Regis Philbin's Son Is Broke And Blogging
Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True > Etc.
Is Regis Philbin a Scrooge and his financially struggling son a regular blogger?
According to reports, Philbin's son from his first marriage, Dan, suffers from a spinal cord defect that later required the amputation of his legs, making him wheelchair bound.
Really?????
After leaving his job at the Pentagon, Dan's been unemployed for the past three years, and he and his family can barely survive. Apparently, Daddy Philbin is not very generous with his moolah because Dan's wife took to the National Enquirer (real classy) to reach out to Regis for help.
Michael Lohan would be proud!
According to Dan's wife, Judy, Regis' son is too proud to ask for help, so maybe Regis isn't even aware of the extent of his son's needs.
“Our finances have gotten so bad we had to file for debt consolidation, and we barely have enough money to eat. Sometimes we have to borrow money from friends to buy food!” Judy Philbin told The Enquirer.
“To make ends meet, Danny has taken odd jobs. He worked for a while at a bookstore and more recently, he’s been working 12-hour days making decorated light switch covers to sell at weekend craft fairs.
“But at this point, we don’t even have enough money to pay the $70 fee for a booth at a craft fair!”
Judy is appealing to her famous father-in-law through The Enquirer because she says: “Danny is too afraid to ask his father for help.”
Maddox, are you out there?
Is this your future????

Re: NANKOTT – You don't just go to a 12-step program for Sacral Agenesis. You are "sure" about what you are saying? Do we know each other? Did you sing back-up in a band with my sister? You are sure of nothing. You talk a lot, though. That's usually the combo. You and my dad should hang out.
Re: NANKOTT – Something about you doesn't sit right with me. I may know you somehow. I may not, but there is something there. Whomever you are, "pissed it away on bad investments, business ventures or drugs," that's not very nice. But, here we go again, I'm busted - I did all the savings and loan bailouts, bought acres of poppy fields in Afghanistan, and my idea for a cat polisher didn't work out so well - what're you gonna do? I hope you die soon. Happy New Year. Call again when you get a clue.
Dan- Real nice wishing me to die. I do not know you nor have I ever met you. I just wrote my opinion. I harbor no ill feelings toward you. I do not know how hard your life has been and I would not wish it on my worst enemy. However, I have been in your position where I had to ask a divorced parent for money when my husband lost his job, and the money came with conditions. It was hard enough to ask for the money but to explain where the money was going was worse. My issue is you and your wife going public with a family matter.
Re: NANKOTT – This stuff re my father's generosity toward his first family is legendary, but people llike you don't are and you know nothing of what's going on. About going public, you have no idea the machinations of this. We did not call them, the Enquierer called us after a story in my local paper ran about my inability to get into a building where I went to apply for a job. You know so little about this, you really should get some real information. Food and prescription medicines are essential, sorry you don't care. Going public with "a family matter." Your problem with what you went through has NOTHING to do with what is going on. Your opinion has been fun. I think you were sent here to defend the indefensible, I hope I am wrong. You have NEVER been in my position. You have no idea what my life is or has been like for 43 years. You do not know how many times I have been in an operating room; who do you think was there when I came from the Recovery Room, it wasn't my dad. Thank you for your opinion, I really don't require your presence on this planet, please apply for astronaut training ASAP. Regis Philbin is a public figure who screwed his first family. Keep watching the show, as for how much to keep his name out of the Enquierer, I do not work for them, really, you should call them about pay scales, bribes, whatever. Ignorant grub.
This guy sounds like a crybaby. "My dad likes his second family better" Why don't you go ask Mike & JJ maybe they can loan you some money - Oh wait you don't want a loan, you want a hand out.
lilabakkeishot, there's no other way to say this…. YOU'RE A SCUM BAG!!!
Danny and his sister have been emotionally and financially dissed by their multimillion dollar "father" and that's gotta hurt. Danny isn't looking for a handout, he's trying to SURVIVE!!! Unfortunately, times are tough and even
tougher for the disabled. If you were starving and without your meds, I'm sure you would take a "handout" from your father.
Re: lilabakkeishot – Ooh, good one! I don't need Mike and JJ to lend me any money. What do they have anything to do with this. Using the name of my ex-wife was a nice touch. I don't want a h"and-out;" we asked for some help — once, the nerve. You know nothing of this issue, you obviously know something of me as you used my ex-wifes name in your screenname. You are just pitiful.
Re: lilabakkeishot – "Mike and JJ" are you their friend? They have nothing to do with this. I don't need a "hand-out." Whomever sent you with this pathetic message is using you as a stooge - and succeeding. Does it feel good to be a jerk? I mean, you are an expert and all…
Re: lilabakkeishot – it's true, though, that he prefers his second family - I wish them luck.

Re: lilabakkeishot – I just want to remind you of the fact that I hate you; If you are so scary - use your real name, and throw in where Judy and I can meet you for appetizers.
