Celebrities have been feuding and catfighting for years, much to the entertainment of audiences.
The idea of celebrity feuds has such appeal that a new TV series is being made, dedicated to retelling some of the most iconic and venomous fights in Tinseltown.
“Feuds,” developed by Ryan Murphy for FX, will be premiering March 5. To kick things off, Murphy’s first season, entitled “Bette and Joan,” will be delving into the legendary feud between famous leading ladies Joan Crawford and Bette Davis that occurred during and after filming their 1962 film, “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”
The lifelong feud was so bad that after Crawford died in 1977, Davis supposedly stated, “You should never say bad things about the dead, only good … Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” 
Here is a list of some of the most infamous celebrity feuds.
Elizabeth Taylor and Debbie Reynolds: This feud was the original Pitt-Jolie-Aniston triangle. In 1958, after Reynolds’s husband Eddie Fisher secretly started an affair with Taylor (who was a longtime friend of both), Reynolds was heartbroken.
The two divorced in 1959, leaving him free to marry Taylor. Fisher’s career suffered due to the scandal and he never reconciled with Reynolds; his and Taylor’s marriage lasted less than five years after she started an affair with “Cleopatra” co-star Richard Burton,whom she later married.
Reynolds and Taylor refused to speak to each other for seven years. The two women soon reconciled over drinks after getting on the same cruise ship. They even co-starred together in the 2001 film, “These Old Broads,” co-written by Carrie herself. The two remained close until Taylor’s death in 2011.
Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels: You might not believe it, but the snips and spats between R2-D2 and C3-PO in the Star Wars films actually had some truth. The feud between Baker (R2) and Daniels (C3) apparently started after Daniels ignored Baker when he tried to say hello to him and Baker considered it rude.
Over the years, the two insulted each other and refused to be together at gatherings. Daniels even later compared R2’s role to that of a bucket.
William Shatner and George Takei: Or more specifically, Shatner and practically the whole “Star Trek” cast! According to many reports, Shatner’s massive ego prompted fights and arguments between him and the others. He infamously feuded with James Doohan (Scotty) for many years until they finally reconciled shortly before Doohan’s death.
Lately, Shatner’s most infamous feud has been with George Takei (Sulu), both publicly denouncing each other to this day. Ironically, the two had mended fences before, but they were burned after Shatner supposedly didn’t get a wedding invite from Takei, even though he said he’d sent one.
Mariah Carey and Eminem: After the rapper hinted to having an affair with Carey, Carey shot back with her song “Obsessed,” comparing Eminem to a stalker. Angered by this, Eminem fired back with “The Warning,” a song saying that he would release saucy voicemails and messages that Carey supposedly sent him. So far, he hasn’t gone through with the threat, but things between the two have since been extremely chilly.
Taylor Swift and Katy Perry: Though it seems like many have a bone to pick with Swift these days (Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry etc.), probably one of the most famous and ongoing ones is her feud with Kanye West. West infamously interrupted Swift’s speech while she was receiving an award. Several years later West mentioned her in an unflattering way in his song. Swift claimed to have not known anything about the line in his song and claimed offense. However, both West and Kardashian have said that she did indeed know about the lyric and supported it.
