Jennifer Hudson

Things got ugly when a fan recently asked J-Hud whether her 80-pound weight-loss was due to plastic surgery (ouch!). The Southside Chicago native admits she ‘lost her celebrity religion’ when she went into an all out Twitter tit-for-tat with the fan. ""I don’t know, somewhere along the lines, people think they can talk to celebrities any kind of way," J-Hud told a radion station.

You can always count on Rihanna to speak her mind, especially on Twitter. So when a fan dared to call her “unclassy,” on Twitter, the Bajan beauty shut it down by calling her a “c*nt.” Another fan was called a “b**ch” when she called Rihanna’s hair nappy. Don’t mess with RiRi.
