Dan Gross | Bonaduce to (c'mon!) get naked?

WILL BROOMALL-born Danny Bonaduce pose nude in the March issue of Penthouse? TMZ.com says he'll do so to redeem his manhood after pics recently surfaced online of the "Partridge Family" actor's baby bird taken when he stripped naked last month at San Francisco's Erotic Ball. Bonaduce, as we reported Tuesday, will be at the Marple Sports Arena Jan. 19 to fight an as-yet-undetermined challenger, in a bout promoted by - who else? - Damon Feldman.

TMZ.com says he'll do so to redeem his manhood after pics recently surfaced online of the "Partridge Family" actor's baby bird taken when he stripped naked last month at San Francisco's Erotic Ball. Bonaduce, as we reported Tuesday, will be at the Marple Sports Arena Jan. 19 to fight an as-yet-undetermined challenger, in a bout promoted by - who else? - Damon Feldman.

Interested contenders can sign up at Oasis Gentlemen's Club (6800 Essington) from 2 to 4 p.m. tomorrow. A Penthouse spokeswoman says Bonaduce was interviewed for the March Pet of the Year issue, but as for whether he'll be seen nude, she replied, "The issue hits the newsstands on February 19th, so time will tell . . . "

We were unable to reach Bonaduce by phone last night.
