If there's one thing Hollywood is never short
on, it's egos. In an industry where collaboration is key,
putting those egos in the same room can sometimes produce disastrous results that range anywhere
from stressful productions to full-on fistfights. Here are some celebs that learned the hard
way that they should probably never work together again. Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey When it comes to being a diva, no one does
it quite like Mariah Carey, so when American Idol producers put Carey on the judges' panel
with Nicki Minaj, they must have known the sparks would fly. "Would it be frightfully tiresome if somebody
brought me some ice?" During auditions in Charlotte, North Carolina
in 2012, tensions exploded when Minaj hurled profanities at Carey after growing tired of
her behavior. The back-and-forth was captured on video and
leaked to TMZ. "I told them, I'm not putting up with her
f---ing highness no more!" After the epic blowout died down, the two
eventually went back to acting like professionals. In the lead-up to Idol's 15th season, BET
reported that Carey claimed the feud was fake and cooked up by producers. However, Idol producers made it clear to E!
News that the feud was all too real, calling it a "nightmare experience." They also know exactly who was to blame. Producer Nigel Lythgoe revealed, "Nicki was not the problem." David O. Russell and George Clooney In 1997, George Clooney was primarily known
for his television role on E.R., and his career in film was by no means a sure thing. So it was a pretty bold move when the TV doctor
went toe-to-toe with director David O. Russell on the set of Three Kings. In a 2000 interview with Playboy, the actor
claimed that he grew tired of Russell constantly berating crew members, and the situation reached
a boiling point when the director allegedly kicked an extra. According to Clooney, he approached Russell
and attempted to diffuse the situation, which did not go well. After a screaming match, Russell allegedly
headbutted Clooney, Clooney fought back, and the two had to be physically pulled apart. Clooney told Playboy, "I had him by the throat." Russell and Clooney managed to make it through
the rest of production. However, Clooney swore he'd never work with
Russell again. In 2004, Clooney told Premiere, "Quite honestly, if he comes near me, I'll
sock him right in the f---ing mouth," Definitely keep those two apart. Tina Fey and Paris Hilton Even with a long career cracking jokes about
celebrities, Tina Fey seems to walk a fine line that keeps her in their good graces. She's still close with Lindsay Lohan, which
proves Fey can be pretty forgiving when it comes to celebrity antics. However, during Fey's time on Saturday Night
Live, Paris Hilton was apparently an absolute nightmare of a host, and Fey didn't hold back
when asked to share her thoughts on the hotel heiress. In an interview with Howard Stern, Fey said
what she really thought. "She's a piece of s---." According to Fey, Hilton embraced her stupidity
and demanded to star in a sketch as Jessica Simpson because Hilton allegedly hated the
singer. Fey claimed The Simple Life star barely acknowledged
the cast, and in Fey's words, her "...cheap weave left nasty wads of Barbie hair on the
floor." "Always dress like a princess. If you do, you'll be treated like one." James Franco and Tyrese Gibson While filming Annapolis, co-stars James Franco
and Tyrese Gibson feuded so badly that Gibson openly told Elle in 2007 that he wished he
could blow up Franco's house. According to Uproxx, the tension between the
two stemmed from Franco's method acting, which even Franco admits was way out of control
in his early acting days. In an interview with Playboy, Gibson said
he felt like it was more than just method acting when Franco refused to break character
while practicing the film's boxing scenes, which often involved Gibson repeatedly getting
punched. Gibson said, "I never want to work with him again, and
I'm sure he feels the same way. It felt very personal. It was f---ed up." In his defense, Franco claims he attempted
to make up with Gibson, and he takes full responsibility. As for Gibson, he's remained mum on the subject,
and we don't see the two working together again anytime soon. Bruce Willis and Kevin Smith In 2009, Kevin Smith took a massive pay cut
for a chance to work with Bruce Willis on the buddy comedy Cop Out. It was also the first time Smith directed
a movie he didn't write, but he was up for the challenge if it meant working with Willis. Unfortunately, some dreams die hard, and that's
the way it went for Smith. On an episode of WTF With Marc Maron, Smith
described working with Willis as "soul crushing." He said Willis was essentially zero help and
wouldn't even sit for the movie poster. In a lengthier interview with SBS Australia,
Smith said he knew from day one that Willis was completely checked out for two reasons. First, he was supposedly intimidated by Tracy
Morgan's ad lib skills. "Call me back. OK. I had the phone the wrong way. I was talking to the back of the phone. No wonder she cheating on me." Smith said, "You could just see the colour draining out
of his face." Secondly, Willis allegedly only cared about
the money, which is something that Smith had not dealt with before with other actors. Smith said, "Willis was [a] straight up paycheck player. Nothing wrong with that, it's not against
the law, but if you're going to get paid to do the job, do the job. He didn't want to do that." "He's not interested anymore. After the 'Cop Out' experience, I was like,
'If this is what it's like working with the best, I'm gonna go make cartoons.'" We're pretty sure the two are happier without
each other. Charlie Sheen and Selma Blair In 2013, Selma Blair threatened to sue Charlie
