Entertainment Weekly reports that funeral-makeup practice cadaver/ rock singer Courtney Love no longer has any use for her famous last name, insisting that she will now go on using her given name, Courtney Michelle Harrison.
Says Love, er, Harrison:
Despite a decrease in attendance in the recession-riddled 2009, this year’s South By Southwest music and film festival in Austin, TX is being touted as a complete success – if only for the fact that it drew record numbers in 2010. According to Reuters, “a record 13,022 music industry professionals registered” to attend the fest (along with an estimated 100,000 other music fans), consume copious amounts of barbeque, and ensure that the 2010/ 2011 liver transplant registry will remain awfully busy.
After Gus Van Sant’s fictionalized account within Last Days, and Nick Broomfield’s Courtney-did-it “documentary” Kurt and Courtney, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is set to get a third cinematic treatment. The twist? The film—get this!—aims to be an accurate, true-story portrayal of singer/ guitarist who committed suicide in 1994.
Deadline Hollywood reports that Oren Moverman, director of 2009’s harrowing The Messenger, has been selected to direct the film, which will focus on Cobain’s final two days before his suicide. Moverman will also rewrite the script, originally titled All Apologies and written by X-Men Origins: Wolverine scribe David Benioff. Let me repeat that: “written by X-Men Origins: Wolverine scribe David Benioff.”
Courtney Love is back. At least, she’s trying to get back. She has announced that Hole will be returning and is set to play London Shephard’s Bush Empire on February 17, according to her website (via Pitchfork). The only thing is, Hole isn’t really going to be Hole. She’s pushing for a reunion and performance date to promote her new album, Nobody’s Daughter, but the band will not have any original members.
We know it’s been a tough year for Love. She lost her daughter to Cobain’s mom and sister and she’s had to deal with some unnecessary music business issues. However, does she really think she can pull all this off? Former Hole member, Eric Erlandson, says no.
Courtney Love has lost her most precious possession — her daughter. TMZ reported that Love lost temporary guardianship of her and Kurt Cobain‘s 17-year-old daughter on Friday Dec. 14th; the teen is now in the custody of Cobain’s mother, Wendy O’Connor, and sister, Kimberly Dawn Cobain.
The celebrity news site released pictures of the three-long page order. However, the public release did not contain any information as to why Love lost guardianship of her daughter.
This past Sunday (October 4th), some of the most talented people in the music and movie industry came out to support the New York based benefit, (Red) Nights AIDS. It was a charity gig that brought out Bono, Courtney Love, Lady Gaga, Lou Reed, and even Scarlett Johansson. The event was filled with collaborative performances from both new and established artists in the industry.
Take a look at the finale performance featuring the entire roster of stars…
A few days ago, it was reported on Courtney Love’s MySpace page that her upcoming album “Nobody’s Daughter” would be getting sponsorship from “a Prominent Menstrual Company” and would be using the picture featured to the right in the campaign. Now, I’m almost sure this is a hoax, although no one has yet to catch up with it.
Now, I think Love is an amazing artist and mean no disrespect, but what menstrual company would possibly want Courtney Love, especially in this picture to represent their campaign? Then began to think of possible slogans for this “ad.” Hell, if someone has got to do it.
So now is your chance to become an ad man/woman!
The best slogan will be featured on the site as an ad campaign! Enjoy!
Here’s an interesting little piece of news. Courtney Love’s “Head Administrator of her Myspace,” has just announced that her upcoming album “Nobody’s Daughter” will sound like “TRUE PERFECTION!,” will be delayed (it was due out January 1st), and will be sponsored by a Prominent Menstrual Company and a Tequila Company. WHAT?!? In what world do those two companies decide to work together on a Courtney Love album?
The post itself on her Myspace is either a fake or written by someone completely high. Either would make sense to me.
It starts out by talking about how, duh, the album was not released on January 1st…. Continue Reading
