Tobes, I'm Thinkin' We'd Make A Great Buddy/Cop Movie Duo

Douglas Reinhardt · 04/21/08 04:15PM


Musician/actor Jim Belushi spent a majority of the Lakers' playoff game yesterday pitching Tobey Maguire various projects that Belushi has been developing. Belushi first pitched Maguire on a reboot of the K-9 franchise, which was followed quickly by a project where Maguire would be a cop from a foreign country and Belushi is a cop from LA and they have to team up to solve a major international crime. Belushi noticed that Maguire's attention was fading, so Belushi pulled out what he thought was his trump card, a project about a wacky married guy and his equally as wacky uncle trying to figure women out. Maguire paused for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry, you were saying something?"

Who can truly claim to know the ultimate origin of David Cross's hatred of Jim Belushi? Is it one comic's disdain for another's hackery? Does Cross feel it necessary to defend the deceased John Belushi's comedic legacy from his brother Jim's tomb raiding? Or is it just a specious vendetta created for the sake of awkward tragic theater? In any case, enjoy the above clip of Cross crashing the stage during a set by Jim Belushi's Blues Brothers rip-off band. Cross's nimble little douche-dance and gaping grin pretty much say it all.

Catwoman-Belushi Feud Ends

Seth Abramovitch · 01/11/06 06:21PM

Perhaps the greatest celebrity neighbor feud of our generation, between an overweight, wisecracking ABC sitcom dad (Jim Belushi, we think), and one of the aging actresses who played Catwoman on the 1960s Batman TV series (Julie Newmar, but again, don't quote us) has finally come to a happy, made-in-Hollywood ending:
