Northeast/Trenton-raised Leo Rossi is producing and co-starring in the picture, written by Jason Noto and directed by James Quattrochi. Luke has slimmed down considerably recently, but has not been able to work out for a few weeks due to surgery on a deviated septum. Luke, who has appeared in "10th & Wolf," and "Invincible," has a background in boxing and karate and feels he'll be able to pull off playing fighter Joey "The Nail" Nardone, who is trying to rebuild his life after being released from prison.

Rossi, who plays Luke's trainer in the film, just produced "Wisegal," a Lifetime original movie that stars Alyssa Milano and James Caan. It airs at 9 tonight. Rossi worked with Milano in "Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story," a 1993 television movie.

Danny Bonaduce was with girlfriend Amy Railsback at O.N.E. (19th & Sansom streets) Saturday night after Bonaduce's victory over Steve Kwasnik at Celebrity Boxing 2 at the Broomall Sports Arena. There, Phil Margera, father of "Jackass" star Bam Margera, who was there to cheer on his pop, won a decision against Charles Gregory, who filled in last minute for a 6-foot-8 wrestler whom Margera had no chance of defeating. 94 WYSP's Kidd Chris served as referee of Bonaduce's fight. WWF legend Rowdy Roddy Piper and Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster on "The Munsters," were in the crowd as were Kidd Chris and "Howard Stern Show" regular the Rev. Bob Levy. Levy and Bonaduce, we're told, may have gotten into a pre-fight dust-up of their own in the dressing room.

Bonaduce defeated Wired 96.5's Justice in January in a highly contested decision. The two agreed to a rematch, but that never materialized.

Debate now on ABC, not CBS

The April 16 debate between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the National Constitution Center was initially to be moderated by CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric and broadcast on CBS, as we reported in January. U.S. Rep. Bob Brady last month became involved in the planning of the debate, which is now to be carried by ABC and moderated by Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. The Constitution Center, which has an ongoing media partnership with CBS 3, declined comment on why the debate's network was changed. Couric is supposed to moderate a possible debate in April in North Carolina.
