Celebrity Twitter Feuds
E-mail? Phone calls? Face-to-face? Far too passé for the rich and famous
GettyCharlotte Church vs. Katie Hopkins
Forget Mayweather and Pacquiao, the next #FightNight could be between Charlotte Church and Katie Hopkins. The Welsh singer has challenged the controversial TV personality to a charity boxing match, after Katie took a nasty jab at her on Twitter.
The row between Katie and Charlotte began on Sunday, when Hopkins, who promised to leave the UK if Labour won, tweeted the Welsh singer after she was pictured attending an anti-austerity protest in Cardiff following the Tory's shock election win.
She wrote: "Oi!@charlotechurch wind your neck in. Your Welsh AND you lost. Own your problems."(sic)
Charlotte replied: "I have no interest in conversing with you. You lack humility AND you can't spell. Parasite."
She later challenged the controversial personality to a charity boxing match.
Katie has yet to accept the challenge, but betting giants Paddy Power have just offered the star £50k to see Hopkins and Church take to the ring. The winning fighter could donate the money to the charity of their choice.
PA PhotosKhloe Kardashian vs. Amber Rose
This pair are never going to be mates. Khloe and Amber's spat began when Amber called out Khloe's younger half-sister Kylie Jenner for dating rapper Tyga, who is the ex of her pal Blac Chyna.
The 31-year-old told radio station Power 105.1: "She's a baby, she needs to go to bed at 7 o'clock and relax. [Tyga] should be ashamed of himself. He has a beautiful woman and a baby and left that for a 16-year-old who just turned 17."
Khloe responded: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Please stop talking about us in interviews mama. None of us talk about you." Ouch! It got even worse, find out the full details about their Twitter spat here.

Frances Bean Cobain hit out at singer Lana del Rey, who recently said "I wish I was dead already" in a Guardian interview.
Frances tweeted: "The death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize. I'll never know my father because he died young, and it becomes a desirable feat because people like you think it's 'cool.' Well, it's f**king not. Embrace life, because you only get one life. The people you mentioned wasted that life. Don't be one of those people. You're too talented to waste it away."
After being told by a Lana fan to shut up, Cobain added: "I'm not attacking anyone. I have no animosity towards Lana. I was just trying to put things in perspective from personal experience."
But Lana attempted to wrap the feud up, tweeting: "it's all good. He was asking me a lot about your dad I said I liked him because he was talented not because he died young...the other half of what I said wasn't really related to the people he mentioned/ I don't find that part of music glam either".
PA PhotosSylvester Stallone vs. Bruce Willis
We thought these Hollywood action men were BFFs after appearing in The Expendables together. However, it would appear that there is no love lost between them - at all. After accusing Willis of acting like a "diva" during filming, Stallone took to his Twitter account to truly vent about his former co-star - and to announce his replacement: "WILLIS OUT… HARRISON FORD IN !!!! GREAT NEWS !!!!! Been waiting years for this!!!!"
In reference to the Die Hard actor, Sly continued: "GREEDY AND LAZY... A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE." Hmmm... Anyone feel a Rocky V Die Hard's John McClane Avengers-style movie mash-up coming here?
PA Photos/ Rex FeaturesKaty Perry vs. Lady Gaga
After Lady Gaga released the much-hyped video for her single Alejandro, in which she dresses up as a latex-clad nun and swallows a cross, Katy Perry took to her Twitter to have a mini-rant: "Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke." Err... we understand that your father is a pastor and you were raised with deep religious values, Katy, but surely your ex-husband Russell Brand has made some fart jokes in the past?
PA PhotosDemi Moore vs. Kim Kardashian
Party girl Kim Kardashian got herself into Demi Moore’s bad books when she posted a picture of herself, Kelly Rowland and Serena Williams during a night out, with the caption: "Big pimpin. Love u girls!" Demi swooped onto Ms K, tweeting: "A Pimp is nothing more than a slave owner!" and "If we want to end slavery we need to stop glorifying the ‘pimp’ culture."
