Johnny Depp Saved Courtney Love’s Life

Bang — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:00:35 +0000

Johnny Depp once saved Courtney Love’s life.

Johnny Depp had to give the Courtney Love, who has a history of drink and drug abuse, the kiss of life when she collapsed after a heavy session.

She said, “Nobody has ever loaned me money. I mean, I was going to die on a few occasions. Johnny Depp gave me CPR on one. That’s as close as I ever got. I was watching that movie where he plays Dillinger, and I was like ‘Mother f***er, I never had myself any JD except CPR.’ ”

Courtney, widow of Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain, also revealed strangers gave her money following her financial difficulties earlier this year.

She and her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean are currently staying at a New York hotel while they wait for work to be completed on a nearby apartment, and she admits they’ve been treated like royalty.

She told Britain’s Style magazine, They are the best staff in the world. When my bank account got frozen, we had $14.32 a week, so we lived off the kindness of strangers. The guy at the travel agency put his credit card down for the hotel. How insanely nice is that? And we are on the sixth floor. Not love nor money will buy you this floor.”

Courtney Love planning to “sue the s***” out of Activision

Chris Greenhough — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 18:22:55 +0000

Courtney Love has hopped back on the Crazy Train, ranting at Activision for its portrayal of Kurt Cobain in Guitar Hero 5. That is, the portrayal that she approved.

There’s been an outcry about Cobain’s appearance in the game, and not just because you can watch the Nirvana frontman’s avatar sing along to Flavor Flav. Commentators have argued that Cobain’s memory has been exploited and soiled by his inclusion in a product that he would have had little interest in endorsing.

Getting him in the game reportedly took three years of negotiations, with Love, Universal Publishing, and (former Nirvana drummer) Dave Grohl all involved. Now, Love denies (via her Twitter feed) that she approved the Cobain avatar, while exhibiting the spelling and grammatical prowess of a drunk manatee:

“FOR THE RECORD I DID NOT APPROVE KURTS AVATAR FOR GUYITARHERO5. i think Kurt would despise this game alone let alone this avatar”

This directly contradicts a statement made by Activision’s Tim Riley, from last month:

“Courtney supplied us with photos and videos and knew exactly what she wanted Kurt to look like. She picked the wardrobe and hair style, which turned out to be the ‘Teen Spirit’ look, then we went back and forth over changes – some subtle, some not so subtle.”

Alas, it sounds like Love will not be deterred in her attempts to take Activision down. Labelling the publisher a “bully,” she adds:

“WE are going to sue the s[***] out of ACtivision we being the Trust the Estate the LLC the various LLCs Cobain Enterprises”

Man, who knew selling off your deceased anti-establishment husband’s image for use in a multi-billion dollar videogame franchise could end badly? Apart from everyone over five years old, obv.

Courtney Love looks like a scary drug addict

Kim LaCapria — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:20:19 +0000

Courtney Love managed to grab herself some headlines yesterday after surfacing in New York looking like- well- an emaciated drug addict.

Love, 44, is currently in the midst of a few financial setbacks, including a disputed $350,000 debt with American Express and a pending lawsuit regarding the mishandling of late-husband Kurt Cobain’s estate. In the past, Love has wrangled legally with former Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Kris Novoselic over Nirvana’s post-Cobain finances. The controversial snaps were taken as Courtney exited a cab to visit a New York City bank.

Love has publicly struggled with her weight in the past and admitted to having tried to get a gastric band. She was denied for not meeting minimum weight requirements. She also has inadvertently exposed some pretty gnarly plastic surgery.

Courtney recently announced that she’s getting the band back together for a late 2009/early 2010 album entitled “Nobody’s Daughter.” However, Hole bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur was confused by the news, telling reporters in Toronto she hadn’t heard anything about a planned reunion and stated:

“I actually don’t know. I have no idea. I arrived at North By Northeast and I heard that Hole were getting back together from people sending me links.”

Courtney Love Trashes Hotel Room, Skips Out without Paying Bill

Paul Short — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:03:20 +0000

Courtney Love has skipped out on the bill for an expensive hotel suite after trashing the room then sneaking out while the cleaners were there.

In the hotel suite she had been staying in for about a month, the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles, Courtney Love decided she had to dye a bunch of clothes for her new fashion line before flying to London for the Elle Style Awards back in January. She ended up splashing pink dyd around the room and floors and upon discovering what she had done, called the hotel staff to have the room cleaned.

While the cleaners were there, Love took the liberty of leaving the hotel without returning to pay the enormous bill for the room and damages.

Courtney’s spokespeople had no comment when contacted about the incident.

Mickey Rourke says Courtney Love worse than a gorilla

Duncan Riley — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:44:35 +0000

Responding to rumors that he was dating Courtney Love, Mickey Rourke categorically denied the story, but it’s how he does it that’s golden.

