Frank the Entertainer's Dad Dies at 62

Incredibly, devastatingly horrible news: after a battle with pancreatic cancer, Gary Maresca died yesterday at the age of 62. Gary is best known for his time on Frank the Entertainer in A Basement Affair, on which he advised his son alongside his wife, Susan. Gary leaves behind Susan and five children, including Frank and Sal, who were also on the show. We’ll be hearing more from the Maresca family in the coming days. In the meantime, the family requests that those interested in sending flowers instead donate money to theLustgarten Foundation, which is devoted research of and finding a cure for pancreatic cancer.

I only spoke to Gary briefly, but way before that even, his love for his wife and children was evident. He really rooted for Frank, and I could tell that he got a kick out of Frank’s time on reality TV. Gary was sick for a while, but it always struck me as special that he was able to see Frank get his own show, and participate in it. I know that he was proud.

Here’s what he told me in March when I asked him about filming a show while sick:

“I always would have liked to have been in this kind of atmosphere and get a chance to get on television, and because of Frank I got my chance. Even as a kid, it was something that I dreamed to do, but when the time came, I was thinking of not even doing it and just letting my wife go. She didn’t want to leave me home alone because I really wasn’t in shape to stay here alone. The producers were really nice to me, but I still felt obligated there. I’m not sorry I did it, though. For my children, all my children, my wife and I have sacrificed. The only thing in my legacy when I’m gone is that I’ve always been a good family man. I love Frankie.”

Celebrity fit Club Bootcamp "Sebestian Bach" Arrested

According to Peterborough, Ontario, law enforcement, Bach and his buddies were throwing some back at Riley's Old Towne Pub when an altercation erupted between Bach and a member of the bar's staff. Things took a turn for the physical when Bach was told that he could not leave the premises with his wine glass. In true "Youth Gone Wild" fashion, Bach chucked the glass at the front door.

Police arrived at the scene, but it was too late. In trying to restrain the blond behemoth, a bar employee was bitten on his left hand. Police found a rather puny amount (1.95 grams) of marijuana in Bach's possession.

Bach has been charged with assault, mischief and possession of a controlled substance. He was expected to appear in court on Monday.

VH1 Story Tellers T.I Airs December 10th 2010

Just three days following the debut of his 7th album titled No Mercy, VH1 will premiere T.I.’s very own VH1 Storytellers special.  Taped at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom, the event features tracks from his newest album No Mercy as well as hits from his critically acclaimed releases including, I’m Serious (“Still Ain’t Forgave Myself”), King (“Live in the Sky”), Urban Legend (“Motivation,” “Bring Em Out”) and Trap Muzik (“Rubber Band Man,” “I Still Luv You”).  VH1 Storytellers: T.I ., will air on Friday, December 10th at 11/10C on VH1.

Following in the VH1 Storytellers format, T.I. answered fan questions and talked about redemption, accepting responsibility for past decisions and finding his way through troubled times.  T.I. confessed, “Even when I lose faith in myself there is something in me that speaks through and says I am not finished yet.” Viewers will gain a unique opportunity to hear T.I. share his stories and the inspirations behind each song. One example came later in the show during one of his most poignant songs, “Live in the Sky” where he opened up about the subject of the song by saying, “Before I could make my way to real success my cousin found himself in a situation and he took the bad end of a gun and lost his life in the same house as his 3-year-old son and his wife. That just hit me real hard and for him to have had as big of a part in the beginning of my career and not be there to see it turn into what it has turned into today opened up a lot feelings and emotions to me that I just had to put into music.”