Rex FeaturesLindsay Lohan vs. Samantha Ronson
Oh dear. During their ill-fated relationship, Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan had various public spats – most of them over Twitter! Lindsay would tweet things such as: "You JUST told me that your friends are worth more than I am to your family." On another night, Lindsay proclaimed that Samantha had been cheating on her, tweeting: "I was right all along. Cheat. Being cheated on does wonders to you," and "PLEASE leave me ALONE. And stop staying in the room below me, you’ve woken me and my mother up. Go to bed. Keep cheating, you win." Strangely, LiLo changed her tact a mere hour later, writing: "Go to bed. U work hard & u need some rest. Miss u. Be well xx" Hmm...
Rex FeaturesSamantha Ronson & Lindsay Lohan vs. Joan Rivers
Never one to mince her words, comedian Joan Rivers took to Twitter to pop a joke at the actress: "Lindsay Lohan said she wouldn’t mind being under oath because she thought Oath was a Norwegian ski instructor." After the wickedly funny comedienne made these remarks, Sam came to ex Lindsay’s aid. She defended Ms Lohan by tweeting: "Hey Joan Rivers – you have collagen older than Lindsay, pick on someone your own age, oh wait, I guess people that old can’t hear." Aww... and eww! The chivalry didn’t go unmissed by LiLo, who tweeted: "thank you ; ) x"
PA PhotosDannii Minogue vs. Kelly Osbourne
The infamous feuding between Sharon Osbourne and Dannii Minogue didn’t stay within the last X Factor series Sharon participated in – it’s still very much alive today. After the release of Dannii’s autobiography, Sharon’s daughter Kelly fumed on Twitter: "The best thing to happen to Dannii’s career was that my mother hated her, she needs to shut her mouth and concentrate on motherhood... Trust me when I say Dannii is the devil." Bit harsh there, Kel? It wasn’t the end though: "Dannii you are so lucky that I respect Simon enough not to tell the truth about what really happened. Wa wa wa you poor middle aged victim."
PA PhotosPerez Hilton vs. Will.I.Am
Perez Hilton surely must be crowned king of all Twitter feuds. The celebrity blogger’s most dramatic online spat was with Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am after an awards show attended by both men. Perez tweeted: "I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke." He later posted a video of himself in tears online, his wound clearly visible. Will.I.Am later denied the allegations and also filmed a video message. It later turned out that it was one of the Black Eyed Peas’ security men who had punched the blogger from behind.
PA Photos/ Rex FeaturesPerez Hilton vs. Lindsay Lohan
Perez and Lindsay Lohan have a much-publicised love/hate (more of the latter) relationship. After the blogger posted an article about Lindsay’s younger sister Ali, Lindsay took to Twitter: "Humpty Dumpty fell off a wall, no WAIT... it’s @perezhilton!", adding a picture of the famous nursery rhyme egg-character. Perez responded by posting various links from the troubled star's past, tweeting: "Game on!" Lindsay went on to post further ranting Tweets, such as "DENIAL and INSECURITY should be his blog".
PA Photos/ Rex FeaturesPerez Hilton vs. John Mayer
As with Lindsay, Mr Hilton also shares a love/hate relationship with singer John Mayer – at times they would exchange friendly banter on Twitter, even going so far that the crooner invited Perez over to his New York flat, but, more often than not, they exchanged venomous Tweets. After the Will.I.Am-punching saga, John tweeted: "From the heart, what you experienced these last 24 hrs is a profound lack of control. You can’t blog the world, my friend." But, naturally, he didn’t leave it at that: "I also want to train you in an old martial art called ‘Never Call A Black Dude a F*ggot Jitsu."
