Artie Lange Released From Hospital

Spicy — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 21:17:31 +0000

Artie Lange

Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange had been released from the hospital after recovering from a suicide attempt.

Lange was found by his mother last Saturday morning as she stopped by his apartment to bring him food. Lange had stabbed himself multiple times in an apparent suicide attempt. He was in a pool of blood and was going in and out of consciousness.

Luckily Artie survived the suicide attempt.

The clip above is of the Howard Stern Show yesterday morning. Howard and Robin Quivers discuss the situation with heavy hearts, but also a little anger. Howard’s anger stems from the fact that someone leaked the story to Page Six. You can’t blame him. Artie has been a great friend of Stern’s for years. It’s easy to talk about something like this if you don’t personally know the person, but when you do, it’s a very, very touchy, heart wrenching thing to discuss or even comprehend. So I understand where Howard and Robin are coming from.

Wishing nothing but the best for Artie, or for anyone who is in such a dark place.

Artie Lange Suicide: Stabs Himself Nine Times

Artie Lange attempted suicide by stabbing himself nine times

Funnyman Artie Lange stabbed himself nine times in a suicide attempt last weekend.

Lange was hospitalized Saturday after his mother discovered him in his New York apartment. She had stopped by the bring him food and found her son with multiple stab wounds. It’s a good thing she came by because she probably saved his life.

Artie was rushed to the hospital where surgery was performed. Despite losing a large amount of blood doctors were able to save him.

Lange suffered six “hesitation” wounds and three very deep wounds.

This is terribly sad news. I hate to hear of anyone being so down and so depressed that they feel they must end their life – whether he was under the influence, or not. Sadly, suicide runs in my family and I definitely feel for anyone who is haunted by it.

I hope Artie gets some serious mental, physical and addiction help. He needs help in every single aspect of his life.

Get well, Artie. x

Artie Lange Hospitalized – Overdose?

Spicy — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 04:01:15 +0000

Artie Lange

Artie Lange has been hospitalized at an undisclosed hospital in new Jersey.

Lange, a sidekick on the Howard Stern Show, has been missing from the show the past couple weeks. He is known to go on massive cocaine/alcohol binges and I’d be willing to guess that this is the case this time as well. I think Artie is one hell of a comedian but it’s just too bad that he cannot get over his demons. Dude needs to lose some weight as well. If the drugs don’t kill him, the weight will.

Lange’s publicist is trying to keep things under wraps, which probably means Artie overdosed. He released the following statement:

“I can confirm that Artie is in the hospital. Artie has chosen to keep all information on this matter between him and his doctor. There will be no further comment.”

This guy is like a cat. Nine lives is an understatement. Get better soon, Artie – and get your sh*t together, will ya?

Artie Lange First Pitch VIDEO

Spicy — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:24:52 +0000

Artie Lange throws the first pitch at Newark Bears game.

Wow, I’m shocked his fat ass could throw a ball that far. I’m surprised his heart didn’t give out right then and there!

Afterward, Artie probably went into the stalls and chalked himself up a nice, big fat one. No one was there, he probably had the bathroom to himself..

Artie Lange DUI!

Spicy — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:48:27 +0000

Artie Lange was busted for suspicion of DUI Friday afternoon in New Jersey.

My guess is Artie is on another one of his infamous benders.

Lange was arrested around 3:00 PM EST in Toms River after he was involved in a car accident.

This guy is a walking dead man. Seriously, he has admitted to doing outrageous amounts of cocaine and drinking massive quantities of booze for years now. (Although recently he has claimed over and over that he is clean & sober..) He always drives, and yes, sometimes his stories of getting wasted are absolutely hysterical, but in reality, it’s not that funny.

It’s only funny until he kills someone – or himself.

Joe Buck Artie Lange [VIDEOS]

Spicy — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:15:02 +0000

Joe Buck had Artie Lange on the premiere of HBO’s new show, Joe Buck Live.

Lange was his usual self, admitting to homophobia, saying Jessica Simpson is fat and looks like Chris Farley, and laughing that Tony Romo’s name rhymes with “homo”.

Buck spoke with USA TODAY and said the segment seemed to take an eternity.

“I thought that spending time on a treadmill felt long. That was like 8 or 9 minutes that turned into an eternity. You know, it’s cable, you can get away with it. It’s not my style. But, you do one show and you learn and you move on.”

He told reporters he thought Lange had an “agenda” when he came on stage to discuss the intersection of sports and celebrity. He was sorry Lange took time away from actors Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis of SNL. But Buck said there was little he could do to control the invited guest without “kicking him off the set” or hitting a “trap door.” He added, “It’s a thought. A gigantic hook,” said Buck.

A pile of cocaine might have lured him offstage. Heh. Just sayin’…

The people at HBO are fronting like they are also stunned and unhappy with Artie’s appearance, but with all the buzz about it, you know they are secretly smiling.

Standing nearby, HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg said Lange “bordered on bad taste” with his “mean-spirited” tone.

“Look, live television is all about risk-reward. We know who Artie Lange was when he was booked,” said Greenburg. “We knew there was a certain degree of a risk factor in where he would go and where he would take us. I think at the end of the day, we’ll let the public decide. Much the same way the public decided on the appearance of Will Leitch and Buzz Bissinger. … The public will have the last say in what they thought of Artie Lange tonight.”

Are you a fan of Artie’s – or is he a fat rude pig?

Artie Lange Finally Checks in to Rehab

Spicy — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:18:03 +0000

Artie Lange, sidekick on the Howard Stern Show, has checked into intensive outpatient rehab for substance abuse.

Lange, 40, has struggled with narcotic addiction for years and has been to rehab many times before.

It seems he’s back to his old ways.

Last April he walked off the air after having an physical altercation with an assistant and it was thought he may have been using again.

Artie has been very open about his drug use, telling listeners story after story about being drunk to snorting cocaine and heroin.

I hope the guy gets clean, because yeah, he’s funny. But he’s also a fat f***ing loser. His mom still cleans his apartment and brings him food..

He’s just lucky enough to have Howard there to deal with his shit, because not many other employers would put up with him. He’ll eventually end up a nobody, a washed up old comic. Then maybe he’ll realize how good he had it.

Artie Lange Quits Howard Stern

Spicy — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:44:09 +0000

Artie Lange, one of Howard Stern’s sidekicks walked out of the studio yesterday after getting into a fight with his personal assistant on air.

Just before walking out Artie tells the crew, “I’m not a good person. I gotta leave, buddy. I love you.”

Me thinks Artie is boozing and coking it up again. He sounds terrible – without even seeing him. I have to admit though, I haven’t listened to the show in awhile, pretty much since they moved to Sirius, so I don’t know if this is true. But I do know he has a major history with that crap. Regardless, geeze Artie, take a f*cking chill pill.

Anyhow, listen to the drama unfold and judge for yourself.
