Bring on the twiss: Twitter is the new battleground for celebs

Los Angeles: Twitter, which has become the latest fad in tinseltown with its celebrity filled ranks, has also emerged the new battleground for the rich and famous, who are waging public wars against each other, much to the amusement of their millions of followers.Be it the spat between popstars Lily Allen and Katy Perry or the exchanges between estranged couple Katy Price and singer Peter Andre, celebrities are flocking to the website to `twiss` each other.

The word is amongst a host of other new usages which have been coined by the users of the website, including `twiterrati` and `tweeple` and refers to the often explicit jabs exchanged by people through Twitter. Over the weekend, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and British singer Lily Allen got into a `twissing` match which was witnessed by the fans of both celebs, with the followers too forming into camps siding with their favourite. "I`m sorry, we`ve already cast the jealous and bitter lonely old queen role. Next time eh," wrote Lily Allen, to which Hilton replied," Jealous of who? David Beckham, maybe. And if I wanted to be a stupid Brit, I`d rather be Amy Winehouse, whose got talent at least." The exchange continued until the `Smile` hitmaker who had previously got into a spat with `I Kissed A Girl` singer Katy Perry, finally blocked Hilton. Lohan had recently put down the celebrity DJ`s new reality show as "dumb" and during their much publicised break-up, the actress had taken to the website to vent her\ anger. "Stop doing drugs and go to bed, U work hard and U need some rest. I am doing this publicly because U and your friends call People mag. Keep cheating U win," wrote the actress. A cat fight broke out on Twitter, when former Playboy model Jayde Nicole called out reality TV star Audrina Patridge from the popular show `Hills`, for criticising her boyfriend, actor Brody Jenner. "2 bad when u tried 2 make an appearance in Canada No One Showed Up!!! Watch your self the next time u open up ur mouth about my boy, you are the dumbest human being I have Ever met," tweeted Nicole.
