Sir Patrick Stewart, guest of honor at this weekend's Comicpalooza in Houston, left attendees awestruck after responding with passion to one fan's gratitude for helping her deal with a history of domestic abuse.

While clubbing in London last night, Rihanna was injured when a man "enraged" by her reunion with King Scumbag Chris Brown threw a bottle of Lucozade (think British Gatorade) at her. She fell to the ground and cut her leg, but was otherwise unhurt.

Brenda Schumann of Vero Beach, Florida, was arrested last month and charged with aggravated assault and domestic violence after she allegedly threatened to kill her husband and his girlfriend before defecating on the kitchen floor.

Last week, actress Halle Berry observed Thanksgiving with the traditional Violent Fight—Almost to the Death—Between Frenchmen on her lawn, where her fiancé beat the shit out of the father of her child. Since then, accusations have been flying like bloodied fists:

Last night, pop singer Chris Brown, who infamously and brutally beat up Rihanna in 2009, launched a verbal, scatological attack on comedy writer Jenny Johnson. Johnson has made it a bit of a hobby to antagonize the 23-year-old Brown, and last night, after she called Brown a "worthless piece of shit" on Twitter, Brown unleashed a barrage of tweets at Johnson to tell her he was going to fart on her and defecate into her eye. As the internet gathered around yet another Chris Brown temper tantrum, Brown, who has hastily deleted offensive tweets in the past, went further than usual, deleting his entire Twitter account and disappointing his legion of fans, Team Breezy.

Public Enemy hype man and wearable clock aficionado Flavor Flav (born William Drayton, Jr.) was allegedly involved in a heated altercation early this morning that resulted in his arrest on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor domestic violence.

What's the best way to enliven a crowd at a pep rally? Is it cheerleaders? School songs? Jock Jams Vol. 2? For one high school in upstate New York, the preferred method is to dress in blackface and re-enact Chris Brown's horrific beating of Rihanna.

Customers shopping for CDs at HMV stores in London have reported seeing an "advisory label' on Chris Brown's latest album warning patrons not to buy the album because "this man beats women."

British makeup artist and YouTube personality Lauren Luke shocked her 440,000 subscribers when she appeared battered and bruised in her latest online tutorial.

Ah, Florida, cradle of justice. One day, when they document the great codifiers of the law, the names will ring out: Hammurabi, Solon, Justinian, Blackstone, Napoleon, Tallahassee. Last Friday, the state that's hosted the politically ugly Trayvon Martin reality show handed down a 20-year sentence against Marissa Alexander.

Hugh Hefner's 21-year-old son Marston Hefner was arrested late Sunday night on charges of domestic violence, so it will probably be at least a couple years before he's allowed to put on a dumb light show at the Grammys.

I don't have much to add to this piece by Sasha Pasulka, "I'm Not Okay With Chris Brown Performing at the Grammys and I'm Not Sure Why You Are." But the internet is abuzz with reaction, and I do think it's worthy of discussion — even if I completely agree with the author.

Here's a peculiar internet phenomenon that leaves me unable to discern ironic offensiveness from earnest idiocy from cultural paradox: Angry Brides, a Facebook game in which you play an angry Indian wife who bludgeons her husband with frying pans and shoes.

A Portland-area woman whose (hopefully ex-)boyfriend allegedly shot her in the head drove her own self to the goddamn hospital, thank you. For fun she wrestles dragons and rips phone books in half with her bare hands. [Image Shutterstock]

After allegedly smacking his girlfriend upside the head with his guitar, dedicated axeman Edwin Summers offered this explanation: "When a woman messes with my guitar, she messes with my world." Did somebody celebrate Nigel Tufnel Day a bit too strenuously? Because that shit sounds straight out of This Is Spinal Tap.

We can think of so many reasons why you should never, ever abuse your wife while she's driving (or engaging in any other activity, really), but here's a very good, common-sense one: You might cause a fatal accident. Fatal to you!

Ashley Dennis, stepdaughter of former New York Governor David Paterson, was arrested and charged with assault Sunday morning for allegedly hitting her boyfriend Brian McGuinness—who was arrested and charged with choking Dennis—with a bottle and a frying pan.

"All I want is a piece of ass, is that too much to ask for?"—Iowan Melissa Minarsich, who was arrested after allegedly trying to hit her boyfriend for not being DTF. (Answer to her question: Yes.)

Just like the "Kentucky Woman" Neil Diamond sang about, Melissa Harvick "shines with her own kind of light," you could say. Earlier this week, Harvick appeared at a family court hearing as the defendant in a dispute with her husband, who had filed a domestic violence order against her. While her husband tried to explain his side of the story to the presiding judge, Harvick allegedly interrupted him and wouldn't stop talking. This prompted the judge to sentence Harvick to ten days in jail for contempt of court. The jail sentence did not please Harvick very much, as you will soon come to understand by watching the video above.
