Normally when I write about Andy Dick it’s because he just got arrested, was photographed snorting blow in a club, or is a drunk mess, roaming the streets of Hollywood.
But this time that isn’t the case.
Dick, who is on the VH1 celeb-reality show, Sober House, is trying to clean up his act for the tenth time. Yes, you heard me right. This is his tenth rehab stint.
If you have seen the show, you’ll see that Andy is not the selfish, loud, jackass that we all know. Actually, when he is sober he seems like quite a likable guy. I agree wholeheartedly with Kimmel who said it best, “You know, I have to say, I don’t know if there is anyone in my life that I like more when they’re sober – and less when they’re not, than you.”
I have never been a fan of Dick’s, especially after seeing him act like a drunk asshole over and over again. That, and the fact that Dick might have been responsible for getting Phil Hartman’s wife hooked back on cocaine before brutally murdering her husband and then herself, I couldn’t help but detest the guy. I mean, if Jon Lovitz hates you, you must be a prick.
But Sober House has shown Andy’s softer, vulnerable side. And hey, I guess everyone deserves a second, or tenth, chance.
I hope Andy stays clean and sober. I too, thought he was a little too off the wall, but he seems sincere this time. I really think he and possibly Rodney King will stay sober. Brigitte Nielsen of Celebrity Rehab 1 has remained sober too. Jeff Conaway, Seth Binzer and Steven Adler will never learn. It is a good show to watch.
I hope he can stay sober as well. I could not stand him the way he was before. The way he behaved on his reality tv show, the one where he searched for a PA, he behaved like a real jerk. I hope he was under the influence then otherwise, I doubt I will like him any better now. Good Luck Andy, looking forward to seeing the real Andy Dick on tv or big screen.
