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.

16. Tori is nothing but a 'jolier'. If I were her mother I wouldn't want to acknowledge being related to such a talentless off spring.

17. to #13 Kim -- WHAT!?? I can't figure out what or whom your talking about.

18. totally agree with #3. if jon voight had been so keen, he should also have liked to know maddox and zahara, they're also angelina's kids and angelina doesn't discriminate between them like mr. voight does.
plus, at the time it was rly the best for angelina to just get away from him. with a child to raise, she really didnt need negative attitudes and a discouraging father talking about "mental problems".
if anything, angelina proved she was a fine person by picking herself up out of any craziness she may have been in, and doing such a great job of raising maddox, single-handedly a lot of the time.

but at the same time, i think it's been long enough, and angie should at least have a talk with him and let him know what's wrong. in the interest of her, her family, kids and father.....but pls do remind him that zahara and maddox too exist n maybe he's been sleeping all that time.

19. Either you want to see someone or you DON'T A family member or friend can't forse you to except a family member into your life if you DON'T LIKE THE PERSON. Since we don't get to pick our family, there's no way in HELL there's a guarentee that you are going to LIKE THEM. Sure we all want to have a loving family situation, where everyone gets along and loves each other. But REALITY BITES! This is a world of imperfections and we all iive in it. Most families are DISFUNTIONAL now anyway. At least they're not killing each other. This senario sounds like a JERRY SPRINGER SHOW.

20. Angelina couldn't help that she was born to that loser of a dad. If he was sincere he wouldn't try to use the press to twist her arm

23. #14 think you hit it on the head with that. its bad enough for peolpe who are not in puplic eye but lets get real you can't pick your family and why be around people you don't care for just because of DNA

24. What Jen seems to forgot about her Mother is that when her dad left her Mother for a much Younger Actress, It was her Mother that was there for her, not her Father, Her Father was out statring a new Family and it was her Mother who raised her until much later in her life when Father of the year deciided he wanted to be her Father again. But now that she is rich and famous Her Mother just does not fit into her life. Brad you made the right choie Angelina is more you type, why live in a loveless marriage with this woman with such a cold heart.

26. Good to know everyone has disfunctional families and it's not just mine.... Ha! I wish everyone would get over the whole Angelina thing though, she's a good mother, she adopted these two beautiful children that probably would never have anything if it werent for her and she has chosen to have a child of her own. It's all about love - and those kids are so loved.

27. #18, I totally agree with you, Everyone seems to blame Angelina for everything, I am thrilled for her she really loves all 3 of her Children.
As far as her and Brad, I think they just fell in love, we all know his marriage to Jen was over. No one can resist Angelina, Why do you think Melanie Griffin was on the set of the movie Antonio made with her. No one can resist Angelina

28. I can't believe some of the comments - are you human beings, do you have a life? I hope everything is going great in your life, because watch out for what you say about others because you never know when it is going hit your ass pretty hard! If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. So shallow and superficial.

29. Since Angelina father said she had a emotional problem, which was a strange comment to me. Children inherit family genes, wonder did it come from his side of the family. And I agree with #3, he never speak of Maddox and Zahara, only wanting to see Shiloh. And #12, I don't see anything incestious about saying it was unhealthy to be around her father. It may have been to much drama to deal with him. We all family members it is unhealthy to be around for any amount of reasons.
