Celebrities have it pretty good. They do what they love for a living, have teams of people to help them with virtually every aspect of life, and have the money to pay for almost anything their heart may desire. But what’s one thing we common folk have that celebrities crave? Privacy. And it seems Hollywood’s finest seem to forget two things from time to time. 1. Everyone is watching them all of the time and 2. The internet is forever. Every deleted post, tweet, picture, and video will magically reappear on media outlets if it contains something juicy or, in these cases, completely ridiculous. This alone is enough to make a small momentarily lapse in judgment become a week long discussion. But add in the fact that many celebrities see each other over and over at the same annual galas, award shows, and parties? And you’ll get cliques, feuds, and friction. Now when friction and social media are combined: Watch out! It gets pretty ludicrous. Just take a look below.
15 Drake Bell VS Caitlyn Jenner
[caption id="attachment_10794" align="alignnone" width="570"] via:http://i.huffpost.com/[/caption]
You may be asking “Who IS Drake Bell?” Well, my friends, let me take you back to Nickelodeon 2004. He was the heartthrob on this hit tween show to Josh Peck’s goofy, awkward (but funny) high strung character. After the show was canceled in 2007, Drake seems to have gotten work doing voice overs for cartoons, but it seems he didn’t live up to the A list status he thought he was signing up for. And claims to have declared bankruptcy. So now that you have some back story, what does he have to do with Caitlyn Jenner? Cut to Caitlyn’s now infamous Vanity Fair cover and Twitter follower record. Celebrities from all genres were congratulating Caitlyn on her cover and courage. So what does Drake Bell do? He decides it’s a good idea to tweet “Sorry…still calling you Bruce.” Face Palm. Caitlyn never responded. She didn’t have to. Drake received backlash from all over. Many to the tune of “And who are you?” (because, let’s be honest, calling him a celebrity is a stretch.) He later apologized profusely, but only after becoming defensive tweeting “Calm down children” and claiming he just didn’t want to “forget [Jenner’s] legacy.” Ok, Mr. Bell. Your attempt at staying relevant may have worked for a few minutes. But I doubt that’s the attitude you want to be remembered for.
14 Chris Brown VS Andy Levy
[caption id="attachment_10796" align="alignnone" width="522"] via:http://www.killerhiphop.com/[/caption]
A few years ago, Chris Brown had a rough time accepting the fact that people hated him for beating the absolute pulp out of then girlfriend, Rihanna. In his eyes, that has nothing to do with his music so WHY won’t people buy his album or book him for interviews?! Because image is everything in mainstream music, Chris. Image is everything. And your adorably wholesome image went down the drain pretty quickly once it was confirmed the woman in the leaked photo really WAS Rihanna. This seemed to put him into a social media rage and he even though a chair through a window while on set at Good Morning America (Not really helping the hot head image, brah.) But it was Andy Levy of Fox New’s “Red Eye,” that had one of the most memorable Twitter interactions with Brown. After Chris tweeted “No more planking for me unless it’s on a sexy lady! Lolless.” Levy retweeted Brown’s post cleverly adding “You spelled ‘punching’ wrong.” Brown responded by telling Levy that children are better behaved than Levy. After receiving a barrage of tweets from Brown’s fans, Levy took to “Red Eye,” to deliver the most insincere apology ever in which he says sorry for drawing attention to the fact that Brown put Rihanna in the hospital. I encourage you to look it up on YouTube.
13 Nicki Minaj VS Taylor Swift
[caption id="attachment_10797" align="alignnone" width="580"] via:http://i.perezhilton.com[/caption]
This year’s MTV VMA’s caused quite a bit of a ruckus on the interweb in more ways than one. But it all kicked off when Nicki Minaj expressed her displeasure with the network by posting a series of tweets referencing the fact that she did not receive any nominations and that if she was “a different type of artist” that her video for Anaconda would have been nominated. She went on to say “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year,” and expressed how black female artists are not “rewarded” for impacting pop culture. Ok, Nicki is expressing her opinion, as she often does; nothing out of the ordinary there. But wait; here comes Taylor Swift from left field tweeting “@NICKIMINAJ I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..” Confused by her reply (like the rest of us), Nicki writes “Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this. @taylorswift13” Taylor, realizing her foot is now in her mouth, quickly apologizes and invites Nicki on stage with her if she wins.
12 Selena Gomez VS Demi Lovato
[caption id="attachment_10816" align="alignnone" width="497"] via:perezhilton.com[/caption]
These two Disney sweethearts were known for being the best of friends on and off screen. So what happened? Apparently Demi unfollowed Selena on Twitter and then immediately tweeted a meme that read “Swimming away from your b---s---“ with the caption “Bye.” She later confirmed she and Selena had grown apart stating “people change.” Selena never responded via social media. Smart girl.
