About this episode
When Perez Hilton invited the then-rising star Lady Gaga to his 2008 Las Vegas Fourth of July bash, he couldn't have predicted that she would rocket to stardom and transform into his arch-nemesis. From besties to battling it out on Twitter, the friendship of these pop culture icons spectacularly imploded. This episode delves into their dramatic fallout and examines how social media can serve as a battleground where supporters become soldiers in the online battle.
