A long term friend of mine is being a real dickhead to everyone around him lately, pretty much intentionally. He refuses to do anything that doesn't serve him best, is cheap, won't plan anything with anyone but expects to be included in plans, and constantly tells people what's wrong with them, in addition to expecting us to do favors for him. He's even reading a book about how to be more of an asshole, called "No More Mr. Nice Guy."
Our other good friend that we don't get to see much has invited us all out to a nice dinner at his restaurant, and is going to cover most of the meal. For about a week, this guy has said he was going to come, but is now telling me that he "may or may not show up," and that we'll find out when we all sit down if he's decided to. It's really shitty - one other person has backed out, and my other friend probably won't show because she's unreliable, so it may just be the host and I sitting at a tough-to-carve-out table for six tonight.
I'm sick of this guy's selfishness. I've tried roasting him about it, talking about how it's stupid, and he just keeps getting worse. Do I just drop the guy because of how he's treating others?

No I think you should let him continue doing this and you need to continue enabl...I mean, giving him the support he needs.

yeah.
Then he will either learn to stop that shit or find new friends. Sometimes people have to learn things the hard way.
He's probably sick of being a doormat so it's natural to be kind of an asshole for a bit.

The thing is, this guy is anything but a doormat. He's a lawyer, he's /fit/, he hooks up with girls, he has a decent network of friends and family, I've never really seen him get taken advantage of except a little bit from his ex girlfriend.
He really has no good reason to start being a total dick.
