Pesci Flips Wig Over Culkin Question

Joe Pesci's made a living out of roughing people up in movies -- and he isn't much different in real life.


Pesci went Tommy DeVito on TMZ's cameraman last night, grabbing the photog by the neck outside Ago, tapping his head against Pesci's car and telling him "Why would you ask a stupid f**king question like that?"

Word to the wise -- never ask Pesci about "Home Alone."

16. I think it's time for me to remove TMZ from my Favorites. I'm tired of coming here, and reading these stupid, stupid, comments and notes about celebrities. Seriously, TMZ, it's time to clean house. The writing on here is horrible, your photographers are rude and obnoixious. Is it really that hard to ask an intelligent question? Maybe the celebrites would be more receptive.

Note to the writers - simmer down on the strikethrough - it's just stupid and cheesy. You write like it's your first day on the job.

17. I saw no violence. If this was true, it would be all over the internet by now you'd think. If it's not true, Pesci should sue for defamation of character.

18. I have to agree with Kanadka. This place has gone from mildy annoying to just horrible. The writing is so cheesy, and some of the gimmicks are waaaaaay overused; like Kanadka said, the strikethrough thing is really old now, plus all the asterisks in the swear words, so you're swearing/cursing without spelling it all out. Oh yeah, that's clever. I honestly believe the writers are all under 18, judging from the form and lack of style of the writing. It's so bad it's just a joke, and the photographers are just morons and ask the dumbest questions. This used to be kind of a fun site but it's gotten so bad, the fun is gone. And then two days ago you run that insensitive and insulting, snide comment about Elliott Yamin's mother never being heard from again...........and only after several hundred people complained, you run a POLL to see if the comment should stay or go. "Hmmm, guys did we go too far or should the comment stay? We're not sure, let's take a poll." How stupid.

Yep, I think it's time to bid a not so fond farewell to this stinking cesspool of ignorance and immorality.

TMZ...enjoy it while it lasts. Something tells me you will be offline before long.

Adieu and good riddance.

20. The Internet is full of message boards where you can see posts from lowlife trash just like the people who work at TMZ.

However, even most of them aren't stupid enough to put comments on a video that contradicts what you're saying.

Or classless enough to make light of someone's dead mother.

21. Pesci is good in EVERYTHING. He has no need to be so pissed. He may make a crappy film but his parts are always done very well. He handled this young bozo with class.

22. I think the little man thought he was in one of his movies. I would have liked to have seen one of those photogs bitch slap him across the hood of that car. And by the way who in the world would cast this "little guy" as a hit man, maybe a comedy.
