Billy Corgan has launched a Twitter tirade against Courtney Love, who’s now known as Courtney Michelle. She in turn, has for once been very restrained in response.Corgan began it all by announcing: “My face is my face, my heart is my heart, my money is my money. Oh, and my songs are MY songs (alluding to the fact that he allegedly wrote songs for the just-released Hole album Nobody’s Daughter). If you can’t write your own songs maybe you should just be happy that you fooled someone into doing your work for you. Maybe you should go (somewhere) nice [and] live off your husband’s money, (you) know, the money he made for writing all those great songs”.

Not satisfied, he carried on by taking a swipe at the fact that Courtney recently lost custody of her daughter, Frances Bean: “The world is aware of your lack of responsibility, as seen in the (government) taking away your parental rights. Only you could abandon such a beautiful, incredible child who is smarter than (you), cooler than (you), and better than (you). Oops, did I say too much?”

So far, all Courtney has said is: “All I am is nice about you so if you wanna be mean, be mean”.

We wait the next round of insults.
