CNN's Don Lemon: Jonah Hill
November 9, 2012

Jonah Hill** has gotten too big for his britches, according to CNN anchor Don Lemon.

The 46-year-old TV journalist got into a Twitter war with the 21 Jump Street actor Nov. 8. "Said hi to Jonah in a hotel," Lemon wrote. "Think he thought I was a bellman. Didn't know his name til the bellman told me. A lesson to always be kind."

Lemon later added that Hill, 28, "was a tool."

The tweets eventually caught Hill's attention, who responded via the social networking site. "I said hi. What do you want me to do, move in with you? I was in a hurry," the actor explained. "Didn't realize you were a 12 year old girl. Peace."

Lemon, who is openly gay, fired back, writing, "Hardly. You're not my type. But I know rude. And you were."

An hour later, Hill explained his actions. "I walked out of the restroom and found you waiting for me," the Superbad star wrote. "Shook hands, said hi and was on my way. Sorry if you found that rude."

Lemon explained that he was simply waiting for his luggage. "The bellman and I laughed at how self-important you were. Just being honest. Be nice. Stardom is fleeting."

Hill later removed his tweets, while Lemon vowed to share his side on CNN's Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien.

I'm not defending Jonah,because I obviously wasn't there but I don't see how him replying hello and shaking Dons hand was rude? Also,when he called him a 12 year old girl I think he was reffering to Dons actions,not sexual orientation. Oh well I think all celebs could use a little slice of humble pie.

Who is Jonah Hill? I never heard of him! People kind of know who Don Lemon is. I guess the big guy didn't recognize Don Lemon outside of CNN anchor chair. He probably couldn't place where he knew him from. The question is, How did Don even recognize this guy on the street? He looks like any other average fat dude. He looks like the guy on Modern Family. Anyway, Don shouldn't have gone out of his way to speak to him anyway. Folks I don't really know that well or care for, I don't make that big of an effort to speak to them.

None of you seem to get the point. Jonah says he did say Hi but brushed the guy off probably because Jonah Hill is a Homophobe! That seems clear by the Tweet he wrote where he said to Lemon, who is a well respected openly gay journalist, that he acted like a 12 year old GIRL!!! Jonah Hill owes Don Lemon an apology. Personally, I don't understand how Jonah got where he is. He is not funny. He's a fat not very good-looking guy whose movies trash women. He has got too big for his britches, figuratively physically.
