Vote Now in the High-Stakes Hollywood Joker-Alike Contest
After her latest round of plastic surgery, Joan Rivers has once again sparked concern that her postmodern facial sculpting has perhaps gone one operation too far. "My motto is, 'Better a new face coming out of an old car than an old face coming out of a new car.' Spend your money on you," the Daily Mail quotes her as saying, but clearly the stakes have soared beyond self-service satisfaction: Rivers is but the latest boldface name to join the increasingly cutthroat Joker-Alike 2008 competition, in which grinning celebrities and their psychotic celluloid doppelgangers square off for ear-to-ear supremacy. Have a closer look at the finalists — and vote for a (or nominate your own) winner after the jump. More » -

Andy Dick Will Not Stand For These Charges, Or For Peeing
And now, another installment of "You Win One, You Lose One" (Andy Dick edition)! Win: The troubled comedian, who was accused of sexual battery for pulling down a 17-year-old girl's top at a chicken joint in July, has now seen his charge downgraded to a mere assault (though he'll still face four other misdemeanor charges related to the incident). Lose: According to TMZ, the arrest report for the incident includes the following unforgettable anecdote: More » -

The Gawker Wasted 20
It's shaping up as a cruel summer for drunk, high or otherwise messed up celebrities trying to stay on the straight and narrow. Comedian Andy Dick was arrested this week for groping a 17-year-old's breasts while in possession of marijuana and Valium, in something of a reprise of his bust last year for doing blow in a nightclub. Actress and teen rehab veteran Drew Barrymore is now reported to have boozed her way to a breakup with actor Justin Long. Heather Locklear fled "depression and anxiety" rehab in Arizona after barely two weeks. Even a Rolling Stone, Ronnie Wood, surrendered himself to rehab again after leaving his wife for a 19-year-old cocktail waitress — and two bottles of vodka per day. Maybe all that summer daylight is pushing everyone over the edge! In any case, it's tough to keep track of who's where on the customary arc of high-profile substance abuse: embarrassment, criminality, rock-bottom desperation, rehabilitation and then either another trip around the circle or a break into the freedom of sobriety. That's why we've compiled a guide to once and future inebriated celebrities: 20 actors, singers, models and socialites who hog way more than their fair share of space in the gossip pages — and here on Gawker. We'll update and expand this list over time as a sort of encyclopedia of shame; your comments and tips are encouraged. (The arrows, by the way, indicate trends in drunkenness, so an upward arrow means getting drunker, downward means getting more sober.)

The Spot Where Andy Dick Filled Up On Beer And Wings Before His Teen-Fondling Arrest: Revealed!
If you are anything like us, when you first learned of Andy Dick's arrest outside Buffalo Wild Wings in Murrieta early this morning, your first reaction was this: "Buffalo Wild Wings?" followed shortly thereafter by, "Murrieta?" Thankfully, this KCAL report filed from the scene of the alleged teen-fondling crime fills in all the missing pieces. SEE! The depressing cookie-cutter suburban shopping center parking lot! HEAR! The reporter describe Dick as "intoxicated" and having "urinated." THRILL! To the Buffalo Wild Wings patio furniture.

Andy Dick Arrested For Finger-Lickin' Fondling

Andy Dick's Paparazzi Victim Listed In Stable Condition In Cedars-Sinai Bite Unit
Comedian and provocateur-about-town Andy Dick is certainly no stranger to the consequences of failing to respect personal boundaries, having in the recent past been forcibly escorted off the Jimmy Kimmel Live set for repeatedly attempting to caress a Trump Thigh (not Donald's—but no scenario is entirely out of the realm of possibility for the lusty pansexualist), as well as having received a vigorous beat-down from an incensed Jon Lovitz, a pummeling lovingly dedicated to the memory of Phil Hartman. But when one of TMZ's camera-equipped henchmen approached Andy for comment during a rare moment of vulnerability—he had just seconds before been deemed too pants-deficient by the Guardians of the Velvet Rope stationed outside club Opera for entry—the tables upon which his harem of leggy escorts were intended to dance the night away were turned. Ignoring the fervent pleas of his skanktourage to leave the photographer alone, a mouth-foaming Dick chased his target down the Walk of Fame. It's a terrifying pursuit that was caught on tape, making it a rare and valuable resource for emergency response technicians hoping to be more prepared in the inevitable event of future Dick attacks.

