Miley Cyrus isn’t the only singer to call it quits with Twitter.

Courtney Love’s Twitter page, @courtneylover79, where the former Hole frontwoman had offered streams of difficult-to-interpret rants that landed her in legal trouble recently, had been closed as of Sunday. A second account, @clcobain, was also closed.

According to the New York Times, Courtney was sued earlier this month by a fashion designer after the star lashed out with a string of allegedly defamatory Tweets.

Meanwhile, Miley, who previously released a rap video to explain why she’d quit the micro-blogging site, offered a more serious take on her exit on her private fan Web site, Mileyworld.

“It breaks my spirit to hear that some of you feel neglected since I deleted my twitter. It was a wonderful way to stay connected to you & I really felt like during that time we became very much like friends,” she wrote, according to Perez Hilton. “I love my job so much that it is hard to believe sometimes that it is considered ‘working.’ But, in the end it is still a business and I do need some sort of a ‘normal’ life as well.”

The star went on to acknowledge that by constantly Tweeting, she’d given up part of her personal life.

“I often complain to the ones closest to me that I don’t seem to have much of a private life any more and part of that is my fault,” she wrote. “How can I whine about my life being to public if I am the one telling the world what I am doing? Some things in my life need to say in my life only and not on some gossip site.”

And it’s not just Twitter Miley said she’s cutting back on, advising fans to spend less time online.

“I just think kids all over the world could maybe take a little vacation from Cyberspace,” she wrote. “My problem with the internet is it makes negativity so available. It allows people to anonymously hurt others without any consequences. That is not the real world. Not only that, but if we spent more time enjoying what we are doing besides tweeting about it, we would enjoy our lives a whole lot more.”

KURT Cobain's mother and sister might lose their homes because of two thieves who bilked his estate of more than $200 million, claims his widow, Courtney Love.

Earlier this month, Love made accusations against an alleged con man and con woman who can't be identified until court papers are filed. Love said they used Cobain's Social Security number to open up more than 188 credit cards in his name and refinance several homes - including Kurt's mother's, Wendy Fradenburg Cobain O'Connor.

"It's insane," Love cried in one of several ranting voice-mail messages she left us. "In Kurt's will, his mom was left 15 percent of his estate - the rest went to me and [daughter] Frances Bean. But we had to wait until the estate closed and probate was over. But it's been open 14 years! It's criminal."

An irate, shouting Love said she met the alleged con artists years ago through friends. Since then, she learned they have bought homes in New Jersey and upstate New York, taken private planes to and from Westchester and bought convalescent homes.

"I don't expect in a recession Americans to feel sorry for a person who's lost about $200 million, but this is nuts. I had [only] a $500 limit on my ATM card for years," Love said.

"Kurt's mother's home is in arrears and his sister Kim's home was repossessed by the bank . . . Investigators found 62 bank accounts I never opened. His mom should have $163 million by now with amortization from her part of the will. It's so frustrating. I was promised [by financial managers and lawyers] that 'before a penny drops in the wrong direction, we will be there. You will never be embezzled from.' I was.

"My own house was refinanced four times. I have never done this. I've owned one Toyota and one Prius in my life. There are auto loans on Kurt's [Social Security number] for a Mercedes and a Bentley. Someone applied online and got 27 American Express cards and 74 Visas on Kurt's Social [Security number]. Everything has been forged. There is a piece of paper with a forged signature where I supposedly declared myself incompetent and they took over everything."

Things got so bad that at one point, Love says, "I tried to commit suicide and went to rehab. I'm better now and the FBI in Orange County [Calif.] and Scotland Yard are handling this."

Courtney Love has credited actor Orlando Bloom with helping her to stay off drugs.

The singer said Bloom changed her life by introducing her to Buddhist chanting.

She told Access Hollywood: "We chant every day. The 12-step programme demands that you have a spiritual practice that you do daily."

The 43-year-old added: "I love Orlando for this. He doesn't mind being outed as a Buddhist. I don't mind talking about it because it has changed my entire life, changed everything - restructured my body, restructured my physicality. Truly I can, not all the time, but I can take joy at really s****y situations."
