Last night was the press preview for Courtney Love's art show, entitled And She's Not Even Pretty, which will be on exhibit at Fred Torres Collaborations starting tomorrow and through June 15th. We headed over to Chelsea for the 5 p.m. opening—after being told by coworkers covering the much more "important" May Day events, "have fun at your 1% art party!" We did, and there was a lot of free wine. more ›

Last night we received a late-breaking email informing us that there would be a "special live performance by Patty, Melissa, and Eric of Hole," following a screening of the documentary Hit So Hard. Even if we weren't in the 18th anniversary week of the band's seminal album Live Through This, there was no way this was going down without an appearance from Courtney Love. Sadly, we didn't head over there to see it with our own eyes, but luckily some superfans have already uploaded the big moments to YouTube. more ›

Frances Bean Cobain reacts to her mother's accusations that she slept with former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. more ›

It would seem that Courtney Love has a private Twitter account (@cbabymichelle) reserved for things that should probably actually be reserved for a diary or personal phone call. Like this thing last night when she accused former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl of hitting on (and possibly sleeping with) Frances Bean, the daughter of Courtney and the late Kurt Cobain. The two are about 24 years apart, and Grohl first knew Frances Bean as a newborn baby. So the accusations are pretty damning IF to be believed. more ›

Last month we noted that there was some tension between Courtney Love and whoever decided to put a parody of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in the new Muppets movie. To break things down: In one corner, you have Primary Wave Music, who may or may not have exclusive rights to distribute Nirvana's entire catalog, depending on who you're talking to. In another corner, you have Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic signing off on the production using the song, along with Primary Wave. In another you have the Hollywood set, like the movie's writer Jason Segel. And in another you have Courtney Love, who this week decided to speak up in our very own comments section on the whole ordeal. Here is (most of) her comment and a preemptive [sic]: more ›

We're not going to take sides on this one, because we love Courtney Love, but we also love The Muppets, so we'll just give it to you straight: Ms. Love believes Kermit & Co. "raped" the memory of her late husband Kurt Cobain by ripping off his song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the most recent Muppets movie. more ›

As you may know, we sort of adore Courtney Love, so we're happy to hear that she will not be evicted from her Manhattan townhouse. Late last year the owner of Love's West Village townhouse, Donna Lyon, claimed the rocker fell behind on rent, damaged property, and altered the appearance of the home. Now TMZ has learned that a judge just tossed the case out, "because it turns out Courtney did exactly what a good tenant is supposed to do—pay her rent." more ›

Even if it's coming from a place of undying amore, Courtney Love should probably refrain from making death threats to her dead husband, considering some conspiracy theorists think she actually pulled the trigger back in 1994. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, she declared, "If he came back right now I’d have to kill him, for what he did to us. I’d fucking kill him. I’d fuck him, and then I’d kill him." Other things we learn from the interview, which took place inside her West Village rental: more ›

It's happening: Courtney Love is writing her memoir. According to the AP (who awkwardly refers to her marriage to Kurt Cobain as "brief"—over two years!), the book will be out next Fall via HarperCollins. more ›

Look at Courtney Love: wearing a sophisticated black ensemble, carrying around reading glasses, and shooting off the many, many titles of the books she's reading now... including The Power Broker: Robert Moses And The Fall Of New York. Hey Courtney, call us! We'd love to discuss Moses with you. Anyway, Love rattles off the name of a number of other books she's reading in the below video, and she's got a helpful hint for fellow bibliophiles: put the embarrassing titles you're reading on your Kindle so no one sees them. more ›

Frances Bean Cobain has been under the radar since distancing herself from mom Courtney Love years ago, but a new photoshoot she did with Hedi Slimane is throwing her back into the spotlight. The only daughter of Love and Kurt Cobain is turning 19 later this month—just eight years younger than her father when he killed himself. more ›

Someone has stumbled upon Courtney Love's Etsy profile, which presumably she uses to procure things with (as opposed to sell things with). It's nice to see she's consistent with her internet dealings, incorporating both her charming trademark typo-ridden text and a totally out-of-nowhere financial issues rant in her profile: more ›

Early this morning Courtney Love's West Village home was en fuego! According to CityRoom a fire broke out in Love's bedroom at 1:52 a.m. What could have started it? A lit cigarette? Incense? A scorching hot spoon? According to the FDNY it was an innocent lil' candle, which set fire to nearby curtains and possibly some bed linens, which were found burnt. They report that Love discovered the fire herself, though "a male occupant" was also at her home. more ›

Courtney Love, now a scribe at the new Jane Pratt venture, hates the Hamptons just as much as she hates the band Muse! She writes: more ›

