Artie Lange Goes To Rehab
Page Six is reporting that Artie has in fact checked himself into rehab over the weekend and canceling all appearances including the Bob Saget roast and the Foxwoods show.
(thank you to “Dingy” for finding the article)
SBG needs to send its support to Artie right now. He is finally doing something about his health and I think its very positive. It is a shame that he wound up going this route but if it helps him manage himself better and be healthier for the future then its all good.
Good Luck Artie! We are all rooting for you!
August 6th, 2008 at 8:15 am
You are in our thoughts Artie, get well buddy and congrats on finally taking the necessary steps to maintain a better life!
August 6th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Good luck with rehab, Artie! Hope you are feeling well again soon…
Funny how Artie was making fun of Shia Labeouf on the show last week and now the two of them are entering rehab at the same time.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:44 am
love ya big lug. get well.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:54 am
You know what, though? I am glad he is going, but 1 week intensive rehad? Does anyone think an abbreviated rehab stay will help such a severe addiction? I do wish him the best, but have my doubts. He needs to go for months.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:34 am
I wonder what was the tipping factor. last week on the show he was falling asleep again….Howard even encouraged him to take a nap (but he refused). Nodding off is a good indicator of the really hard opiates….HORSE.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:37 am
I have to agree with Kamie. Artie mentioned this just a few weeks ago… to kick coke, he had to go to rehab.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Arte, once you beat these demons you will have the energy and strength to conquer the world. I’m rooting for you.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:55 am
I don’t think Artie is on the big “H”…if he is he is the fattest heroin addict i’ve ever seen! If you will remember artie is trying to quit drinking…hopefully he is trying to dry out!
August 6th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Yea Fred, I mentioned this to my husband last night. That is, I thought when you did coke and heroin that you were really thin, but he said that there are other things that really lead him to believe he is on H despite the weight: nodding off, anger, etc. I am kind of naive when it comes to drugs. I smoked pot and that was it.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:12 am
We all wish Artie well and hopefully he will be back on the show next Monday.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Howard, can I sit in on Monday??!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:16 am
no H. hes just abusing the subutex. it doesnt have a cieling like other drugs for addiction. the more you take the higher you get. a week is a fucking joke. for him and his personality a 6 month stay might do the trick….
August 6th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Maybe this is his first step in trying to get Dana back….
August 6th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Anybody who thinks coke and/or heroin abuse immediately causes weight loss should remember two very important words:
David Crosby.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Personally, I figured his stuffy nose was an indicator that he was doing drugs again. He always said he snorted H and not injected it because of a fear of needles.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Hearing about all of the pills he popped at the end of the USO trip was a sure sign of him getting back on something more dangerous.
Good point PancakeRecords, plus Artie other addiction is food……
August 6th, 2008 at 11:13 am
WAAAAAAH! I gotta go to rehab! WAAAAAAAAH!
August 6th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Hey you fat fuck…..take care of yourself. You work on the H, booze and food, and I’ll work on the gambling. You probably saved me a grand from not having to go to foxwoods this weekend. I hope they reschedule that show and not scratch him from the card permanently.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:25 am
The fatboy just needs to go to therapy!
August 6th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
FUCK THAT FAT BASTARD I HOPE HE DIES.
HE IS SO NOT FUNNY
August 6th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Artie:
Good move. You know you will never be clear of all your demons. But the fact you realize where you are is the biggest step in getting better. You are a very loved person that has too much going for him to give it away.
See you on the other side.
Steve
BTW. Good way to sell books.
August 6th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I hope he gets the help he needs . He better come out of this the same funny fat bastard he’s always been .
August 6th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
How many flavors does artie have left? lets not lose this one…
August 6th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I agree with Kamie. They did a Howard 100 report regarding the Page Six item and interviews with the crew wishing Artie good luck in rehab, adding that he would be back to work on Monday. What’s the deal? A week-long stint in rehab won’t fix what’s ailing Artie.
August 6th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
sounds like its just an out-patient detox program, which is not really rehab since he will be home after his body stabilizes
August 6th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Howard is not Artie’s bro
August 6th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
he is addicted to subutex , which can be worst than heroin. the drinking
mixed with that stuff , can be lethal . everyone on that show sucks
including howard . god bless you artie , get better man.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
that’s worse - sorry. and that’s everyone except artie , thanks
August 6th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Artie,
Get Well, bro!.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Good luck buddy, you’re all our bro’s!!! Take Care!!!
August 6th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
WHY WHY WHY will foxwoods not confirm that the show in cancelled???
August 6th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Good Luck Big guy, we need you back to laugh with NOT at!!!
H and Coke, skinny? Anybody remember Chris Farley???
He died doing both.
