David Spade is developing an animated version of his 2001 box office bomb Joe Dirt for TBS….
“David Spade is a hugely popular comic talent who has created a funny yet loveable character in Joe Dirt,” said Michael Wright of TBS. “We look forward to seeing how he and his fellow writers and producers take this character in new directions as TBS continues exploring the world of primetime animation.”
In a statement to Asylum on Tuesday, comedian David Spade reacted to the negative backlash that has accompanied his new DirecTV ad featuring deceased actor Chris Farley. “When Direct TV came to me and the Farley family with this idea about Tommy Boy, we talked and thought it would be a cool way to remind people just how funny Chris was,” David says in response to criticism claiming he’s selling out his late friend’s memory. “It is a clever homage to my friend and a movie that we loved doing.”
David Spade is one Hollywood star who still remembers that the holidays are really all about the spirit of giving. And with that spirit in mind, after hearing that some local cops had to pay for their guns out of their own pockets, the Rules of Engagement star opened up his wallet and donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department to go toward the purchase of about 50 AR-15 rifles.
“These guys need to be able to do their jobs, and I am just happy I could help,” David, who grew up in Scottsdale and graduated from Arizona State University, said in a statment Monday.
A police spokesman said the department was very grateful for the helping hand.
