In 2010, Joan Collins spent the better part of a Daily Mail profile wondering where all the glamorous ladies of Hollywood had gone. As far as truly beautiful actresses were concerned, Collins could only name two: "There's Angelina Jolie and there's ... Angelina Jolie." Then, quite apropos of nothing, she broke out her cattiest claws and went to town on Aniston. "Jennifer Aniston is cute," she sniped, "but I wouldn't call her beautiful. She's no Ava [Gardner] or Lana [Turner]." 

A ravenous E! News journo reached out to Aniston's people, no doubt angling for a good old-fashioned cat fight. Sadly, Aniston's reps went the mature route, telling the website Aniston was "aware" of the snippy comment and felt "no need to engage with that nonsense." Actually, engaging by saying you refuse to engage is a fairly soapy rejoinder, no?

After deftly ruffling all the feathers, Collins had a chance to redeem herself when E! News circled back to ask if she had any regrets, clearly looking for more blood. "Oh, well, no," she deliciously demurred. She swore she'd mentioned a bunch of other beautiful actresses — Catherine Zeta-Jones, Megan Fox, Scarlett Johansson — but they'd all been edited out of the article.
