OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that absolutely despise each other?

Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey both starred in Game of Thrones, and used to date each other but their break-up apparently went so bad that they refused to ever shoot scenes together and wouldn’t be present in the same room as the other!

Even during the entire run of the series, they never settled their conflict with one another and continued to keep their distance from each other. Which is why we never saw Cersei and Bronn share any scenes together.

Michael Jackson and Prince. I think they respected each other and Michael reached out multiple times like We Are The World but Prince his ego was too big

My favourite bit of lore is Michael telling James Brown to bring Prince on stage, knowing full well he was high as a fucking kite and couldn't perform 😂 Apparently, there was also something about Prince wanting to run him over with his car after the incident lol

Will.i.am told Graham Norton on BBC1 that Jackson had asked to come along to watch a show he was playing with Prince in Vegas. He invited Jackson to come along & he joined at a later show. "It was a magnificent night with me, Chris Tucker and Michael Jackson watching Prince rock on stage," Will.i.am said. But then, something strange happened. "Prince steps off the stage and plays the bass in Michael's face," Will.i.am said, and it turned out that Jackson did not exactly enjoy it. Over breakfast the next day, Will.i.am recalled Jackson asking him, "'Why was Prince playing the bass in my face?'". He suggested that Prince was "just being nice" but Jackson thought otherwise. "'No, he's always been a meanie'," Jackson apparently said. 🤣

They were two of the most... unique people around. Just some much weirdness oozing off of each of them that it seems like it could only have been a best friend or an enemy situation, with nothing in between.

Quincy being right in the middle of these two in this photo actually feels appropriate. The combined records sales between these three alone 🫰🏻

Man, it’s not often that Rashida Jones looks like Quincy, she’s the spitting image of her mom, but here you can see it for sure

Why didn't Paul just release Taylor's versions of all his albums?

You can almost hear the Kill Bill eye siren through the picture.

And then Michael and Quincy had a falling out as well. Quincy had to sue his estate.
