If you haven't yet seen this clip of Anne "Call Me Crazy" Heche ripping her ex-husband on the Letterman show, well, it's hilarious beyond belief.

The actress (who will always be "Celestia" to me) was appearing on "The Late Show With David Letterman," when Dave asked about her ex-husband, Coley Lafoon.

You know how divorced people, especially when there are children involved, sometimes like to maintain their dignity by not saying horrible, nasty things about their exes on national television? Well, Celestia is not one of those people.

During the interview, Letterman asks, not so innocently, about "Homer's father, what's his deal, what's he up to now?"

Heche lets it rip: "Oh gosh . . . can you say 'lazy ass' on TV?" The audience groans. But Celestia is just getting warmed up. proceeding to go off on a rant about how his greatest accomplishment in life is coaching their son's soccer team, and she mocks him, about running around in his "little white shorts" during the soccer "rehearsals," implying that he wants her to be there to hang out with him.

"We're divorced!" Celestia shrieks. "I don't want to see you on Saturday!"

But the best bit? Letterman asks what Lafoon does for a living. "Dave," she says, “He goes out to the mailbox and he opens up the little mailbox door and goes, ‘Oh! I got a cheque from Anne! Omigosh, I got a cheque from Anne!”

But Lafoon isn't taking this sitting down, nosiree. "I was disturbed to see Anne taking out her personal frustration on the father of her child on national television," he told Us Weekly.

The way I look at it, if these two can't muster up any dignity, why should we? So go right ahead and watch it for yourself: http://video.msn.com/video.aspx/?mkt=en-US&vid=10a970e5-03ed-4f98-86b7-8...

I thought it was pretty funny

The disdain for her ex is pretty obvious, and should it have been voiced on national TV? Probably not. However, I thought she was pretty entertaining!

Mooooooooo!!!

What a cow!!! Poor Homer is doomed!!!
