Bill Maher talked to David Letterman about his fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View , and needless to say, didn’t seem eager to apologize and put this to bed. On the contrary, the outspoken late night comedian seemed more amused than anything that Hasselbeck ambushed him about a joke he once made about her. “You kind of walked into a deal there, huh?” Letterman said. Maher’s response? Diss her and make a reference to former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, obviously … Bill Maher on Letterman “I was abused. I felt like a teenage boy at Penn State,” quipped Maher, never one to pass on an un-PC zinger. “It’s funny, I am never in the role of the victim… It was like, thank you, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, for making me look good! “She had some bug up her ass,” he added, but then softened his tone. “Look, I’m only kidding. I like her a lot. We have this relationship on TV where we hate each other.” Watch the aforementioned exchange on The View after the jump: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Versus Bill Maher on The View

Last night was a hilarious and drama filled episode of “Basketball Wives LA”. The girls were continuing their relaxing Hawaiian vacation and still unveiling new drama that Jackie caused. In an attempt to smooth things over with Jackie at the beginning of the episode, all the ladies meet during breakfast to try and confront Jackie about her manipulative ways. Nothing gets resolved in this confrontation however, as Jackie comes in the room already on the defense and ready for whatever the girls had to throw at her. After a brief shouting match, the girls realize that it’s no getting through to Jackie and decide to go clear their heads by doing a little shopping. Now, I don’t know about you, but picking out cute shoes with the enemy doesn’t make things okay! Jackie seemed confused that there was still tension in the air between her and the girls during their shopping outing, and continued to try and find someone to pull to the side and talk about how fake every one is, although it seemed like this time, none of the girls were actually listening. Later on in the episode, Malaysia gets a phone call from another “basketball wife” who dishes on what Jackie has said about each and every girl on the show. At this point, everyone has had enough of Jackie’s ways and they collectively (yes, Draya included) decide to vote Jackie off the island and send her packing back to LA! Ouch! Here are five reasons why Jackie was voted off the island on last night’s episode! 1. Because she is the island! Prior to Jackie’s exit, she stated, “me voted off the island? I AM the island!” Anyone who thinks they are the whole island of Hawaii deserves to be sent home. I’m just saying! 2. Because she’s “tacky Jackie”. After the girls decided to send Jackie packing, Draya said, “Say goodbye to tacky Jackie!” The nickname itself pretty much sums up reason number two why Jackie should have been voted off the island. 3. Because she brought her husband on the trip. Where was Doug Christie hiding all this time? He just randomly appeared during this episode only for us to find out that he has been on the vacation with her all this time? I thought this was supposed to be a relaxing GIRLS vacation? I guess it’s a good thing that she brought her hubby along so he could help her pack those bags when her time was up! 4. Because shes “coo-ky” and she’s like 59 and a half (in Laura’s voice). All this drama was so unnecessary. The back and forth, he said she said, it was enough to make me crazy! It’s no reason all that drama should have occurred during a vacation in paradise and it all came from Jackie. I would have sent her packing too and went back to sipping Pina Coladas on the beach! 5. Because her horse sensed that she had a bad vibe. When the girls went horse back riding, the horse that Jackie chose to ride seemed to sense that she had a bad vibe. According to Draya, horses can sense when people have evil spirits surrounding them. I wouldn’t want anybody with an evil spirit close to me during my vacation! Why do you think that Jackie was voted off the island?

Kim Kardashian is doing all she can to milk her divorce for all the publicity possible smooth things over with Kris Humphries. The disgraceful reality star actually flew to her ex-husband’s hometown today, as multiple sources confirm she’s landed in Minnesota. To what end? NOT to reconcile, insiders tell TMZ. Instead, Kim and Kris will simply meet with the pastor that officiated their August 20 wedding in an attempt to gain closure. And, hey, if paparazzi just happen to be present, and if new stories are created out of the meeting, and if this trip makes Kim seem more sympathetic and less despicable for crapping all over the institution of marriage… so be it, right?

