Courtney Love wished us all a belated Merry Christmas today via her MySpace blog (which we don't normally check in on, but thankfully Curbed was on the ball). What did Santa bring her? An apartment in the West Village! So really, it's like a present for us all. She stated, in perfectly readable English:

i think/hope we foundteh PERFECT plaCE, its a w village 4 floor house 2 floors are being rented by the owners, itllcost ...alot...to returjn it to a house biut fbc doesnt need to have all that space til she moves here at 18 and its a great invesment.
Translation: C.Lo, or just her daughter Frances Bean...or both(!), are moving to the city.

Last time Courtney was in a NYC court, she re-did the courtroom sketch of herself. And she was admitted to Bellevue during the summer, though not to their psych ward. Of course, her marriage to Kurt Cobain was Law & Ordered...and her issues with custody of daughter Frances Bean Cobain were Kevin Hill-ed.

For more about Kurt Cobain and the ten year anniversary of his death, check out LA Weekly's 13 Ways of Looking at Nirvana. MSN also has a pretty extensive feature on Kurt Cobain, Black Table has thoughts from notable writers about the death/legacy of Cobain, and there's an L.A. Times article (via Newsday) written by Cobain biographer Charles Cross, who wrote Heavier than Heaven. Plus more links via Coolfer. And On This Day in History.

More celebrity legal fun: whatevs on the mug shot of James Brown, who was arrested for domestic abuse...Gothamist is thinking Brown looks like the haggard, older Andre 3000 from the Hey Ya! video.

Man, if Courtney Love thinks taking her case to Rush & Molloy is going to win her some support, she clearly is insane. Love talks to the Daily News' gossip mongers in order to give a glimpse into her mental health, as she tries to get custody of poor little Frances Bean back, after Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services placed her 11 year-old child with Kurt's mother, Wendy O'Connor when police arrested Love for, oh, being under the influence of controlled substance (and breaking the windows of her ex-boyfriend's house) and overdosing on OxyContin. Some gems:

Gothamist wasn't sure what was more distressing about an episode of the Osbournes that was rerun yesterday: Seeing Jack Osbourne fall for the cute blonde houseguest of Courtney Love or seeing Courtney Love. Probably Courtney Love, who walked around in her underwear and changed in front of the camera and just acts like the crazy person she must be. L.A. Department of Children's Services - get Frances Bean out! And lest you think that Courtney's houseguest was Kato-like or some poor girl whose job it would be to pleasure Courtney or revive Courtney after some night on the town, the object of Jack's affections is Brieann O'Connor, half-sister of Kurt Cobain.
