I have a feeling this may be something of a one-sided feud. Courtney Love recently posted a garbled message on her MySpace page that sounds like it could be interpreted as a diss toward Gwen Stefani.
we were doing our hair( thew girls) way up in that ugly crazy building and couyld seeyou all for blocks, it was wild-= i told my peeps top go get bvoys wiuth skateboards and giurls whow ere into stefani, no offense to truyew fans i just felt like a challenge- if someone sreally into stefani to me that says they dontw anta nty trouble in thoe rlives, want very mucbh to be p[opular abnd accepted, wnatto be trendy but niot dangerous, and the idea of forcin gthat waznna be popular girl to face the fear cdoes somethin for me.It would appear that Courtney's trying to call Gwen out for being a crowd-pleaser and as much as I love me some crazy Courtney, it seems like her anger's a bit misplaced. I am a fan of both ladies, but I gotta say that Courtney would be better off starting something with a pop star that doesn't even both writing any of their own music, and there are PLENTY to choose from.

Serial-Monogamy offers a possible translation for Courtney's entire post after the jump...
Courney's rambling entry continues as follows...
"/plus im startinga clotyhing line this year too, just higher end and the lowerr end wont be about a font. i wouldbnt do that iu fond that crass somehow= a sportsac ten times the prio ce because it has ther same cuddle bear sweeetoe pie sign off that Rossdale used to sign hios letters to me with in a Times Courier font ? maybve its me, i know perfeume has a 800 -1200% profit markup so if one "brands" oneself well enough one can cash it in big an d hard by selling a perfume wethe rone gioves a shot about the smell opr not- kudos to madge for forgoinmg that , because nop way hads she not been asked. L.A.M.B. heh, well look its not fo rme to judge- im far mior eonteretsed in amazin g lingerie enyways and if i design a bag itll be fabulous"
SUGGESTED TRANSLATION:
"We were hanging out in some building where we could see the whole neighbourhood and I got my crew to go 'get' boys with skateboards and girls who were into Gwen Stefani. No offense to true fans but fake people seem to pick Gwen as a safe artist to like and I wanted to teach them a lesson for being such wannabees. I'm also starting a clothing line this year. It won't be about a font. I won't charge 10 times the normal price because it has some cuddle bear sweetiepie sign off that Rossdale used to put on his letters to me. Maybe it's just me but I know perfume has is 800-1200% profit markup so if one "brands" oneself you can cash in big even if nobody cares what it smells like. (Kudos to Madonna for pioneering this). LAMB, lol, I'm more interested in G lingerie. If I design a bag it'll be fabulous."Girlfriend needs to focus on one thing at a time. Get that album going first and then we'll talk!
green cardigan says:
Jeez, did Courtney type that message with her feet?
CU Next Tuesday says:
Gwen is as big of rip off artist as anyone else in the music industry. She has an amazing talent for taking things off the street, putting her stamp on it and selling it as her own.
If she didn't know how to do this, she would be fronting a Missing Person's cover band and that's about it.
Courtney on the other hand? Another rip off artist, in this case she has other people write her music. She learned from the very best there was - yes - there was nary a creative bone in Kurt Cobain's drug addled body - there is plenty of evidence to support music he blatantly stole for bands that were not yet known.
The last time Courtney took a jab at Gwen, we got "Holla Back Girl"

Courtney's shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
This would've been so much funnier if it had happened in 2005.
Hook on Phonics worked for ME! says:
um, instead of worring about Gwen, i think Courtney needs to invest in some basic english writing classes. It's sad that a grown woman, mother, and celebrity can be so famous and yet so uneducated (although it dont take a college degree to know how to write). I understand that on the internet that people tend to not proof-read, spell check, have typo's or tend to like writing in shorthand (wat u doin 2nite?), etc, but that garbage was just sad and very hard to read.
She could at least get some private lessons, hooked on phonics, or some software that can teach her how to read/write. its not that expensive, and it wont take a lot of time to learn..(but then again, i'm talking about someone who probaby has chemical brain damage from all of the years of drugs and booz... so it might take a while) its just sad to me that someone who is someones idol is so ... dumb. sorrie!

This would've been so much funnier if it had happened in 2005. Oh well, I guess getting accosted by Courtney Love is just one more thing Gwen now has in common with Madonna
T-Bone says:
I haven't heard a decent song come out of either of their mouths in ages!
Gwen dresses and sings for 12 year old girls and Courtney hasn't had good song since being the "girl with the most cake".
Gwen needs to run back and beg No Doubt for a second chance and Courtney just needs to shut up and stop getting plastic surgery.
NuggetBrain says:
I think we've just discovered Brit Brit's birth mother.
hazel says:
hahahaha I was thinking the same thing!!!
There's no debating that neither of them have any real talent. But then again, neither does Madonna... it's all about being a business and Gwen IS one. Countney Love is just a washed up junkie, and THAT'S what she's really mad about.
Shooting says:
You need one of those windtalker "code breakers" from WWII to figure out what the hell she is saying.
p.s. Gwen does suck as a solo artist, but Courtney sucks more.
genny says:
Ugh. Come on. I'm not that invested in Gwen Stefani but Courtney Love's a talentless attention whore. Her music stinks and she's a trainwreck. How long can one actually ride the coattails of one's dead husband's fame?
Jane says:
Iggy Pop -- one of Kurt Cobain's big idols/influences -- is proof positive that no amount of drugs and/or rock & roll debauchery can serve as an excuse for Courtney Love's atrocious illiteracy. Iggy has been through it all, yet can still string together words into articulate thoughts. Courtney isn't even managing to spit out words.
Sorry, nothing to blame here; she's just stupid.
sarah says:
When did Janis from the Muppetts and Annie Hall have a love-child?! The '70s WERE crazy!
Um, Duh says:
"Serial Monogamy" needs to improve his or her reading comprehension because it's plainly obvious that Courtney says of M not have a perfume, "kudos to Madge for foregoing that because there's no way she has not been asked." It's clear as day.
echoroc says:
i thought courtney was supposed to be clean and sober now? i type that way when i'm drunk.
Kayce says:
Good on ya, Um Duh. I thought the same thing myself... it was one of the few clear thoughts in the whole post and it was the one that Serial Mono f-ed up. Although I'm pretty sure he got the rest right. =)
