Celebrity Feuds
Celebrity Family Feuds

Everybody fights with their families - even celebrities. And while forgetting to call home may upset your mom, it won't land you on the cover of magazines next to Nicole Richie's latest missed meal.

Unfortunately, the big stars don't have that same luxury.

TMZ tracked down some of Hollywood's biggest family feuds that could give "Kramer vs. Kramer" a run for its money.

Angelina Jolie vs. Jon Voight

Angelina JolieIn 2001, Angelina Jolie co-starred with her dad, Jon Voight, in the hit film "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider." By 2002 they were no longer on speaking terms.

Voight went on national television and blamed the split on what he says were Jolie's "serious emotional problems." Jolie countered "I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible for my own child (Maddox)."

She eventually legally dropped the 'Voight' from her last name.

Earlier this week Voight admitted that he still wants to reconcile with his daughter and that he has yet to see his new granddaughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.

It seems Jolie's main man Brad Pitt may need to get involved in order to settle this Hollywood Fight Club.



Tori Spelling vs. Candy Spelling


Tori Spellin Ever since Aaron Spelling's death in June, Tori Spelling and her mother Candy have been involved in a catty and public exchange of words.

Tori first heard the news of her father's death via a friend's email and told Us Weekly "I can't believe my mom didn't call me!" Tori revealed she had only seen her father once since last September allegedly because she was unhappy that Candy was spending time with Mark Abramson, a longtime family friend, while Aaron's health deteriorated.

In response to Tori's interview in Us Weekly, Candy and Tori's brother Randy issued a statement saying "We are deeply saddened that, during our time of loss and grief, we are forced to respond to the media frenzy caused by the mean-spirited and surprising comments made by Tori to the press, just two days after the passing of Aaron."

Tori has also denied rumors that her estrangement from her parents had anything to do with her divorce from Charlie Shanian and subsequent marriage to actor Dean McDermott or her VH1 family-mocking series "so noTORIous."

Stay tuned for further developments in the 9021-Uh Oh.

Jennifer Aniston vs. Nancy Aniston

Jennifer Aniston severed her relation with her mother, Nancy, after she gossiped about her on a tabloid TV show and wrote the revealing book "From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir."

The rift ran so deep that Jennifer didn't even invite Nancy to her 2000 wedding to Brad Pitt. In 2004, Jennifer said "I never thought my mom would not know my husband."

Nancy may not have gotten to know Brad but he was partly responsible for bringing mom and daughter back together. Jennifer said that in the aftermath of her breakup from Pitt she and her mother mended their strained relationship. In 2005 Jennifer told "Good Morning America" "It was the time, and it was going to happen when it was supposed to happen. So this is good."

Now that Brad is out of the picture, it's good to see Jen and her mom are back to being 'Friends.'

Julia Roberts vs. Eric Roberts

Julia RobertsThe "Pretty Woman" and her brother Eric Roberts became estranged when Julia took Eric's ex-girlfriend's, Kelly Cunningham's, side in the couple's bitter custody battle over daughter Emma in 1993.

Ironically, as one child tore the siblings apart, another two helped reunite them.

In 2004, Eric visited Julia in the hospital after giving birth to her twins Phinnaeus and Hazel. Eric told PEOPLE "We all dropped a couple of tears" and everything is back on track.

Lindsay Lohan vs. Michael Lohan

Lindsay Lohan Michael Lohan has had more run-ins with the law than his daughter Lindsay's had boyfriends. He's been arrested for everything from attacking a sanitation worker and assaulting his brother-in-law to drunk driving. These incidents were especially troubling as they occurred as Lindsay's career continued on it's meteoric rise to teen queen stardom. Things were further strained by Michael's nasty divorce to Lindsay's mom Dina. Michael even wanted Lindsay's fortunes considered a marital asset in the divorce but the request was denied.

Lindsay documented her relationship with her estranged dad in the song "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Father to Daughter)." In the song Lindsay sings "If you loved us, why did you do all these things." To make it even more personal, Lindsay directed the video and cast her 11-year-old sister Ali as a younger version of herself.

Michael responded to the video with a song of his own which said "I do admit, I did at times fall. But these things you know were due to "THEM."

With Michael serving time in a NY state prison and Lindsay shuttling cross-country from hotspot to hotspot, it looks like they are both spending their time apart behind bars.

1. That's sad. She is so family oriented but can't reconcile for the sake of her children. I understand if she feels it's not healthy for her to be around him and that would affect her children inderectly, but I'd also hate to see them miss the opportunity of knowing their grandfather.

2. I personally think that Mr. Jon Voight should stop mouthing off to every news organization he can get. Also it speaks volumes that he keeps talking about Shiloh yet he never mentions Zahara and Maddox. Angelina is the mother of 3.

4. Please the Jennifer Aniston story was just for PR. Have we seen Jennifer with her mother. No. Have we read reports that she had lunch with her mother. No. We have read many reports that she had been with her father. Even with Brad's mother but nothing about Nancy Aniston.

5. The reason Jen doesn't go around posing with her Mom everywhere is because she probably doesn't want to USE people to promote herself. Angelina on the other hand is a new kind of crazy when it comes to childrearing. Who makes their kids into mini celebs/ commodities to promote themselves.

She talks of her kids like they are reps of her work more than human beings. she even made sure they were seen holding NEwsweeks (Zahara when she 1st arrived in the US, and Maddox in the very dangerous Haiti) - and surprise surprise, Newsweek chooseing baggy pants Brad of all people to put in thier magazine.

Angelina should listen to her dad and get help. She won't reconcile with him because she is most likely affraid he will again see her problems and tell the world.

Remember this a woman who got her friend to tell the british press that she blames Jennifer for her negative press, and doesn't want her boyfriends mother to even talk to her ex daughter in law. She got Pregnant right after the VF article came out about Jen - and to me it is so obvious she got pregnant out of spite.

Angelina -Father knows best.

6. Everyone knows Angelina's dad is right. Even Angelina - that's why she is avoiding him.

7. Jennifer Aniston actually did forgive her mom the first time her Mom went on TV about her. They had a big fall out but Jen decided it wasn't worth it. What Jennifer didn't know is that as she was forgiving her Mom , her Mom was already writting a book and her Mom didn't tell her. It was after the book came out that Jennifer said no more and broke the ties.
She said in interview that she did try to reconcile since but her mother wasn't responsive. She said something like she had done alot and it was her Moms turn. (don't remember the exact words - it was a Diane sawyer interview I think)

8. Angelina is a whole new kind of crazy and her dad isn't the only one who sees it.

9. Angelina Jolie isn't about family she is about image. So is Brad. Doug Pitt his brother said that Brad doesn't even want his mom to be friends with jen anymore. Charming. Those poor kids, Jon Voight should be raising them.

I agree! BTW, I read one of her old interview that she called her mother " the worst disease" or something like that.

11. Hmmm...this Jolie thing with Jon is sort of disturbing in that one wonders why she would think it's unhealthy to be around her father. Makes one wonder what happened between them only three or four years ago. Does anyone sense some incestious goings on there??

Posted at 12:58PM on Jul 15th 2006 by doug

12. she does love HER family thats why keeping a man who uses the press to SEND MESSAGES to his daughter is a great idea

13. Kasey don't be an idiot. Brad's brother said no such thing, a TABLOID made that up. Dumbass.

14. Jennifer Aniston's Mom is crazy. Maybe Brad wanted to meet Jen's Mom so bad he finally went with nutty Angelina. What sort of Mother writes books about her kids most insecure moments as a teen, and goes on TV repeatedly to talk about her kid. Jen's mom should date Angelina.

15. Well said Coco #6
