Joel McHale | Mickey Rourke | Feud

Joel McHale better watch out, Mickey Rourke is on the war path after McHale made a joke about his dog on a recent Soup episode.

Rourke has threatened to smack Joel McHale in the face for dissin' his dead dog.

Rourke's chihuahua Loki died just before the Oscars in February and on The Soup Joel said:

Many say it was a pretty gay friendly Oscars (and) we think it could have been even gay friendly, here's how ... a tribute to Mickey Rourke's chihuahua."

Rourke was the premiere at his new film The Informers when he said this about Joel:

Who's the guy who made fun of my dog? Motherfu***r! Who's that guy,
Joel McCrae? He's going to get a slap in the face, that ain't right.
If yo see him, tell him he's gonna get a slap in the face.

My advice to Joel, run the other way!

Here's Joel McHale's response:

Anil Kapoor on The Soup

Anil Kapoor from Slumdog Millionaire was on The Soup April 3 and he was hilarous. He even gave Joel a run for his money on the laugh-o-meter.

They played Slumdogging It where Joel had a chance to win a few bucks. But he lost it on the last question. Doh!

It was hard to understand what Kapoor was saying in parts but it was funny anyway, especially once the segment was over and he didn't know what to do - at first he put his arm around McHale as Joel started introducing the next segment, but then realised he shouldn't be there and quickly left.

Well done Anil!
