When stars collide

You do not have to be in Hollywood to start a celebrity feud but it helps and insults often come thick and fast.

An exchange today on breakfast radio caused a stir with music guru Molly Meldrum and radio host Kyle Sandilands trading blows.

A seemingly intoxicated Meldrum began attacking Sandilands about his weight.

"You are arrogant and fat," Meldrum said.

"At least I'm not a drunk," Sandilands replied.

"At least I'm not a drunk tragedy hiding under a hat."

Like everyday people, stars get caught up in brawls but when was the last time you saw someone like Britney Spears serve her own mother with a restraining order?

Anne Holland from Relationships Australia believes it does not matter who you are, feuds and brawls are damaging.

"Celebrities have families, they have relationships just like we do," she said.

"They're going to have the normal ups and downs."

Anne said it is not a nice thing to watch.

"It's very destructive for everybody, no one benefits from an all out brawl," she said.

"The potential is there for a disagreement with a family member or a friend to really have a deep impact on your life."

In Hollywood, some friendships last as long as a cup of tea while some celebrities continue to have ongoing stoushes.

Actor Eddie Murphy has been involved in a very public feud with spice girl Mel B over paternity.

It has been very public, very embarrassing and very embarrassing.

Some kids fight with their famous parents.

Tori Spelling has an ongoing feud with her mother Candi over a $500,000 inheritance from her father's mega estate.

Disc jockey Jono Coleman blames nepotism.

"If you've got a famous father or famous mother, people expect you to use those family kind of powers to get anything," he said.

"I know a number of people I've worked with over the 16 years in the UK and so many of them would say 'you might know my dad'."