How much would you pay for some clothes worn by Courtney Love herself? Some of her signature silk slips and babydoll dresses are now up on the auction block at eBay! It seems Courtney herself (or rather, her minions) have launched an account called Courtney Love Couture, with items ranging from shoes to dresses, and prices from $200 to $3,000. Some even contain authentic cigarette burns and mysterious white stains! more ›

Courtney Love has had her eye on Milla Jovovich's townhouse at 100 Greenwich Avenue for quite some time, but recently the IMAX overlord swooped in and stole her dream. Upon hearing the news Miss Love took to the Twitter and transmitted this message to the masses: "im fucking devestated by the milla incident, @curved [sic] i can now BUY show me same price point w village please?" Will Curbed hear her cries or turn their back on the rocker? We still think she should buy Cynthia Von Buhler's castle on Staten Island... but we're guessing if she's not even willing to go to Brooklyn, then even a castle couldn't get her on that ferry. more ›

Dear Universe and Television Industry: Please put Courtney Love and Russell Simmons on a reality television show together, to run 24/7, in perpetuity. Because... more ›

Manhattan jeweler Jacob & Co. (whose founder Jacob Arabov was recently released from federal prison) is taking Courtney Love to court after claiming she lost some pricey jewelry they loaned her. If the pieces aren't returned, they want their cash value of $113,700. According to the Daily News, a suit filed yesterday in Manhattan Supreme Court says claims the rock star borrowed the jewels in September, including two white-gold and diamond chains, a white-gold floral mesh cuff bracelet, and white-gold and diamond hoop earrings. While the bracelet was returned, the rest of the items are still missing. more ›

Courtney Love—who may or may not have negotiated a real estate deal to buy Milla Jovovich's West Village townhouse via Twitter—is still taking heat for her X-rated Twittering. Earlier this month Love posted a photo of herself practically nude, and when asked about it this week, her pal Russell Simmons told the NY Post: more ›

Courtney Love often rapid fire Tweets cameraphone pictures of herself—usually so fast and furiously that it's unlikely all of her followers click through to view each image. On September 29th, however, Ms. Love only transmitted one photo, giving the masses something to RT about. more ›

Remember that scene in the documentary Kurt & Courtney where one of her childhood friends reads a list of goals that a teenage Courtney Love supposedly wrote? They included meeting Michael Stipe and getting famous, and they all came true! She has occult power, and now she's using it to get published in the holy of holies for any writer, The New Yorker. more ›

Courtney Love lives in New York, but is having that same problem everyone has when moving around in the city... finding the perfect place. (Rock stars, they're just like us.) She has yet to find that magical place to settle into, and in a little off-the-cuff interview with NYMag she discusses her real estate woes, first declaring: "I've been here for a year looking for a house. I live here. I am a member of your society." But it seems certain parts of that society don't want her living next door; when hoping to move into a home next to Anna Wintour, she was turned down, even though her "references are impeccable!" (Don't take it personally C.Lo, Anna doesn't really want anyone near her). more ›

As Courtney Love (or, um, Courtney Michelle) reunites with her band Hole for a few shows in NYC this week, a voice from the musician's past is visiting her via Twitter. The Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan is taking to Love's favorite platform for public shaming, and telling it like it is... or at least, how he thinks it is. more ›

When Amanda Palmer first started getting the PR wheels in motion for her new project, titled Evelyn/Evelyn, there were a few bumps in the road. First, not very happy with the conjoined twins fictional backstory, some disabilities groups got riled up. But really their outcries were nothing compared to the wrath of Courtney Love, who let's not forget, is armed with Twitter. more ›

Courtney Love has been threatening to leave Twitter all weekend—let's hope it's because she's actually, like, happy, thus shedding the need for an online public outlet in which to vent. The Daily News reports that one of her recent Twitter victims, ex-boyfriend Edward Norton (who she called out for owing her money), has gotten back in her good graces (because, whoops, he didn't actually owe her anything) and may be acting as a mediator on some level between Love and Frances Bean. more ›

Last night Courtney Love (who may be West Village-bound soon) played at the SGI Culture Center in Union Square, an organization that celebrates the teachings and philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism. The event wasn't publicized, but a Yelp page says that it was free and included both a talk and a performance. One Twitterer reported back saying she "gave a very inspiring & spiritual talk; undoubtedly she has had an amazing journey." And later that night, that journey continued with an eBay shopping spree, which Love live-Twittered for the masses. She broadcasted her wants/needs/must-haves! Like an "agent provacatuer suitcase... petticoats and metalliclace." Maybe something was lost in translation from East to West, or maybe this little grasshopper is still learning. more ›
