Writing About Washed Up Stars Is More Funner

Coolfer takes the Village Voice to task for the column space in this week's issue devoted to Courtney Love - all of page 81 - and her new album, America's Sweetheart. Two reviews, "How Too Late It Is" and A big juicy fuckup for hissyfit-having little girls who hate being little girls," and one article "Gutting Sunset Strip Valentines by Making the Shredded Ones Useless" leave Coolfer saying, "This is called being a slave to pop culture critique. Any other paper would have given an entire page to a worthy musician and given the washed up one two paragraphs." Yes, not to mention that Courtney "Train to Wrecksville" Love is too easy a target these days. Thought we can't help but be mesmerized by her nutty court appearances.

Gothamist also liked Coolfer's note about the Black Eyed Peas moving to London: "Seems they've experienced more success in the UK, and they figure any country that idolizes Robbie Williams has room in its heart for them, too."

Well it is not like she got away with murder... wait a minute.. scratch that.

You're right, Jen, C. Love is too easy a target these days. Ripping into her is like hunting a two-legged dear. There's nothing sporting about it at all.

Robbie Williams is way cooler than the Black Eyed Peas!
