Behind The Scenes With Courtney Love - Satisfying or Unsettling?
Gawker posted the above video Courtney Love uploaded of her pre-show routine and semi-rehearsal from a show she did recently, speculated to be NYC club, The Standard.

You don't often get to see a well-known artist (and say what you will, Courtney Love is certainly well-known) warming up and...

Who nominated the Real Housewives of Atlanta for an NAACP Image Award?
(You can view the rest of the nominees here. ) Why was the NAACP so hell bent on the N word being banned , but yet they would nominate Real Housewives of Atlanta as the Best Reality Show? In that case, they might as well add Ray-J and Flavor Flav’s Reality shows for best Reality series. Or better yet, nominate any of Diddy’s shows. Just a thought….

Somebody Needs to be Fired: The RHOA have Been Nominated for a NAACP Image Award
Exactly how does a show that delivers nothing but drama, foolishness, gold-digging and pure ignorance get nominated for a NAACP Image Award???

The Year of Love.
This post is dedicated to my high-school buddies; in particular Ben, Michelle and Nicole. I’m not sure I’ve ever written about Courtney Love before. Perhaps if blogs had been around back in the 90’s when I was in high school I would have. During those formative teenage years – although still a slave to pop and dance music – through my grungey/alternative doc-martin wearing friends, I’d learnt of this marvellous creature named Courtney. She was, in my young,...

Phony Rock'n'Roll [Replacements]
Paul Westerberg can legally murder Courtney Love now, because of this horrible thing she has done in a hotel room (probably NYC's The Standard) with some British tool playing "Unsatisfied" on guitar while wandering around putting mascara on and mumbling. Love played a New Year's Eve show at The Standard, a publicity-loving nude display case in the Meatpacking District. This, apparently, is video of her "rehearsing." If you care about anything at all, watching this video will make your...
