Courtney Love has branded Madonna a "weak calculating artist".

The former Hole singer - the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain - praised the star as a great "businesswoman" but insisted she is a "joke" because she doesn't sing from the heart.

In a post on her MySpace page, Courtney wrote: "but im icy ssad- Madonna is a great business woman but come on she is a weak as an artista nd we akl lknow it- i like madge - but as a relevant musician - its a joke shes singing from such a calculating thought out place all the time its never from her gut or heart or intuition so maybe it sounds great an dis slick and you can hum it -discxo n dance it but ambitionand sass and shrewd does not equal great art- hard work and major dsicipline doesnt equal great art and all of those are great things- i covet thenm i haVE great disciplne and i do work like a bionic thing."(sic)

The 43-year-old rocker has been embroiled in a decade-long feud with Madonna ever since the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards when a seemingly intoxicated Courtney crashed Madonna's live interview and threw a make-up compact at her.

However, Courtney recently insisted she was ready to put any bad blood behind them and make amends.

She said: "Could someone please make the peace between Madonna and me? We have not spoken since her wedding. I want to make peace but hey I am not going to make the first move."