11 Zayn Malik VS Max George
[caption id="attachment_10799" align="alignnone" width="500"] via:www.radiotimes.com[/caption]
Boyband fight! This is one of those feuds where there simply has to be more to the story. That or Zayn is REALLY, REALLY bored and needs a hobby. It all started when Max posted a picture of himself and Usher and Zayn replied “geek..” Max replies lightheartedly and claims there’s no drama it’s just “flirting.” Ok. The conversation through public tweets continues, however, with Zayn getting more and more agitated asking why Max is still talking to him. Zayn eventually calls Max a wannabe, Thomas Parker of The Wanted then gets involved, as does Louis Tomlinson of One Direction. Insults start flying ranging from ragging on each other’s vocal ability, to Max telling Zayn to “stay off the bud” to Zayn calling Max...” chlamydia boy.” What the absolute eff?! What is going on? Why are they having this conversation over Twitter? And where are their publicists?! All of you boys- time out now!
10 Kanye West VS Jimmy Kimmel
[caption id="attachment_10800" align="alignnone" width="635"] via:www.nydailynews.com[/caption]
Are any of us even surprised when Kanye goes on a rampage anymore? It seems like he’s so vocal ALL OF THE TIME that it’s almost like the boy who cried wolf. It all started when Jimmy spoofed Kanye’s one hour interview with BBC Radio 1 by having two kids read transcripts of the interview. Kanye became very offended and took to Twitter. In all caps. For several minutes. His tweets ranged from bashing the spoof for making fun of “the first piece of honest media in years” (uh…) to reminding Kimmel that he attended his family’s wedding (ok…) to telling Jimmy that Sarah Silverman is funnier than Kimmel. Alrighty then. Kimmel’s response? “if it’s not too much trouble, @kanyewest, would you mind using @jimmykimmel? Thanks.” He also agreed Silverman is funnier than him (#WreckItRalph) and referenced being at Kanye’s wedding as well. He later explained that in a phone conversation with Kanye, Mr. West told him “Your life is going to be much better if you apologize.” Kimmel did just that.
9 Sinead O’Connor VS Miley Cyrus
[caption id="attachment_10801" align="alignnone" width="1200"] via:mashable.com[/caption]
Ok. So remember that lady that sang “Nothing compares 2 U”? No? Ok, you know that woman that ripped up a picture of the pope on SNL a long time ago? No. Ok, well, anyway… that is Sinead O’Connor. Back in 2013, Sinead, who has been out of the mainstream entertainment scene for awhile, wrote an open letter to Miley warning her not to let the music industry make a “prostitute” out of her. It all started because Miley said the music video for “Wrecking Ball” was inspired by the video for “Nothing compares...” Sinead took the opportunity to give young (and relevant) Cyrus advice. Ranging from telling her she is being exploited and not empowering herself or other women, to giving her love advice warning her not to mistake lust for love. The entire tone of the letter is overbearing and a tad judgmental, especially coming from someone who is apparently not close to the Cyrus family. Miley responded by tweeting “Before Amanda Bynes…There was…” (Not cool, Miles. Not cool.) Sinead continued to communicate with Miley via O’Connor’s website telling her “I mean really really… who advises you?...Have you any idea how stupid and dangerous it is to mock people for suffering illness?” And adding that MIley should educate herself “if [she’s] not too busy getting [her] t–s out to read.” EEEK. Miley responded that she was too busy hosting SNL to write Sinead an open letter.
8 Meek Mill VS Drake
[caption id="attachment_10802" align="alignnone" width="600"] via:hollywoodlife.com[/caption]
This is another beef that was stirred up by this year’s MTV VMA’s. Apparently, celebrities don’t like being compared to each other. At all. Enter Meek Mill. This summer he tweeted “Stop comparing drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out!” Uh. Ok? Of course, Drizzy’s fans were not having that and went after Mill via social media. How did Drake respond? With two songs, of course: “Charged Up” and “Back to Back.”
7 Perez Hilton VS Lady Gaga
[caption id="attachment_10803" align="alignnone" width="991"] via:gagacheat.blogspot.com[/caption]
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton seems to have tamed his act since becoming a celebrity himself. Still gossipy, but very rarely ruthless anymore, the tone of the blog may have changed because Perez grew up. Or because he actually started becoming friends with the people he was writing about. One friend he seemed to be very close to was the ever unique Lady Gaga. Then out of nowhere the two are suddenly at odds. Perez claimed Gaga was poisoned by fame. Gaga accused Perez of stalking her tweeting “STAY AWAY FROM ME + MY FAMILY YOU ARE SICK TRYING TO RENT AN APARTMENT IN MY BUILDING TO STALK ME. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!” The two went back and forth for months via different media outlets. Finally, they called a truce earlier this year.