Yooooo flagrant foul on the play! For those who don’t know Keith Clinkscales is a major player in the media game! And right now it looks like he’s doing his best to keep from getting burned by a major ESPN scandal . Deadspin broke the story late Wednesday with a lengthy article about rumored issues that Clinkscales had while during his executive tenure at ESPN, where he ran the Content Development Group that worked to create shows like “30 for 30,” “Rise Up,” “SportsNation,” and “Rick Reilly’s Homecoming.” He’s also credited with the idea for the Body issue of ESPN The Magazine. The allegations about Clinkscales range from temper issues to inappropriate comments but the most shocking claim is that KC was caught choking the proverbial monkey while flying with Erin Andrews for business. Check out some excerpts from the story below: Last month, ESPN announced it was eliminating its bi-coastal, 25-person Content Development department, which was responsible for the network’s 30 for 30 series, among other things… Shortly before ESPN’s announcement, we received an email from the spouse of an upper-level Content Development executive who is leaving ESPN. “This place is a s**t show,” our tipster wrote. The group, he wrote, had been dissolved to “get rid of” Clinkscales—whose transgressions allegedly included a physical altercation with a co-worker and an incident of masturbation in front of sideline reporter and peeping victim Erin Andrews. Top-level ESPN personnel knew of these incidents, these sources said, but nevertheless kept them quiet… Among the disgruntled was the former content development executive (the wife of our initial tipster), who asked that we not use her name though she fully expected to be identified by her former colleagues at ESPN. We’ll call her Connie… according to Connie, the complaints about Clinkscales were all over the place. Some complained about his creative input and his lousy show ideas. Some b****ed that he was an incompetent manager and was stretched too thin to be effective. Some reported that he was a selective bully with rage issues and often said inappropriate things. Once, according to Connie, he openly fantasized about slitting the throat of ESPYs producer Maura Mandt, making a slashing gesture across his throat… Earlier this year, Clinkscales traveled to Los Angeles with Erin Andrews for a work-related event. Andrews sat in the middle, while Clinkscales was on the aisle. It was in either first or business class. What happened next was related by Andrews herself to both Connie, her husband, and ESPN anchor Sage Steele. At some point during the trip, Andrews saw Clinkscales masturbating in his seat, beneath his iPad. When he realized he had been caught, Andrews told Connie, Clinkscales panicked and muttered, “You know, I’m one of your bosses.” Andrews, still scarred from the very public peephole stalking incident, was angry but conflicted, Connie tells me. She shared the incident with a handful of people at the network, but refused Connie’s suggestion that she go to HR. “Do it anonymously then,” Connie advised. Erin declined. She just wanted it to go away. Andrews did not respond to email requests or text messages from me for comment. A call to one of her attorneys, Scott Carr, was not returned. Another source not connected to Connie recently asked Andrews if Clinkscales had jerked off in front of her. Andrews acknowledged that it had happened, according to the source. Connie’s job was dissolved along with the group. She says that Skipper knew some of the problems she’d encountered under Keith over the years and that Skipper had thanked her on several occasions for “not suing us three or four times.” On Tuesday, she met with John Walsh. Word had gotten out that we were working on a story. Connie was still mum about where the information had come from but that she was aware that people were talking. Something was bound to come out. Said Walsh: “That would be bad.” * * * I spoke with Clinkscales last week. He denied the Andrews incident and further denied having any physical altercations with his ESPN co-workers, but he would not comment further. On Tuesday, I reached out to Keith again and he once again denied the allegations. “Do you have an attorney?” I asked. He didn’t have one. Hours later he referred all of my follow-up questions to his newly appointed attorney, Judd Burstein. He and Clinkscales thought they had figured out who our source was. On the phone, Burstein began to recite, with almost theatrical bravado, this lengthy statement on behalf of Keith: “This allegation is completely, 100% false. Human Resources never received a complaint about this incident and Erin Andrews never made that claim. Keith has in his possession email conversations with Erin after they traveled together and those conversations show no mention of this incident and the emails and the phone conversations Keith had with Erin after the trip were completely friendly…” I interrupted: “I didn’t say that the Andrews incident was reported to HR. I specifically told Keith it wasn’t reported to them by her because I was told that she was still rattled by the peephole incident.” “Right!” Burstein replied. “Nothing to HR. Then where’s the proof? These allegations are unconfirmed and completely fictional. And whoever’s telling you this story—and we’re pretty sure we know who that person is—she better be prepared for a lawsuit if this story comes out.” * * * At 1:24 p.m. today, more than four hours before this story had come out, Burstein called to say Clinkscales was suing a woman he believed to be the anonymous source of our story—which, to remind you, we hadn’t published yet. Hours later, we had in our hands a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, which detailed in public the allegations that we had not yet decided to publish. In the suit, Clinkscales and his lawyers write that “an embittered, soon-to-be unemployed ESPN executive has outrageously defamed an innocent supervisor out of spite and racial animus.” The defendant, according to the complaint, “believed that she should have been promoted to the position to which Plaintiff was appointed,” and was “routinely insubordinate” and “at times incompetent.” The suit accuses the defendant of starting a “smear campaign” and seeks compensatory damages of “in no event less than $75,000,” along with unspecified punitive damages and “such other and further relief as deemed just and proper.” This is an EXTREMELY bad look, to put it mildly and we can’t say that we blame Clinkscales for taking legal action. Talk like this could kill a career. And seriously, who masturbates UNDER an iPad on a flight??? That doesn’t even make sense. Do you believe these allegations? What else do you think will come of this? Read the full story at Deadspin.com
Actress’ directorial debut, ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey,’ is a love story set during the Bosnian war. By Kevin P. Sullivan Zana Marjanovic in “In the Land of Blood and Honey” Photo: GK Films We all know Angelina Jolie , Academy Award-winning actress, sex symbol, mother and philanthropist, but today for the first time, the new for “In the Land of Blood and Honey” introduces all of us to Angelina Jolie, writer and director. There’s been talk about the project, a love story set during the Bosnian war in the early ’90s, for a while now, but there was little actually known besides a rough description of the plot. Brad Pitt even refused to give his review of the film when he spoke with MTV News while promoting “Moneyball.” The movie remained more or less a mystery with Jolie’s name as the only recognizable feature. That is, until the trailer hit the Web on Friday (October 21). In it, we get a look at a sweeping romance buried deep within the horrors of the Bosnian war and filled with suspicion and betrayal. The film stars Zana Marjanovic and Goran Kostic as two lovers caught in the middle of the conflict. The scale is surprisingly big, attempting to portray a full-out war, and features lots of gunfire and several large explosions. The trailer also makes clear the emotional weight tied to both the romance and its wartime backdrop. Jolie pulled the cast from the area, choosing unknowns rather than A-listers with Eastern European accents. Two versions of the film exist, one in English, the other in the native Serbo-Croatian. The film opens December 23 and, from the looks of the trailer and its release date, “In the Land of Blood and Honey” could spell another trip to the Academy Awards for the first-time director. Check out everything we’ve got on “In the Land of Blood and Honey.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
