Not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be, but still. The discomfort lies, I think, not in the awkward grab ‘n smooch but in the fact that it’s an awkward grab ‘n smooch from Gary Busey. Aside from O.J., is there any celebrity a gal would less like to have nuzzling her jugular?
Exit question: Is Gary Busey a beta male?

Where was Ben to defend her honor?

I always thought of him as an omega male, as in, “not if he was the last man on earth”, but, the ladies aren’t exactly rational about these things are they?
trubble on February 26, 2008 at 9:16 AM
awww, that was nothing! from what i have heard, gary’s capable of far more weirdness than that.
i saw him in pretty bad tv-movie recently, and he is looking quite… cadaverous lately. too much nose-candy does a body bad, i guess…
homesickamerican on February 26, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Any of ya’ll ever see the show he had a few years ago called “I’m with Busey”? The guy is nuts, but it was hilarious.
someguy on February 26, 2008 at 9:19 AM
oh, and i assume that ben was too busy f***ing what’s-him-name from the other post to come to his wife’s aid. ;-)
homesickamerican on February 26, 2008 at 9:19 AM
Yes, this was an awkward moment for all concerned, including Busey’s wife, who was standing just beside him while this unfolded. This had to be a Jack Daniels moment. He sure looked wired and those Mansom Lamps would have disturbed anyone. I think Ryan Seacrest was caught off guard and clearly, was concerned. He noted shortly after the incident, that he had never met Busey before. The land of fruits and nuts, indeed.

This proves that helmet laws are necessary.

“…I have no idea what’s happening on this carpet right now…”
They even have their own language. How nice. On this carpet…

