Not to dive into celebrity infighting, but this improbable spat just cracks me up. Apparently a few years ago Glenn Beck called James Cameron the anti-Christ (in response to Cameron’s documentary The Lost Tomb of Jesus), someone recently asked Cameron about the Fox News staple and his response is golden: “Glenn Beck is a f***ing ***hole.” Beck’s equally mature retort?

Don’t know what a “neo-Western” is? Have a gander at the trailer below:
