Alec Baldwin was up to wild antics again this week. The 30 Rock star was accused of shouting yet another slur to a photographer. Baldwin denied the claim. After news of the hateful words broke, MSNBC yanked his late night talk show Up Late for two weeks. It was no surprise that some celebrities took to Twitter to express their disdain for Baldwin’s remarks. Anderson Cooper posted on his Twitter account, “Alec Baldwin shows his true colors yet again. Just read Alec Baldwin’s latest excuses. They are actually so ridiculous they are funny.” Baldwin later did admit to wrongdoing and issued am apology on Twitter. There have been countless celebrity feuds via Twitter. Here are the top five feuds featuring a television celebrity:
5. Leah Remini vs. Sharon Osbourne
Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete were fired from the daytime talk show The Talk after its first season concluded in the Summer of 2011. Remini shared the reason she was axed on Twitter claiming, “Sharon thought me and Holly were not funny, awkward, and did not know ourselves.” Osbourne responded by tweeting, “I had absolutely nothing to do with her departure from the show and have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip.” Remini wanted to get the finally 140 characters in by saying, “If someone wants me to stop, they should call a lawyer and tell them what I am NOT telling the truth about.”
4. George Lopez vs. Kirstie Alley
After the comedienne’s late night talk show was cancelled by TBS in 2011, Lopez took to Twitter to unleash a series of jokes, mostly about the Cheers actress. Lopez stated, “she went to the market and had roast beef.” Kirstie’s fans flocked to her aid and demanded Lopez issue an apology to the star. Alley was not amused either and decided to call Lopez out for his problems with alcohol. She asserted that he should drink himself, “in a boiling pot of vodka.” Lopez later apologized for his comments.
3. Adam Levine vs. MTV
Who knew someone could have a feud with a network via social media? Well it happened between The Voice coach Adam Levine and the MTV network back in August of 2011. Levine tweeted, “the VMA’s. one day a year when MTV pretends to care about music.” The network quickly shot back by saying, “Soooo you’ll be tuning in at 9/8C tomorrow night? (BTW bonus points if you TwitPic your 2004 Moonman!)” A man as cocky as Levine must get the final word. He responded with, “still waiting to have my ‘jerry macquire mission statement moment of deep regret…’ not happening. phew!”
2. Chelsea Handler vs. Nick Cannon
The Chelsea Lately host has been known to call out celebrities both on her show and on Twitter. It should not have been a surprise to anyone in 2010 when she posted, “I just heard nick cannon is starting a comedy tour. Who’s going to do the comedy?” Cannon was not happy with the comment, but didn’t really go after Handler until she tweeted a pic of grape soda and asserted, “pls drink this before you tweet me again.” The America’s Got Talent host fired back a serious of explicit tweets aimed at Handler’s potential relationship with rapper 50 cent.
1. Jimmy Kimmel vs. Kayne West
Like any other late-night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel likes to poke fun at current events. In September 2013, Kimmel spoofed an interview rapper Kanye West had with BBC using child actors. As soon as West heard about it, he took to Twitter to show his disgust at the segment. Kimmel only turned to Twitter to announce, “I’ll tell you the whole story about @kanyewest tonight on the show – this is not a prank, I promise (unless it is being played on me).” West did appear on Kimmel’s show to clear the air.
