by getting a bigger share of the show’s profits. In May, Krutonog sued A&E and the show’s producers in New York, claiming they owed him at least $5 million in royalties as creator and co-producer of the first three seasons of the show. Krutonog, who has appeared in “24,” “CSI: Miami,” “Star Trek: Voyager” and nearly 30 other TV shows and movies, has insisted he bought the rights to Chapman’s life story. He was best man at the Chapmans’ wedding on the Big Island in 2006. Neither of the lawsuits, which accuse the Krutonogs of fraud, misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty, specified the damages sought.

Bounty Hunter’ celebrates 100th episode

For Friday, October 17, 2008

By Katherine Nichols

“Dog the Bounty Hunter” fan Theresa Sandlin volunteered all day to get a chance to meet Duane “Dog” Chapman, Beth Chapman and (her favorite) Leland Chapman in Waikiki to celebrate the 100th episode of their reality show. “I’ve been dyin’ for this,” said Sandlin, posing for a photo with Leland. “I watch faithfully — since day one.”At the reception and 100th-episode screening at Level 4 Ultralounge Wednesday night, a benefit for March of Dimes Hawaii, the Chapmans greeted fans and shared a massive three-piece cake in the shape of the number 100.

Making it this far “means a lot,” said Leland. “This is not only our job, but it’s also part of our lifestyle. We’re pouring everything into it.”

Beth agreed, and credited the island setting for attracting mainland viewers. “It is thrilling; this is a landmark seldom reached by reality stars.”

The Chapmans have recovered nicely from the temporary suspension of the show by A&E last year. Current Season 5 ratings are higher than previous years, with more than 3 million viewers. The hard edge and subsequent empathy with which the Chapmans approach each bounty is definitely part of the appeal. But who else could do it this way? After all, noted Beth, “We’ve been on both sides. We’ve been the cop and robber.”