Sad to see the young Hollywood up-and-comers don’t treat a past Best Actor Oscar® winner with respect and dignity that the prestigious award brings.
On the bright side, can’t wait to see him on Celebrity Rehab with Jeff Conaway.
Brat on February 26, 2008 at 9:24 AM
Busey’s a flake. He went from near-greatness in The Buddy Holly Story to anti-American moonbattery in Valley Of The Wolves.
flipflop on February 26, 2008 at 9:26 AM
Mr Joshua was probably still flying high of the success of Valley of the Wolves -Iraq.
JohnW on February 26, 2008 at 9:27 AM
1. I only watched a few minutes of that E! show live, and caught that!
2. Ryan Secrest is the one who actually ended up initiating the whole thing, so to then act concerned is rather disingenuous.
3. I can understand Garner’s discomfort, but it really wasn’t that big a deal.
asc85 on February 26, 2008 at 9:27 AM
Busey was nominated…he didn’t win Best Actor for his portrayal of Buddy Holly.
asc85 on February 26, 2008 at 9:29 AM
Who else can claim to be the last person killed on Gunsmoke?
Huh? You?
Maybe he could help Brit in her travels.
Limerick on February 26, 2008 at 9:29 AM
I don’t know–better Busey than say Erkle or that guy with the big schlong from Saved By The Bell. Or Michael Jackson…
robblefarian on February 26, 2008 at 9:29 AM
I can’t tell if Gary has fried his brain on some drug or is just slow.
bj1126 on February 26, 2008 at 9:37 AM
Busey is a drunk and anti-American. Screw him. And screw the Oscars. How bizarre that all these Europeans and Australians are always bashing Hollywood but choose to work here, as opposed to their home countries, and then win our awards?
Blake on February 26, 2008 at 9:40 AM
The Jawa Report said it best (with thanks to Michelle Obama):
Shy Guy on February 26, 2008 at 9:42 AM
This is a real no story.
Conservatives R Us on February 26, 2008 at 9:50 AM
Considering the ludeness that these actors and actresses peform in front of millions on the screen for megabucks, I find it interesting when they take offense to things in their ‘personal’ life.
I’m reminded of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, “No kissing on the lips.”
shick on February 26, 2008 at 9:53 AM
Maybe I’m young, but who is Gary Busey?
I don’t think Jennifer Garner knew, either. Thus her reaction.
amkun on February 26, 2008 at 9:56 AM
If I remember right,Gary Busey was on CoasttoCoast Radio
as a guest about a year or so ago.He talked about is near death experience from his motorcycle accident,his alcohol
addiction.He claims he’s found religion and he turned his life around 180 degrees,and how proud he is of his son!
But,he looks spaced out in the video,I dunno!
canopfor on February 26, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Spontaneity MUST be stamped out! Actually this Busey episode was the only interesting thing about this year’s Academy Awards. I hate all those phony actresses so their discomfort over the Busey encounter was GREAT!
pjcomix on February 26, 2008 at 9:58 AM
Quick on the draw, trubble! Good one.
Graybark on February 26, 2008 at 10:00 AM
Bunch of preening, prancing Marie Antoinettes. I wonder if they know that most of the country would like nothing better than to see them all fail. There’s no greater generator of gleeful schadenfreude than Hollywood.
Kinda sad, actually. All that money, all that fame, and in the end, they have nothing to show for it but a bunch of movies that no one cares about. Still won’t stop them from trying to ruin everyone else’s lives with their frothing socialist agenda.
spmat on February 26, 2008 at 10:02 AM
To the extent that he is a male, he is a Beta male.
After he did that role as the Jewish Doctor killing Arab kids for organs in that Turkish movie, one would have thought he would be persona non grata in Hollywood.
Maybe he is. Apparently Garner didn’t know who the hell he was, so that was a nice sign.
Kasper Hauser on February 26, 2008 at 10:07 AM
Years ago, I remember Kathleen Turner going on and on about her la-dee-da background. All I could think was that, Hey lady, you got on all fours and simulated being done doggie style on screen for millions of people. I wouldn’t brag about your fine upbringing.
Blake on February 26, 2008 at 10:09 AM
Goes to show you rehab works only when you go!
Richard Romano on February 26, 2008 at 10:10 AM
I’m sure you have seen his booking photo posted on the blogs as an example of hitting bottom. Normally, I would feel sorry for a person with addiction problems, but he showed his true colors with that anti-American movie.
Blake on February 26, 2008 at 10:11 AM
As long as Gary Busey doesn’t wind up on Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab, the dude is OK by me.
pilamaye on February 26, 2008 at 10:12 AM
She just lucky he didn’t ask her to take out a lighter so he could burn his forearm.
srhoades on February 26, 2008 at 10:14 AM
Okay, ew.
I mean, ewwwwwwww.
Folks, it has NOTHING to do with who that was, and everything to do with being a totally inappropriate action.
Totally inappropriate. Ryan Seacrest didn’t initiate it. All he did was introduce Gary Busey. He didn’t tell him to maul Jennifer Garner.
Inappropriate and disgusting. And there’s probably not a woman out there who something like this hasn’t happened to.
Meryl Yourish on February 26, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Awkwarrrd.
Redhead Infidel on February 26, 2008 at 10:37 AM
Gary Busey has lived in the fast lane and it shows. I still like him, he had a good role in “Black Sheep”.
Geronimo on February 26, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Anybody remember Busey’s B movie action flick Bulletproof?
GogglesPisano on February 26, 2008 at 10:51 AM
The full video would bear this out, as Garner refers to “that man.”
Busey was nominated 30 years ago for “The Buddy Holly Story.”
Just before this incident, Seacrest was blathering about how great and unpredictable live TV was.
And as AP is thinking “beta male” right now, he should try to track down the earlier segment with the underwear models showing how actresses put themselves together for the show.
Karl on February 26, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Don’t question their actions. They are professionals. :)
shick on February 26, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Gary Busey showed his true colors in this little film.
While I wouldn’t say I hope for it, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings any if Jennifer Garner sues him into poverty, no matter how funny he is on “Entourage”.
joewm315 on February 26, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Dain bramage is so sad.
cat-scratch on February 26, 2008 at 11:49 AM
After Valley of the Wolves – Iraq, Gary Busey is on my all time “Go To Hell” list.
gridlock2 on February 26, 2008 at 12:03 PM
The Oscars received their lowest ratings in history….and what part of the show is getting the most views on youtube?????
You go Buddy Holly/Mr. Joshua!!!!!!!!!!!
chief65 on February 26, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Busey was awesome!!
He’s a fly in their ointment. He breaks through the facade of lights and jewlery and evening gowns that America’s royalty throws up in this annual ceremony of self-congradulation.
The inbred, crazy royal uncle that reminds us that they’re all just a bunch of self-absorbed, attention-starved, shined-up trailer trash.
29Victor on February 26, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Well, I’m pretty sure Ryan Seacrest isn’t, anyway. Standing there beholding all that is Jennifer Garner and he wants to know “who are you wearing?”
By the way, JG and Busey are both Texans. Does that count for anything?
Captain Scarlet on February 26, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Oh, come on!!! This is a chick who sleeps with Ben Affect. How could Gary Busey be any worse?
bloggless on February 26, 2008 at 1:07 PM
I agree. He was gross. Seacrest: “Do you know Jennifer Garner?”
Busey: “Eh, I do now! Heh heh heh.”
4shoes on February 26, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Seacrest deserves that and more.
Christine on February 26, 2008 at 1:23 PM
29Victor nailed it…BANG, on the head!
Christine on February 26, 2008 at 1:25 PM
SECOND LOOK AT THE PURPORTED EXISTENCE OF SASQUATCH!
CyberCipher on February 26, 2008 at 1:30 PM
Those TEETH!
Kini on February 26, 2008 at 1:48 PM
The more Hollyweird is made nervous, the better I feel.
Busey’s an idiot..but it was fun to watch him make them feel weird.
Whohoo!
tickleddragon on February 26, 2008 at 2:56 PM
THANK YOU! I`ve been struggling to remember what the name of that show was. It was awesome.
ThePrez on February 26, 2008 at 3:08 PM
How great! What a great Hollywierd party cocktail. Mix 3 shots of vapid, with 2 shots of inane and 1 shot of Gary Busey and voila! c’est magnifique!
Gary reminds me of 7th grade and trying to talk to girls at the dance. Clearly Ryan Seacrest circled “no” on Gary’s note…..
“I’ll see you later at that party!” lol…..
