Donald Trump’s rapid descent into madness this week has apparently alarmed his senior aides so much that they’re reportedly planning an intervention to beg Trump to be a different person, at least until the election is over.
Michael Scheuer has long been a grenade-tosser, from his days as a CIA officer to his anonymous 2004 broadside against the war on terror, "Imperial Hubris." Now, the Georgetown instructor has fine-tuned his argument: Barack Obama and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron are legitimate targets for assassination.
President Obama says he hasn't yet made a decision about intervening in the Syrian civil war as a response to last week's devastating chemical-weapons attack. And if he hasn't, why would you have, especially since it's Labor Day weekend and you're trying to figure out how to grill scallops, exactly, like, just throw…
A&E's Intervention, the reality show about addiction-cum-vehicle for some of the most extreme human behavior ever shown on television, ended with last night's episode. It was its 194th. A&E announced the cancelation in May, and while the network didn't specific exactly why, it's clear that the 8-year-old show has…
It wouldn't be a new year without some media-escalated moral panic over a new and potentially dangerous intoxicant. Except 2012's hazard, a synthetic and cheap legal chemical sold as "bath salts"—varying compositions of mephedrone, methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), and methylone—did have some fairly harrowing…
Jersey Shore brawler Ronnie Ortiz-Magro had his day in court in New Jersey today for the fight that he was in during season one of the show. No, not that fight when he was on the boardwalk with Sammy, the other fight where he knocked a guy out outside of Karma. So confusing!
Today's episode of Dr. Phil brought the conclusion of the incredibly hyped, two-day Ted Williams familiy trouble/rehab saga. During it, Dr. Phil held a one-on-one intervention of sorts and asked a reluctant and scared Williams to go straight into treatment.
On last night's Intervention, 23-year-old Jason did not seem too keen on recovering. He always felt neglected by his mother. Once she finally professed her love, he made the decision to turn his life around and is doing well.
Last night's Intervention featured Dionicio, a heroin addict. As is common with most users, he came from a horribly abusive childhood, but something in his eyes and the way he reminisced made his story exceptionally heartbreaking.
The addicts who appear on A&E's Intervention have a 71 percent recovery rate, which is astonishingly high. Of the 161 addicts profiled on the show, 130 are allegedly still sober. See? Reality television isn't entirely bad after all.
In his interview with GQ, Zach Galifianakis said "if they put a laugh track on Intervention, it would be funny." The TV-lovers over at Warming Glow requested by the magic of the internet that someone create it, and they did.
When you and your mom are best friends and drinking buddies, you might have problems. When you're acting as a look out for your mom as she panhandles for beer money, you definitely have problems.
Tonight's South Park parodied A&E's Intervention with everyone's favorite pot smoking towel. It seems the little blue rascal has opened the gateway to harder drugs like crystal-meth and heroin. Oh Towelie, why won't you listen to those that love you?
You may be familiar with this, the latest and greatest video storming the web. From A&E's Intervention, it features a dude with a strangely haunting, yet comical, wail. But our ever industrious internet wants more! Bring on the mash-ups.
Today at Gawker.TV,we learned a lot from The Sing-Off, the best Tiger Woods parody video we've seen, a local news anchor laughs about murder, another Intervention episode for the record books, and Barbara gets the skinny from Snoop Dogg.
Each episode of A&E's Intervention follows a pattern: the addict's tragic past is explored, his/her horrifying effect on friends and family is exposed, and the intervention is staged. Character is what distinguishes each episode. Tonight's Jennifer was an instant classic.
