That picture isnt my main man Dirk Benedict....come one.

How much is Dirk Benedict getting paid for the appearance? According to http://www.sclubmedia.net/ Jan 6th Story, Jo O Meara from S Club 7 is getting UKĀ£50,000, Dirk must be getting more than that.

I just put the stuff back in about his dislike of the democrates (the comments he made on BB). I thought they were important and interesting

It surely is interesting. Not often do you see people in the entertainment world having conservative values unless they are non Christians like Jermaine Jackson and Shilpa Shetty. Coming to think of it all of these 3 with conservative values were finalists on the BB show.

Did he really marry Shilpa?

[edit] Health

I have hidden the following:

Benedict was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1974. The medical doctors recommended surgery, but he claimed to have cured his cancer through a macrobiotic diet recommended by Gloria Swanson, exercise and fasting, over a period of 3 years under the guidance of Michio Kushi according to his book Confessions Of A Kamikaze Cowboy. He continues the diet to this day.

Note: Dirk Benedict, by his own admission, was never diagnosed with prostate cancer by a medical doctor, but by a psychic doctor from Italy who worked with the negative of a certain model Polaroid only, which he claimed delivered the person's aura. Dirk, at 28, would have been nearly unique in the medical world if he did have prostate cancer, which typically does not present until decades later in life. Please read more in his autobiography.

Until it can be sourced and verified. Rockpocket 18:22, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
