Friends Don't Let Friends Tweet Crazy

Courtney Love, rock musician famous for being married to Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, is being sued for libel after tweeting some nasty things about her personal fashion designer.

The suit also alleges Love commented on the designer’s business site, saying “The nastiest lying worst person I have ever known ... evil incarnate, vile horrible lying bitch." The plaintiff claims Love’s remarks have devastated her business.

Love appears to tweet fairly constantly—just reading backward in time on post no longer available, Love most recent MySpace post continues the people-are-cashing-in-on-my-dead-husband’s-name trend. Love writes that identity thieves have been buying houses all over the country. She also claims there are only 27 Cobains in the country and none in Ohio or New Jersey.

A quick search through the Whitepages, though, brings back four Cobains in Ohio and two in New Jersey, though one supposes they could be bogus as well. Or it could be time for Ms. Love to seek professional help—at least in the form of ghost blogging/tweeting.