Rourke told reporters who asked him Thursday that he would “rather be on a deserted island with a gorilla!” than with Love.

The Mirror had claimed Rourke and Love have been dating for three weeks since a hook up at the Golden Globes in January.

“Courtney has quite a crush on Mickey and finds him utterly compelling,” a source told The Mirror. “They’ve known each other for years – she’s stuck by him through the good times and the bad. Now he’s back on the Hollywood A-list he’s gone up another notch in the desirability stakes. Let’s just say they didn’t stop at holding hands and a chaste peck on the cheek.”

TMZ has the video of Rourke making the comment here.

Guitar Hero: Kurt Cobain Edition (heroin not included)

Samantha DeWitt — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 06:21:33 +0000

Guitar Hero, the Kurt Cobain edition. Doesn’t come with Heroin. Courtney Love can be purchased as an additional accessory, she comes with her own Heroin.

Kim Kardashian Defends Her Brother Against Courtney Love’s Claims

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 19:08:02 +0000

Kim Kardashian hopped on her blog to address rumors stirred up by Courtney Love that her brother Rob Kardashian punched and broke the nose of Courtney’s employee. The incident occurred in September, Courtney claims, but was something she just discovered (and apparently needed to tell us all immediately).

“[R]ob jr cold socked and punched my employee right in his face for no reason and broke his nose after my GUY was hanging out with his pal Brody Jenner one night outside hyde lounge,” Courtney blogged.

She claimed that the attack targeted her employee because he was gay, and that Rob should try to get “acceptance of [his] own homosexuality” so the two can go on a shopping trip to the “Ab and Fitch store while the techno music blasts really loud and find you a tight tee shirt for our big night at Rage in Weho.”

Kim responded yesterday, writing “Courtney Love wrote a disturbing blog this morning that is obviously very untrue” and that ”"This is TOTALLY FALSE!” She continued:

“My entire family’s response is this: We are so saddened to hear that someone is blogging this insanity on Christmas Eve. Everything this person writes is obviously untrue and we will forward this terrible nonsense to our attorneys. Merry Christmas!”

Wait a second– I thought that Courtney was supposed to be really reliable? Hee hee.

Courtney Love Blogs Furiously

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:35:38 +0000

What was Courtney Love doing this weekend, you ask? I just happen to have the answer for you, and it’s kind of like what we do at The Inquisitr except, erm, she’s almost entirely incoherent: blogging 60+ posts in under a few hours. And guess what? Love’s actually got a reason to do so, or at least she thinks she does.

Courtney is blaming her housekeeper Miriam Torres of ripping off a bunch of her designer clothes, which she has detailed for us complete with links from Style.com on her MySpace blog.

They go something like this:

http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/slideshow/F2008RTW-LANVIN

(lucinda williams playing) i snt this top back, maybe im getting plump, everyones saying how proud they are of me for putting on weight, but i hate it, i know that size 4 isnt fat, i know thata t size 10 i was a sexbeast, but this top didnt hang off me at all, it was pedestrian on me, i guess the corpulence of my bastard dna is unriddable

I started reading, and I ended up with a headache, but if anyone can handle this, I’m sure it’s worth a giggle. You can almost feel her dip in and out of sanity as she typed. Ouch.

Courtney Love Blogs About Proposition 8

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 02:32:15 +0000

In an extremely confusing (and frightening) blog entry, Courtney Love spilled her feelings about Prop 8–but was she for or against it? I’ve read her post a couple times now, and I think she was actually on the right path until someone tried to explain voting to her. Prepare to have your head messed with:

“blown away
Current mood: bouncy

That prop 8 passsed! motherf[*]ckers! who voted against it!
it was confusing language in malibu there were kids reminding us to vote yes thatthe language was conbfusing and people were votingno when they meant yes or soemthin”

Anyone want to take a stab at deciphering this? Was Courtney actually trying to Vote No on Prop 8? Methinks someone should’ve just “Saved to Draft.”

I found the screenshot for you to enjoy.

Kurt Cobain’s Ashes Stolen

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:00:51 +0000

Need a reminder that people are sick? Here’s the news of the day: someone has stolen Kurt Cobain’s ashes from Courtney Love’s Hollywood home, which had been secured in a pink teddy-bear shaped bag. The News of the World reminded us that that wasn’t the only thing gone, with thousands of dollars of jewelry and clothes were also taken. I hope this piece was one of them.

“They were all I had left of my husband,” Love said. “I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me. I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me. I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal.”

“Suicidal?” That’s definitely a word you don’t want to throw around too casually, all things considered. It’s also no secret that Courtney Love doesn’t exactly keep the best company all the time. Forget a cat burglar; she should probably check out her “friends” first.