August 6th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
The Foxwoods Ad is still running on the radio.. LOL. Teddy confirmed, Foxwoods Canceled!
August 6th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Maybe he is planning to relapse at Foxwoods?
August 6th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
I think we are missing the constant comments the last couple of weeks that he was waiting for test results to come back. I think he got the results back and is dealing with the problems.
August 6th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Yeah he’s definitely going to have to add an epilogue to his book now. Artie’s a freakin rock star man. We love you big guy!
Maybe he’s just trying to ween himself off of Hawaiin Punch and cupcake Wednesdays. That would explain why it’s just a week.
August 6th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Good luck Artie, it takes a big man to know when you need someone else’s help
August 6th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
A week of outpatient rehab is not long enough to wean yourself off diet coke, much less heroin/coke/booze/horse tranqs. He needs a month, minimum, inpatient dual-diagnosis (mental heath & addiction) treatment.
Sarah Silverman should sit in for him. While she’s completely overmatched hosting her own comedy show, she might be a breath of fresh air in the ‘Artie’ chair.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Shit! There goes Monday’s show. Two fucking hours of Artie rehab stories. SNORE!!!
August 7th, 2008 at 12:44 am
I think he’s caving in to that whore dana.I wouldn’t be suprised if he gets back together with her.
August 7th, 2008 at 12:47 am
I bet she can’t wait to cunt up his new house and let that fucking dog shit all over his man cave.
August 7th, 2008 at 5:30 am
Everyone blaming Dana, huh?? Did you ever think Stern finally has had enough of his antics and told him to go or else?
August 7th, 2008 at 6:20 am
Who’s laughing now pal? Did I hear “I told ya so”? I’ll expect an apology on Monday
August 7th, 2008 at 7:23 am
I would like to say that the Post article had one the MOST flattering pictures of Artie…Hell, who am I kidding, the only way to take a flattering pic of the baby gorilla is to leave the lense cap on….
Get well soon Artie….
Crow T Robot
August 7th, 2008 at 7:30 am
Brownster, it’s possible, but Howard doesn’t usually care about anyone’s health or behavior if it’s good fodder for the show. He’s probably be happy if Artie died on the air.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:19 am
What’s even funnier about the Post article is that the second half of it was about Shia LeBoeuf, and we all know how much Artie looooves Shia LeBoeuf!
Artie didn’t even get the whole posting…
August 7th, 2008 at 9:05 am
hahahaha I noticed that too Fink. But come on!! a week long rehab? I’m not buying it.
August 7th, 2008 at 11:07 am
So I guess he was usin something again, or maybe its a food rehab center, or booze or something, who the fuck knows lol. Get well Art.
August 7th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Here’s a shocker…..Foxwoods just called and said the show is cancelled. I think they were holding out hoping that it would somehow happen.
I’m thinking more and more that this was in intervention with family and co-workers. Watching the latest daily shows on HTV you can really see what a mess Artie’s been since returning from the USO trip especially. The nodding out and slurring is not the result of coming down from a cupcake and Hawaiian Punch buzz.
Wishing you the best you big tub o’ shit…..Get yourself together and make me laugh already.
August 7th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
2 hours of rehab, 1 hour of Favre talk. Reaching for the straight razor and swabbing my wrist with alcohol…
August 7th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
*first hands Mikey his razor*
You can do it Artie, we love you and all pulling for you. Please don’t die.
xo♥xo
August 7th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Please Howard, let me sit in on Monday…..or once Artie OD’s!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
August 7th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
I can see why Artie needs to numb his pain with drugs, booze and cupcakes. I mean a four-day workweek is strenuous. And, Howard NEVER takes a vacation. I mean the last time they were off for a week was a few weeks ago. That is way too long. Do you guys know how stressful multimillion-dollar beachfront property can be? And, he has to drive down there in a Mercedes. That is not easy with gas prices the way they are and how good could the climate control be? Plus, during the week he is cooped up in luxury apartment with an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline. That’s rough. When he wants to get drunk, he is needs to force down glasses of Johnnie Walker Blue. Eeeeeewwww, that only costs like 200 bucks a bottle. Oh the horror! WAAAAAAAAAA! Dude, get on the couch. You need it. Your dad is proud of you - you need to learn that.
August 7th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Hey you big Gindaloon we’re all praying for you and look forward to your return to the show, it is.
August 7th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
baskin robbins called.. they’re down to four flavors!
August 7th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Artie,
Take care of yourself you I-tai galloot. Hope this starts you on going to a head shrinker so you get turn your life in the right direction - get in shape, a healthy relationship, low sugar Hawaiian punch…the important things.
Everybody love you man!
MW
August 7th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
My Artie,
You musta feela better. Take cara yoself. Grandma caprio loves you.
