Perry, a longtime nemesis of Swift, offered a subtle jab while the outspoken Morgan opted for a more…umm…overt weigh in.

Can Claudia Jordan catch a break?

That’s been the question on the lips of many after the 41-year-old was allegedly axed from The Real Housewives of Atlanta – a departure which came following her confirmed firing from The Rickey Smiley Morning Show.

According to Jordan, although she isn’t formally involved with the upcoming season of ‘Housewives,’ her status is more pending than it is final.

As if Taylor Swift vs. Nicki Minaj and, later, her boo Meek Mill vs. Drake wasn’t enough, famed blogger Perez Hilton had to get in on the action by congratulating all “people of color” whose names were on the nomination lists of the 2015 MTV VMAs (unveiled yesterday).

His failed attempt to shade Minaj did not go unnoticed, nor did its follow-up diss to her ‘Feeling Myself’ co-star Beyonce.  Comparing the diva to Rihanna and slamming her for ‘song stealing,’ Hilton got a swift reminder from the #Beyhive why it’s never a good idea to come for Bey.
