Greg Fitzsimmons still hates Dave Navarro
If you’ve caught Greg Fitzsimmons recently – either live onstage or on his weekly Sirius satellite radio show – you know he has a bit of a problem with guitarist Dave Navarro. You might also know that the problem started in January while Fitz was hosting the AVN porn awards in Las Vegas.
The last I heard about it was during his March 5 hosting duties at the Gerry Red Wilson Foundation benefit in New York when he addressed his hatred for Navarro at the request of an overzealous audience member. I thought that was pretty much the end of it. Not so. In an interview for LAist, writer Tim Hammer prodded the comic a bit more.
Tell me a little more about what’s up with you and Dave Navarro?
I don’t know what that guy’s deal is. He manages porn stars and directs or something. He was there at the AVNs hosting the red carpet show. I am on stage hosting and he is in the front row, right in front of me. There he is sitting with his 3â„4 length leather coat and sunglasses with arms crossed and he won’t even look in my direction. I just found it really disrespectful, from one performer to another.So I went on Stern and called him a piece of shit. I called him the “Mexican Prince.†I called him a few other names. When he went on the Stern show a week or two later, Stern played him the clips of me talking about him. Then he said some shit about me. So ever since then I have said it on my show, on Howard’s show on a few other things that I’m challenging him to a fight, boxing, mixed martial arts, whatever.
We can do it on Pay Per View. I want to take out all my aggression and anger I have towards the cool LA guys, which is exactly what he is. The guys in LA are pussies, with their bleached hair and their contrived code words they use. Cool in LA is the total opposite of New York cool. Cool in New York is being open minded and being smart.
Out here [in L.A.] it’s all about just conforming and going with the crowd. I’d love to fight him, but he doesn’t have the balls. The only contact I’ve had with him since is an email from his publicist asking me to come on his Internet radio show. My response to the email was “Pass. Tell Dave to see me in the ring.â€
The funny thing is, Fitzsimmons sounds serious. At least he’s honest about having pent up, and perhaps, misdirected hostility. Will the two ever come to blows? If so, Greg, I suggest you go straight for the nip rings.

TO GREG FITZSIMMONS………..
What? “Mexican Prince” first of all how fucking rude is that, just using the term Mexican…asshole! You Greg Fitzsimmons are the biggest “pussyâ€! Your crying because you got your feelings hurt due to Mr. Navarro not looking in your direction as you were hosting the AVN’s… …HA! Poor you!
Maybe just maybe… he was thinking about what chick he was going to use in the upcoming movie or hell maybe he was thinking what chicks he was going to bang that night…but who fucking cares…. cry baby.
I can’t believe you are starting this ruckus because Dave failed to look in your direction. If anything…you need to fight your inner demons or seek some counseling because in life there are going to be plenty of times that people are not going to give a shit of what you have to say…We Don’t…Not even sure who the hell you are but obviously here to defend Mr. Navarro. Not that he needs defending, but this shit is fun and relieves stress…Oh that’s it…maybe you should try to respond to trash talking like this…It may make you feel better. DICK!

Fitzsimmons is such a tool! Dave wouldnt stoop down to this little bitch having a fricken tantrum. ahh ya Dave didnt pay attention to you. Oh poor baby! Ya you dont exactly have the face anyone would notice or even care to look at. Obviously the AVN’s wanted Tara to have all the attention thats why they put a forgetable face like his up there. Ya i wouldnt look at Fitz if his ass was on fire. And its not cool to make fun of Dave because of his frame thats stupid Dave is fricken hott and I know for damn sure noone says that about Fitz. Hes like a bully who because of his own shortcomings basically no hair and below average appearence has to pick on the beautiful people! Get a life fitz.

What a curious amount of female Dave Navarro fans on Punchline.com this evening. Hmmm, think Mexican Prince sent them here? They’ve never commented before.

Wow Scott how profound. Three is a curious amount? Noone sent us here. Dave hasnt even made a comment about this since it happened. Its Fitz who still wants the attention.
