Artie is battling several addictions....and winning... Is he gonna fit in the new Soho studio loft? Is there any ladder climbing? no stains on his shirt. that means the picture was taken early in the day before his 10,000 calorie breakfast.
Look closer....I see some stains. (..angles and lighting etc.) It would be funny if Artie was a caring celeb where a crazed publicist had to make threats to get shirt stains removed from certain pictures before publication. Hey...that sounds kind of like something that a certain someone named Stern might try to pull..off. (....dark hair dye stains?....who knew?)
Listening the Nick and Artie show, he sounds like he's back on drugs. Hopefully he doesn't try to hurt himself again.
He really looks like that one guy every town has who drinks fortified wine and talks to pigeons and lives in a Van DOWN BY THE RIVER. Except his gigantic fucking belly blows that theory away.
He's well over 40 years old now, and he's always been prone to being overweight--he was the token fat guy back on MadTV in the 90s. It shouldn't be either a surprise or an issue that he's obese. I don't listen to his radio show, so I can't comment whether he's back on drugs. I hope not. Artie is the type of guy who is going to have a rough life...I just hope he can stay off the drugs and make it past 60.
