Melissa Gorga to Teresa Giudice: "Don't Ever Get in Between My Marriage!"

Melissa Gorga has largely held her tongue on The Real Housewives of New Jersey when it comes to her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice, but on Sunday's episode, it's clear Gorga just couldn't keep quiet any longer.

As this explosive preview clip shows, Gorga and Giudice's tensions come to a boil and force an ugly confrontation that has been months in the making.

PHOTOS: Housewives relationships gone sour

What's issue No. 1 for Gorga once the women come face-to-face? Giudice's nasty remark that she'd leave her husband, Joe Gorga, if a richer man came along. "Don't ever get in between my marriage," Gorga, 32, screams at Giudice, 39, during their outdoor spat.

Speaking of Joe Gorga, a fired-up Giudice then slams her sister-in-law for dissolving the once-healthy relationship she used to have with her brother. "We don't talk anymore since you came in the middle," Guidice fumes. "Whatever I tell you, you twist it around and tell my brother your side."

VIDEO: Melissa is baffled by Teresa's latest insults

Viewers then learn that Gorga has good reason to keep her distance from Giudice. "You call me up, you say nasty things, you insult my children, you insult me and then you don't want me to tell on you," Gorga snipes to Giudice.

When Giudice has finally had enough, she storms away from the scene of their spat, much to Gorga's delight. Says Gorga: "Run away, coward, like you always do when you're wrong!"

VIDEO: Joe Gorga says his marriage to Melissa is stronger than ever

Watch more of the duo's explosive confrontation in the clip above before the full episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sunday at 10 p.m. (EST) on Bravo.

Beastie Boys Changed the Game: PEOPLE Music Tribute

Beastie Boys Changed the Game: PEOPLE Music Tribute

Beastie Boys 1988 (from left): Mike Diamond, Adam Yauch and Adam Horovitz

Ilpo Musto/REX USA

When the Beastie Boys first hit big with "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)" in 1987, they crossed the hip-hop color lines and became the first white rap group with any real cred.

Still, with its frat-boy chorus, the song seemed to be somewhat of a novelty. Would they really be able to keep up with the likes of Run-DMC, Public Enemy and Eric B. & Rakim – all contemporary black rap groups?

I, like many other young blacks into hip-hop at the time, was skeptical. But the answer was a surprising, resounding yes. Which is why the untimely death of Adam "MCA" Yauch from cancer at 47 hits so hard.

Signed to the pioneering hip-hop label Def Jam, the Beasties truly changed the game, opening the door for every other white rap act that came after them, from 3rd Bass and and, yes, Vanilla Ice to Eminem. This New York crew proved, like so many Motown acts in the '60s, that music was not about color and helped bring hip-hop to the masses with their multiplatinum debut, 1986's Licensed to Ill, the first rap album to hit No. 1 on Billboard. They would go on to bring ambitious, eclectic sounds to hip-hop with albums like 1989's Paul's Boutique, pushing the genre forward sonically while maintaining a verbal virtuosity that was uniquely their own. But their importance is as much cultural as musical.

Yauch, Mike "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horowitz made it cool for suburban white kids to embrace the hip-hop lifestyle, from its music and fashion to its lingo. All these years later, just look at Andy Samberg's Lonely Island trio or Justin Bieber rapping on his new single "Boyfriend," and you can feel the influence of the Beastie Boys.

Sadly, because of his declining health, Yauch was not able to join Mike D and Ad-Rock when the Beasties were deservedly inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month. But at least he could die knowing that his legacy as a member of this groundbreaking group will live on forever.

Chloe Moretz promotes Hick without Blake Lively in New York

Chloe Moretz stopped by Letterman yesterday before the Hick screening last night in New York. Some of these expressions, and that turn of her body, does it remind you of someone? I swear in a couple of these thumbnails I thought it was Lindsay Lohan 2006.

The style experts are all praisey of Chloe’s “appropriate” outfits. Is it in my head? Because to me, in comparison to someone as recent as Emma Watson, to me that’s a 25 year old. At least. I just...don’t remember Emma Watson looking not 15 when she was 15. Sure, there were designer clothes thrown at her. But it was either the way she wore them or the items she chose that kept her, firmly, at her exact age. She was poised, yes, but she was still awkward. As you are when you’re 15.

Chloe? Not awkward at all. I’m awkward about how not awkward she is.

As for Hick, I’ve heard from several people who saw it at TIFF. They say it’s good. Doesn’t make you feel good but it’s good. Super intense, gritty. They just don’t know if there’s an audience for it. I’ve attached the Hick trailer below. Eddie Redmayne’s versatility is amazing to me. He’s believable every time in such a wide variety of roles.

Also...

Blake Lively has largely been absent from promoting this film. Earlier this week she was in Napa with Ryan Reynolds. Is it because she can’t bear to be away from him? Or is this a career decision? Do you get the sense, even though Hick doesn’t suck, that she doesn’t want to be associated with it, preferring to save her sh-t for Savages?

