It seems like it would be impossible to offend Amy Schumer, but if you call her Trainwreck character "skanky," it will absolutely set her off. That's what Australia's Kiis 101.1's Matt Tilley did, and he is probably really regretting that decision since Schumer absolutely shut him down upon hearing his judgment of her role. Prior to his name-calling, the interview was actually going pretty well, but he took a wrong turn and it only got more awkward from there. "Do you have the word skanky in America?" Tilley asked, which caused an unimpressed-looking Schumer to joke that he was thinking about his mother. "Come on, that's the character in the movie. I'm not trying to...

Here's a tip for interviewers meeting Amy Schumer - don't call her partly autobiographical Trainwreck character "skanky".
The comedian didn't take too kindly to the remark from Matt Tilley at Australia's Kiis 101.1, and the rest of the interview is just painful to watch.
Things were going quite well until Tilley asked: "Do you have the word skanky in America?"
"We do have that word," an unimpressed Schumer replied, joking that he must be thinking of his mother.
"Come on, that's the character in the movie. I'm not trying to offend you," he said.
But Schumer was in no mood to forgive him, replying: "Whatever you are trying to do, you are [doing]. That's a rude question."
The rest of the interview went downhill from there, as Schumer disagreed with him about his take on her character's journey.
Towards the end of the chat, Tilley asked: "Would you rather do that [acting] and have stand-up as fun?...

In 2008 a young director by the name of Daniel Stamm introduced a truly shocking little film onto the festival circuit. So controversial was the movie that Stamm was nearly lynched in Kosovo after screening a rough cut of it at a festival there. Eventually the buzz around A Necessary Death led the filmmaker to his biggest gig, The Last Exorcism. Deemed too odd to market by most distributors, the flick quietly hit DVD via Mpi home video and is now available for download via iTunes. If you haven't seen it, you should really give it a look as calling it unique is a bit of an understatement.

Matt Tilley has sustained a broken back, a fractured rib and a bruised kidney after a car accident. The Australian radio personality, who is best known for his "gotcha" prank calls on Fox FM's breakfast show, was hit by a car in Melbourne while out riding his bike on Saturday. Tilley, who was released from The Alfred hospital last night, told his co-hosts: "I got knocked off my bike by a guy who swung across the bike lane... and just 'smash'. And I sort of did the human tumbleweed along the road for a while. Eventually I came to a stop and an ambulance came and I got the green whistle. "They (more)...
