Courtney Love wants everybody to stop calling her Courtney Love. Unfortunately, “washed-up cracked-out psycho bitch” doesn’t roll off the tongue so easily. And thanks to a little before/after action, it’s pretty clear to all that there’s just no going back for some people:
Love told NME she wants to drop her ‘Love’ moniker and revert back to her birth name Courtney Michelle, proclaiming, “Courtney Love is dead.”
The Hole singer/songwriter was born Courtney Michelle Harrison, and says her decision to kill off the ‘Love’ stage name is because, “We’ve all decided we don’t like her any more. We love her when she goes onstage, but I don’t need her in the rest of my life. The name Courtney Love is a way to oppress me.”
Look. Hole’s 1994 Live Through This album was brilliant (maybe because her dead husband wrote it?), and that counts for something. But Love’s 2004 solo debut American Sweethearts sounded like the product of a conspiracy-crazy, pill-popping, plastic-surgery-addicted mess – and for good reason. The post-rehab follow-up, Nobody’s Daughter, was supposed to come out in 2007, but as with everything Courtney, the entire production dissolved into one giant flustercuck. Now we’ve got an April 27th release date, and the album’s leaked, so we’ll actually be seeing the thing on shelves next week.
The album will likely tank, as even those that have worked on the album have distanced themselves from it, dropping insults along the way – including Billy Corgan and producer Michael Beinhorn.
It’s a strange phenomenon when the public can’t let go of a spazzing trainwreck long after the crash. Love still gets constant media attention, despite the fact that the source of her stardom’s been dead for more than 15 years, and there are much better – and more deserving – leading ladies in rock these days.
Nice you didn’t name the article ‘Courtney Love is Dead’ so the b1tch doesn’t get any more attention than she deserves…
I don’t get why you used a photo of Kelly Osbourne?!?!?!
Hahaha it kinda looks like Kelly, doesn’t it? But no, that’s actually Courtney from her pre-heroin, pre-surgery stripper days. I’ve known a thousand psycho bitches who looked just like that, and every single one of ‘em had the same level of mean-crazy in her eyes that Courtney’s got in that pic.
Hell, I bet that whole human being, with monikers and all, won’t last the whole year. I mean, she already started killing names just for the warm-up.

I prefer Steve Albini’s description: “psycho hose beast.”
Albini’s description is a Wayne’s World quote.
What Cobain ever saw in her I will never know. Just looking at her enrages me.
How about talentless coke-whore.
Easy pussy
Or waste of life? She’s breathing all my damn air.
Told you she makes me mad! And I’m usually such a nice guy… :P
Just read that she wants Scarlett Johansson to play her in yet another Cobain related biopic…WTF?
1 vote for Talentless Coke Whore…
I think Johnny said it best a while ago: Batshit Insane. Just reading her twisted logic is giving me headaches. I like how she includes herself with the rest of the world who despise her. Serious break with reality. Someone should institutionalize the bitch.

Another thing I can’t stand about her. She isn’t doing anything noteworthy, so how does she pay her bills? She does whatever she can to make a dime off Kurt. I hope her CD is shit and goes nowhere. I hope the bitch dies.
So, uh, why give her more attention by writing an article about her? Media attention? Aren’t you giving it? Just sayin’.
I pray that by some sick twist of fate that Courtney Love winds up on Dancing With the Stars. It would be the most hilarious trainwreck on tv ever. Her doped out ass falling all over that dance floor, while her partner carries her, literally, through the routine! LMAO!
