Last week, Mel Gibson and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas were involved in a public feud, with Eszterhas saying that Gibson was a scary, angry, Beatle-hating anti-semite, and Gibson claiming that the screenwriter was a liar. Eszterhas has raised the ante by releasing an audio recording of a screaming and ranting Gibson to The Wrap.

For those who have wondered how the guys from Jackass make Jackass, VBS-TV has made a 15-minute, behind-the-scenes documentary of Jackass 3D, including interviews with director Jeff Tremaine, cast members Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, and producer Spike Jonze, who reveals that Jackass is "about scientists doing science experiments."