In His Own Words: Jon Lovitz On How He Pummeled Andy Dick
Earlier today, we noted Page Six's item on how Laugh Factory regular Jon Lovitz, Hollywood's unlikliest comedy vigilante, exacted vengeance upon renegade exhibitionist Andy Dick for placing Lovitz under a highly inappropriate "Phil Hartman death-hex." Shortly after the story circulated, Lovitz appeared on SNL buddy Dennis Miller's radio show to explain the events that precipitated this now-famous beatdown; while most of the details were reported by Page Six, there's nothing like hearing the man himself marvel at the discovery of his previously untapped powers of destruction: More » -

How Bad Did Jon Lovitz Really Beat Andy Dick?
Today's Page Six was downright Tarantinian in its descriptions of Jon Lovitz's attack on Andy Dick last week: "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose," said the owner of the Laugh Factory. But hark! Last night, there was Andy Dick on University Place, right by Washington Square Park, says a spy. SO HOW WAS HIS MANGLED FACE? "It looked fine, actually," reports the Dick-watcher. "I was just reading that bit of gossip and wondering why he didn't have a bruised face myself. I'm positive it was him though." Hmm. Maybe Andy Dick is a mutant with super-fast face-healing powers? "This all makes spotting Andy Dick a lot more interesting than it would otherwise be, frankly," said our gawker. Apparently Jon Lovitz doesn't have a MySpace or whatever so we won't find out the truth for a while. -

Jon Lovitz vs. Andy Dick: The Laugh Factory Beat-Down
It seemed inevitable that Andy Dick, notorious crosser of personal boundaries, public stroker of real-estate heiresses, and lusty biter of cocaine-deficient reporters, would eventually catch a beat-down as those weary of his antics were pushed over the edge by one too many unbidden tongue-baths. According to Page Six, that reprisal finally came last week at the Laugh Factory from the unlikiest of sources: Jon Lovitz, no one's idea of a head-smashing enforcer, who was none too pleased at being on the receiving end of a Dick death-hex: More » -

Andy Dick TV Appearance Refreshingly Bite-Free
Pansexual performance artist Andy Dick seems to be making progress on his well-publicized problems with respecting other people's personal boundaries; while he was forcibly ejected from Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday night for his insistence on stroking nepotism-enabled Apprentice arbiter Ivanka Trump's thigh (the Greatest, Most Supple Thigh In the World, according to her proud, hyperbole-prone father), at no point did he try to lick her face (or her c—-), bite her hand, or call her a fucking cokewhore for resisting his unwelcome advances. If Dick continues to show such restraint, talk show bookers finally might be able to forgo hiring a taser-wielding "talent handler" for the comedian's future appearances. More » -

Today, however, Dick-victimized NY Post reporter Mandy Stadtmiller has posted a painstakingly transcribed account of the entire ordeal to supplement the excerpts she put up on her blog earlier in the week, revealing levels of chemically induced crazy previously only hinted at.

Andy Dick Is Not Ashamed Of His Feelings For Bar Fights
Some men—lesser men, weaker men, men with steady day jobs—are content to share their feelings about significant relationships in their lives in the pages of national publications like the NY Times or Time. But other men must find different means of expression to convey the intensity of their emotions. Andy Dick is one of these men. According to TMZ.com, the inhibition-free actor transformed his entire being into kinetic poetry during a bar fight with the producer of his new movie, with each intoxicated push and crapulent shove a more perfect declaration of his amazing fervor for alcohol-induced brawls. Words, we've always found, are for pussies. More » -
