Courtney Blog-Blasts Billy Corgan for Making Frances Bean Cry

Courtney Love has reportedly taken to a social networking site to condemn Billy Corgan because he won't be attending her daughter's Sweet 16 celebration next month. In a bitter and somewhat incoherent tirade last week, Love purportedly took aim at the Smashing Pumpkins frontman and former Hole collaborator on a social forum Web site, calling his behavior "unacceptable" and accusing the guitarist and singer of making her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, cry.

"Corgan, I'm at work and am too tired to find you or get a number that you still have not sent me," Love blogged. "Out of whatever misguided shame thing you're going through (that is a private conversation), you do not make children cry. A sweet sixteen is a big event and I think she looked upon you as family. I know she did, as a trustworthy and wise (child), and you can't lay your s--- on a child of [m]ine, and you as a man of 40 -- my child sobbing, due to you, is unacceptable. I hate stating this on some random public forum, but the line is the kid, man. The line is the kid, and she does not get to shed tears over you. Her family has already done that."

"From now on, and trust me, she will never call you again," Love continued. "You can speak to me and I will pass it on to my family ... which won't happen due to this absurd shame you are having. I was and won't ever say anything of negative content publicly about you – but you made my 14 year old child sob on purpose. That is enough of you. You're the last man on the island, yet you don't understand why they are all so alienating. Hubris, my dear Hubris, on a level I've never known, the frenzy of reknown [sic], you miss so terribly. Just admit it, accept it, and let it go. In the meantime, don't make my kid or anyone's kid cry again."

In the same post, Love claims that My Chemical Romance will be playing the party, indicating that frontman Gerard Way has urged one on his bandmates to postpone his honeymoon so the band can attend.

Corgan – who evidently became close to Love when he moved into her Los Angeles home in 2006 in an effort to help reignite her dormant music career – has supposedly ceased communications with her.
