By now, we've all seen the video of Gary Busey's vampire-like neck-raping of Jennifer Garner on the red carpet the other evening. But you might not have seen (or heard) that Busey managed to pry himself from his coffin early on Monday morning and delivered a heartfelt (yet borderline creepy) apology to Garner on Ryan Seacrest's radio show. During this interview, we learn that The Buse also managed to spring another surprise attack on the carpet on Sunday (specifically, he interrupted a Fox News interview with George Clooney). However, as disturbing as all of Busey's confused red-carpet lunging on The Most Important Night In Showbiz was, we found ourselves even more disturbed after learning about his "interesting odor."

Whatever that odor may be (booze? the dreary stench of unrealized dreams?), and however perturbed the Fox anchor may have been when Gary decided to nearly ruin her chance at talking to Clooney, some of the most shocking bits of this clip occur during Gary's on-air apology to Seacrest. As he puts it, "you are an innocent champion of honesty. Your heart has a way of embracing the truth." Now if only Seacrest would Lance Bass the shit out of a glossy or two, we might agree with Busey for the first time in our lives.

J.Gar totally overreacted. She suddenly became the snotty junior high girl who looks down upon the poor kid in class.

Who wins in a fight- Busey or Affleck? Ben has the size, Gary has the crazy. Bonus points for Busey- he could kick Affleck square in the groin and it wouldn't lower anyone's opinion of him...

I kind of like the doddering, inappropriate and oblivious dirty grandpa Busey butting into interviews and blathering nonsensical apologies better than the sanctimonious sober Busey of "Tribulation." Actually, i'm not sure which Busey is funnier.

If Gary Busey (not Clooney) were currently working under the onerous label of the "Last Great Movie Star", then his Garner pawing would have been seen as "fun and flirtatious" and his vigorous shaking of Clooney's hand when have been "unpretentious and magnanimous".

Why do I feel like this Fox "reporter" person has this same repellant reaction to any number of homeless people who might have the misfortune of being on her radar on any given day?

Make no mistake: the only "unfortunate odor" stemming from this bogus piece of "news" is coming from you and your attitude, witch!

Busey gets a pass from me because, you know, the dude's genuinely brain-damaged. And not because he's done too many drugs, but because they had to squeeze his brain back into his skull after his bike accident, years ago.

BIG WEDNESDAY gets a pass! With big Gare Bear: what you see, is what you get. Jennifer Garner has SO much collagen in her lips!! No wonder he smooched her neck.

It's true, he played himself on those 'Entourage' episodes a few years back, but he really did a decent job, and i say it takes balls to lampoon ones self even if you're already a lampoon(?). Plus Garner is a complete tease, you can just tell.

@heidiho: I agree! Seacrest was funny, she was a snot. Laugh it off, JGar. Your husband is fucking Jimmy Kimmel!

Love the never ending dissection of Hollywood by NOBODIES from NOWHERE.
He was nominated for an Oscar, that skank reporter was passed over for weather girl in Dallas. Go figure.

I kind of thought Jennifer was annoyed that he reached past her to get to Laura Linney? Was it me? He seemed like he maybe thought she was Laura's publicist or something. I don't know, whatever. He's no Courtney Love, that's for sure.

A Busey I can finally love. (Well that honor goes to Jake - but I'm fond, I'm fond...)

@Trixie from Toronto: see, that's the problem. Ben wasn't there to help her because he was off fucking Kimmel. Poor girl...

Also, did you see Busey attack that eleven-year-old?