PA PhotosPerez Hilton vs. Demi Moore
Before Perez swore to a TV chat show host never to feature minors in a bad light on his website again, he would frequently post stories about Demi Moore’s girls, one of which dressed rather provocatively during a night out. Demi took to Twitter and wrote: "Let me ask all of you, what is it called when someone is telling people to look and focus on a child’s ‘boobs and ass’ while providing photos?" Perez was quick to hit back, tweeting: "What context? I would not let me 15 year old daughter dress like that under ANY context. You are delusional and slightly senile![sic]" Ouch.
PA PhotosPerez Hilton vs. Lily Allen
Never one to shy away from self-promotion, in February 2009 Hilton tweeted that he should be cast in Lily Allen’s upcoming video. Apparently not a fan, Lily tweeted that this wasn’t an option, as she had "already cast the jealous and bitter lonely old queen role." Perez was quick to tweet: "If I wanted to be a f***ed up Brit, I’d rather be Amy Winehouse – whose got talent.[sic]" Lily went on to tell him to "go away you little parasite’". Finally, Perez had the last word by thanking her and her label for advertising on his site. Touché!
Rex Features/ PA PhotosLily Allen vs. Justin Bieber
Back when Justin Bieber was a constantly trending topic on Twitter, his music, apparently, had yet to grace the ears of Ms Lily Allen. After a few Tweets about the singer and some attacks from die-hard Biebs fans, Lily tweeted: "I had no idea who this #justinbieber person was. Just found out he’s that kid that’s always on the TV when I’m in the gym. He’s about 5 right?" We’re pretty sure she knows who he is now!
PA PhotosCourtney Love vs. Lily Allen
After 2009's NME Awards, it was reported that Lily Allen and Courtney Love got into a physical fight. Instead of simply denying this, Lily took to Twitter to write a few things about Ms Love herself. After calling her a "paranoid drug addled lunatic", Lily wrote: "I would never fight with her, as a rule I don’t pick on crazy old ladies."
PA PhotosCourtney Love vs. Taylor Momsen
The similarities between these two ladies are purely outwardly, it seems. A disgruntled Courtney took to Twitter to complain that the Gossip Girl star was stealing her style: "Why does Taylor Whatsit deeply disturb me?" And then, she tweeted directly at Taylor: "I don't watch TV or read teen mags and gossip rags so I wouldn't know [you]. Do not still 'like my music' please." We’re sure you’ve swayed her now, Court!
PA PhotosNick Cannon vs. Eminem
We all know about the he-said, she-said drama between Eminem and Mariah Carey – the rapper claims they dated, the singer vehemently denies it. After rapping about Nick Cannon’s wife on his album Relapse ([i]Nick Cannon, you better back the f--- up, I'm not playing, I want her back, you punk,/i>), Nick Cannon went online to vent, calling the rapper "Slim Lamey", and tweeting: "Quote of the day, ‘Never argue with fools because from a distance people can’t tell who is who.’" He also added the rather cryptic fighting words: "This ain’t checker. This is chess!" Umm... game on?
PA PhotosNick Cannon vs. Chelsea Handler
It’s never wise to pick a fight with a comedian. After hearing that Nick Cannon was going to be performing stand-up live, funny lady Chelsea Handler tweeted: "I just heard Nick Cannon is starting a comedy tour. Who's going to do the comedy?" Nick took this rather personally, tweeting soon after: "Everyone knows @Chelseahandler had sex with the head of E! for her show." And, alluding to her rumoured romance with rapper 50 Cent, "@50cent wasn't hitting @chelseahandler they was just sharing testosterone tips." Below the belt, much?
Rex Features50 Cent vs. P Diddy
After rapper P Diddy allegedly took a swipe at fellow hip hopper 50 Cent, Fiddy replied, not in person, but via Twitter, blasting Diddy as a "b*tch" and writing that he "sucks the life out of everyone" (sheesh!). He even went so far as to start a Twitter petition against P Diddy, trying to stop the rapper from "exploiting" deceased artist Notorious B.I.G., writing: "When was the last time Diddy really was ‘biggin up his brother,’ not biggin up his bank?"
