Courtney Love is hatching a plan when she stops by the Elton John AIDS Foundation annual benefit, An Enduring Vision, held Monday at NYC’s Cipriani Wall Street.
“I hope he plays on my record tomorrow,” the friendly, open musician/actress, 45, says. “I’m working him. I have no idea if he’s gonna do it, but he said he might.”
The Hole rocker and widow of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain attributes the groundedness of 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean to “DNA.” Read more »
In Guitar Hero 5, the latest in the popular musical video game series, players have the option of not only playing a Nirvana song as the band’s late leader Kurt Cobain, but they can also have the anti-icon singing tunes from any of the other bands available on the game, something Kurt’s widow Courtney Love claims she didn’t know when she cashed in by signing over his likeness to Activision.

Out of all the celebrity moms adopting babies from poor countries and spending time with them on tour, down-to-earth Jennifer Garner was voted Best Celebrity Mom in a poll of ParentDish.com’s readers in honor of Mother’s Day.
Jen, mom to Violet and Serafina, came in with 37 percent of the vote, beating out Reese Witherspoon tied for second with 26 percent, Michelle Obama also with 26 percent, and Angelina Jolie with a paltry four percent.
PICS OF JEN GARNER & HER GIRLS:
If any of those celebs ever need babysitters, they should heed the results of who readers would feel most comfortable leaving their kids with: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia di Rossi came in on top with 31 percent of the vote, Jennifer Aniston grabbed 22 percent, Rachael Ray is trustworthy enough at 20 percent, Angelina and Brad Pitt took 18 percent of the vote, and Oprah Winfrey came in last with nine percent.
Other celebs didn’t fare so well, as the poll also took account of the Worst Celebrity Moms. Courtney Love and Dina Lohan tied to take that honor with 32 percent of the vote each, followed by Britney Spears at 27 percent, Sarah Palin at six percent, and Kate Moss at three perecent.
It’s kind of nice to know that even if you’re mom’s a rock star, she’s still really embarrassing.
A British paper reports that Courtney Love is trying to set her daughter up with Robert Pattinson – for her first-ever date.
Apparently the Hole singer thinks that the Twilight hunk is just the kind of English gent that 16-year-old Frances Bean needs to go out with.
"Courtney thinks he’s charming and handsome and absolutely has to be Frances’s first date," a source told the paper.
"She’s doing everything she can to engineer another meeting."
Embarrassing maybe — but something tells us she’ll be quite popular with Frances Bean if she manages to work her magic.
However, it’s possible that his girlfriend, Annalyse Schoenberger, might have something to say about all this…
What we wouldn’t have given to be a fly on the wall when Courtney Love went to stay with Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow! Lucky for us, we have the next best thing.
Courtney has been kind enough to write an entry on her blog telling us all about her recent visit to their London home — and give us a peek inside the lives of two of the most secretive celeb couples out there!
Apparently, Gwynnie wears an apron when she cooks (of course she does!), theirs is definitely not a non-smoking household, the Shakespeare In Love star has a very high IQ and is "as light as a feather".
Kurt Cobain’s widow got to know the couple when they ended up hanging out together in New York.
Since then, Courtney says, Gwyneth has been a "dear friend" and has been inviting her to come and and stay in London for years. Gwynnie, who she calls ‘GP’ in the Myspace blog, even calls her every month to see if she’s alright, apparently.
But when the Hole singer finally got around to taking her up on the offer, she writes that she had something of a panic attack on the way to their house in the Chelsea area of London.
"My anxiety is kicking in and I am terrified I am not good enough for GP, for their beautiful lovely home, and lovely lifestyle and lovely family," she frets.
"OMG I am freaking out. What if my hair is messy? What if my extensions fall out?," and so she continues, panicking about everything from her perfume clashing with Gwyneth’s to whether she knows enough Latin and Greek history for Chris!
But after getting a big hug from the couple and few hours hanging out with kids Apple and Moses ("they seem to like me") they were having a great old time.
So what’s it like inside their home?
Well, Courtney says that when she find Gwyneth in the kitchen, she is wearing an apron from the chic Anthropologie store.
And smoker Courtney was overjoyed when she sees "a big old ashtray, two lighters and two packs of Silk Cuts" on a table. "I can have a smoke without getting arrested or kicked out," she enthuses.
Courtney also says that she discovered Gwyneth’s IQ, and while she won’t say the figure, she admits it "is out of this world and much higher then mine."
Not only that, but she has "an ethereal glow" and it "as light as a feather" (Courtney bear-hugged her so enthusiastically that she lifted her off the ground).
"I love this girl, I love her husband, I love her kids," she gushes. But she seems most taken with the Coldplay singer, and gives him the highest compliment that a world-class egotist like Courtney knows!
"I haven’t been impressed in a long time, by someone, other than myself."
Jen Aniston and her boy-toy Brian Bouma have called it quits. The Mirror reports that Jen just wanted a fling and nothing more while filming in Toronto, and now that she’s relocated to Miami to work on her new film, Marley and Me, she’s over it. Love ‘em and leave ‘em!
Uh oh, Courtney Love is blogging again! The famously bad misspeller is countering claims made by some that she’s bipolar. This comes after Love went to police last week to file identity theft charges. "I may be Eccentric, i certainly speak my mind and am slow to put out a record i need to mean the world to ME, and im sure i am quite Nuerotic [sic] but ‘Bi Polar’. Thats just slander." She’s claiming that thieves opened nearly 200 credit cards in her name and embezzled more than $69 million, reports Rush & Molloy.
Last Sunday, while Britney Spears semi-lip synched and clumsily plodded her way across the stage of the Video Music Awards in a too-revealing costume, some in the audience clapped politely, some sat in awe, but most had one eye on their performance and another on their Blackberry as they messaged friends around the world to share in their "What the…?" moment with the millions of stunned viewers at home who instantly began cracking jokes about everything from her weight to her hair. The phrase "It’s Britney, bitch" became an insta-punch line for all of America.
But Sunday’s not-exactly-a-performance was only the icing on the cake for a year that has seen the platinum-selling singer have a baby, divorce her husband, shave her head, enter rehab facilities all across the western hemisphere and… yeah, let’s not forget about the panties (though she certainly did!)
Alas, the pop princess can take comfort in the knowledge she’s hardly alone on the list of celebrities who’ve lost their way. Her faltering forefathers (and mothers) have blazed a trail of disgrace that not even her sins on the Sin City stage could top. And — Brit should take this as a positive —some of their careers have lived to tell the tale. (Of course… some haven’t.)
