Attack me if you dare, I will crush you reports that Jon Lovitz bashed Andy Dick's head in during an encounter at the Laugh Factory last weekend. None of our commentary can possibly top Lovitz's explanation:
Lovitz and Dick have been at loggerheads since a
1997 Christmas party at [late comedian Phil] Hartman's house, five months before his
troubled wife Brynn flipped out, fatally shooting Hartman, then killing
herself. "Andy was doing cocaine, and he gave Brynn some after she had
been sober for 10 years. Phil was furious about it - and then five
months later he's dead," said Lovitz, adding that when he filled in on
Hartman's "Newsradio" sitcom, "I told Andy, 'I wouldn't be here now if
you hadn't given Brynn that cocaine.' "
If that's true, then just wow. Lovitz also said that his fellow comics are glad he did it.
Here's a
Simpsons/
Critic crossover in Lovitz's honor:
