CL says she is writing new album with Billy Corgan...hopes it won't
be the "failure" America's Sweetheart was... trashes one of Dave
Grohl's songs ("it'like, the studest")...trashes Dave Grohl's
songwriting talent in general... denies she's writing an
autobiography... says she was offered a reality/humiliation TV show
which she turned down... serves notice that "it's the big stage for
me", not any sideshow venues at upcoming summer music
festivals..."I'm more comfortable when I'm the queen - and everyone
else is more comfortable when I'm the queen."

More stuff from my web-ring. I find this deeply disturbing.
Cobain inspired 'suicide' note
Wednesday, 19 June, 2002,UK
The girl's 'suicide' note was inspired by Kurt Cobain
A teenage girl allegedly pushed into attempting suicide by her
boyfriend was herself fascinated by tragic Nirvana songwriter Kurt
Cobain.
The girl, 15, said in court the rock singer, who took his own life in
1994, looked like her former partner, and she spoke of Cobain in an
alleged suicide note.
Her ex-boyfriend, 15, denies the rare charge of attempting to procure
her suicide on 29 January, when she fell 25ft from a jetty at
Aberystwyth, west Wales.
"I called him my dark-haired Kurt Cobain"
Girl in suicide case
Neither teenager, both of whom were schoolmates, can be named in his
trial for legal reasons.
It is claimed the boy - said to be obsessed with serial killers and
satanism - talked the girl into jumping from the jetty in a suicide
bid while playing truant from school.
Suicide claims
They had gone to his home, where the girl had drunk a third of a
bottle of tequila, Swansea Crown Court heard.
He then allegedly prompted her to write a suicide note, dicated by
him, and he timed and dated the letter.
It was said he walked her to a jetty on Aberystwyth's seafront, where
she later fell, suffering head and brain injuries and losnig all her
teeth.
She revealed to the court Wednesday she was a fan of Kurt Cobain,
saying she was attracted to her boyfriend because of his similar
appearance to the late Nirvana singer.
"I called him my dark-haired Kurt Cobain."
Cobain's words
Defending, Michael Fitton, asked the girl if she knew about Cobain's
suicide; she answered that she did.
School books belonging to the girl also contained doodles and
references to the singer, the jury heard.
And the girl said some words from her alleged suicide note referred to
those used by Cobain, whose grunge band pioneered the genre, rising to
supreme fame, which became unmanageable by the frontman.
"'Empathy' would have been mine because it's [one] of Kurt Cobain's.
Kurt Cobain used that word a lot," she said.
"I can't tell you which was mine and which was [the boy's]. I was
drinking continually when I was writing it."
"He said he wanted me to be free. He wanted me to jump off the end. He
would break down. He is lying, I am telling the truth"
But, when Mr Fitton said the girl had earlier sent a text message to a
friend about cutting herself, she denied she had ever harmed herself.
Instead, she said, she pleaded with her boyfriend at the jetty's edge
when she realised what was happening.
"It was going though one ear and out the other. He wasn't listening to
me," she said.
"He said he wanted me to be free. He wanted me to jump off the end."
'Beautiful eyes'
When Mr Fitton claimed she was exaggerating, she said: "You get
somebody to ask him questions. He would break down and do you know
why? Because he's lying and I'm telling the truth."
The couple had met a fortnight before the alleged offence and spoke in
a telephone conversation, when the boy allegedly clamide to be a
"borderline psychopath" who went on "man hunts."
The girl said he was "really sweet" and had "beautiful eyes."
Prosecuting, Paul Thomas, previously argued the defendant had an
unhealthy interest in characters including killer Charles Manson,
saying police found extreme graffiti on his bedroom wall.
He denies the charge and the trial continues.

Here's the Rolling Stone article in it's entirety. It appears Miss Love recently won back custody of her daughter. Hmmm..... courtney talks in rolling stone
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
www.rollingstone.com/news/st...sion=6.0.11.847
From sweetheart to queen?
Love Talks New Album
Post-"coke-nutbag breakdown," Love teams with Billy Corgan
She may have spent 2004 battling legal troubles, but Courtney Love is wrapping up the year by getting back to her rock roots. Over sips of iced coffee at a greasy sthingy just off Sunset Boulevard, Love tells Rolling Stone about her next album, due this spring.
Determined not to repeat the "failure" Love says she experienced with America's Sweetheart, her 2004 solo release, for the past few months the rocker has been writing with ex-Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan (he worked on Hole's 1998 album Celebrity Skin). Love is hoping to recruit Rick Rubin or Daniel Lanois to produce the as-yet-untitled release, which she plans to record in a women's prison some time this winter.
With the judges in her two pending criminal cases in Los Angeles (one for illegally possessing painkillers and the other for an alleged assault last April) encouraging a pre-trial settlement, and her recent win in family court which returned custody of daughter Frances Bean to her, Love is ready to focus on her career again. Says Love, "I miss competing."
What was it like in Chicago writing with Billy Corgan again?
I didn't pick up a guitar the whole time. I let go to a degree that it's starting to bother me. I had a dream that I was holding a frame of a painting in my hand, but it was really a guitar, which to me symbolizes that my frame is how I play guitar and I need to adjust these songs that I wrote where I just sang melody lines.
The weird thing is that my reputation has always been, "Oh she doesn't do nuts, she just comes in and writes lyrics." Well, for once I actually didn't do nuts, and I came in and wrote lyrics and sang. This is the first time in my life I've written with somebody where I didn't do so much more work than I've been credited with.
Weren't you recently making an effort to put the guitar down because you wanted to have more freedom?
No, I've just been lazy and post-traumatic and, you know, coke-nutbag-breakdown, and I just didn't want to play guitar. Now I want to play guitar again.
Back to Billy for a second: The chord arrangements that he does are so brilliant. He brought it to me and Lisa [Leveridge, guitarist in Love's band, the Chelsea]. He's not simple at all -- I mean, Billy could never write a half-rock song even if he was trying to. Like that Dave Grohl song, (sings) "Don't want to be your monkey wrench" -- it's, like, the stupidest. You know the one I'm talking about? It's like, "f**k you! So easy to write, I could have written that in my sleep." And I bring it up because that particular song really bugs me because it's just big and dumb.
Is that one of the ones he allegedly wrote about you?
He was writing every song about Kurt or about me for years, and finally he wrote a good song and it's about Melissa [Auf Der Maur, "One By One"]: (sings) "Done, done, and I'm onto the next one." That one's good.
Who's going to play on the album with you?
For this prison record I want to play with Dave [Navarro], I want to play with Lisa and I want to play with Stephen Perkins -- Courtney's Addiction! I want to front Jane's Addiction. I did! In Las Vegas [in November], I did "Mountain Song," basically with Jane's Addiction. It's like, "Where's Perry? No one misses him? Great, I'm taking over."
So what do these new songs sound like?
They're more narrative, acoustic-based. Someone like Elliott Smith would just take a guitar and narrate, and that's something Billy brought up that I need to do. What we wrote with an eye towards was [Bob] Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue," that really cool era of Dylan. That's why these songs need a big, huge hit of speed, and since that would be illegal, I need to drink a lot of f**king coffee and sit down and really figure out what it is I want to say, write a book. They are beautifully arranged tunes so far.
Speaking of books, do you want to write one?
Just lyrics. I'm not doing an autobiography -- are you kidding? Empires would crumble.
Would they?
f**k, yes. I would never.
How about reality TV, any interest?
And if you think I haven't been asked every single day, since those d**n things started -- ! I wouldn't do it, but there was one they brought to me recently: me, Kelly Ripa and Pam Anderson were the three people they wanted to send to boot camp and basically publicly humiliate while they got you in really, really good shape. For like five seconds I was like, f**king boot camp? I really would love the body that would get me. But to do it on television? I don't think so.
So Courtney Love live -- there are a lot of festivals coming up in the summer. What kind of positioning would you want to play any of them?
I like the big stage for me, a preference shared by many musicians out there, I'm sure. I'm more comfortable when I'm the queen -- and everyone else is more comfortable when I'm the queen. I've already paid my dues, thank you very f**king much. |

Oh that woman needs some help. That was just ridiculous. She is unbelievably delusional and I wish she'd stop calling herself a rock star. She's not a rock star anymore, she's a sell out.

no kidding. what does she have against dave grohl? other than the fact they've been battling in court for rights of nirvana tapes. i mean personally i like dave. for christmas i got a biography over dave and it had an interview about songs from his albums, they asked him if anyway were pointed towards kurt in a bad way and he said he swore on his like they weren't and that he deeply respected kurt and missed him. on the other hand i wouldn't be suprised if some of his songs were written about courtney like "i'll stick around". i'm a fan of the foo fighters. i like some of their songs but i'm not a huge fan of them but i think dave is a great artist and courtney is simply just jealous. yes she is dillusional as itslikeatradeoff said. she's not a rockstar. she never was. there's nothing that she's done that pushed her to celebrity status other than kurt. everytime you read an article it immediately says, courtney love, widow to tragic lead singer kurt cobaim, and so on... she can't do crap on her own so now she's caught billy corgan to make some extra money.

LOL Hippiechild! ;D
Surely not! Rolling Stone should know that by now! After all the countless interviews Courtney Love has done with them recently (she must be phoning them everytime she goes to the bathroom) and they fail to mention her at all, except to say that Peter Doherty writes better songs and stupidly does a better f*ck up than she does. She must be incensed! How will her genius bad girl image of rock n roll withstand the blow! (Rolling Stone offices will have broken windows in the morning). Surely the answer will strike Courtney sooner or later to have even more plastic surgery until she's been made over into Bob Dylan, after all, the Madonna likeness got her nowhere... She didn't rate, what a crying shame! Axxx

LOL!! They should tape their windows up good and tight before they leave today. ;D God, I hope she doesn't have anymore plastic surgery! After seeing the "rippled boob effect" I don't think my stomach could take any more. I've only seen one other celeb whose boobs are worse; Tara Reid. On www.awfulplasticsurgery.com there's a picture of her walking up the red carpet with her boob falling out (had a bit too much, did we Tara?) and her nipple was so mishapen that it wasn't even round any more, sort of long and ovalesque. UGH!! Now that she's clean, the one thing Courtney has going for her is she looks good and healthy. Those pounds the Sun rag was spouting about were needed and Courtney may be alot of things, but she finally looks like a normal, healthy person, and kudos to her for getting off the drugs. If she has anymore "work" done she's gonna f**k that all up. And for godsake, get rid of the implants. She doesn't need them! (poor Dave Letterman; bet he had to see the eye doc for hysterical blindness after that interview!) Too bad Rollingstone didn't give her any recognition.  Wake up call or another reason to go on a tirade? She better watch her step....court starts in one week. She should wait until she clears up 2003-2004 screw ups before she racks up any new ones for 2005. |