Sheen and Lionsgate for wrongful termination after she was fired from Anger Management. According to TMZ, Blair believed Sheen had
her written off the show after she complained about him holding up production by being a
"slacker" who never memorized his lines. However, sources also said that Blair's time
on the show was always going to be short-lived, and when Sheen heard about her complaining,
it happened even sooner. According to Radar, that process allegedly
involved Sheen firing Blair via text and calling her a certain c-word. While Blair and Lionsgate presumably reached
a settlement, Sheen was still salty about the situation in 2017. While appearing on Watch What Happens Live!,
he was asked to rank his favorite female co-stars. He praised Heather Locklear and said Lindsay
Lohan was, quote, "fun to look at." As for Blair and Jenny McCarthy? "Yeah, I would like to kind of mash those
two up together and just, kinda just do that, just kick them to the curb. They deserve each other." Kiefer Sutherland and Freddie Prinze Jr. It's no secret that Kiefer Sutherland loves
booze. The actor has four DUIs, and he literally
wrote a love song dedicated to alcohol. On top of that, he's kind of short, which
proved to be a frustrating combination for Freddie Prinze Jr., who reportedly hated working
with Sutherland on 24 so much that he wanted to quit acting. Prinze told ABC News, "Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in
the world. That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to
his face, I think everyone that's worked with him has said that." After leaving 24, Prinze surprisingly went
to work for wrestling promoter Vince McMahon, which he admitted was a different kind of
crazy, but still preferable to working with Sutherland. He said, "At least [McMahon] was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes
with him, which [24] made me do. Just put the guy on an apple box or don't
hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4." In a statement to TMZ, Sutherland's rep said
this was the first the actor had heard about Prinze's grievances, noting that Sutherland
enjoyed the experience and wishes him the best. That isn't exactly a denial, so we're pretty
sure these two aren't going to play partners again anytime soon. Bill Murray and Lucy Liu When Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle ramped
up production, Bill Murray was noticeably absent from the sequel, despite playing series
regular Bosley. According to The Playlist, the actor was allegedly
brutal to Lucy Liu during the first film, having stopped a scene to insult her acting,
which resulted in Liu throwing punches. After that, Murray refused to appear in the
sequel if Liu was involved, and he found himself replaced by Bernie Mac — or so the story
goes. When asked about the incident almost a decade
later by The Times of London, Murray simply said, "Look, I will dismiss you completely if you
are unprofessional and working with me… When our relationship is professional, and
you're not getting that done, forget it." Murray also said that Charlie's Angels director
McG deserves to be, quote, "...pierced by a lance..." and Murray admitted to holding
a grudge against Harold Ramis, one of his oldest friends and closest collaborators,
for more than 20 years. In other words, don't hold your breath for
a Liu and Murray truce. Shia LaBeouf and Alec Baldwin In 2013, Shia LaBeouf and Alec Baldwin were
set to appear in the Broadway production of Orphans until LaBeouf was fired from the show
because of "creative differences." In a lengthy interview with Vulture, Baldwin
described his version of events. He claims that LaBeouf showed up to the set
with a "jailhouse mentality" and began sending Baldwin videos in which he recited entire
scenes from memory. Eventually, the situation went nuclear when
LaBeouf told Baldwin during rehearsal that he was "slowing him down." At that point, Baldwin asked to be removed
from the show, but the director chose to fire LaBeouf instead. A year later, LaBeouf told Interview that
his method acting had gotten the best of him. He also said that his goal was to, quote,
"...intimidate the f--- out of Baldwin." He even admitted to following Baldwin home
after he got fired from the play. Needless to say, the situation got way out
of hand. According to LaBeouf, the two actors have
since made amends, but we don't suspect Baldwin will be working with LaBeouf anytime soon. No matter how hard LaBoeuf might beg. "What are you waiting for? DO IT!" Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron Mad Max: Fury Road may have been a box-office
success and a hit with critics, but behind-the-scenes, stars Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy did not
get along — at all. In interviews, Theron wasn't shy about confirming
the rumors that she struggled with Hardy, and director George Miller even admitted that
Theron and Hardy didn't have the best relationship, according to People. While sitting down with Esquire, Theron went
even further by bluntly revealing that the two actors, quote, "...f---n' went at it..."...which
she blamed on both Hardy's personality and filming conditions that involved them constantly
working on a moving truck in the desert. In 2017, co-star Zoe Kravitz confirmed the
feud between Theron and Hardy, which she partially blamed on the grueling production. On Watch What Happens Live!, Kravitz revealed, "Yeah, they didn't get along, they didn't
get along, and we were also in the desert for so long. I think everyone was tired, and confused." Both Theron and Hardy are game for another
Mad Max film, so buckle your seatbelts, folks. Thanks for watching! Click the Nicki Swift icon to subscribe to
