And Finally Beef Of The Week

CMU Beef Of The Week #09: Courtney Love v Lily Allen (again)

By | Published on Saturday 6 March 2010

Yes, eagle-eyed readers, this week’s top pop fight is exactly the same one we featured last week. But, trust me, there has not been a better one in the last fourteen days. And by “better”, I of course mean “hilarious”.

So, to recap, things kicked off ahead of the BRIT Awards, after Courtney complained that Lily had made a deal with fashion house Chanel which stopped the Hole frontwoman from wearing the dress she wanted to. The feud continued onto last week’s NME Awards, and then spilled onto Twitter, where it has continued to escalate.

Lily insisted that there had been no argument at the NME bash, saying that “as a rule I don’t pick on crazy old ladies”. Courtney then hit back, describing Lily as an “oversteroid very nasty girl version of me when I was 30”, before things descended into the two women posting unflattering pictures of each other.

Courtney went with this.
And here‘s Lily’s choice.

Courtney also suggested that Lily (who had already referred to her as a “paranoid drug addled lunatic”) had a bit of a cocaine problem. Something the Hole frontwoman had apparently witnessed first hand when Lily turned up at her house, or something. Courtney tweeted: “I’m not the one on gak every night dear, you are … The night you did all the blow on earth? The night you home invaded me did all the blow I’ve ever seen in my home, wouldn’t leave and blamed ME for your shit show?”

Lily then tried, as she has several times, to put an end to the whole ordeal. However, she’s not yet realised that the best way to end it would be to stop responding. Pretending to be concerned for Courtney’s mental health probably isn’t going to work. Here’s what she said: “Don’t want to drag this thing out but, for the record, I thought Courtney Love was attacking me, hence my response. In retrospect, having read her Twitter updates and found them quite hard to decipher, I think she is in trouble and in need of help. I hope she has people looking out for her”.

This, I suspect, will rumble on for some time.
