Jan 25 2006Joe Pesci is an angry little man
Proving that he takes a different approach to pounding college students than most Hollywood actors, Joe Pesci has been accused of punching Juan Carlos Montenegro, 24, after Montenegro took a photo of him. The college student snapped the 62-year-old Pesci in a shopping center parking lot in Boca Raton on Sunday.
Montenegro said in a police report that he repeatedly told Pesci he was a big fan and asked if he could take his picture. But the Oscar winner growled, "Not now," and kept walking to his car. After he took the shots anyway, a "furious" Pesci let him have it, saying "You shouldn't have been interrupting my business," according to the report.
First of all, if you get your ass kicked by a 62-year-old man who's as tall as Gary Coleman's penis, the last thing you should do is publicize the story. What you should be doing is flower arrangements, or knitting, or writing homo-erotic ballads about the rugby team (i.e. "scrum love"). But I am curious how having his picture taken interrupted Joe Pesci's business. Unless his business was "not having my picture taken." But that seems like a pretty terrible business for an actor to be in. Maybe he should've thought that one out.

Why can't I get punched out by by Joe Pesci? That kid's going to make some serious bank.

Don't underestimate Joe Pesci. He is actually a bad a$$. He's lost a step since Saturday Night Live, but he's still pretty big. Oh wait, that was Joe Piscopo.

Actually, Joe had just gotten a smoothie from Jamba Juice...so his business was all about a fruity drink. I am so sure he got the vitaboost extra in his smoothie!

Do not take photographs if the Great Joe Pesci, or he will lay his hands upon you in a disagreeable fashion.

First rule of Joe Pesci, you do not photograph Joe Pesci.

Hey, how would you feel if young people were constantly smashing you in the face with bricks, burning you and otherwise inflicting bodily harm using seemingly non-threatening contraptions? He probably thought a screwdriver was going to shoot out of the camera and wedge in his ear canal while Juan Carlos pumped his fist and said, "YEESSS!"

Someone's read Frank Sinatra's biography a few too many times.

Pesci shoud have pulled a "Tommy Devito" move from Goodfellas. That would have taught the little bastard.
12. BOOTSY COLLINS - January 25, 2006 3:07 PM

13. Rocknrope - January 25, 2006 3:12 PM
Maybe Pesci was pissed because he just got f*cked at the drivethru.
14. ESQ - January 25, 2006 3:17 PM
Rocknrope, I am so LMAO. I forgot that line in Leathal Weapon whatever number it was.

any other 62 year old midget...okay, but this is Joe Pesci, he's killed people...lots of people. :o

The only way this prick could regain his right to own a penis is to claim the event took place before Pesci made Home Alone.

Superficial is so funny, this site is Conan funny.
I would never even bother to care about Pesci news but, my god. whoever writes this shit should work for SNL and bring back "teh funni".
18. Kelly - January 25, 2006 5:29 PM
lol heehaw.
At least he didn't have him kiss his shoe like bitch-no-tallented ass r-Ashley Simpsom.
Or
he should have put the photographer in the back of his trunk and taken him to the dessert and beaten him with a bat as he took pictures if him and squirted him with his smoothy.

This is the damned Jamba Juice right down the road from my house. How dare this stalker and wee man ruin my opportunity to get a Vitamin C booster in my smoothie? They have sullied my tried-and-true cold remedy, I tell you.
Sigh.
That said, I would have clocked the punk, too. But I'm at LEAST an inch taller than Pesci. ;)

Pesci's a has-been.
A tired, ugly little troll.
21. HughJorganthethird - January 25, 2006 10:37 PM
What was this guy thinking? Didn't he see what Pesci did to poor Spider just for mouthing off?
22. drdisaia - January 26, 2006 1:11 AM
Well angry or not, he better get out his checkbook. This one's gonna cost him.
23. Shaun - January 26, 2006 4:49 AM
That picture looks like he just woke up in a pissed off mood because one of his grandkids tea bagged him.
Juan Carlos Montenegro is going to make some cash indeed. Maybe Joe and Russell Crowe can make an anger management movie together.

In Pesci's defense, it is annoying when someone is taking your picture when you don't want to be photographed. I should have pulled a Pesci on picture day in grade school, or just take out the entire annual staff all together. If I wasn't cursed with white girl syndrome, all those camera totin' b*tches would be sporting a limp.
25. CurlyAmyGirl - January 26, 2006 2:35 PM
Well, considering that Joe Pesci hasn't really DONE anything since 1998, I'd have to say that NOT getting photographed has become his business. Oooh, zing!
