Celebrity Feuds

(I mean, Mindy Project isn't even high art, but the people behind it are talented and hardworking and not total assholes and it's gotten really good over the season and it seems to exist for reasons other than the trainwreck factor)

Yeah. I only kind of like the Mindy Project, (primarily because Chris Messina is soooo pretty) but to my knowledge, no one on it is an abusive, perhaps mentally ill/drug using asshole firing people for wanting to be professional.

I think everything that is wrong with Hollywood could be summarized with "Charlie Sheen". Hes an abusive, tyrannical, insane, dangerous asshole. Even his own father has gone on tv to say he needs to hit bottom. However, because he is charismatic and watchable on screen he has been rewarded time and time again.

In this case his leading lady pointed out he was abusive and unprofessional and she was the one to be punished. And apparently sent a disgusting text from him.

Not exactly a feud (HuffPo's headline is a little misleading) but I figured this was the most appropriate category for Tom Arnold & Roseanne. I kind of got a kick out of this.

That exchange is more hilarious than Roseanne's been in years and Tom Arnold ever was.

"Fuck you for getting rid of our wedding pictures!"
"No, fuck you! Also, I've been married lots more times to people not you."
"Fuck you anyway...hey cute baby"
"Thanks!"

By the end, the exchange actually became pretty sweet and funny. I love that she warned him about his kid being feisty cuz of his star sign. I'm sure those two crazy kids still care about each other down deep inside!

Perez Hilton vs. Lady Gaga

You know, Perez is a vile pos, but the fact that Gaga was friends with him as he went after celebs who aren't her makes me think less of her too. As does dragging out all this drama on twitter instead of oh, just calling her lawyer and getting a restraining order if she really thinks he's stalking her. I honestly can't imagine Madonna or Beyonce engaging some lameass gossip blogger like this.

Absolutely. She's spoken out against bullying on several occasions, but he's a bully of the nastiest, most gleefully spiteful order. Not to mention he's fame hungry, which she's just feeding into by splashing his name about on her twitter.

I think Lady Gaga likes to co opt causes without actually thinking them out. For example this whole burqa thing which is so offensive and so gross and so racist and yet if you ask her I'm sure she'd say she was uplifting women.

I enjoy some of her music but I think shes extremely mercenary when it comes to the causes she promotes and thinks about how they benefit her, so I'm sure for her Perez's bullying was outweighed by the fact that when she first burst onto the scene he gave her a LOT of press and put her name out there.

I'm no fan of Perez, but I've been over Gaga so long that I can't rally behind her for...anything. I agree that she co-opts causes without thinking about them, and I get tired of hearing her talk about her cause du jour like she's some sort of expert. She makes me tired.

I don't care, between the two of them. But at least she did tell her "monsters" that they should stop flaming him and she would take care of it herself.

I saw that tweet and was glad she told them to keep out of the feud. She should ignore Perez herself though. No point in battling that guy.

I am not convinced it's not a feud for mutual publicity, BUT BlindGossip claims -- blindly, but barely -- that it's because he confronted her about addiction issues awhile back and she resented it, and even though she got help, she is still pissed that he did that and that he allegedly got advice from another celeb on how to do it.

Yeah, she didn't have to go on Twitter and freak out. It sounds like it is something that a call to her property manager would have solved. It makes it seem like she wanted attention drawn to herself in this case.

Anyone else as fascinated as I am by the ongoing feud between the director and stars of Blue is the Warmest Colour?  Now it's escalated to Abdellatif Kechiche saying that the film shouldn't be released at all, and Slate theorizing that the issue isn't that Kechiche is a tyrant, but that Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos are just acting out due to internalized homophobia.

I don't know what happened but Kanye West is now on Twitter going off on Jimmy Kimmel. I think this is my favorite part:

SHOULD I DO A SPOOF ABOUT YOUR FACE OR YOU FUCKING BEN AFFLECK… #NO DISRESPECT TO BEN AFFLECK #ALL DISRESPECT TO JIMMY KIMMEL!!!!

ETA, he went back and fixed the hashtag so it's all one word. Perfect.

Didn't we already do the "fucking Matt Damon" song? I guess it's Ben's turn.

Jimmy did a Fucking Ben Affleck song in response to Sarah's Damon one.

Aw, damn, I wanted to be the one to bring that over.

Here's the reason, along with Kimmel's awesomely bemused responses.

I love Kanye, but when I saw all those raving tweets on my Twitter feed, I rolled my eyes and said "Fucking settle." Dude is so wound up. I wish if people had grievances, they would just be mature enough to not air out their issues through social media. Just rant at Jimmy on the phone instead.

#NO DISRESPECT TO BEN AFFLECK #ALL DISRESPECT TO JIMMY KIMMEL!!!!

Best hashtag ever!

Kanye is too awesome for the phone! He's the dopest person alive. A mere telephone cannot handle Kanye West.

Apparently, he did scream at Jimmy on the phone and then decided he had more crazy to unleash so he took it to Twitter.

They were talking about this on the radio this morning during my drive to work.  The hope is that Jimmy Kimmel will have the same kid read Kanye's tweets.  

**off to program my DVR**

That would be PERFECT.

I'm more on Kanye's side with this one. This is a decent breakdown of some of it. I'd be pissed too.
