[edit] Radio Bam controversy
On December 26, 2005, Novak arranged to engage in sexual activities with two North Philadelphia hookers on Bam's SIRIUS Satellite Radio show Radio Bam. SIRIUS got wind of the plan and cut the show off early. To this day Radio Bam is still the only show to ever be abruptly taken off the air by SIRIUS.[citation needed]
[edit] Other Projects
Brandon is currently working on a book and movie called The Dream Seller which are based on his life and experiences with heroin in Baltimore. The book is being co-written with Joseph Frantz. Bam Margera is the director and producer of the film and will also star as Novak. The movie is currently in production.
[edit] Battles with drug abuse
When Novak was 14 he was offered a skating contract by Tony Hawk, but lost his opportunity due to what he says was a long bout with psychoactive substance abuse. Novak has admitted to being a former heroin user and was clean for almost four years from 2003 to 2007. [1] As seen in the bonus features in Haggard he has a tattoo on his stomach that says "No More Fucking Heroin." On the January 23, 2006 episode of Radio Bam on SIRIUS Satellite Radio and again on the April 3, 2006 episode, Novak was absent from the show while he attended rehab for addiction to pills.
HIM lead singer Ville Valo has said that Novak is the muse of the HIM song "Killing Loneliness." Valo has said that the title refers to the reason Brandon Novak used heroin, "to kill the loneliness."[citation needed]
His best-friend Bam Margera recently claimed on Radio Bam that Novak relapsed in March 2007 and was seeking treatment in a rehabilitation clinic. and Bam's brother Jess had this to say on March 16, 2007. hes back on heroin! he broke both his feet and now hes just fucked
