The Jonas Brothers have broken up, at least temporarily. A rep for the group told CNN on October 10 that there is "a deep rift within the band. There was a big a disagreement over their music direction." Think that's bad? Check out these other celebrity feuds: 
The beef between Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne dates back to an open letter Gaga wrote, accusing Kelly of being a bully. When Kelly O. saw that Gaga had offered her a birthday cake on October 27, she tweeted, "Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the (world) away? ... #EatMyS***." 
Kanye West has given Jimmy Kimmel the rap feud he's always wanted. After Kimmel poked fun at West's interview with the BBC -- in which the entertainer called himself the No. 1 rock star on the planet -- West went to Twitter to air his profane grievances (in all caps, of course). The two later made amends with a televised sitdown. 
Rapper Kendrick Lamar not only set Twitter on fire with his guest verses on Big Sean's song "Control," he also stoked the flames of a bit of a hip-hop beef. Lamar called out his fellow lyricists to step up their game, which irritated some and led to rapper Joell Ortiz recording a rebuttal. 
After her heart attack in 2012, Rosie O'Donnell received support from an unlikely source: Donald Trump. The two engaged in a pretty high-profile feud in the past with her calling him a "snake-oil salesman" and Trump retorting that she was a "loser." 
Onetime friends Denise Richards and Heather Locklear hit a major impasse after the former started dating the latter's ex, Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora. In interviews, Richards denied that she and Locklear were still friends at the time she began seeing Sambora. 
As a teen star, Hilary Duff reportedly dated heartthrob Aaron Carter before he broke up with her to get with Lohan -- and then tossed Lohan aside to win back Duff. The actress told People magazine in 2007 that she and Lohan had made peace. 
Yah, we couldn't believe it either. MC Hammer reportedly took offense to Jay-Z guest-rapping in a Kanye West song ("So Appalled") that "Hammer went broke so you know I'm more focused/I lost 30 mill so I spent another 30/Cuz unlike Hammer 30 mill can't hurt me." Hammer took it to where all celebs take their beefs now, Twitter, and released a diss track, "Better Run Run." 
Kanye West and Taylor Swift had one of the greatest celeb feuds of all time. The rapper famously grabbed the singer's mic at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. He later apologized, and she seemed to accept his apology via her song "Innocent." 
It appears that rapper Lil' Kim has not taken too kindly to what she views as newercomer Nicki Minaj's lack of respect and similar style with the colored wigs and sexually explicit lyrics. The pair have traded insults all over the media. 
It's a case of he said/she said/he said. Eminem set it off after he claimed to have had a torrid dating relationship with singer Mariah Carey, who denied it. Her husband, Nick Cannon, even offered to defend her honor by meeting the rapper in the ring. 
This pair of wild-child socialites helped to coin the term "frenemies" after their very public bust-up in 2004. The former "Simple Life" co-stars went on to make up two years later. 
Oprah Winfrey was reportedly annoyed by David Letterman's constant joking references to her name when he hosted the Academy Awards in 1995. The late-night talk-show host told "The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart he had also once played a practical joke on Wnfrey, convincing a waiter that she had agreed to pick up his tab. They have since made peace. 
The gossip blogger claimed Will.i.am and his security guards attacked him at an awards show over some unkind words he had written about the musician's Black Eyed Peas bandmate Fergie. Will.i.am denied he had anything to do with it. 
Superstar Tom Cruise got on Brooke Shields' bad side by decrying her use of medication to treat postpartum depression. Shields responded with an op-ed in The New York Times, and Cruise later apologized for his remarks. 
- The Jonas Brothers have broken up, People reports
- Kevin Jonas tells magazine the group is "over for now"
- The news follows the band's earlier tour cancellation
(CNN) -- It looks like that "deep rift" among the Jonas Brothers has led to a breakup.
The boy band, which recently canceled a planned 19-show national tour following a disagreement over musical direction, is no longer a group.
"It's over for now," Kevin Jonas, 25, told People magazine, which first reported the news. His brother Joe, 24, called it a "unanimous decision."

Jonas Brothers cancel concert tour The three decided to go their separate ways after Nick Jonas, 21, spoke up during an October 3 meeting, according to the magazine.
"I was feeling kind of trapped," Nick said. "I needed to share my heart with my brothers."
The Jonas Brothers skyrocketed to fame through the Disney Channel's "Camp Rock" movie series. They signed with Disney's Hollywood Records label in 2007, and their albums -- including solo projects -- have sold 20 million copies worldwide.
But in recent years, each brother has broken out with his own projects: Kevin and his wife, Danielle, have a reality show on E! and are expecting their first child. Joe has gone in a more adult direction with his music career, and both he and his brother Nick have released solo albums and expanded into acting.
No purity ring for this Jonas in new video
Rumblings that the band was in a pretty bad spot have grown louder over the past few weeks after a spokesman confirmed there was "a deep rift" within the pop group.
On October 17, their official Twitter account was deactivated, and Joe Jonas asked fans via his personal account on October 22 to "please hold while we get our s*** together."
The three worked together on new music earlier this year, releasing singles "Pom Poms" and "First Time," but one industry insider told People it could be "the beginning of the end."
CNN's Carolyn Sung, Rachel Wells and Jane Caffrey contributed to this report.
