Jerry Lewis and Tony Bennett Have Words for Lindsay

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 1st 2010 10:36AM

Jerry Lewis is at it again, issuing more stinging jabs at not-so-nice laaaady, Lindsay Lohan, at a Friars Club event in NYC on Wednesday. Lewis called Lohan, in rehab for the second time in two months, a "fresh, dumb broad" who "needs a spanking on her ass to get her to put herself where she belongs!"

Just last month, Lewis told a befuddled reporter that he'd "smack [Lindsay] in the mouth if I saw her" and "be arrested for abusing a woman." He then said that if she wasn't satisfied, he'd "put her over my knee and spank her and then put her in rehab and that's it."

But Lewis, 84, isn't the only member of the old guard to chime in on Lohan this week. Iconic crooner Tony Bennett told a reporter at a charity event that Lohan and similarly troubled artists who use drugs are "sinning against their talents."

Less bombastic and showing more diplomacy than Lewis, Bennett, 85, continued: "Everybody has a gift, and these young stars should learn how to celebrate life, feel good about living, and do what they love. It will turn them around, and they won't end up doing something that will kill them."

Lohan entered a rehab facility in Southern California this week just days after a judge briefly detained her for failing court-mandated drug tests. She's expected to stay there until her next court date on Oct. 22 where she could be sentenced to another 30 days in jail.

The last time Lewis thwacked Lohan was shortly after her first stay in rehab. He aired a harsh tone when discussing young celebrities who don't give "anything in return" for their fame.

"I think they need a f*****g spanking! And a reprimand!" he said. "It has nothing to do with [money and fame], it has to do that they have the intelligence of a box of rocks. A bag of snails will give you better answers than those people. I think a great deal of it is ignorance and crying for something other than love."

Senility is not a pretty sight.

Truer words were NEVER spoken! Although Tony Bennett wasn't being cruel; just mater-of-fact about it. He's right......a waste of their talent to lose it on drugs. But their battle to fight, not ours.

Mr. Lewis may be old, but that does not make him senile. It appears to me that he is calling it like he sees it. Too darned bad her parents won't do what Mr. Lewis threatened to do. She needs a mom who would do just what Mr. Lewis would do. Lohan needs a parent like Mr. Lewis! That's why she's turned out as she has. She has had everything handed to her on a silver platter. Someone NEEDS to pull that silver spoon out of her mouth and show her she is not the queen, she is just another spoiled woman who thinks the world belongs to her. She THINKS she does not have to follow anyone's rules but her own. She needed that spanking (probably many of them) as a child and maybe, just maybe, she would be a different person today, not a drug addled blithering idiot.

and your contribution for almost 40 years is what?
Yeah that is what I thought! Mr. Lewis gave us wonderful movies to bring laughter to many and then his primary cause is his yearly telethon to help Kids with Muscular Dystrophy. He is an American Hero and has been reconized with many awards based on his work. I could go on, but do not want to confuse you with to many words.

You DO realize he gets paid for this, yes? It's not gratis.

By Dan

1. Where is Childless' proof that Jerry Lewis gets paid (other than to defray expenses) for his work for MDA?
2. I think it'd be hilarious to see Jerry giving Lindsay that spanking while yelling out "HEY LAAAAAADEEE!"

Lewis apparently does not remember his past and the headlines from then. I am old enough to remember all too well. AS I see it, none of us is without mistakes in our lives, past and present. Unless and until then...people need to shut up. I know that my past is not perfect and my present....well I am all most at the bottom of the other side of the hill so I don't do much. I do admit that the twit is not doing well and does need taken down a bit, but it should be by someone that has never made mistakes in their life.

Old people say exactly what they want b/c they don't have to care about what others think anymore.

Oh you mean Dean Martin. Nice guy but, well, he could knock down a sniffer or two, not that it's my business....Al-

Older is wiser, Tex, tell us what you think when you reach their age. You will be singing a different tune. Lindsay is killing herself, maybe they care about this more than you do? The kid is only in Rehab, in order to avoid going back to jail, not trying to get off of booze and drugs. What part of that, Tex, is so difficult to understand? You make me laugh!

And you make me smirk. The old geezer has twice threatened a person he hasn't met and doesn't know with physical violence. I guess that worked for his dysfunctional family. Keep up with all the gossip, hon.

By rotten rollin

Oh Tex get over it, like he's going to beat up on anyone at 84, and you're carrying on like he's got a gun on you.

Okay, rotten. Thanks for explaining that he was just flapping his gums and won't really smack her in the mouth if they ever meet. As I said in the first place......

By Puffy

While they are right about Lindz needing to pull herself together, JL could show a little more diplomacy or better yet, stay the heck out of the fray. There is something so creepy and desperate about Jerry - I have always been repelled by that guy and it's made worse trying to imagine him spanking anyone. Ugh.

By Debbie

Give me a break Puffy. Use diplomacy? That's all anyone has shown this idiot girl. That's why she keep doing what she's doing. Diplomacy doesn't work. Jerry is right. She needs to be smacked across the mouth. I'd love to be the one to do it.

*lol* WORD!

Diplomacy aka political correctness is killing America.

By Mick

For a guy who has led such a charmed life, I can't understand (for the life of me) why Jerry Lewis is so angry. Did Lohan defile his begonias?

By Ann

Yo Mick - Jerry was asked a question and he answered it. If he was angry it's probably because she's always in the news and ALWAYS gets away with it. I, for one, agree 100% with Jerry. She SHOULD be smacked.