PA PhotosMiley Cyrus vs. Justin Gaston
After pop princess Miley Cyrus and then-beau Justin Gaston broke up, they took to Twitter (as one does) to mend their broken hearts. Justin tweeted: "People mistake stupidity for bravery way to easily." Miley responded: "Yeah. I love when people mistake bravery with writing a few stupid tweets trying to make it seem like they don’t care. You’re afraid to love." Sheesh – deep words there!
PA Photos/ Rex FeaturesMiley Cyrus vs. Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato
You’d hope that all the Disney girls were best mates! Sadly, Britney and Christina were the first to teach us this isn’t in fact the case, and Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were soon to follow. Back when Selena and Demi were bffs, they would frequently tweet links to videos they made of themselves. Miley then in turn took to her Twitter to mock the two girls’ videos, re-enacting the first vid with a friend. That doesn’t sound very Hannah Montana to us, Miles!
PA PhotosSelena Gomez vs. Demi Lovato
Ah, but how the tides do change. After Demi started dating Miley’s brother, the two teen stars became overnight mates, with Miley tweeting a pic of the them on a red carpet, writing: "Now this is what true friendship looks like. None of that Hollywood crp. @ddlovato I miss you =]" Referring to the "Hollywood crp" bit of the tweet, Demi replied: "Yeah... It's just kind of hard to miss somebody that I don't know anymore," talking about her now non-existent friendship with Selena Gomez. Selena stayed quiet on Twitter, but said in an interview: "True friends don’t let their friends or family be mean to you. If you can’t trust somebody, you can’t be friends with them." Yowza – wonder what went down there?
Rex Features/PA PhotosBritney Spears vs. Jason Alexander
It’s fair to say that Ms Spears has had her fair share of feuds in the past, along with a whole lot of rumours she’s had to dispel. Not normally one to comment, the star took to her Twitter after a magazine reported that her ex-boyfriend, Jason Trawick, was beating her, supported by statements from her ex-husband Jason Alexander. Before taking off for a birthday holiday in Hawaii with Trawick, B tweeted: "PS - Star Magazine, Radar Online, Jason Alexander and the rest of you liars, Ya'll can kiss my lily white southern Louisiana a**!" Nicely put, Ms Spears.
Rex Features/ PA PhotosFrankie Muniz vs. Shia LaBeouf
Hmm, this one reeks a tiny bit of jealousy to us: actors Shia LaBeouf and Frankie Muniz (remember him?) used to be child star rivals, but the feud seems to have carried over into adulthood. After Shia took a dig at Frankie in an interview, saying: "You could have put Frankie Muniz into any of the movies I've been in and those movies still would've been No. 1," Frankie tweeted: "It's been 12 years now. I don't know you. Thanks." After a Shia-fan called him "just awful," Frankie Twit-replied: "Yeah, but being retired with $40,000,000.00 at 19 has not been awful. Good luck moving out of your moms house before you're 35." Not too mature, if you ask us.
PA PhotosDenise Van Outen vs. Natalie Cassidy
It’s not just US celebs who are feuding on Twitter! After Natalie Cassidy criticised Denise Van Outen for going back to work shortly after the birth of her daughter Betsy, Denise was quick to hit back after Natalie appeared on TV with her newborn baby. "Natalie’s on Lorraine [Kelly’s] show not promoting her reality pregnancy/new mum show. Isn’t that work???? She said she did the show for money, so yes, that is work. Pot calling!!!!" And that wasn’t the end of it: "We put our family picture out [to] press to raise money in for Great Ormond Street, she did a family shot and put the money in her pocket... She can stick her trumpet where the sun don’t shine!!!" Meow!
Rex FeaturesAlan Sugar vs. Kirstie Allsopp
Now this is a pairing we never thought we’d see. Fuelled by a remark from Kirstie that stated Alan was "shockingly uncharitable" on the Celebrity Apprentice (which she appeared on), Lord Sugar lashed out, calling her "a lying cow" and "the worst celeb". The feud continued when Lord Sugar (or a member of his team, as he says) sent a Tweet about his newly released autobiography during the two minutes silence for Remembrance Day for which Kirstie criticised harshly. Lord Sugar proceeded to make some very un-gentlemanly remarks about her weight. Kirstie later stated that her account had been hacked, and that she hadn’t written about the Apprentice star. Hmm...
