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.

61. "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." (from the article)

So, because she was mad at her mother, she couldn't be bothered seeing her ailing father? Yeah Tori, makes sense.

62. for those who said angie got pregnant while brad is still married:--

1) this is a matter of technicality. jen filed for divorce towards end of march. the minute you file for divorce, you can do whatever you want, date whoever you want. u just CANNOT apply for a marriage license because legally you are still married until the divorce is final. the judge signed off brad's divorce in august but he still have to wait until oct 2 when his divorce is final.
2) gestation period is 40 weeks. shiloh was born 5/27. if you count back 40 weeks, she got pregnant sometime in august.
3) brad had his wedding ring on even after his january's announcement of separation.
4) brad took off the wedding ring when jen filed for divorce in march.

Conculsion--- all these are technicality. one can start dating, seeing other people the minute the divorce paper is filed. look at jen aniston. she was seen with vince vaughn. look at nick lechy (jessica's ex) we see pictures of them with other people in magazine even before their divorce is final.

63. I like both Angelina and Jennifer....who doesn't have problems with their families from time to time...sometimes you make up and sometimes you don't..it is an individual thing.
I do feel in Angelina's case that her father may have been sexually abusive with her when she was a child and she is only now getting away from him...many children that had sexual abuse in their lives were cutters and had other problems...Angelina used to be a cutter ... I hope her children are never anywhere near him if that is the case!
I hope Angie and Brad and their family can dump the papparazzi and live in peace and I hope that Jen and Vince have a happy marriage and lots of happy kids. I also hope that it's not true about Brad not wanting his mom to talk to Jen..cause that is her business who she talk to and doesn't talk to...as long as they don't badmouth Angelina then it's o.k.
Even Jen said that everyone wants to believe that Angie/Brad and herself are in this big cat fight with each other but she says that it is not true and she wants Brad to be happy....because she is happy now too...
About Jens mother...what she did was wrong..with her book about Jen..she seems like a jealous person...but even with that Jen said that she made up with her mom.

I wish them all the best.

64. I think more people should be like Angelina Jolie because she adoptes
kids. She also has a kid of her own. She is a pretty woman and a really
good actress. I want to be an actress just like her. I also want to be a singer just like Mariah Carey.

65. Jolie is just bitchy all around no matter who she deals with. I predict sooner or later, Brad will get sick of her, dump her and I cannot wait until that happens. She's a man-stealing, part-stealing skanky whore who does not deserve what she has.

66. Angelina is right because her father should've never said that she has
emotional problems. If my father said that about me I would be avoiding him to. I'm on Angelina's side on this.If Angelina so focused
on her image then why did she have a baby. Don't hate on Angelina because she's a pretty and a famous woman. I want to be a great actress like her one day. I would adopt kids to.

67. Angelina is right her father should've never said that she has emotion problems. If my father ever said that about me I would avoid him to. Angelina is right on this. Why would Angelina's father say something bad about his daughter, especially on national television. Angelina's dad will now think twice about what he says on national television.

68. I don't think I'd want him around my children either. "C'mere Shi.. come over here"... what a bloody creep.

69. Angelina needs to get over her father's past statement..For God's sake, he has certainly apologized enough ! He shouldn't be denied the right to be a Grandfather to his three grandchildren !! We all make mistakes and open our mouths when we shouldn't....She should be thankful that she has a father to lean on and talk with, that truely loves her and those kids !

watch what you are saying. you may not like a person. but dont curse people. remember u reap what you sow.

i always believe you should give credit when credit is due even you may not like that person. if you curse people, one of these days, it will come back to haunt you or your loved ones in the future. it can come in many forms, e.g. illness, loss of jobs, or illness on your loved ones.

71. f*ck tihs sh*t. All of you need to go suck some d*cks. You dumass idiots.

72. I think Angelina has every right to hold her father at a distant; it's nonsense to expect her to invite what is ostensibly a stranger into her midst after such a cowardly statement. Maybe he should get some counciling if he thinks such hurtful and public comments are the route to reconciliation. Besides, Angelina's relationship with her father can't be estranged because for the most part, other than blood, it is non-existent.

73. Whats up with people here? Do all of you have perfect happy homes? Angelina's dad cheated on her mum and left the family, ok? And he has badmouthed her in public saying she needs help! Anyone who needs help is a PARENT who badmouths their kid, not the other way around! Jennifer Anistons mum needs help! Dont you get it? Its not about team Aniston or team Jolie, pfff, so many here get all sucked into the darn tabloid rubbish! When you have kids and you try not to make the mistakes your parents made, you learn what is a healthy influence and what is not. So what if Jolie doesnt want her dad in her life, or Jen not wanting her mom in her life. If thats what it takes to feel balanced, then so be it! Do it.

And someone pointed that out...Voight hasnt said a darn thing about the adopted children.

People have got to quit badmouthing Angelina, Brad and Jennifer...jealousy is such a pathetic emotion...easy to rubbish someone from the comfort of your armchair! Walk a mile in their shoes first and then see how easy it is to be them.

74. I think Jon did not like Angelina adopting children from other countries. Why would he say his daughter has mental problem right before she adopted if it was not because he did not like her adpoting from Cambodia. He also said I cannot wait to meet my new grandchild but has never mentioned Zahara. I would be mad at him too. His comment was over the top and could have cost her Maddox. Jennifers mom was trying to steal her daughter lime light. She is a has been actress why would I buy her book so she adds her daughter life to her book and it sells. I would not talk to her either. It is not like these parents forgot their birthday they have real beefs and if they let them back in, they will cause more problems. Nancy has already done a interview that Jennifer has called her. Give me a break.
