The Guardian excitedly reveals this morning:
"Grab your popcorn! Billy Corgan and Courtney Love are on a collision course, and we all have tickets to the show ...Corgan fired off a full-blown Twitter tirade yesterday..."
Before adding, the slightly barbed:
"The squabble couldn't be happening to two nicer publicity junkies."
Indeed, the widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain is no shrinking violet when it comes to publicity stunts - both obvious and unlikely. For example, here she is 'taking an editorial meeting' at the Guardian earlier this year as part of a publicity stunt for that particular paper.
But back to the breaking news. What was Love's response to this "tirade"? The Guardian's North American music correspondent informs us:
"All I am is nice about you so if you wanna be mean, be mean," she wrote...
Yowzer!
But if that remarkably tame response doesn't satisfy your need for celebrity bickering, fear not:
"For those expecting a more fearsome counter-attack, don't worry. We have a feeling the best is yet to come."
So, this is one from the 'stand on the same spot (or 'Twitter' to its friends) long enough and you're bound to see some news' school of journalism.