The Crap I Missed – Friday 5.4.12

Welcome to Friday’s The Crap I Missed. I’d like to just say thanks for hanging in there with me this week during Fish’s absence. Hopefully the booby pic : dick joke ratio wasn’t too off kilter. Wait, did I just give away our secret strategy? Damn, I was this close to not fucking up! Anyway, we’ve got Rihanna: Queen of Subtlety up there, George Clooney having a stroke while doing his best Lady Gaga impression, the greatest recycling motivator you’ll ever see, and this conversation between Charlie Sheen and Joe Francis that has absolutely nothing to do with blow.

Maryna Linchuk is your final five and she’s never been here before, so try to be nice,

Kim Kardashian Attorney Blames Kris Humphries for Divorce Drag-Out

Lost amidst the hoopla of Kim Kardashian dating Kanye West? She's still married to Kris Humphries!

How can this be, considering the couple signed a pre-nup that divided their assets? And considering they have now been apart far longer than the 72 days for which they were wed?

Kim Kardashian at E! UpfrontThe Former Mr. Kim Kardashian

Simple, Kim's lawyer argued in court today: Humphries is dragging out the precedure because he wants to keep his name in the news.

According to TMZ, Laura Wasser stood in front of a judge today and decreed the action of her client's ex. She said Kardashian will be asking Kris to foot her legal fees if a divorce trial actually commences.

And it looks like we really might be headed down that path: the judge ruled that depositions will be permitted, meaning Kim might truly sit in front of opposing counsel, under oath, and be asked about her motivations for marrying Humphries.

Amazing.

Watch Adam Yauch and the Beastie Boys' Iconic Party Anthem, "Fight For Your Right"

The music world will never be the same after the Friday passing of Adam "MCA" Yauch.

Thirty four years ago, the legendary MC co-founded the Beastie Boys with his friends Mike "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz. Initially a hardcore punk band, the Brooklyn, NY-based trio began incorporating influences from the burgeoning hip hop scene, and made the switch over to hip hop in 1984.

PHOTOS: Celebs gone too soon

The rappers secured their place in music history with the release of 1986's License to Ill--hip hop's first number one album--and followed it up with their second, the critically-acclaimed Paul's Boutique in 1988.

On April 14, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame chose to honor the iconic rappers for their contributions to pop culture, making them only the third rap group to ever be inducted.

PHOTOS: Stars we lost in 2011

Yauch died Friday after losing a near-three-year battle with cancer; he is survived by his wife, Dechen Wangdu and their daughter, Tenzin.

"It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam 'MCA' Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys . . . passed away in his native New York City this morning," his rep shared in a statement with Us Weekly.

'The Avengers': Director Joss Whedon Talks Hulk Success And Favorite Scene

Assembling "The Avengers" was clearly a Hulk-sized job and the signs of strain were still apparent when Moviefone sat down with director Joss Whedon three weeks before the film's release. While relative newbies to the blockbuster world Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) could barely contain their excitement about the film, Whedon seemed to have just gone 10 rounds with one of his superhero characters. He wasn't in a joking mood (our jest about a previous Samuel L. Jackson film fell painfully flat) but his wry sense of humor was still intact.

Still, with the movie getting rave reviews and racking up record-breaking ticket sales overseas, Whedon's hard work has clearly paid off. And a little exhaustion seems a small price to pay for comic book and box office glory.

I can't count the number of times I geeked out watching this movie.
Cool.

When you were putting it together, what scene were you most excited to film?
Well, unfortunately I can't say because it's a spoiler. It's one of the few things that hasn't been spoiled by the commercials. But .. [makes flip-flopping motion with his hand, which will be clear after you've seen the film.]

Okay, what about the Iron Man versus Thor scene?
That wasn't a bad time, although all night in the woods was a bit cold.

That wasn't a set?
Oh no, no, we shot all of it in the woods. And Hemsworth didn't have any sleeves.

This is a ridiculously good looking cast.
You know, they're not unattractive. And a couple of them seem to know how to act.

Since the previous two Hulk movies weren't well-received, people were a little apprehensive about bringing him back. But after the press screening, people were saying exactly what I was thinking: "Excellent use of the Hulk."
Thank you. It was the biggest challenge and the thing I'm proudest of. I love Mark [Ruffalo] so much and he's so good. And the animators came up so hard to try and find his performance and still take it that much further. I think they did a beautiful job.

He got the biggest cheers.
The Hulk is a difficult character and he's very easy to get wrong. I think making a Hulk movie would be almost impossibly difficult because he's not a straight-up superhero at all. He's more than one thing. It would require a lot of delicacy to get him from Point A to Point B and then back to Point A. It did in our movie. But the payoffs are so enormous because the Hulk is so pure. He's not big with the self-doubt. When he gets in there he gets in.

Was there one Avengers character you wanted to have in the film that just ended up not fitting?
For a while, we had some worries about Scarlett [Johansson]'s schedule, so we started talking about the Wasp and I sort of fell in love with the character. But ultimately it would have been just too much. I mean the movie's too much as it is. [Wry chuckle.]

And you cut it down a little bit, from the three-hour long original cut.
Yes, we did. But still, for the sheer bulk of the FX houses, I made too much movie.

