Riots: the biggest fights in Hollywood

Ordinary or not, nothing beats an old-fashioned game of juice. They say that most traffic jams are caused by people who keep looking at an accident, right? Exactly. It's just in us: We. Want. Drama. Ready for the 10 most epic bitch and bro fights in Hollywood? Sharpen your nails, here we go.

Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift

Oh of course, the classic to kick things off. The commotion started when Kanye climbed the stage of the MTV Awards in 2009 - where Taylor was just giving her victory speech - and yelled into the mic that Beyoncé should have won the award. And the wound still festers, the two regularly give each other friendly compliments in their lyrics.

Chris Brown vs. Drake

Now we're not talking about a normal little quarrel here, no, these two friendly gentlemen are sworn enemies. The reason for all that hate? Rihanna. The singer had relationships with both gentlemen in a relatively short time, and that was something they just couldn't handle. In 2012, it all went wrong in a nightclub in New York. The trigger was a sensitive note from Drake to Chris: ‘I'm n**king your girlfriend.’ You get it: the tone was set.

Taylor Swift vs. Katy Perry

‘Cause baby now we’ve got bad blood,’ sang Taylor Swift on her previous album.

That was a jab at Katy Perry, with whom the pop princess had in the past a spat had. The story still goes that Katy snatched a number of backup dancers from her friend, after which Taylor went loco and took several shots at Katy in her songs. Later, Perry accused her rival of character assassination. Oh, and John Mayer, the man both of them have been involved with, was also the culprit. By now, the hatchet has been buried.

Kelly Osbourne vs. Christina Aguilera

A quarrel that has been simmering for years. The catfight started after Kelly imitated Christina's song ‘Genie in a Bottle’ in an episode of ‘The Osbournes’ and called it one of the worst songs ever. The two continued to bash each other and body shame in the media for years. When Christina Aguilera gained a few pounds, Kelly saw her chance to strike: ‘She called me fat for years, so you know what? Fuck you, you're fat too.’

Madonna vs. Lady Gaga

Ah, the eternal jealousy story. The Queen of Pop would take a hard shot at Gaga's copying behavior in the song ‘Two Steps Behind.’ Madonna would call her a copycat: ‘You're a pretty girl, I have to give you that. But stealing my recipe looks very ugly on you. Did you pay enough attention? You'll never be me. You're just a wannabe.’ Gaga, in turn, said in 2016 that she didn't recognize herself in the comparison with the Queen of Pop: ‘Madonna and I are totally different. I play a lot of instruments. I write all my own music. I spend hours in the studio every day. I'm a producer. I'm a writer. What I do is different.’

Sarah Jessica Parker vs. Kim Cattrall

Sex and the City colleagues Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker have not been able to get through the same door for years, that was already clear. But their bickering reached a low point in 2018 when SJP sent Kim her condolences on Instagram after the death of her brother. Kim clearly wanted nothing to do with that. She responded with a post on Instagram: ‘My mom asked me today: ‘When will that hypocritical Sarah Jessica Parker leave you alone?’ The fact that you are constantly seeking contact with me only reminds me more of the fact that you were mean when we worked together and still are. You are not family to me. You are not my friend. So I ask you once again not to use my family's grief to create a ‘nicer image’ for yourself.’ Ouch. Trouble in paradise, in short. Seems clear to me.

Nicki Minaj vs. Mariah Carey

I don't know exactly who decided that it was a good idea to ask two divas as judges for American Idol, but the audience quickly noticed that it wasn't really a tight plan. Good for the ratings, that's for sure, but the discussions between the two became more intense by the week and even continued on Twitter. ‘I don't understand why a woman who is so successful for her age is still so insecure. And bitter,’ Nicki wrote among other things about Mariah. Although Mariah herself is not as innocent as she looks. During the live show of American Idol, she threw a good right hook at the rapper: ‘Have you ever scored a number 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100? I don't think so.’

Ah, celebs, they're just like us...
