In the Battle of the British Funnymen, Simon Pegg Calls Ricky Gervais a 'Fat Idiot' [Pick Your Side]

In the annals of celebrity feuds, we tend to prefer the light-hearted frivolity of a Seth Green/Shia LeBeouf dustup to the knock-down, "no one gets away unscathed" fights like Alec Baldwin on Greg Garcia. That's why we're so stymied by the latest and most unlikely entry in the feud genre: the war of words between Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg and Ricky Gervais, the Emmy-honored creator of Extras and The Office. So far, the battle (instigated by Pegg's mouthy appearance on a British radio show) is one-sided, but we fear a rebuttal from Gervais could embroil both talented comedians in a zero-sum rivalry. The Telegraph has the scoop: While promoting his new film, How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, Pegg was asked if he, like Gervais, felt under pressure from the LA lifestyle. Pegg, 38, said: "He says a lot of things, that man. "He said there'd been no good British films since 1950. What an idiot. If you go to LA, you can get sucked into that. "I've seen people go there and suddenly become rake-thin because there is a slight pressure on you to be thin. "I've seen a lot of fat people there." Jamie Theakston, who was interviewing Pegg for a radio show commented that Gervais was apparently not receiving that kind of pressure. Pegg said: "He's one of the fat people in LA, yes." Simon, picking on Ricky Gervais will get you nowhere — just ask Joan Rivers! As fans of both actors, we're reluctant to pick sides, but we can't help but think Pegg has made a crucial mistake. Though we loved Simon in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, we're pretty sure that after this fight, that Oscar for Run, Fatboy, Run just got a whole lot more unlikely.
