Courtney Love Talks NYC

0109courtneylovefb.jpg Say what you will about Courtney Love, but before the unreadable and incessant MySpace blogging started, she was putting out platinum albums. Now she's prepping her latest, Nobody's Daughter, and Heeb talks to the 44-year-old about her future move to NYC (did you know her grandmother lives in Brooklyn?). Before the present-day talk gets started, she recalls an infamous past visit here; "you kind of have to live under a rock not to know that they kind of took me to Bellevue. It was just so awful, and so I just don’t feel like, last time [in New York], it ended up so well. But at the same time, you know, I made myself really vulnerable by taking drugs. So now I just don’t take drugs."

Well, it's a new day C.Lo, and when asked what neighborhood she's looking to call home, she says her daughter Frances Bean is angling to live in the West Village (in December she was eyeing these digs), but "this is the problem: the house that Frances wants the most? It’s not a co-op board. It is two old people, and they have to approve us." Actually it turns out there are two possible problems, she ends the interview asking the Heeb-scribe, and Brooklynite, "In terms of real estate, like, a Williamsburg girl like you, what do you think about that West Village, um, thing that Gwyneth and Scarlett said? I mean, do you think that like, okay, this is going to sound retarded: Am I too famous to live in the West Village? Or, is it OK?" Well, at least it's not what she dubs the "trustafarian Disneyland" that is the East Village.

Oh and Ryan Adams, you better watch your back.

Is that a recent pic? If so, it looks like she lost the hefty poundage she put on at the rehab center.

another skank moving to nyc, welcome aboard!

Young Ms. Cobain's band could be interesting.

My guess is she'd hate west village: lots of reading going on not to mention the constant reminders that Sarah Jessica Parker and a cupcake bakery are both more famous than Courtney.

For god's sake bitch, get back on the heroin before you make a total ass of yourself!


...um, too late I guess.

"the house that Frances wants the most? It’s not a co-op board. It is two old people, and they have to approve us."

Actually Cort, that will work for you since they probably have no idea that you're a walking wreck or that psychiatrists look at your daughter with huge $$$ in their eyes.