6 Lil Kim VS Nicki Minaj
[caption id="attachment_10804" align="alignnone" width="960"] via:www.highsnobiety.com[/caption]
Remember Lil Kim? Raunchy, talented female rapper from the 90’s who loved controversy? It seems she feel’s Nicki’s entire image is a little too familiar. It’s unclear as to how or why this feud started but the two fearless ladies had it out through multiple media outlets including magazine interviews and tweets. Nicki then made a comment at the BET awards about following your dreams. Apparently many, including Lil Kim, feel this was a subtle, yet clear reference to Kim. Ladies! Can’t we all just get along?
5 Ciara VS Rihanna
[caption id="attachment_10807" align="alignnone" width="850"] via:uglycleanbroke87.blogspot.com[/caption]
These two have been going at it for years. It all started when Ciara told Joan Rivers she had recently seen a not so nice Rihanna at a party. Rihanna responded with this tweet “My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme." Well, damn, RiRi. Ciara then made it clear she wasn’t taking any ish from Rihanna by replying “Trust me Rhianna [sic] u dont want to see me on or off the stage” They eventually apologized and made up. But then in 2013 Ciara addressed the feud in a radio interview stating “I don't know what her problem is. I think she's nuts right now, like, whatever's going on, because for me, it doesn't make any sense.” She then tweeted “I am baffled. The obsession really makes no sense. This is getting out of hand...," she posted. "Somebody please point her in the right direction, cuz she clearly needs love and affection..:)” Watch out, girl! I don’t know if I’d want to be on Rihanna’s bad side.
4 Rebecca Black VS Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez
[caption id="attachment_10808" align="alignnone" width="624"] via:mycolumbuspower.com[/caption]
Now this feud feels like a scene from mean girls…if Justin Beiber was Regina George. Rebecca Black received a lot of flack from all over for her hit song “Friday.” (It is so catchy, though!) Apparently, she was also getting picked on by celebrities. Black obviously was crushing on the Biebs and made comments alluding to that in her interviews. At the same time, she was also being compared to Demi and Selena. The three teen idols tweeted back and forth to each other poking fun at Black. Bieber even tweeted “Sunday comes after Saturday? Weird” Hey! Stop picking on the new girl, guys!
3 Nick Cannon VS Chelsea Handler
[caption id="attachment_10809" align="alignnone" width="634"] via:www.dailymail.co.uk[/caption]
This feud is just bizarre. First off, nice guy Nick Cannon was in a feud? And secondly, who takes anything Chelsea Handler says as a serious insult? Especially if you’re a celebrity. Here’s how the feud began. After hearing Nick Cannon would be doing a comedy tour Chelsea tweeted “I just heard nick cannon is starting a comedy tour. Who's going to do the comedy?” This simple joke seemed to cause Nick to partake in a Twitter tirade. First he responded with “Wow @chelseahandler I actually used to have respect for you as a comic. But for one artist to diss another in the same art form. #Tasteless.” But then he started responding with some not so tasteful jokes himself including “Everyone knows @Chelseahandler had sex with the head of E! for her show. So when it gets cancelled does he get residual p---- for the reruns? @Chelseahandler Looks like she got hit in the face with a hot bag of nickels!” and “@Chelseahandler @Howardstern @Eminem Why do all these angry ugly whitetrash folks want beef with me? What I do? I'm a harmless corny dude.” Nick later revealed the truth behind his attack on Chelsea: He was already upset with Handler for “picking on” his wife Mariah Carey on Chelsea Lately. Really? Really…
2 Adam Levine VS Lady Gaga
[caption id="attachment_10810" align="alignnone" width="511"] via:www.spetteguless.it[/caption]
Adam Levine is not one to hold back. He’ll voice his opinion whether it’s popular or not, and no one seems to fault him for it (at least not as they do other celebrities.) In 2013 he tweeted “Ugh..recycling old art for a younger generation doesn't make you an artist. It makes you an art teacher,” and “I unabashedly love writing and performing pop music for both myself AND everyone around me. That's It. It doesn't need any extra sauce.” No one really knew what he was referring to until Gaga responded with “uh oh guys the art police is here.”
1 Kim Kardashian VS Adrienne Bailon
[caption id="attachment_10811" align="alignnone" width="1024"] via:www.brunchnews.com[/caption]
Former girlfriend of Rob Kardashian was tired of being asked about her relationship with Kim K’s younger brother and the Kardashian Klan. In an interview with a magazine, she outright blamed being associated with the family for the fall of her career. (Um… Maybe it was your involvement with Cheetah Girls? I’m just saying…) Kim took on the role of protective big sister via Twitter stating “So sad when people try to kick my brother when he is down. #FamilyForver” and “Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian.” (She has a point.) Bailon’s response? She posted this on Instagram “Fame and a career are two different things. I've always had a career. I have been working hard since I was 15 years old. Being someone's 'girlfriend' was never what I wanted to be famous for. What makes you 'famous' isn't always what you want to be 'labeled' as, or known for. If anyone should understand that...It should be you. I also stated in the article that none of this would have stopped me from being in love and being in that relationship. I just would have gone about it differently. You can love someone just as much in private. We all learn from our first loves." Touché.
