It's a gimmick that Direct TV has done with such movies & stars as Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future and Naomi Watts in King Kong - actors advertising Direct TV services while reenacting scenes from beloved movies.

Recently, the newest commercial premiered, with David Spade reprising his role in Tommy Boy in the scene where now deceased close friend and costar Chris Farley performs his famous "Fat Guy in a Little Coat" bit.

Some critics are calling the spot insensitive and tasteless and accusing David of selling out the dead comedian's memory.

David quickly responded to the allegations, releasing this statement through his publicist:

"When DIRECT TV came to me and the Farley family with this idea about 'Tommy Boy,' we talked and thought it would be a cool way to remind people just how funny Chris was. It is a clever homage to my friend and a movie that we loved doing."

Shortly after, a Direct TV spokesperson was quoted as saying:

"We should look to Chris' family and friends for the ultimate opinion on this subject. They were involved from the beginning of this project and felt that the spot was a great to tribute to Chris."

Check out the commercial above and tell us what YOU think!

Oh, Man!

After walking the red carpet, Jennifer Aniston ditched out on the premiere of her new movie, He's Just Not That Into You, and the after party Monday night to hang with her buddies at her LA hangout spot, the Sunset Tower Hotel.

That's where she and her supposed still-boyfriend, John Mayer, were always caught dining in the early days of their reunited love!

A snitch reports that, of course, Courteney Cox Arquette was there at Aniston's Sunset Tower get together.

But, John Mayer was nowhere to be seen!

Interesting note, the source reports that big peen swinging David Spade was there:

"Jen and David hugged hello and playfully draped themselves all over each other for a few minutes. There was laughter all around."

Hmmmm….you know, David always seems to be around to comfort ladies in their time of sad break-ups, i.e. Heather Locklear and Nicolette Sheridan.

He has like break-up sixth sense!

Is he setting himself up to be Maniston's post-Mayer consolation prize?

We thought that David Spade scored with lots of ladies (Heather Locklear, Nicolette Sheridan, Playboy bunnies) because of his "funny personality".

Well, we're totally rethinking that one!

Turns out the comedian is well endowed, y'all!

Former Miss USA turned porn star Kelli McCarty recently revealed in an interview with Howard Stern that was intimate with Dave (about 10 years ago) and that the most memorable thing about him was his big peen.

We never would have guessed!

Ladies' man David Spade is also a lover of rifles. Well, at least rifles for cops.

According to reports, Spade has just donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department.

The Arizona native made the donation on Monday morning.

And he did it personally as well!

The former Saturday Night Live actor stopped by a northeast Phoenix precinct to give Police Chief Jack Harris a check.

Local officials and even the Mayor Phil Gordon were on site for the donation.

According to a police spokesman, Spade called their office last week asking about donating to the rifle program.

The Phoenix Law Enforcement Association and local police have been working hard to get at least 300 more rifles for patrol officers.

Nice to see celebs giving back to their hometowns.

Spade might not be feeding the homeless, but at least he's helping protect his neighborhood.

Who even knew Spade had that much money laying around?

What is his secret???!!!

David Spade sure knows how to get the ladies!!!!

He knocked up a Playboy bunny, dated Heather Locklear and has now been linked to Desperate Housewives star Nicolette Sheridan.

David Spade is a pussy magnet!

A snitch blabbed that David and Nicolette were "full-on making out in a booth" at Nic's 45th birthday bash on Friday night.

Score!!!!!!

How do you do it, Dave?

Ladies do like guys who can 'make them laugh'.

David Spade's alleged baby girl was born last week in Missouri.

Spade has admitted to having relations with the baby momma, former Playboy bunny Jillian Grace, and has said he'd provide for the child if he's proven to be the daddy.

The funny man's rep released the following statement:

"David and Jillian have been in close contact throughout her pregnancy and he plans to go see the baby during his first break from shooting Rules of Engagement."

Get on that paternity test, Dave!

Wouldn't you want to know the truth before opening your heart to the baby?

It's confirmed!

According to In Touch Weekly, David Spade's going to be a daddy! And he's not even with the mother of his unborn child anymore!

The actor, 43, dated Playboy, Playmate Jillian Grace, who's 22, briefly last year. Like, REALLY briefly.

Well, it turns out Grace is pregnant and expecting a baby girl.

Apparently, Spade and Grace broke up before he knew she was pregnant.

And although he hasn't publicly admitted the baby is his, he has said, "If it is true that I am the father of her child, then I will accept responsibility."

Ouch. Sounds like someone thinks their ex slept around and the baby isn't his.

Inside sources are saying that although the two barely even speak, they are trying to sort out the child support details before the baby is due later this summer.

David, don't forget to get a paternity test first.

No point in paying child support if the baby's not yours!
