Courtney Love Is Not All That Convinced By Taylor Momsen

July 30th, 2009 // 4 Comments

Gossip Girl starlet / aspiring rocker Taylor Momsen turned 16 earlier this week, and she’s finally received her birthday gift from Courtney Love: A big old stream of invective over her basically inviting comparisons to the former Hole singer with her sartorial choices of blonde mop, red lipstick, eyeliner, and baby-doll dresses. Love, apparently sent over the edge by reports from a show by Momsen’s band, The Pretty Reckless, that name-dropped her as much as they did Momsen’s Gossip Girl co-stars, let her Tweet flag fly at near Momsen last night:

@taylorxmomson shut the FUCK up you overpriveliged bratty bitch that picked one every freak in high school mention my name again? BAM … is that youyr name? i dont watch tv or read teen mags and gossip rags so i wouldnt know, do NOT still “like my music”please … if i was pissy about every chick that every bit me id be busy indeed your just annoyingly cloyingly wrong.WORKWITHYRHANDS … oh btw i doubt it would be from me that BAM, i think it would be from every “freak” and Fag” in high school you ever picked on. Christ!UGH … ahhh and after taht im just going to go to find a friend and have a Virgin daquiri im sure @taylorxmomson your very “sweet” but idontcare … aha ah so @taylorxmomson so sorry although now ive spazzed inront of alot of people i feel lame, but theres a look in the eyes icanalwaystel



She also took the chance to give an endorsement to pink-haired fashionista Audrey Kitching. Of course, the one hitch in this plan: The @taylorxmomson Twitter account doesn’t exist, and neither does @taylorxmomsen, which uses the correct spelling of the actress’ last name. Perhaps Love was depending on people picking up those Tweets and disseminating them? If so, mission accomplished! (I’m not going to tell people to follow Neil Strauss, though. Sorry.)

  1. Instead of Kara DioGuardi returning to American Idol, I vote for Courtney Love to sit between Paula and Randy. Lord, hear my prayer.

  2. @cheesebubble: That would be so amazing.

    Every episode could be like this:

  3. How did she fit all that into a Tweet? I’m counting a little over 140 (garbled) characters.

  4. @Nicolars: I’ve never felt all that bad for Madonna before. Until watching that train wreck. I also thought, more than once, I was gonna have to see Courtney’s crotch. Thank god it never happened.
