It's On! Nick Cannon Escalates Twitter War With Chelsea Handler

Some people just can't take a joke. Or deliver one.

Nick Cannon, apparently, falls into both these categories as he launched full-scale Twitter warfare on E!'s own Chelsea Handler yesterday after a harmless (and if we may be so bold, quite funny) dig at Mr. Mariah Carey.

And here we thought it was the possibly pregnant woman who was supposed to be the hormonal one.

So what sparked this bizarre and mostly one-sided war of words? Not any relations with 50 Cent, though he eventually factored into the tiff. No, this battle all began with the following punchline:

"I just heard nick cannon is starting a comedy tour," the Chelsea Lately host tweeted. "Who's going to do the comedy?"

That, apparently, was just too harsh a barb for Cannon to bear.

"Wow @chelseahandler I actually used to have respect for you as a comic. But for one artist to diss another in the same art form. #Tasteless," he tweeted. "Soon as I get off stage tonight, I'm going in on @chelseahandler I'm about to be relentless! OFF WITH HER HEAD but right now I got to focus."

So, one tasteless move deserves another? Well, at least he kept everything in perspective.

Staying true to his word, Cannon released an avalanche of insults on Handler later that night.

"Funny how all of @chelseahandler fans are coming at my like I did something to her. I don't even know this broad! She on my s--t! But since it's all in fun and supposedly just comedy, Let's get to the muthaf--kin' JOKES!!"

Cue the rimshots, if only in Cannon's head:

"Everyone knows @Chelseahandler had sex with the head of E! for her show. So when it gets canceled does he get residual p--sy for the reruns? @Chelseahandler Looks like she got hit in the face with a hot bag of nickels!"

And, of course, he had to invoke Fiddy.

"Just talked to @50Cent He said he made @chelseahandler get G-Unit tattooed on her balls!"

Um, good one?

"@50Cent wasn't hitting @chelseahandler they was just sharing testosterone tips."

Gee, think someone hit a nerve? Not content to leave it there, Cannon then decided to broaden the list of celebrities he decided to insult by going after two superstars with much, much bigger platforms from which to hit back. Probably should've thought that one through a bit.

"@Chelseahandler @Howardstern @Eminem Why do all these angry ugly whitetrash folks want beef with me? What I do? I'm a harmless corny dude!"

Who doesn't know how to stop.

"@chelseahandler is like the new @joanrivers just without the funny and more plastic surgery."

Presumably, the fans shot back at Cannon for his runaway ego (and attempts at comedy), leaving him to slowly back out of the hole he dug.

"Just jokes people, LOL! Well I got to be at my next job in a few hours so I will continue the jokes on my morning show."

Boy, those listeners are in for a real treat.

They do NOT even deserve a thread.

I'm a harmless corny dude!

leave him be! it's not like he's getting regular pussy or anything.....he's bored.

ain't nobody checking for lil Nicky (which is kinda sad because it's not like he isn't mega-talented....)

Wow. This chick takes a dig at him and he's not supposed to respond.

Yes he may have taken it a little too far but damn this is Chelsea's mo.

You should expect a few celebrities to shoot back at her. I'm not a

Nick Cannon fan but i just don't get the hate dude receives for being

pretty much harmless and making an honest living.

Funny how those useless celebs attack eachother through tweets so much time in their hands ?

He would have been better off ignoring her comment. Chelsea makes fun of all celebrities, as you said, thats her MO. But if he felt he HAD to respond, he could have done it a better classier way that wouldnt make him look like a big crybaby. What she said wasnt even all that bad, she's made worse comments before. The way Nick responded, you'd a thunk she made a tasteless joke about their unborn baby. I'm not a fan of Nick or Chelsea, dont care about either one of them, but Nick showed himself to be a thin-skinned drama queen that cant even handle a mild joke

Yeah... it's like why even respond when his wife didn't even make a fuss. This is similar to the Eminem stuff. I understand defending your wife but come on...

Its hard defending twitter. Back when I used to check my account on the regular, I'd be waiting for bits and news items that may hit twittervile before they spread out(a faster means, if you will). But the trivial shit out weights everything else, suddenly, people I admire are twittering about taking a giant shit, for example so much for leaving just a lil' for the mystery.

It reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld's joke about folks' obsession with phone machines and how they should give people a chance to "miss them just a little bit"

Yeah I'm sick of Twitter now. I deleted a lot of stupid tweets from last year and darken it. I might not ever tweet again. Haven't tweeted since, I think, the 6th.

Twitter is sorry to say the biggest waste ever, its the new "beef" place to go, The New York Jets and New England Patriots played a few weeks ago, prior to the game, players got into a "twitter" war of words, im thinking arent you guys football players? Dont you break bones? Now you post things like "wait till sunday" or shit about someones girlfriend, oh please with this new generation of crap.

And see? When I realize people were doing that, that's when I just threw my hands up. I may just delete mine's for good. Tired of people #FF and doing all those hashtags (for what?), then retweeting any little thing you say. I got sunk into that in late 2009. If I wasn't in here most days in late 2009, it was on Twitter. But I'm through with it.

AWWW SHIT!!!

my advice for Nick Cannon is to grow some balls, hes never had them from day one, from his lame movies to his lame music career to his lame mtv show the guy is turning into (already is) an annoying little goof ball with no meaning. They are comedians, i would take Nick back and watch some tapes of that shit show on mtv he had (the only good thing from it was model Daphne Joy who is more relevant than him now) , on that show him and others ripped celebs all the time including his ex ms. milian, so it comes around, you did a show about ranks and jokes now live with it, take it, u wanna be a man step to chelsea or 50 cent or eminem or whomever, stop your weak ass twittering and posts on your website, be a man and take it, or be a man and take them on face to face, or just shut up.

Mariah must be really embarassed right now. Nothing more sad than B-listers like Nick and Chelsea making a big fuss through tweets. TWEETS.... that doesn't even sound bad-ass! Can you imagine telling your friend you dissed someone through TWEETS?! "Yo, I was tweetin' about this the other night and I think my tweets scared 'em"

You're right about that!

Mr Carey is hypersensitive to light humor. I'm puzzled about why he didn't go mano-a-mano with Em when he brutally dissed him on a track, not to mention called Mariah a drunken whore.
