Keeping Up With The Cat Fights

There's nothing more fun than a good cat fight. And, there have been some notable ones over the years.

The latest ones erupted this week. Etta James was offended by Beyonce's performance at the Inaugural Balls. She said, " Beyonce has no business..........singing my song, that I've been singing forever."

I kind of understand her sense of ownership of that song, but Beyonce sure sounded good singing it.

Faye Dunaway had a few harsh words to say about Hilary Duff, who is taking on the iconic role of Bonnie Parker in a remake of "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde". She asked, "Couldn't they at least cast a real actor?

Hilary Duff replied, " I think it was a little unnecessary, but I might be mad if I looked like that now, too."

And, there have been others in recent years. Paris Hilton is always hissing and spitting at her former best friends, notably, Mischa Barton and Nicole Ritchie. Heather Locklear dissed Denise Richards over Richie Sambora and she also got into it with Hilary Duff.

But, none of them measure up to the cat fights of the good old days, when people knew how to deliver zingers with flair.

Dorothy Parker said about Kate Hepburn, "She ran the whole gamut of emotions from A to B. Zing!

Barbara Stanwyck on Marilyn Monroe: " Her body has gone to her head." Ouch!

Bette Davis vs Joan Crawford: "Joan always cries a lot. Her tear ducts must be close to her bladder." Pow!

And, Kate Hepburn said about Sharon Stone, " It's a new low for actresses when you have to wonder what's between her ears instead of her legs. Zingarooni!

Come on, people! Show some imagination in your feuds!

Waiting for the next round.
