Have you ever been screamed at by an insane person for your poor behavior and actually wondered whether you were losing your mind during the fracas? Such is the case with the epic fight between Vicky Gunvalson & Tamra Barney on the upcoming season finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County, when Vicky loses her mind while admonishing Tamra Barney for disrespecting Vicky’s incredibly creepy boyfriend, Brooks Ayers. Watch a clip from the episode below. And Vicky, if you’re reading this, just know that if you feel the need to stomp the ground in defense of your boyfriend, then there’s probably some merit to the criticism.

Richard Belzer Does Hitler Salute — Is Hitler Funny?
Richard Belzer got in trouble for doing a Hitler salute during a TV festival in Monte Carlo. The Jewish comedian later dismissed the controversy by insisting it was merely a joke.
In case you’re not aware, The Dishmaster is Jewish, and to prove that poking fun at Hitler can actually be funny, I’ve posted a clip from John Cleese’s legendary British show, ‘Fawlty Towers.’ In it, you’ll see Cleese inappropriately impersonate Hitler while courting a group of German guests at his hotel. The episode is extremely famous for it’s catch-line, “Don’t mention the war.” Watch below.

David Arquette Files for Divorce from Courtney Cox — Goodbye ‘Scream’ Lovebirds
It’s the end of a Gail Weathers/Dewey Riley era. David Arquette finally filed for divorce after years of reconciliation speculation and Howard Stern couples therapy. I suppose he lost hope or got sick of trying. Perhaps his new Bar-Mitzvah boy status will land him a nice Jewish girl. Sorry to the couple. It really is sad news.

These United States Interview — Self-Titled New Album
 |
Fifty percent of my taste in music is about the music, and the other fifty percent is about an artist’s personality. And Jesse Elliott of These United States has a great personality. I’m admittedly a new fan of his music, which I discovered when I noticed his joint tour with Trampled by Turtles — another great band. Once I found his music, I played every These United States album for about two weeks straight, an obsession that was solidified immediately after listening to Crimes. And because of my insatiable desire to pick the brain of artists I like, I reached out to his team for an interview. I knew it would be good, but I couldn’t predict the extent of his openness. He’s not just a good musician, he’s an interesting guy. In fact, I might have a new crush. Enjoy the interview!
I know your band started with different members. Why the rotation?
In the beginning it was a matter of practicality. We had a lot of different sounds in our mind that we weren’t capable of making ourselves, so we had to recruit other people. I think it mostly came out of liking different kinds of music and wanting to interpret songs in different ways.
What made you stick with your current band members?
It’s still a little bit of a free flowing thing, because all the people I play with have always played in their own projects with other people. I think of it as a big extended family, and people are free to come and go as it makes sense for their own lives. That’s been good and bad but mostly good, and in the long term it keeps most of us as relatively sane creative collaborators.

Movie Review: Prometheus
Written by: Dan O’Connell, Guest Contributor
Two scientists (Noomi Rapace and Logan Marshall-Green) discover a series of cave paintings that indicate the possible existence of the origin of man, so they board a spaceship with a terse captain (Charlize Theron), a tough pilot (Idris Elba), a benign android (Michael Fassbender) and a bunch of other folks who make no impression whatsoever to explore another planet. However, it’s not too long before they start getting attacked by… something, and this all ties into the first Alien movie somehow too.
Given the level of anticipation built up for Prometheus, (it’s got the Aliens in it! And Ridley Scott is back in space! And also there’s also 3D!) some letdown was inevitable, but I was not expecting how much I’d truly dislike this movie. The movie feels like a cobbled-together collection of scenes with no build, no solid throughline, and zero tension. Sure the effects are decent (although the 3D is so negligible that it needn’t have been employed at all), but they’re at the mercy of a script with forgettable dialogue, enigmatic characters who don’t seem to have any motivation for the way they behave from one scene to the next, and indifferent performances (everyone’s raving about Fassbender’s android, but I’ll take Ash or Bishop any day over this clod). There’s exactly one scene that grabbed my attention (imagine if John Hurt had a little mechanical help extracting his little friend in Alien, and you’re close), but it’s been quite some time where I’ve been so disinterested in something so grandiose.
