Twitter continues to lose some of its most-followed music celebs. Days after teen star Miley Cyrus removed her account, perpetual ranter Courtney Love has disappeared from the social-networking service.

Love's Twitter disappeared without warning, but its removal came soon after Love's teenage daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, laid into young Ali Lohan.

Cyrus, however, isn't disappearing so quietly.

With rumours that she left Twitter at the behest of supposed love interest Liam Hemsworth, the tween star and their friends channelled all their non-tweeting free time into a short, cheesy rap. "I stopped living for moments and started living for people," Cyrus sings, adding, "Everything that I type and everything I do, all those lame gossip sites take it and they make it news."

Cyrus admits to withdrawals, as well as missing Dane Cook's latest updates, but promises no more "fake feuds" with Demi Lovato.

Cyrus was leaving Twitter while she was on top. According to data from BigChampagne, Cyrus had the third most Twitter followers among musicians as of October 6, with more than 2,2 million users tracking her updates. Only Britney Spears and John Mayer had more.

But Cyrus and Love aren't the only high-profile musicians to disappear from the site. British singer Lily Allen, who ranks ninth among active Twitter musicians, hasn't updated since September 28, going quiet after taking heat for her views on Net file-sharing.

Earlier this year, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor stopped updating his account, declaring that "flesh and reality are calling".

In May, rapper Kanye West ranted against the service, writing while holding down the caps lock ke: "I'm too busy actually busy being creative most of the time and if I'm not and I'm just laying on a beach I wouldn't tell the world. Everything that Twitter offers I need less of."

Although she wasn't nearly as blunt, it appears Cyrus would agree. - Los Angeles Times
