NBA legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar wrote a 2,700-word treatise for HuffPost about why he loves Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise, "How the Real Housewives Have Made America Better."
In the post, Abdul-Jabbar calls Bravo's Andy Cohen "the Andy Warhol of the 21st Century" and describes the "Real Housewives" shows as "a glitzy window into mainstream values, if not mainstream lifestyle," saying they "[offer] more insight into American consciousness than most TV scripted dramas."
"Real Housewives of Orange County" star Tamra Barney joined HuffPost Live Monday and reacted to Abdul-Jabbar's post.
"There's not too many articles that are written with that title," she said with a laugh. "America better? Why, because everyone feels better about themselves after seeing us?"
As HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin read excerpts from Abdul-Jabbar's post, in which he simultaneously extols the Real Housewives and says "their behavior shows...a smug elitism of the undeserving," Barney stopped him to react.

Guy Davidi, the Israeli co-director of Oscar-nominated documentary "5 Broken Cameras" joined HuffPost Live Thursday to speak out against claims that he and his Palestinian co-director Emad Burnat should be charged with slander because their film was critical of the Israeli occupation.
Israeli nonprofit Consensus has petitioned the Attorney General claiming that Davidi and Burnat — whose film traces the story of Burnat and his village's nonviolent response as Israel's settlements expanded into Palestinian territories in the occupied West Bank — should be charged with slander and prosecuted for "incitement."
"The media in Israel is quite nourishing this story and supporting it," Davidi told HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin Thursday. "Obviously Israeli audiences are supporting this kind of lawsuit that will probably limit filmmakers in the future to create films that criticize the Israeli occupation."
Israel's outgoing Culture and Sports Minister Limor Livnat encouraged Israeli filmmakers to practice "self-censorship" and noted that she...

'5 Broken Cameras' is one of the best movies of the year. And I know many, many people in the Academy who've seen it and were just amazed and moved by this film."

Michael Moore and Emad Burnat, the Oscar-nominated director behind "5 Broken Cameras" who was detained by immigration officials at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday night, appeared on HuffPost Live on Wednesday to discuss the incident.
"It was strange for me last night when I arrived at the airport in Los Angeles, because I came to the United States this year six times. This is the first time that's happened to me," Burnat told HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin. "They started asking me questions and taking pictures. They were asking me for documents and invitations. I told them I had the hotel reservation, I am the Oscar nominee and I came here for this purpose. I had the invitation in my iPhone and I had all documents on my iPhone. They told me, 'We don't care, we need more documents, we need papers, and if you don't give us documents we will send you back home.

"Totally Biased" host W. Kamau Bell stopped by HuffPost Live on Monday, and explained his infamous "fuck Tyler Perry" joke from his 2010 comedy album "Face Full of Flour."
Talking to to host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, Bell explained that prior to Obama's election, he felt like black people needed to stick together on all matters of politics and culture. "But now that we had a black president, we didn't have to have a unified front, so I wanted to say something that had been burning in my mind." That sentiment? "Fuck Tyler Perry!"
Bell pointed out that Obama's America didn't quite present the safe haven for minorities to the extent that he hoped at the time it would, but regardless, hearing "fuck Tyler Perry" out loud was a catharsis for many. (He was quick to point out that he does not have a problem with Tyler Perry personally, but was simply relieved...

The directors of Oscar-nominated documentary "5 Broken Cameras" joined HuffPost Live to discuss their film and why Israel is wrong to try to brand it an "Israeli film."
Palestinian Emad Burnat and Israeli Guy Davidi told HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin that their film, a firsthand account of Israel's settlement expansion on Palestinian territories in the occupied West Bank through the construction of a wall of separation, is first and foremost a Palestinian story. This contradicts the Israeli embassy to the United States, which tweeted last month that "two Israeli films" ("5 Broken Cameras" and "The Gatekeepers") were nominated for a Best Documentary Feature Oscar.
"This is a Palestinian story," Davidi said. "That was challenging for Israeli society," he added, noting that attempts to brand "5 Broken Cameras" as an Israeli film ignore the context of the film and "completely [eliminate] the Palestinian content of the film, the Palestinian director of the film."

Dror Moreh, the Israeli director of the Oscar-nominated documentary "The Gatekeepers" told HuffPost Live Monday that American Jews cherish the idea of Israel too much.
Moreh's film, which was nominated for a Best Documentary Feature Oscar, features surprisingly candid interviews with six retired directors of Israel's domestic spy agency, the Shin Bet, and offers a sobering look into the targeted killings behind Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. It has sparked a collective soul-searching for many both in Israel and the United States.
"There is something that I felt while I am here in America, that most of the majority of the Jewish population here are cherishing Israel," Moreh told HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, adding that American Jews look to Israel as a post-Holocaust "safe haven." Moreh argues that this had led the American Jewish population to the "wrong conclusion...that they have to support Israel no matter what."
