Twitter has certainly been a platform for people to voice out their opinions and connect with others. Celebrities have also used this medium to interact with fans and other fellow stars. However, it has also become a place where one of the most heated celebrity feuds can occur for the whole world to see.

Amanda Bynes vs. Everyone else
Nickelodeon’s former childhood star has certainly caused huge waves this year on her Twitter account as she battled with almost everyone online. She infamously had a tense exchange between Rihanna as Amanda Bynes brought up the former’s domestic violence incident in a tactless way. She was also known to insult Jenny McCarthy, Jay-Z, Courtney Love, and many others on social media account. Bynes apparently suffers from a mental illness, so we hope that she will get better soon.

Jimmy Kimmel vs. Kanye West
It all started when Jimmy Kimmel parodied Kanye West’s BBC interview wherein a child was acting as the singer. Kanye proceeded to flood his Twitter account with rants against the late night show host until Kimmel finally responded. In the end, West made an appearance on Kimmel’s show and some are wondering whether this was just a big publicity stunt.

The Wanted vs. One Direction
I thought the 90’s were over until I saw two members of a boy band feuding only this time it’s on the Internet. The Wanted’s Tom Parker and One Direction’s Louis Tomlison exchange disses on Twitter after the latter made a “rude” remark about The Wanted during once concert. Parker even compared the rival band to Mean Girls during the bitter exchange. That wasn’t the only incident though since One Direction’s Zayn Malik also had a Twitter battle with another member of their rival band.

Lady Gaga vs. Adam Levine, Perez Hilton and Kelly Osbourne
Adam Levine tweeted that Lady Gaga was recycling old art for her material and that doesn’t make her an artist. The pop star shot back calling Levine an “art police.” Interestingly, she also had a feud with real life fashion police Kelly Osbourne over body image comments and a picture of a cake with insulting hashtags. Lastly, she also had a tense exchange between her former friend Perez Hilton as they threw numerous accusations at one another. While outsiders might not know what really went on, their dislike for one another is anything but subtle. This wasn’t the only time the eccentric pop star traded a few harsh words online and it will probably not be her last.

Alec Baldwin vs. George Stark
Earlier this year, James Gandolfini passed away and many of his peers in Hollywood attended his funeral. Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria was in attendance and George Stark, a journalist from the Daily Mail, claimed that Hilaria was leisurely tweeting during the event. Baldwin then proceeded to tweet out some pretty extreme remarks and slurs to Stark. The actor recently apologized for the language, but not for defending his wife.

Chris Brown vs. Jenny Johnson
Texas-based writer Jenny Johnson took a shot at singer Chris Brown for his recent transgressions on Twitter. The pop star was not pleased and he started to respond with vulgar language towards the comedienne. In the end, Johnson had the last word and Brown temporarily deleted his Twitter account.

Olivia Wilde vs. Bieber fans
Apparently Olivia Wilde didn’t share the same fascination of a million other tweens who fawned over Justin Bieber’s photo that he shared on social media. She tweeted that the teen idol should probably buy a shirt and that was something she probably regrets now as hordes of Bieber fans started to insult her on social media. She got off unscathed but admitted on a talk show later on that she is definitely afraid of Bieber’s fans.

Miley Cyrus vs. Sinead O’Connor
We all know about Miley Cyrus’ performance during the VMAs and her racy Wrecking Ball music video. Sinead O’Connor made her thoughts about the young pop star known on Twitter and even wrote a lengthy open letter. Perhaps, O’Connor was upset that Cyrus compared her to Amanda Bynes?
