Ben, what is your thoughts on the Casey Anthony trial? I am surprised what people are getting away with for hardships! Although, a two month trial….no wonder Judge Perry offered to get the homeless, when the defense is quibbling over diversity on the jury, and most jurors are being let go due to “hardship”. A guy with 7 dogs, yes let him go. Caretakers, single moms, People cannot afford to give up two months if only paid $30 per day. This is being handled with kid gloves, I applaud the judge.
you should look up steven from the showtime show gigalos. he looks EXACTLY LIKE YOU
Ben looks AND sounds like Steven.
I SAID THIS TO HIM!!!!
Ben is way hotter than that weird dude.
Ben, I had no idea that you were behind TVgasm!! LOVE that site. Too funny. Hope you are having a fabulous Holiday weekend.

Your Welcome,

I really love your re-caps of the RHOBH, they make my day
Where the heck have you been lately?
Ben, I saw your video with the infant with ear pain that sat in from to you on a plane ride. Are you aware that small children and infant ear canals fill with unbearable pressure when there is fluid in their tiny ear canals? A relatable pain would be to dive down to 25 feet in water with no pressure adjustment. Just a thought as I watched you roll your eyes and think of poor Ben.
Ben, just wondering if you’d consider having me on as a guest on one of your next podcasts? email me!

Maybe you can’t afford me. I do charge $50/hr for guest appearances.
you may have to sell an obscure 1990s toy or action hero(?)

Ben – a few months back you talked about a great tailor on the West Side of LA. I need a good tailor and tried to find him but may have misunderstood his name. How can I find him please? I really enjoy you podcasts and I miss Lisa. Thanks. Joan Early
This is a very good tip especially to those fresh to the blogosphere.
Simple but very precise info… Many thanks for sharing this
one. A must read post!
My name is Randi and I’m a producer with a New York City production company. We are casting this new and exciting show about awkward celebrity encounters! I am looking for fun and outgoing personalities who have had a run in with a celebrity that maybe got a little interesting.
Example: You were running at the gym next to Jennifer Lawrence and she started talking to you which caught you completely off guard and you fell off the treadmill or you got stuck in an elevator with NeNe Leakes for a really long time and things went awry!
I was wondering if I could send you our flyer and maybe you can pass it along to people that would be interested? Maybe you have a friend or family member that has had a similar encounter? We are casting quickly so the sooner we hear from people that better! Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Best,
Randi Rosenthal
