\n One of the girls on an iconic Smashing Pumpkins<\/strong> album cover is calling BS on Billy Corgan<\/strong> for claiming the band’s new bassist was the OTHER girl on the cover. Let us explain. <\/p>\n

\"0222_smashing_pumpkins_album_cover_EX_3\"<\/p>\n

An all growed up Ali Laenger<\/strong> tells TMZ there’s no way the bassist — Nicole Fiorentino<\/strong> — is the girl who posed for the ’93 “Siamese Dream” album shot because: <\/p>\n

— Nicole’s age doesn’t match. Doing the math, Nicole would have been about 14 when the pic was shot … the girl on the album is clearly around 7.
— Ali says the photo was shot specifically for the album, and not a candid pic as Nicole has claimed.<\/p>\n

Corgan tweeted<\/strong><\/a> Nicole’s tale a few days back, but he’s either joking with fans … or Nicole pulled one over on him. <\/p>\n
