The Social scene in Celebville is much more bitchy than rosy. It’s more than likely that if you’re rapidly climbing the fame ladder, you’re going to step on a few fingers along the way. And what would we be reading, Tweeting and Facebooking about if these celebrity fights weren't happening?? So, I have taken it upon my duty to bring you a review of some of the best celebrity feuds from the past few years.
Chris Brown vs. Drake
This is a very traditional male feud as surprisingly enough there happens to be a woman at the centre. Of course it’s not very traditional in that the woman happens to be the biggest female artist around, Rihanna.
Some quick background info... Brown was with Rihanna, then Drake was with Rihanna, and now Brown is trying to get back with Rihanna. Now of course Drake should know when Chris Brown enters a battle, he holds no punches... just ask Rihanna.

After squabbling with nasty comments and Twitter postings, tempers got too much for the two when their paths crossed at a New York nightclub. It wasn't long before a full on club brawl broke out and the pair quickly left the venue separately. The fight started after insults were exchanged and allegedly a member of Drake’s posse through a bottle in Breezy‘s direction. Several bottles were smashed and even some bodyguards had to go to hospital. Ouch.
Brown even posted pictures on his twitter of cuts he received (Although it kind of looked a little like he cut himself with a dodgy razor.) Lil Wayne has called for a truce between the two, but recently Brown has released a remix, that contained some choice insults that are thought to be aimed in Drake’s direction.
Status: There are a few rounds to go in this one yet! Ding ding!
Piers Morgan Vs. Jeremy Clarkson
The effects of these gigantic egos colliding must be nearly equivalent of the Big Bang. Morgan and Clarkson's public feud started when Piers - while editor of the News of the World - published pictures of Clarkson kissing his BBC producer, Elaine Bedell.

This infuriated the Top Gear presenter and tempers ignited while the two were aboard the last Concorde flight. The argument got so heated that motor mouth Clarkson through a Glass of water over Piers Morgan…Careful now!!!
But the war didn’t end there ,at the 2004 British Press Awards,Clarkson swore at Morgan and punched him, before being restrained by Security…finally a bit of real action.
Status: The two have in recent years called a truce, but one could yet see this celeb battle going to extra time.
Donald Trump vs. Rosie O Donnell
Donald Trump and Rosie O Donnell are elders of the celeb world. But age is only a number and it should never get in the way of a good old media played out slagging match.

In 2006 Rosie got on trumps bad side (I’m not sure which side that is) by criticising him for dethroning Miss Tara Conner after her drug scandal. Of course it was all very civilised and Rosie presented a strong argument, calling Trump a ‘Pimp’ and ‘Snake oil Sales man.’’ But Trump, never one to be out done, responded in an equally highbrow fashion by calling her a ‘big fat pig’ and a ‘loser’.
Status: This Oap celeb storm has probably blown its self out, the streets are safe again.
Jonah Hill vs. Matthew Morrison
Slimed down Jonah Hill is fit and ready for battle and while on the Jimmy Kimmel show he accused Glee star Matthew Morrison of bullying him at parties. Morrison apparently had made some jokes at the Superbad star’s expense. But Hill announced on the show that he won’t take it no more - ‘Matthew Morrison, you better bring your sh*t next time I see you...I'd like to see him sing his way out of this on’.
Morrison responded by sending a goofy video to Kimmel’s show, where he finished his joke about Hill and then accepted the actor's challenge saying, ‘Nobody messes with someone from musical theatre!’

Status: This Dorky comical feud eventually blew over. Such a pity... Personally, there’s many who would have liked to see Jonah making Morrison hit a few high notes.
Kelly Osbourne vs. Christina Aguilera
Kelly and Christina’s dispute is based (unsurprisingly) on weight - apparently calling somebody fat is not something to be made light of. Who would have thought that the world of celebs would be so fickle?
The dispute started ages ago when Christina apparently use to say Kelly was carrying a little extra baggage on her body. But the now slimmed down Osbourne is making sure to get revenge, calling attention to the Dirty singer’s recent weight gain. "Maybe she is just becoming the fat bitch she was born to be. I don't know. She was a c**t to me. And she bought my house," Osbourne said during an episode of her show Fashion Police. She went on to say “She called me fat for so many f***ing years, so you know what? F**k you! You're fat too." "Lady Marmalade got into the peanut better again" quipped co-host Joan Rivers when criticizing Aguilera's too-tight outfit.

Status: There has been little response lately from Christina, although she will probably launch a celebrity diet soon before launching another attack on Osbourne.
Rihanna vs. Joan Rivers
Rihanna sings that she is so hard, so be warned, don’t mess with her- she‘ll hit you with her umbrella!
The dispute started after Rihanna broke in down in tears on Oprah’s new chat show, declaring that she’s still loves her ex Chris Brown. This provoked Joan Rivers to tweet ‘Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown.Idiot! Now it's MY turn to slap her."
Rihanna quickly retaliated, replying, "Joan Rivers wow u really do get slow when you're old huh?", before adding, "Slap on some diapers." At least she didn’t go below the belt #StayClassyRihanna.
River’s in her response tried to make amends by inviting her on her show: ‘Honey, Rihanna, everyone knows: If he hit you once, he'll hit you again. Read the statistics. Ps - Love to have you on Fashion Police!’
Status: It will probably fizzle out and it’s doubtful we will be seeing Rihanna on Fashion Police.
