Ryan Adams responds to Courtney's rants

Ryan Adams has denied any romantic, personal or financial involvement with Courtney Love, saying his Rock N Roll album was financed by Universal Music.

Courtney Love is always accusing someone of stealing from her, attacking her, trying to ruin her daughter's life or just generally doing wrong by her. She recently went back to ranting about her old nemesis Ryan Adams, who she has on various occasions accused of funding the recording of his 2003 album, 'Rock N Roll', using a credit card stolen from her.

Adams has always been fairly coy on the subject, but after a new article appeared on Gawker, referring to him as her "ex-boyfriend", he issued a statement via his publicist in an attempt to clear the matter up once and for all. It reads: "I have never had any romantic, personal or financial involvement with Courtney Love. She is confusing me with her ex, who produced my 'Rock N Roll' record, which was financed solely by Universal Music".

It seems Courtney has realised the confusion already, though, as said producer and ex, James Barber, has of late been a subject of a sustained attack from Love recently. She has been accusing him of all kinds of things on Twitter lately, including putting porn on her computer while she was out and bugging her phonecalls. He's getting a break today, though. She's now accusing Peaches Geldof of offering her daughter drugs. Oh, and the whole thing with 'Guitar Hero' makers Activision is still on-going. It must be very stressful to be Courtney Love.
