"The internet is such a great thing," said Julia Louis-Dreyfus, presumably sarcastically, before reading a Twitter screed for Jimmy Kimmel Live's ninth installment of Celebrity Mean Tweets. The meanness level of the tweets varies, including a 140-character dart that Kurt Russel took as a compliment to a Liv Tyler insult that was really about her father, Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler. As always, the reactions are usually more interesting than the tweets themselves. Most of the celebrities laugh off the social-media abuse, but Sarah Paulson gives as good as she got. Watch below.
