10. The mud is flying between separated celebrities Katie Price and Peter Andre, with the moaning antipodean commenting that his ex has "been linked to so many men I can't keep up!".
9. Number-crunching marg advocate Carol Vorderman was not impressed by Trinny and Susannah's description of her as an "overdone Eighties nightmare". In a viperish response, Vorders slammed Trinny for dressing like a tranny, and spat that Susannah "wasn't exactly a clothes horse. She walked more like a carthorse in a badly-fitting bin liner." .
8. Lily Allen has never been one to keep her forked tongue in check when it comes to her fellow celebs – as evidenced by some of her recent tweets. "Just saw Perez (Hilton's) views on my topless ID pics", she typed. "It may come as a surprise but I'm completely comfortable with getting them out. Tits are tits. I wish mine were as big as @perezhilton's though." Saucer of milk for Lily, please.
7. The luscious Chezza Cole has also repeatedly come under fire from verbal scattergun Silly Allen. However, as any toilet attendant can tell you, she gives as good as she gets. "I left school a long time ago and have no time for this", Cheryl lied, before continuing: "Lily, I could find you a spare ticket if you'd like to come and experience what a live arena tour is like, as that's the closest you'll ever get to it."
6. Even the leader of the free world has a bitchy side. When Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin referred to herself as a "pitbull in lipstick", Barack Obama couldn't help but comment. "You can put lipstick on a pig", he told a crowd at a campaign event. "It's still a pig." Zing!
5. "I've just been voted Britain's sexiest vegetarian!" honked po-faced GMTV hostess Fiona Phillips to her day's guest, the potty-mouthed, cauliflower-faced burger-flipper Gordon Ramsay. "Oh, well, that's why your breath smells", Gordy replied, before picking up a cushion and holding it over his face. You could tell from her reaction that Ms Phillips would have liked to hold it there herself.
4. What on earth did Joan Collins do to invoke the wrath of snooker champion John Parrott? We're not sure, but we're glad she did. "Joan unfortunately can't be with us tonight", John informed some guests at a swanky do. But why's that, John? "She's busy attending the birth of her next husband", he declared. Ouch.
3. Boy George rarely has a kind word for anybody, but Madonna has repeatedly been the target of his vitriol. "I just think she's a vile, hideous human being with no redeeming qualities", he sniped, in a Channel 4 doc. "I've never heard anyone say anything nice about her at all. Vile, full of herself, so un-spiritual. How has this woman got away with it for so long?" Takes one to know one, eh George?
2. Much-missed reporter Dennis Pennis could make even the most-botoxed eyebrows reach the heavens. Not only did he ask Cher whether anybody had ever told her she was really beautiful (and meant it), but he also approached Demi Moore and questioned if she'd ever consider keeping her clothes on in a movie. Demi gave him the stink eye and left without a word.
1. However, few of today's celebs can match the sharp-tongued sparring of Hollywood's legendary female film stars. "Why am I so good at playing bitches?", Bette Davis mused during an interview. "I think it's because I'm not a bitch", she concluded. Before adding: "Maybe that's why Joan Crawford always plays ladies." Oof!
