We all have bad days, and, like us, not every celebrity's a contender
for Mr. or Ms. Congeniality. Let's all gasp in wonder at some remarkably rude
celebrity interactions — served cold by a jury of their peers.
Jon Stewart hosted The Daily Show for 16 years, during which he was able to handle everything
thrown at him, except for one unbearable celeb who was banned from the studio: actor Hugh Grant.
In 2012, Stewart revealed to fellow late-night host and bestie Stephen
Colbert that while The Daily Show's guests have sometimes included both
real and fictional dictators, Grant was the worst of the worst, recalling,
In an appearance to promote his film, Did You Hear About the Morgans?,
the movie star griped about the clip chosen to run on the show, asking,
Mike Myers is a comedy icon, having starred in comedy classics like the Austin Powers
and Shrek movies. But not everyone's on-set experience with Myers has been
positive. In fact, Amy Hill, who worked with Myers on 2003's The Cat in the Hat,
described her time with him during a 2016 interview with the AV Club, saying,
Hill concluded by saying,
Pete Davidson is no stranger to celebrity feuds,
but his beef with former Saturday Night Live star, Chevy Chase, was completely unprovoked.
"Good evening. I'm God, and here's the news."
Apparently, Chase wasn't a fan of the show's 2018 cast. He told The Washington Post,
Davidson didn't take kindly to the remarks. He told Howard Stern,
"How's it going with the others?" "Well, you know, I don't know,
really. I don't pay much attention to them."
Chase has long been accused of controversial behavior on set. His former Community co-star,
Donald Glover, was allegedly the target of Chase's racist jokes,
according to show creator Dan Harmon. For his part, Glover told The New Yorker,
Plenty of celebrities have been accused of diva behavior, and some have even owned it. But few
have been called a diva as often as Mariah Carey. Just ask Demi Lovato. Back in 2016,
the former Disney Channel star made her feelings about Carey perfectly clear in
a since-deleted Instagram post. According to ET, the post read,
Lovato's comments came on the heels of another since-deleted post of Carey's,
in which the "Always Be My Baby" hitmaker dissed Ariana Grande,
as well as Carey's infamous "I don't know her" comments regarding Jennifer Lopez.
"She says you know her."
"Okay. I know she – You know what? I'm very forgetful."
When asked by Andy Cohen what she would say to Lovato, Carey replied,
"I don't know her either."
We imagine Lopez, Lovato, and Carey won't be getting together any time soon,
but whatever distaste Carey did or didn't have for Grande must have dissipated. In 2020, the
two — along with Jennifer Hudson — collaborated on Carey's Christmas track "Oh Santa!" with
Grande even joining Carey at the end to harmonize with the latter's signature whistle tone runs.
It's often said that you should never meet your heroes. After working with musical icon Mariah
Carey, Nicki Minaj would probably agree. In 2010, when Minaj's music career was just taking off,
she and Carey collaborated on "Up Out My Face." Afterward, the rapper told MTV News,
But Minaj's opinion did a one-eighty when the pair reunited in 2012 as American Idol judges.
"The three of us are sisters, and we won't let her go to the ball."
In a video released by TMZ, the "Super Bass" rapper is heard saying,
Carey, of course, was the royal in question. Minaj also vague-tweeted about the singer,
"I didn't know she sang. I thought she rapped. Or whatever."
Carey has been less vocal about their feud,
but during a 2015 interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, she said of her time on the Idol:
Even over a decade later, we don't foresee this duo collaborating again.
Leah Remini and Tom Cruise are both known for their affiliation with the Church of Scientology,
but that's where their similarities end. Remini's made it her mission
to expose the abuse and trauma she and others have allegedly suffered
at the hands of the church, while Cruise remains a committed member.
"You're fighting to save an ideal that doesn't exist. Never did."
While filming Mission: Impossible 7 in December 2020, Cruise was recorded yelling
at crew members over violation of COVID-19 safety protocols. Public response was mixed.
But Remini alleged in The Underground Bunker that Cruise's words were a charade, writing,
Cruise defended himself in an interview with Empire magazine, saying,
Carnie Wilson of the group Wilson Phillips had a horrific experience on Howard Stern's
radio show back in 1999. She opened up about it on The Talk in 2017, saying,
Stern said to Wilson's husband, musician Rob Bonfiglio,
To make matters even worse, Wilson's appearance on Howard Stern was shortly
after she had gastric bypass surgery for the first time. The singer,
who has struggled with her weight for much of her life, later underwent a second procedure in 2012.
As Wilson recalled of Stern,
Bill Maher has been interviewing celebrities on Real Time with Bill Maher since 2003,
and he's made more than a few enemies in the process. Anthony Bourdain appeared on
the show as a member of a panel in 2011, sharing his thoughts on food and sex.
"We both like beer and we both like barbecue. Or I do, anyway."
"Yeah, I mean that's setting the bar really low on having things in common."
Before his tragic death in June 2018, Bourdain shared with Reason his opinion of Maher, saying,
Maher must not have been too perturbed by the comments as he didn't respond,
but the comic did crack a joke at Bourdain's expense just weeks
after his death by suicide. While reading a fake headline, Maher said,
Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones is no fan of Jim Carrey. The two worked together
on Batman Forever back in the '90s. And Jones didn't mince words when it came to
his lack of fondness for his comedic co-star after Carrey spotted him having dinner at the
same restaurant. In an appearance on Norm Macdonald Live, Carrey recalled,
Carrey kept a mostly good attitude about the incident, surmising,
"I was the star and that was the problem. He's a phenomenal actor, though. I still love him."
Rosie Perez and Jennifer Lopez worked together on In Living Color in the
early '90s. Perez was a choreographer for the sketch comedy show and even fought for Lopez,
who appeared in over 60 episodes, to get her big break as a Fly Girl.
"We have a new Fly Girl, comin' all the way from Bronx, New York - Miss Jennifer Lopez."
In her 2014 memoir Handbook for an Unpredictable Life, however,
Perez claimed that JLo's's on-set behavior was inappropriate, writing,
Perez claimed that, when she addressed the issue with Lopez, she responded like:
Their feud heated up following Lopez's exit from the show, with Perez accusing her of
acting friendly despite dissing her behind her back and then ghosting her. Perez wrote,
Of seeing Lopez at a club shortly after, Perez recalled,
On the positive side, it seems that Perez actually holds no ill will
toward Lopez these days. In 2016, she told CNN,
It was hard to keep track of all the drama in season 12 of The Real
Housewives of Beverly Hills, including the feud between Kathy Hilton and Lisa Rinna.
"I mean, I don't really have a temper."
"What would you call this?"
Their beef started in Aspen, Colorado,
where Hilton reportedly berated fellow housewife Kyle Richards in front of Rinna.
Rinna confronted Hilton about her behavior when the group returned to Beverly Hills.
"Kathy starts screaming and she said,
'I will destroy Kyle and her family if it's the last thing I ever do.'"
But the drama didn't end there. During the finale accusations
flew that Rinna leaked details about Hilton to the media. When Hilton and
Rinna discussed the issue at the 2022 reunion, Hilton said,
More recently, the two seem to have made amends. That December, Rinna shared with ,
