No Joy for Alley

A pretty spectacular Twitter war has broken out between former “Fat Actress” star Kirstie Alley and “The View“co-host Joy Behar — though it’s unclear why.

The two TV stars have been exchanging nasty tweets for more than two weeks, though it appears the war of 140-characters began when Alley took issue with the coverage of the Tiger Woods’ cheating scandal on “The Joy Behar Show,” the nightly talk show Behar hosts on HLN.

“And WHY has Joy Behar turned into such a self righteous c- – – head? OOOOooo that’s right . . . FOREVER!” Alley tweeted.

A short while later she added: “CHEATING is between a husband and wife. Not TMZ and Joy Bewhore . . . God, I want to bash her in the vagina with her microphone.”

Other Twitter subscribers quickly complained to Alley about her strong language and warned that her comments might provoke a response.

In response, the former “Cheers” actress claimed Behar “already WENT after me several times,” and that “she trashes some celeb every night on her HLN show and every day on the view.”

Behar appears to have ignored Alley’s tirade until last Friday, when the talk-show host took mocking notice of what, until then, had been a one-sided fight.

“Kirstie Alley calls me Joy Bewhore,” Behar tweeted. “Compliments! Compliments!”

The bitter feelings and public bashing has been a real head-scratcher, since no one can recall why there might be so much bad blood between the two women.

Alley’s representatives did not respond yesterday to a request for comment.

And a CNN spokeswoman seemed as perplexed as everyone else by the feud.

“This is why we love Joy — she has strong opinions and gets people talking (and tweeting, as the case may be),” the spokeswomen said in a prepared statement.

Kirstie has been an active Twitter person — posting tweets several times a day about struggling with her weight and filming a new reality show for A&E, set to air this spring.

Alley’s name has come up only once before on Behar’s HLN show — last November when the actress tweeted an angry response to Conan O’Brien making fat jokes about her.

Joy used the tweet — “I’ll tell you, one bitch I’m going to knock out next time I see her is Conan O’Bitch O’Brien” — to ask if jokes about weight are fair game.
