Courtney Love's 140 character Twitter rants against a fashion designer are costing her more than $430,000, an attorney says. The singer has settled a lawsuit filed by Dawn Simorangkir, who sued the Hole frontwoman in March 2009 accusing her of making false statements about the designer and her past in a series of postings on the microblogging site Twitter and Love's Myspace blog.

The settlement was confirmed by Simorangkir's attorney, Bryan J. Freedman. The designer's label is called Boudoir Queen, and according to her lawsuit, she first came in contact with Love in 2008 and they met in February 2009 in Los Angeles to discuss some custom clothing.

The lawsuit contained several postings written under Love's former Twitter account, courtneylover79, that accused Simorangkir of theft and of having a criminal background.

"Personally I think $430,000 is an appropriate way to say she's sorry," Freedman said.

The dude's attorney thought that having Courtney pay $430,000 was "the appropriate way" to show she was sorry? Obviously -- he got a third of whatever the settlement turned out to be. He was probably hoping her sorry had a few more zeros in it. Regardless, Courtney's going to have to realize that even though opening her mouth might have originally earned her her money, if she doesn't close it soon it might cost her what's left.
