Here is an official update on Artie Lange…unfortunately it is not too good… Artie Lange’s whereabouts and current mental status are now officially known-but the news isn’t great. An interview Artie Lange did with Penthouse Magazine before his suicide attempt was released Wednesday, and included the first family-approved update on where and how well the Howard Stern Show sidekick is recuperating. The Penthouse article stated: “Lange has been laying low since the suicide attempt, spending time with his mother Judy and his sister Stacey, who reports that Artie is ‘still in bed and not speaking more than five words a day.’ Artie’s sister canceled his shows in Las Vegas and at Foxwoods, as well as a few club dates for New York that were scheduled for June and July.” This is the first official statement from a family member of Artie Lange since the comedian’s suicide attempt by stabbing in January. All other reports on Lange’s post-attempt status have come from stories leaked to tabloid outlets and the occasional cryptic on-air statements from Howard Stern Show members who were trying to respect the family’s wishes for privacy. When asked by a Penthouse reporter what he was “passionate” about, Artie Lange stated: “Work. I have nothing else to be excited about. It sucks.” The Penthouse article also quoted Artie Lange as saying: “Getting on The Howard Stern Show is the greatest thing that ever happened to me.” source: http://www.examiner.com/x-11279-Howard-Stern-Examiner~y2010m5d19-Artie-Langes-sister-says-comedian-is-still-in-bed-and-barely-speaking
