(Jan. 29) - When Bill O'Reilly has a beef, you better believe his millions of viewers will hear about it. The FOX News host has made a career out of going after the likes of Rosie O'Donnell, David Letterman and a little company called General Electric. The ensuing feuds between parties are always a hoot, and recently, 'The O'Reilly Factor' has butted heads with Jessica Alba (over Sweden!) and the rapper Young Jeezy.
Take a look back at some of the bigger O'Feuds through the years:

Bill OReilly's Feuding Ways

    What's the Beef? The actress called the host "kind of an a--hole" when asked why she doesn't watch the show. As a result, Bill called her a "pinhead" for calling Sweden a neutral country, which it generally is.

    Bill O'Reilly vs. Keith Olbermann
    What's the Beef? Olbermann frequently names "Bill-O" as the winner of his 'Worst Persons in the World' segment, which inspired the FOX host to start a petition drive to replace Olbermann with Phil Donahue. It didn't work, and Keith continues the feud nightly. O'Reilly refuses to say his rival's name on the air any more.

    Bill O'Reilly vs. Rosie O'Donnell
    What's the Beef? Back when she was on 'The View,' Rosie got serious and insinuated that the capture of British sailors by the Iranian military was masterminded by the U.S. as a reason to justify a war on Iran. O'Reilly called Rosie "irresponsible" and "hateful," and called for ABC to terminate her contract.

    What's the Beef? The pair squared off in a debate back in 2001, where there was much shouting. Let's just say they've never liked each other. Watch a clip of the debate here.

    Bill O'Reilly vs. Ludacris

    Bill O'Reilly vs. Nas
    What's the Beef? When Nas announced he was staging a concert at Virginia Tech in the wake of the shootings there in 2007, O'Reilly called it an "abomination" and an "atrocity." Nas responded bluntly by labeling Bill a businessman whose "marketing plan is racism."

O'Reilly ignited his latest feud with the help of guest commentator Dennis Miller, when they both railed against Jeezy and Jay-Z for performing a race-tinged song called 'My President Is Black' at a pre-inauguration party. Miller called both stars "low class," renamed Jeezy "Young Emphysema" and O'Reilly challenged them to appear on the show to defend the song, which also includes digs at former President Bush.
Jeezy has declined the invitation, and has instead added a new line to the song in a remix that goes directly after O'Reilly and Miller.
"Bill O'Reilly --- - ----, nice try, you're really being a racist a--hole in a nice tie, and tell Dennis Miller his show sucks anyway, and I'd rather watch Jimmy Kimmel any day."

    Andy Samberg's seemingly-harmless impression of him on 'Saturday Night Live' didn't sit well with Mark Wahlberg, who told the NY Post that "it wasn't like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that's for sure." He went on to say he's turned down offers to host the late-night staple "a ton of the times" before appearing on 'SNL' to make fun of the entire episode.
