They were at each other's throats for ten years, then famously made up.
Now Hollywood's most famous feud is back on.

Brandi Glanville, her ex-husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, and the woman who replaced her, LeAnn Rimes, are fighting again.
They have fallen out over a party organised by Eddie and LeAnn for Eddie and Brandi's son, Jake, at Nobu restaurant in Los Angeles to celebrate his 18th birthday.
Brandi was not invited to this important milestone.
'I'm his mother, and I'm not invited?' said Brandi, the 52-year-old former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
'Eddie and I had a huge fight. There was a party at Nobu, but I wasn't invited, I wasn't invited to my own son's birthday party.
'LeAnn's his wife, she takes his side. I texted her about something else, but she didn't reply.
'Eddie is so in the mood to fight right now. Eddie and I aren't talking, we're not getting on.
'I need time to heal.'
For Mason's 18th birthday party in 2021, Brandi, Eddie and LeAnn celebrated at STK Steakhouse in Los Angeles.
Brandi is bewildered as to why, then, for Jake's party, she was snubbed.
In 2009, Eddie, 51, Brandi's husband of eight years and the father of her sons, Jake and Mason, 21, left her for country singer, LeAnn, 42, whom he went on to marry in 2011.
Brandi, the betrayed wife, vented her rage at them both and particularly LeAnn, at the start.
On one occasion she even threatened to kill her.
In an interview with The Sun in January this year, she said: 'It was not long after Eddie had left me for her.
'It was Eddie's day with our sons, and he'd taken them to a football match.
'LeAnn was with them. They're my kids, so obviously I was going to go too.
'When I got there, I saw LeAnn. She shouldn't have been there - it was too early in the relationship.
'She's sitting there, she's got my two-year-old, Jake, on my lap.
'I lost it. I walked over to her, grabbed Jake, and said to LeAnn: 'I will f***ing kill you.

Relationships

Denise Richards: Brandi claimed to have had an affair with Denise Richards, a claim Denise has denied.
'I was raging. I really wanted to hurt her.'
But ten years later, Brandi, Eddie and LeAnn buried the hatchet and became besties.
'It's the old saying, time heals,' said Brandi in the interview this year.
'I've forgiven the two of them for breaking up my family.
'We're friends.'
Brandi said the fact that all three were getting on so well makes the episode all the more upsetting.
'I just don't understand it,' she said.
Brandi and Eddie met in a nightclub and married in 2001. She thought she'd married her 'Prince Charming' but then in 2008, Eddie made a movie with LeAnn and the fairytale unravelled.
She found out about the affair in a magazine.

'Pictures of Eddie and LeAnn kissing in a restaurant were plastered across the pages of a magazine,' she said later. 'It was devastating. I went home, passed out in my closet, and cried and cried.
'She was married at the time, also. This affair was ruining two families.'
Brandi hated Eddie and LeAnn.
'It was really ugly,' she said. 'I did not want my kids around her. She had got my husband and she was not getting my children.
'I was out for revenge.
'She knew how to wind me up. I don't think LeAnn understood how she should behave to the mother of her husband's children.
"She would say things like, 'I can't wait for them to call me 'mum' and 'I can't wait to make your kids' sandwiches.'"
The three of them went to therapy. They saw three separate therapists, but it didn't work.
The turning point for Brandi was when her sons told her: 'Mum, all we want is for everyone to get along.'
The irony of the present situation is that the reconciliation came about as a result of Brandi's thinking how childish it was to keep having two separate parties for special occasions.
'The boys would have two birthdays, two Christmases. I was like: Why are we having two separate parties?
'Why don't we grow up and have parties all together?'
Why, indeed?
Both Eddie and LeAnn responded 'positively' to Brandi's suggestion they start having joint parties.
'So we started having birthdays and Christmas at LeAnn and Eddie's house,' Brandi said earlier this year.
'They have a pool, they have a nicer house, it's better for hosting events. It has its advantages. I don't have to host, cook, or clean.
'We do things together as a family. If Jake has wrestling, all four of us will go. It's a family affair.'
Things were so civilised that Mason, with Brandi's blessing, was living most of the time at Eddie and LeAnn's house, where he had 'his own space'.
Brandi said in January that as Jake would soon be turning 18, she, Eddie and LeAnn were planning to go and look at some colleges together.
That, presumably, won't be happening anytime soon.