August 7th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Well…Well…Well…..Little Lord Fat Fuck’s body is close to giving out. Surpise…Surpise! Let the betting begin…..I have December 27, 2008 that Fat Fuck breeches the 400lb mark! Everyone gains huge amounts of weight in Rehab! Good Luck and Good Betting
August 7th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
You guys make some great points. Sadly, I think Eric the Midget has a higher self esteem than Artie. I’ve always been very anti-therapy myself, but hell it sounds like Art may really need it. I guess if two of my heroes, Howard Stern and Tony Soprano, can sit in a shrink’s chair, then Arthur Cornelious Lange can do it as well.
And why is everyone dreading rehab stories? I think Artie’s a great storyteller. You can’t help but laugh even after hearing the same story for the 3rd time. And you know Howie will funny it up if need be. More Artie = Less Robin, and that’s ok in my book.
August 7th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Artie’s stories are always great, I’m looking forward to Monday so we can find out what exactly went down.
I miss Grandma Caprio, so funny when Howard used to do the voice…
August 7th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Hey, alot of people give advice when they don’t know what they’re talking about…I myself am a addict who has been thru hell with this..That said, I don’t know everything, but it puts a focus on that u have 2 learn the hard way, and if u don’t know…go get high on some body altering drug that makes u sick when u try to stay sober…Who wants to b sick?..TO ARTIE ALL I COULD SAY IS TAKE CARE OF U…I knew there were big probs with Artie nodding off and mumbling and this can be a big inspiration to alot of people…God Bless and best wishes/prayers…..
August 7th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
We all love you, Artie. Take care and get well!
August 7th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
this has been overstated, but…. GET THE FUCK BETTER ARTIE! The show will not be the same without ya!
August 8th, 2008 at 7:02 am
143 Artie
August 8th, 2008 at 10:09 am
I’m so sick of this lazy drug addict. The fat jerk has the world by the balls. If the lazy bastard worked for me, I’d fire his irresponsible ass. There are a lot funnier people out there that would love to step into that job. And I’m sure would do it better.
Just committ suicide already and end it.
August 8th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Sick-of-artie is so sick of Artie that he spends his free time reading and commenting on Artie Lange fan sites.
August 9th, 2008 at 12:07 am
Laughter is the validation for a comedian living with that slightly-bent, creative mind and when he meshes with the others in the studio, or on the phone it gives him the “connection” he’s been needing in his life with another human being - and it’s what keeps us addicted to him! All of the explosive moments Artie’s had over the past two years were built-up emotions that he didn’t have an outlet for at home. Yes, some call him self-destructive - I prefer to see him as seeking the true meaning of his life by boucing off others until he feels a real connection that makes him feel complete. I wish Artie all the best - prayers and hugs from Texas!
Love ya’!
August 9th, 2008 at 12:37 am
shoulda said “no, no, no” you fuck.
August 9th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
TOLD YA SO!!!! WHO HAS THE LAST LAUGH NOW……..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
August 10th, 2008 at 12:13 am
We all love Artie and it’s too fun to goof on him but he’s gotta do SOMETHING to get his shit together. ARTIE, PLEASE don’t go the John Bulushi route!! We love you too much!! Call me!!
August 10th, 2008 at 2:02 am
The truth is artie loves the “out of control-booze and heroin addict” image he created.He likes the attention and enjoys playing the role of the tragic misguided artistic bad boy who no one can save or understand and will stretch the limits of how much people really love him by dangling his feet over the edge and then wait for the barrage of “don’t do it artie! we love you!”s’.He is still a baby.A baby gorrilla..WHAAAA!
August 10th, 2008 at 2:06 am
RIP Big Mac
August 10th, 2008 at 2:37 am
Artie, you have know idea how many people you have helped by talking about your addiction. God Bless You and your family.I know that He who saves one life saves the world. Just think of all the great new matterial you can get out of this. Get well. Your friends in the NYPD.
August 10th, 2008 at 4:10 am
I will be back on the show Monday morning.
You might be surprised to hear why I am actually in rehab.
After listening back to my on-air battle with that guy from Pittsburgh, I realized I was out of touch with the Howard Stern audience.
I owe that guy a favor.
Sorry Pete.
You were right.
Artie L.
August 10th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Ahtee,
Nobody’s surprised, just happy you want to get well. Marry Dana and tolerate the canine. Your comedy will bloom.
No matter what — NEVER JUST GIVE UP.
August 10th, 2008 at 11:51 am
Good luck and God Bless you Artie. Best of luck in Rehab. And I Agree with Blandini. 143 Baby. PS. Can’t wait for the Book.
August 11th, 2008 at 4:07 am
Artie,
Do what you have to get just well enough to live abit longer, spend your money, enjoy yourself and then you can die.
