Courtney Love took the stand on Wednesday in her so-called ‘Twibel’ trial in which she is accused of libelling a lawyer on Twitter.

The Hole frontwoman is being sued by her one-time lawyer, Rhonda Holmes, after Love posted a tweet in 2010 that suggested Holmes had been “bought off”.

The emotional musician told her lawyer on Wednesday that she is useless with computers, and that she thought that she was just sending a personal message and deleted it when she realised it had been made public.

Love said that her tweet was an exaggeration and, through her lawyers questioning, argued that the Internet is full of opinion.

Holmes’ attorney Mitchell Langberg said Love’s testimony affirmed her intent with the tweet.

“The jury’s really going to have to decide if there’s anything special about Twitter,” Langberg said.

“When you make false statements a fact about someone that hurt their reputation, are you responsible for them, just like you would be anyplace else?”

At the time, Love had retained Holmes and her San Diego firm, Gordon & Holmes, to pursue a fraud case against the executors of her late husband Kurt Cobain’s estate.

Holmes sued Love in May 2011 over the tweet sent from the now suspended @CourtneyLoveUK account.

“@noozjunkie I was f***ing devastated when Rhonda J Holmes Esq of san diego was bought off @fairnewsspears perhaps you can get a quote,” she tweeted.

‘I loved being ugly!’

She’s a gorgeous actress who stuns on the red carpet.

But, believe it or not, Vanessa Hudgens doesn’t always like to be glamorous.

In the new issue of Nylon, the 25-year-old admits she really enjoyed becoming unattractive for her new movie Gimme Shelter.

Vanessa plays a homeless and pregnant 16-year-old who finds help at a suburban shelter.

The gritty part required her to go through a dramatic transformation which included gaining 15lbs, cutting off her long hair, and wearing nose and lip rings.

But the High School Musical star enjoyed every second of her new look.

“I loved looking into the mirror and seeing myself with short hair and bad skin and tattoos.

“The uglier I could make myself, the more giggly I would get on the inside,” she added.

Bill Cosby to create new family sitcom for NBC

It’s been 14 years since his last sitcom wrapped.

Now it looks like Bill Cosby is set to return to the small screen in a comedy for NBC, which first aired The Cosby Show 30 years ago.

The TV company has confirmed that the 76-year-old actor-comedian has signed a deal to develop and star in a new half-hour sitcom, Deadline Hollywood reports.

It is being produced by Tom Werner, whose company produced the 1980s hit, according to AP.

The star, who played Cliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show, will again play the head of a multi-generational family. Cosby and Werner are reportedly meeting writers for the project.

Bill told Yahoo TV in November that he wanted to develop another family comedy that “would [satisfy] the people who have come to me in public places and said, ‘Can’t you put something on that I can watch?'”

“There is a viewership out there that wants to see comedy, and warmth, and love, and surprise, and cleverness, without going into the party attitude.”

The project is in the early stages, and an NBC spokesman told AP on Wednesday that there is yet to be a series order or a deal to produce a pilot episode.

The Cosby Show launched in September 1984 and ran for eight seasons. It focused on obstetrician Cliff Huxtable and his upper middle-class, African American family living in Brooklyn, New York.
