Last week, Courtney Love took to her Twitter to take on Gossip Girl star / budding rocker Taylor Momsen, saying that the young lady’s displays of kinderwhore style were “just annoyingly cloyingly wrong” and that she should work with her hands, and insinuating that maybe Momsen wasn’t such a nice person anyway. Scandal! That tiff blew away in the wake of many other microblogs regarding the roll-your-own-craft store Etsy and this weekend’s All Points West festival, but someone at New York‘s Vulture (which, thanks to seemingly having someone on Love duty 24/7, pointed out the Tweets in the first place) caught up with Courtney in the bathroom of the It Might Get Loud premiere last night and asked her what happened. And hey, it looks like all is forgiven, or at least like there was apparently no beef in the first place. More »
Much as I hate to admit it, the people putting together the soundtrack for Diablo Cody’s emo-leaning, Megan Fox-enhanced entrant into the vampire genre Jennifer’s Body might very well have compiled an album that will prove to be the 2009 equivalent of, say, the Batman Forever soundtrack (or at least the album accompanying Batman & Robin) as far as summing up a very particular pop aesthetic at a very particular point in time.

Last month Courtney Love announced that her eternally delayed new album would be released under the moniker of her band Hole, news that did not sit well with the band’s former (?) guitarist Eric Erlandson. “We have a contract,” Erlandson told Spin last week. “She signed a contract with me when we decided to break up the band, which was like 2002 or something, so I really don’t have comment on it except that I know my part in that band. The way I look at it, there is no Hole without me. [Laughs] To put it blunt. Just on a business level.” Well, when you get blunt about business with La Love, you’re going to hear about it on the Internet a week later! Courtney put out some Tweets this morning in response to Erlandson’s claims: More »
Proving that there are still bands from the ’90s that still have yet to reunite–or, at least, dust off their old names for one more trip through the nostalgia machine–Courtney Love has announced that her forever-in-the-works album Nobody’s Daughter will not come out under her name, but instead under the name of her old band Hole. Also she’s wearing leather pants! And trying to channel Apocalyptica! Unfortunately the C-Love video diary set up by the NME to chronicle these exciting (yet not all that surprising in the grand scheme of things) developments is broken, but just look at this breathless synopsis penned by the mag’s Dan Martin: More »
