Courtney Love says it was an impostor who posed as her on Twitter and called Chelsea Handler “a leathery idiot.” She told us the person writing under the handle cloverxxxlove — who referred to Handler dating hotelier Andre Balasz as “carrying round a midget” — was “absolutely not me. I was horrified to find whoever it was was insulting my friends . . . I would never be so classless as to discuss their private lives in such a vulgar manner. I deleted my Twitter account months ago.”
