Jim Belushi
The hard-partying Albanian funny man was one of the original cast members of Saturday Night Live and took his ingestion of contraband as seriously as he did his comedy. On a side note, he totally didn’t have a little brother who went on to a career of thoroughly mediocre television sitcoms.Oh, wait. Shit.
James Iha
World-famous Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha once contacted a friend of ours on Friendster and asked her to go to brunch. She accepted, obviously, because who wouldn’t? But still... totally weird on his part, right?
Diamond Jim Brady
Legend has it infamous party boy and 19th-century businessman Diamond Jim once ate three whole ducks and eight lobsters for dinner, prompting the restaurant’s owner to call him the “best 25 customers I ever had.”
Jim Leyritz
Once remembered for his 15th inning, game-winning home run in Game 2 of the 1995 ALDS, former Yankee catcher Jim Leyritz is, sadly, now best known for his legal exploits. In December of 2007, he was arrested for drunk driving and charged with vehicular homicide. How he must wish he’d merely been called out on steroid use.
