from www.contactmusic.com – Troubled comic Andy Dick was ejected from an adult entertainment awards ceremony in Las Vegas on Saturday night (08Jan11) for allegedly pestering a porn star.

The beleaguered funnyman was allowed backstage at the AVN Awards at the Palms Casino Resort in Sin City, but was thrown out by security guards before the show had even started.

An onlooker tells New York Post’s gossip column PageSix that Dick drunkenly wandered into a dressing room and began annoying adult star Tera Patrick and drag queen Chi Chi LaRue.

The source says, “You couldn’t understand what he was saying, but you could hear Chi Chi saying, ‘Leave me alone!’ Tera grabbed Chi Chi and went into another dressing room, but boom, there he was again. This happened three or four more times. He had a cup of beer, which kept spilling. Finally, this huge security guy came over, snatched the beer out of his hand, and said, ‘That’s it, we’re going!'”

A rep for the show confirms Dick was removed from the venue for “disorderly” behaviour, adding, “I questioned one of the guards, and he said Andy was being disorderly and pushing people.”

The incident is the latest in a long line of troubles for Dick – last year he was accused of flashing his penis in a Los Angeles coffee shop, picked up by cops for allegedly wandering into a house in Los Angeles in the middle of the night and ejected from a theatre after reportedly storming into the venue in a drunken stupor.

He was also charged over allegations he grabbed a security guard’s crotch and kissed a male guest at a bar in Huntington, West Virginia without invitation last January.
