Connolly vs. The Bandarazzi: Who's the Douche?

31. They are not kids, they are a band, trying to self-promote themselves by getting as many celebs to appear in their video as positive. They posted around post 15 with their myspace and band website. Kevin Connolly has obviously seen them around town, because he tells them to "get a new bit".

32. wow- you guys like to throw around insults here

Well, obviously you are too stupid to figure out the reference of telling someone that it is past there bedtime. Your comments in your post refer to your opinion, as do mine, but yet, I am not allowed to post, but you are. If your husband is just like him, well, that's your problem. You married him, you live with it. Oh and by the way, it is Spurs, not Spud. Sorry my spelling wasn't as perfect as you think it should have been. I shall try to aspire to be as perfect as you. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

34. What a prick. This man makes in a year more than most of us make in a lifetime for little more than memorizing a few pages of dialog. All we can do is sit back and watch him crash and burn. I have watch generation after generation of YOUNG HOLLYWOOD and they NEVER realize they have a career lifespan of maybe five years max. He's on about year three now.

35. Marianne Chitter Chatter- Can you read?

The band themselves say in comment #32 that Kevin Connolly is pretty awesome and spent time with them after the video stops. TMZ edited it to make it look like he was a jerk, but they said that he was really cool to them. Don't believe the hype. Kevin Connolly is a genuine, really nice, down to earth guy. TMZ is just trying to get a story out of nothing!

37. College Grad and Foreva a fan of Hip Hop,

Apparently you were raised in a PC infected environment, so unable to think for yourself that you have to question what a ghetto blaster is as if it's a racist statement. And yeah, that's where you were going with that rhetorical question. Are you that stupid? You've never heard the term ghetto blaster? If you were a true fan of hip hop you wouldn't have had to ask that asinine idiotic question. I think that the real douche in question is you.

41. Well, apparently TMZ took down comment #32. I'm glad that they worked it out. But some of you should try to look at it from Kevin's perspective. Imagine you are walking down the street with Paparazzi following you, snapping your pic, throwing out whatever comments they can think of to see what kind of reaction they can get out of you, then at the same time fans are following you, trying to talk to you, trying to get you to sign something and pose for a pic. Some of them are coming up behind you with something large. This would all be daunting and frustrating to anyone. I'm sure he wasn't trying to be rude or obnoxious. From what I gather they were approaching him from all around and suddenly starting to film this video that he knew nothing about. I don't blame him for reacting that way.
Do you stop and talk to all strangers or sales people who approach you on the street?

42. I just saw the unabridged version of this video on Kevin Connolly's page on www.tvguide.com and he turns around when he gets to his car and says "good bit" to the band. He was playing along for the cameras. TMZ edited the footage for its website and cut out that part. This confirms what the band said about how he was really nice when they got to the car and talked to them. Check it out if you get a chance:
