But Lady Gaga and Perez Hilton have now taken their bitter feud public with the pop star accusing the gossip blogger of 'stalking' her.
In response, the 35-year-old 'critic' released a 352-word statement titled 'A Statement On LadyGaGa's Lies' on his website Sunday.
Furious: Lady Gaga was in LA on Sunday, but
accused Perez Hilton of 'stalking' when she found out he had been shown
around an apartment in her block by his realtor
The online storm broke after a fan tweeted the 27-year-old singer and told her Perez was being shown around an apartment inside her New York building.
The five-time Grammy winner, who was in Los Angeles at the time, had already taken to Twitter on Saturday to tell her followers about an insulting text her former friend had allegedly sent her following her hip injury.
The spat grew more complicated when a fan tweeted: 'PEREZ HILTON IS AT GAGA'S APARTMENT OH MY GOD'
Stop
sending death threats! Perez Hilton released a 352-word statement
titled 'A Statement On LadyGaGa's Lies' on his website Sunday wishing
Mother Monster 'happiness and continued success'
The Born This Way Singer - born Stefani Germanotta - replied by asking the fan to take photos for her as evidence.
Apparently intent on covering all bases, she then added: 'I'm asking the doormen to let you in so you can see if he's still there.'
Gaga then took things to the next level, tweeting in all-caps to Hilton: 'STAY AWAY FROM ME + MY FAMILY YOU ARE SICK TRYING TO RENT AN APARTMENT IN MY BUILDING TO STALK ME. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!'

Say cheese! Meanwhile, Lady Gaga spent quality time with her devoted fans outside the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood Sunday
But the songstress had more to get off her chest: 'DO I NEED TO BE SHOT IT IN THE HEAD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT HIM AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT HARASSES ME HAS GONE TOO FAR? I'M A HUMAN BEING.'
But blogger Hilton, born Mario Lavandeira, hit back with an angry statement on his website after he was deluged with death threats and his baby son was targeted by Gaga's obsessive fans.
'While it is still too painful for me to go into detail about why I chose to no longer make her a part of my life, I will say that I am a critic and not a "stalker,"' Perez wrote to his 6.1 million followers.
Beef: Hilton reportedly sent the Marry the Night
hitmaker a text calling her recent hip injury 'karma' for 'reductively'
copying Madonna's song Express Yourself
'Any allegation that I am stalking
her, based on a day of house hunting with my baby boy and my mother, is
utterly false, defamatory and now appears to be putting me and my family
in danger.'
Hilton continued: 'I hope her fans stop sending me death threats, as the suggestion that I pose a danger to Lady GaGa is preposterous...I do wish Lady GaGa happiness and continued success and I assure you my family house hunting has nothing to do with her.'
Perez also tweeted: 'No one is objective. #EveryoneHasAnAgenda' and 'I have a 19 inch penis! #DontBelieveEverythingSomeoneTweets.'

Dressing down: Gaga opted for a relatively
casual ensemble for this particular meet and greet, though her boots
were still miles high
Looking comfortable: The Paparazzi songstress leaned on the barrier looking well and truly at ease amongst her adoring fans
'Still have the text Perez sent me of me in a wheelchair w the words KARMA written across + Madonna pointing a gun at me. Day of my accident,' she tweeted.
Despite the online drama, Gaga put on a happy face to greet her fans yet again outside her Los Angeles hotel on Sunday.
The Judas singer dressed down in a red plaid shirt and tiny shorts for the meet and greet, but was sure to add a pair of typically enormous boots to the ensemble.
Time out: Lady Gaga sustained an injury that
turned out to be a broken hip leading to her being wheelchair-bound for a
while, which she claims Perez made fun of