Uh oh! So will you be back for more Avengers?
No idea. I've just got my head down.

So how hard is it knowing that you have to fit this film into a bigger master plan, like you have to keep Loki alive for the next "Thor" movie.
[Echoing the phrase]: "Keep Loki alive." Sometimes it's frustrating, but mostly you know it going in. You know there are going to be certain parameters. So you try to turn them into advantages. And, quite frankly, I like not killing the villain. I didn't do it in "Serenity." I think it's more interesting to see hubris brought down than to just see it killed off.

Loki's a great villain.
I think so too. Tom's phenomenally talented and extremely generous.

The scene where you have Samuel L. Jackson and Stellan Skarsgard together in an underground lab... I almost expected a shark to come bite off Stellan's arm for a moment there.
You know, nobody else remembered that. Sorry about that. I feel I've let you down.

Well, Sam gives a much more effective motivational speech in your movie. He's good at those.
Well, he is. He's a good motivational speaker. Although there was one take, where he may have gone a little far with the motivational and he asked me, "Was Reverend Jackson in the house?" And I was like, "A little bit."

So you had to tweak his performance a bit.
Every actor.

What about Downey? How much tweaking went on there?
Directing Downey is enormous fun because every take is completely electric. And every take he gets you where you need to be. There's a level of, "I'm going to twist this," "Here's some improv," "Let's work this out together." It's always fluid but he always knows exactly where he's going. It's just exciting.

Almost all these actors have already played these characters for other directors. How hard was it to get everybody on the same page?
Everybody knows the reality of the thing and the reality is that I'm directing the movie. And because I'm writing it, they know that everything I'm doing is with a purpose. As soon as they feel that kind of trust, it doesn't really matter. I've already asked them, "What do you feel about your character?" before I put pen to paper. So we already had a pretty organic process by the time we got on set. Nobody was like, "Whoa, hold on."

Let's say the 12-year-old Joss Whedon has just found out he's going to direct an "Avengers movie," which character would he be most excited to work with?
Moon Dragon! Or the Beast. Because when I was 12, the Beast was actually one of the Avengers. That's absurd, that's a terrible answer.

And if you had a chance to direct a non-Avengers Marvel movie, what would it be?
The rights are tied up elsewhere, but I always felt that a Kitty Pryde movie would be awfully fun. What a shock!

Mariano Rivera Tears ACL, Career Possibly Over

The career of Mariano Rivera, the greatest relief pitcher to ever play Major League Baseball and one of the most respected players to ever don a uniform, may be over.

The 42-year old closer tore his ACL prior to the Yankees/Royals game yesterday when he tripped in the outfield shagging fly balls during batting practice.

Mariano Rivera Wallpaper

Rivera fell to the ground in pain as Alex Rodriguez, watching from afar, uttered "Oh my God, oh my God." He was then carted off the field and taken for a MRI, where the diagnosis was made.

With his season almost definitely over, does this mean we've seen the 12-time All-Star throw his final pitch?

"At this point, I don't know," Rivera told reporters after the game, fighting off tears. "Going to have to face this first. It all depends on how the rehab is going to happen, and from there, we'll see."

The only people celebrating the injury to one of the classiest players in the history of professional sports? Nope, not Red Sox fans. That would be fantasy baseball owners who have Dave Robertson on their squad. He will likely move in to the Yankees' closer role.

Being the boss' boy-toy certainly has its perks.

At a press conference Monday to announce her upcoming world tour with Enrique Iglesias and Wisin Y Yandel, Jennifer Lopez, 42, announced her boyfriend of six months Casper Smart will play an integral role in putting the show together.

"I'm working with [choreographer] Jamie King, and also Casper Smart," the superstar said. "It's going to be an amazing, amazing show."

PHOTOS: Jennifer Lopez's romantic history

Lopez promised that it will be "one of the most historic tours ever. There's never been something like this, where Latinos come together like this. It's international -- English and Spanish. I just think it's very groundbreaking. I was honored to be asked to be a part of it."

Smart's promotion shouldn't be surprising, given that Lopez is ready for a fourth trip down the aisle. "She's telling friends she wants to marry Casper," one confidante recently told Us Weekly. "She's certain she wants to be with Casper forever."

Jennifer Lopez continues to film her latest music video on March 12, 2012 in Acapulco, Mexico that her boyfriend Casper Smart is the directing.

The 5-foot-8 dancer has practically moved into her L.A. home and even sits in on her business meetings, the source dded. "He provides what she hasn't had in years. He's very supportive and devoted."

Unlike her ex Marc Anthony, 43, Smart, 25, lets Lopez call the shots. "He exists only for her," the confidante explained. "Marc controlled her, and now she's in control."

During Monday's press conference, "Dance Again" singer Lopez also announced her 4-year-old twins Max and Emme will be joining her on the road.

"They'll get on the bus with me and it will be a learning experience, for both of us. Luckily, there's always grandma's house if they get really tired and stir-crazy," she told reporters. "They can go to grandma's for a few days, then come back, you know? I'm gonna figure that out as I go, but I can't be away from them for too long, so they'll be with me for most of the time."
