Celebrity Feuds
PA PhotosThe feud between Scarlett Johansson and Lindsay Lohan goes back to when the pair were both up for the same part in The Parent Trap when they were both just 13. Despite her triumph over Scar-Jo, Li-Lo still held a grudge and allegedly scrawled offensive messages about the Lost In Translation actress on the back of a NY toilet cubicle three years ago. "I don’t know what the motivation was behind that. I remember it was something really vulgar — I mean, shockingly so, like, 'Whoa, what, who are you?'” said Scarlett of the incident.

Well it’s been quite a while now.
PA PhotosThings got dirrty in 2006 when Christina Aguilera started a quarrel with fellow diva Mariah Carey, after telling GQ magazine that she never thought the Hero singer was cool.

It is in my heart to forgive and I will keep her in my prayers,” she said.
Rex FeaturesKate Moss and Sienna Miller reportedly came to blows at a London wedding in 2007 when the model accused the Edge Of Love actress of stealing her style (boho-chic) and her friends (Rhys Ifans).

PA PhotosKim Basinger and Alec Baldwin demonstrated how not to get divorced when their split in 2002 led to a bitter custody battle and slanging match over their daughter, Ireland.

PA PhotosLauren Conrad and Heidi Montag had been friends since high school but by the end of the second season of their sort-of-reality TV show, The Hills, Heidi had moved out of their shared apartment and the pair refused to be photographed together.

PA PhotosParis Hilton and Mischa Barton allegedly got nasty over their shared love of rocker boyfriends. The pair fell out over Cisco Adler, after they were both dated him for a time. Mischa said of her rival: “She seems to hate everyone around her age who is more successful. Silly b***h.” Ouch!
PA PhotosThey played best friends in Sex And The City, but in real life Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall don’t get on quite as well. “If you're spending 18 hours a day at work, the last thing you want to do is go and have a drink with the people who you just spent the day with,” Kim said with brutal honesty. The actress also admitted that she held out for more money before agreeing to do the SATC film: “I felt that the offer was not worthy of what the three of us had contributed. And I spoke up about it.”
Rex FeaturesFriends Denise Richards and Heather Locklear both divorced their respective partners, Charlie Sheen and Richie Sambora, in 2006. The two couples had socialised closely with each other but it was a surprise when Richards hooked up with Heather’s ex just three months later. “You know, she [Heather] wasn't my best friend. She was a close friend in the last couple of years. I hadn't known her my whole life,” Denise said. Oh, that’s OK then!
