EDMONTON – You can’t keep a good mutt down.
After spending a few months in the doghouse, Duane Chapman (a.k.a. Dog the Bounty Hunter) is back on the road – nabbing some of Hawaii’s worst criminals on his A&E show and offering motivational sessions to fans across North America.
Dog will “perform” May 28 at River Cree Resort and Casino. Tickets are $39.50 plus service charges at Ticketmaster and they go on sale Friday.
Duane Chapman otherwise known as Dog The Bounty Hunter speaks in Calgary in 2007.
A&E temporarily pulled the plug on his reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, after Chapman was caught uttering racist remarks about his son’s girlfriend in late 2007.
All is now forgiven. He apologized, and reportedly sought counselling from civil rights leaders. The network started airing new episodes last year.
Unfortunately, Chapman’s problems don’t end there. The taxman is after him – he owes more than $2 million US in unpaid taxes, says Pacific Business News.
One of his huntin’ partners, Tim Chapman, was recently acquitted of indecent exposure charges.

Coming to Hamilton to preach

He likes to call himself “the greatest bounty hunter in the world.”
Now Duane Lee Chapman, more commonly known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, wants to become the greatest inspirational speaker in the world.
The star of the hit A&E television show is coming to Hamilton Place Saturday, May 30, to tell his story of conversion from a biker’s life-of-crime to born-again Christian, bounty hunter, author and TV celebrity.
For the price of a ticket ($29.50, $39.50 and $49.50), you can hear Dog tell about how he served two years in a Texas prison for his part in a drug-related shotgun killing, before learning the tricks of the bounty hunting trade and bringing some 6,000 bail jumpers and fugitives to justice.
Of course, Dog still gets into trouble. In 2007, his show was suspended when he was caught on tape uttering the N-word several times in a telephone conversation with his son. Dog publicly apologized for his racist language and A&E eventually brought his TV show back to the airways.
Tickets for Dog The Bounty Hunter go on sale at Copps Coliseum box office Friday, or on-line at ticketmaster.ca or by phone at 905-527-7666.

Waiters hand-carried platters of porterhouse cut up pupu style, and got mobbed. “People are hungry,” said server Brandon Lee, carrying a platter picked clean down to the bone. He seemed lucky to escape with his white shirt and bow tie intact. “It’s dangerous back near the bar.”
Actually, the best place to get food was a front table where Dog Chapman sat with state Rep. Tom Brower, attorney Brook Hart and Chapman’s wife Beth, who’s shed some pounds and looked quite nice in a tasteful blue Cache dress, although she did wear a huge pendant that said, “Property of Dog.”
Chapman excused himself to go smoke outside. Since the table was open to the air, I suggested he might smoke right there: “If you get in trouble, Brook can defend you.”

‘Hammertime’ For A&E
11-Episode Series About Rapper, His Family In Production
Mike Reynolds — Multichannel News, 2/18/2009 11:45:16 AM MT
It will soon be Hammertime for A&E.
The network, is currently in production on show tracking the life of rapper/dance MC Hammer, his wife and their family of seven.
A&E has already mined Nielsen success with docuseries about a music celebrity. Gene Simmons Family Jewels, tracking the Kiss bassist, his long-time soft-porn star girlfriend Shannon Tweed and their children, has performed well for the network over the years. The service has also scored well with real-life entry, Dog The Bounty Hunter, the series tracking Duane Chapman and his man-hunting Hawaii brood.
The 11-episode Hammertime is slated to premiere later this year, according to A&E officials. The show is produced for A&E Network by 3 Ball Productions Inc. (Biggest Loser, Beauty and the Geek). J.D Roth, Todd Nelson and MC Hammer are series executive producers. Executive producers for A&E are Robert Sharenow, Scott Lonker and Stephen Harris.
“MC Hammer is an iconic figure in American pop culture but many people only know him for his music and fashion sense, now A&E takes an unprecedented look behind his larger-than-life personality and into his life as a devoted husband, father and business entrepreneur,” said A&E senior vice president, nonfiction and alternative programming Robert Sharenow in a statement. “Hammertime truly captures the intimate, funny and genuine moments that resonate with our viewers and underscore the essence of our brand.”