Rex FeaturesAlan Sugar vs. Chris Evans
We guess Lord Sugar doesn’t leave the anger in the boardroom, then! Both having new autobiographies to promote, the Lord took a jibe at the radio host, stating that only people who worked in shops bought Chris' book, and everyone who wanted to buy his own autobiography were snowed in. Evans then tweeted: "Is @Lord_Sugar saying that no one who works in a shop should read his book? What a bizarre message for a retail entrepreneur!" Lord Sugar was far from biting his tongue, accusing Chris of drinking and calling him "Ginger". After further back and forth, Evans ended the online-spat by tweeting: "I'm out of the @Lord_Sugar nonsense. His joke valve has gone haywire. Normal service resumed. Merry Christmas to one and all. Ho ho ho."
Rex Features/PA PhotosAlan Sugar vs. Chris Moyles
Lord Sugar is a feisty one indeed! Not one to shy away from controversy, Alan tweeted to his followers to keep an eye out for a man featured in the next episode of The Apprentice as he looked like Chris Moyles. After watching the episode, the radio DJ tweeted: "Excuse me Lord Sugar, are you saying that the fella who looks like me in tonight's Apprentice is a fat man by any chance…?! How rude!" The Lord quickly back-pedalled, writing: "Chris Moyles, who mentioned FAT? You have a hang up about this, chill man. He just looks like you darling." Glad that’s sorted, then!
PA PhotosJim Carrey vs. Tiger & Elin Nordegren
Although we love Jim Carrey’s flicks, we’re not quite sure about the statement he made about Elin Nordegren on Twitter. After Tiger Wood’s many infidelities were revealed, most took sympathy with his soon-to-be ex-wife. Not Jim! He Tweeted: "Tiger Woods owes nothing 2 anyone but himself. 2 please his father he gave up his childhood and his freedom in the world. That’s enough!" He went even further, tweeting: "No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity... Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason." Eek!
Rex FeaturesKanye West vs. Matt Lauer
Ahh, Kanye. We love your music, but we reckon sometimes it might do you well to keep your thoughts in private circles, not online. During his interview on The Today Show, hosted by Matt Lauer, the infamous video of him barging on stage during Taylor Swift’s MTV acceptance speech was played. Feeling that this was out of order, the rapper later tweeted: "While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the ‘MTV’ under me with audio!!!!!!! I don’t mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show… I feel very alone very used very tortured very forced very misunderstood very hollow very very misused. I don’t trust anyone but myself!" Twitter does seem to evoke deep emotions, doesn’t it?
Rex FeaturesM.I.A vs. a Times reporter
We all know singer/rapper M.I.A. is an outspoken one, but she seemed over-the-top agitated after an unflattering interview with The Times reporter Lynn Hirschberg was published. In fact, she went so far as to post the journalist’s mobile phone number on her Twitter, encouraging her followers to call her if they didn’t like the article, too. Hirschberg, taking the high road, later stated: "It's a fairly unethical thing to do, but I don't think it's surprising. She's a provocateur, and provocateurs want to be provocative...[it's] infuriating and not surprising."
Rex FeaturesHeidi Montag vs. Spencer Pratt
We have to admit, the Pratts are two of our favourite guilty-pleasure tweeters. Back when these two were "separated", which all turned out to be yet another publicity stunt, Spencer took to Twitter to announce that there would soon be a sex tape of his ex-wife Heidi floating about: "The sex tape will not feature any bisexuality It will however feature trisexuality. Also – a triceratops." Err... Heidi hit back with a succinct "F U!!!!!" Wonder if they were sat next to one another, giggling?
