The Feud Continues

men-arm-wrestling[Blind Gossip] This ugly on-set feud between these two macho movie stars got a lot of coverage a few months ago.

We noted at the time that there was this odd undercurrent of self-promotion that seemed out of place. The bigger star – who was much more vocal and public about the beef – kept interjecting his account of the feud with promotions for his other projects and products.

Months later, everyone’s moved on, right? No. While the smaller actor has moved on from the embarrassing incident, the bigger star is not quite done profiting off of it!

The feud wasn’t just opportunistic. It was calculated. It helped to sell the movie. Although it was over months ago, he will be bringing it up again as [his next project] premieres so people will talk about him.

He is also thinking about working with [rival] again because he knows that it would bring in a huge audience who will be anticipating some sort of friction or fight between the two.

So not only is he going to use the old feud to promote his new project… he is considering dragging the smaller star he supposedly hates into another new project just for the publicity!

    All’s fair in Hollywood! Fake fights and drama “break out” all the time around actors in movies, rappers, and even singers. It’s all part of the game. I don’t blame him for trying to cash in on it but it does look rather cheesy and desperate to all of us mere mortals who have to actually live real lives (working, going to school, etc).

    The Rock and Vin Diesel. I wouldn’t call one a bigger star then the other. Both on equal playing fields.

  18. Goodgrief says

    The Rock and Vin Diesel, he is no different than any other opportunistic celebrity that self promotes.

  21. LolaLeyton says

    The Rock and Vin Diesel but I don’t know which one’s the bigger and smaller one, they’re both C list as far as I’m concerned

    Dwayne (the Rock) Johnson

    Vin Diesel

    If both parties are on board for this “promotional stunt” and both are in total agreement, then by all means. It’s business and they both have projects and brands to sell. Hope things work out well for them both.

    Dwayne JOhnson ….. Vin Diesel ……

    Give it a rest with the feud….. we get it…. move on…..
    It’s like in wrestling … wrestlers with their story line… feuding and fighting ….

    I guess the Rock is the bigger star…..

  32. plumplum says

    Nobody will believe that the feud is real if The Rock and Vin Diesel again work together.
    It is pathetic !

  34. Arianna1 says

    Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. No it’s not fair or honest, but hey this is Hollyweird and nothing is real 🙂

    No it’s getting as ridiculous as Fast and Furious plot lines!

    Is that all that people in the entertainment industry do these days, lie, trick, and scheme for fame and fortune? It’s pathetic that you can’t believe anything that comes from these so called “celebs” anymore. It’s like the whole entertainment industry has turned into fake reality TV.

    The Rock Dwayne Johnson
    Vin Diesel

    This is stupid. I thought Dwayne was supposed to be one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. He doesn’t need these stunts to stay relevant

  40. CherryBomb27 says

    Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel. Johnson is a good talker and can sell anything, I think if Vin doesn’t have a problem and is, presumably, getting rewarded, let them do what they want.

  42. mastik8 says

    Why does the song “Secret Lovers” keep playing over and over in my head? They’ll both profit from keeping it alive. That’s why pretty soon they’ll be in buddy pics. Can they sing? I see Bing Crosby and Bob Hope type movies. Light hearted for our dark times.

    Bigger star: The Rock
    Smaller star: Vin Diesel.

    Is it fair? No, but Rock gets how being a heel makes you money and Vin doesn’t.

  54. PatioPrincess says

    This must be Vin Diesel and The Rock. It sounds like a reality show. Stop this now!, both of you, just stop!

  58. PriveNom says

    Bigger Star: Rock

    Smaller Star: Vin Diesel

    Opt: Fair??? is it Fair? Surely you jest. Hopefully everyone understands by now that there is a large invisible dome over LA where the mores of decency, common sense, & and good judgement that the rest of us live by do not break through that invisible dome to affect, or interfere with a talent pursuing his/her own best interest.

    I don’t know why the Rock needs anything so petty for publicity. The guy is everywhere. Very overexposed as it is if you ask me.

    DWAYNE THE ROCK JOHNSON and SCOTT EASTWOOD.

    Optional: This is, actually, GREAT news for Scott Eastwood. He is only getting famous because he is the son of legendary Clint Eastwood.

    Yet another attention-seeking star… Well played, Mr Rock.

    Any publicity is good publicity?

  74. WillowPotter says

    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

    Vin Diesel

    No, I think that he needs to be the bigger (no pun intended) and intelligent person move on. He doesn’t need to have scandal in order to sell films, I love the guy but not this behavior.

  78. mmj120 says

    The Rock & Vin Diesel.

    Weird because I really don’t think The Rock needs publicity like this that badly.

    Rock, what the f** are you doing man??

  88. Mamamarjo says

    Damn, I used to like the Rock, Vin Diesel not so much. Now I don’t like both of them.
    optional: no

    Easy peasy

    Bigger star: Dwayne johnson/the Rock Paper Scissors

    Smaller star: Vin diesel

    The rock is not above fake publicity after all, I guess, if most people doesnt know what happened behind the scene then i’ll say go for it, cause i’m sure people will curious how it’s gonna turn out, but if most people already read this blind item then the fake feud is not gonna work out well so its better just to forget it.

    Oh yeah i guess both of them are “big” Ace, not small at all. 😀

    1. The Rock
    2. Vin Diesel

    Was thinking, batman n superman but never heard of that and ben being a director wdnt. Rock sexiest MOY. He shd stop before he looks like a b… He was said to be the nicest guy in hollywood. Altho he’s worked very hard for years he probably feels he deserves press and attention finally.

  97. Pierre Latin says

    I known The Rock in real life. He is 6 3″ at best. Actually, I’m pretty sure he is only 6 2″.

  99. Aurelia says

    The Rock

    Diesel Feul

    Optional: Self-aggrandizement always bites people in the a*s. It’s tacky. Also desperate.
