Beefin'! David Cross vs Jim Belushi
Filed under: Celebrity Feuds
In his new book I Drink for a Reason, Arrested Development star David Cross reveals the motivation behind his decade-long feud with Jim Belushi, who has become the butt of many sketches and satirical short stories on the Mr. Show site.
During the filming of 1995's Destiny Turns on the Radio with Belushi in Las Vegas, the comedian visited a casino during a shooting break and struck up conversation with a blackjack dealer.
The dealer confessed to having a sick 8-year-old son who was a fan of Belushi. Cross committed to getting an autograph from his castmate, even though he had not met him yet.
As Cross approached Belushi with the request and story of the blackjack dealer, he wasn't having any of it!
"Jesus, I thought you were gonna get me a b- job," said Belushi.
After Cross' further polite prodding, the According to Jim star continued, "Jesus Christ, you're worse than my second wife!"
Belushi never signed anything for the child, which continues to anger Cross till this day!!!
Rightfully so! Jim Belushi is a fucktwit!
"Seriously! If Jim wants to talk about it, that's fine. The story is all in the book. That guy was a full-on 100% d-bag. It was a real incident. If anything, I'd hope if I saw him now he'd apologize," says Cross.
Belushi sounds like a major tool!!!
We doubt anything has changed!!!!

Nothing to do with this article, but…David Cross has always re-defined the term douchebag for me. He creeps me the hell out and I am not someone who is easily offended AT ALL.
David Cross is good in my book.
I believe it. Belushi's only famous cuz of his last name. David Cross is fucking awesome. Love his standup. Love Mr. Show. Love Arrested. MAKE THE MOVIE ALREADY!!!!
TEAM CROSS!!!
It's bad manners and unprofessional on Cross' behalf, even if Belushi was being a major jerk.
what a z-list fight
neither one of these guys are funny.
who cares
Team Cross! I was in NO for Mardi Gras with group of people yrs ago. A couple of people ran into Belushi one night on Bourban Street and from what I heard he was a real asshole.
i thought jim belushi was dead?
long live tobias funke!
I LOVE David Cross! But back to topic, if the story is true, it sounds pretty icky of Belushi.
is that Howie Mandell
Re: Flips11 – That would be JOHN Belushi. Jim's big brother, and the only reason he's famous.
Well, Bobo Belushi has to contend with Jeremy Piven's tongue cleaning out his asshole, so it is difficult for him to write with all the jerkin.
two old men bitching how borin perez!!!!!
This is stupid. I've met Jim at a CHARITY event and he was very approachable and VERY nice. I talked with him for a bit and moved on and I actually found him genuine.
He waved all demands b/c it was for a charity and he played in the middle of no where. He pulled everyone and their mother on stage and let them sing with him. He posed for many photos and signed autographs. He was great.
zomg, that's my friends uncle.
Jim belushi whatever.
I've met him soo many times.
He's really nice.
Tobias.
Hmmm, interesting.
Sounds to me like D. Cross fell for the old "my kid is sick would you get me an autograph?" trick. Sounds to me like Belushi can see right through that BS. Sounds to me like Cross needs to get over it because he's an idiot.
If perez (little "p") says he's a douche than it must be so, since it takes one to know one and perez is the biggest douche on the left coast.
Gotta LOVE David Cross!!! I adore him! Ohh Tobias.. I love thee.
Perez, you might want to add that Belushi is a known sleeze bucket that regularly drugs girls to get in their pants. Did it to a girlfriend of mine at the Playboy mansion, left her at the side of road after the party after she still shut him down.
I used to routinely wait on Belushi when I was a waitress in Chicago & he was awful! Expected everything for free since he's a "celebrity" and then barely broke out his wallet to tip. I hated having him in my section!
Perez, do YOU personally know Jim Belushi? People are generally not "acting", they are usually just playing themselves. So, IMHO, that makes me far more skeptical of David Cross and his intentions, than Jim Belushi. Just saying. Two sides.
What 8yr old even knows who Jim Beushi is? This is pure bullshit
We actually met Jim Belushi at the opening of Planet Hollywood in Chicago. When the cameras were on he was all smiles and friendliness, acting like he loved spending time with the "little people". When the cameras were not on him he completely ignored anyone he didnt think worthy of speaking to him. He was rude and just a jerk. Of course he would be nice at a charity event where there is media. I think this story is completely and totally legit.
A1 Dicklick.
A 'fucktwit'? You stupid fuckwit…Please dont use Aussie slang it makes you sound foolish.
Team Cross. Pray for D-bags..
Re: Look At The World Revolving Around Me – since when is fuckwit Aussie slang?
Are you the Australian that made it up?
There's been too many stories about him for this not to be true. I remember a few years ago hearing about someone walking across the beach in front of his property and he came out there and threatened them and said he owned the beach. He sounds like a self-serving jerk.
I met him and the great Dan Aykroyd at a House of Blue grand opening. They were performing as the "Blues Brothers". Yeah he seemed like a total dick but he did pose for a picture with me… ; )
i've met Jim he was totally awesome, so i don't think he's a douche, he was pretty damn nice actually.
Who wants a banger in the mouth?
I saw Jim Belushi at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago several years ago and he refused me an autograph. He wasn't even famous at the time and I was just a little girl. He's an ass for sure and why go to a public event and not sign autographs? I didn't even get close to him because his security stopped me. As a result I can't stand him and won't watch anything he's in. Oh wait, is he even in anything?
do people actually care???? jim belushi's brother Jhon belushi is a comedy LEGEND! that dosnt make jim just as good just because hes jhons brother …with that being sad…hes not important neither is david cross! gosh why waste time on z listers you shouldve posted an article on how harrison ford is the highest paid actor now and then after harrison ford its adam sandler !!! YOUR SLOW!!! "QUEEN OF ALL MEDIA'/?? MY ASS!
Ive heard good and bad about Jim. I really get annoyed with his Chicago Cubs antics. Chicago doesn't need to see Jim Belushi everytime the playoffs come around. Fork up some of your families cash and help purchase the Cubs if you love them so much.
John Belushi - the funniest living Belushi.
the wrong Belushi died.
