Jerry Doesn't Love Lucy! by Emily Farache Feb 14, 2000, 10:30 AM PT Jerry Lewis is The Ladies' Man no longer. The alleged funnyman was anything but this weekend at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado, when he made disparaging remarks about female comics and said women were just "a producing machine" for babies. Lewis, 73, was on hand at the fest Saturday night for a career retrospective honoring his lifetime of comedy, but after glowing comments about his long-estranged former partner Dean Martin, his remarks turned sour. During a Q&A session moderated by Martin Short, a member of the 1,000-strong audience asked Lewis which female comics he admires. Replied Lewis, "I don't like any female comedians." Short quickly asked Lewis about Lucille Ball--"You must have loved her." "No," the Geisha Boy star said. "A woman doing comedy doesn't offend me, but sets me back a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies in the world." By all accounts, the remarks were met by a stunned silence. Associated Press reports many left the St. Regis Hotel conference room shaking their heads in disbelief at the man who has devoted himself to muscular-dystrophy research and whose good works even led to a Nobel Peace Prize nomination in 1977. There's been no immediate comment from Lewis' representatives. **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
