Courtney Love
Always A Soap Opera - Like Knots Landing But On Crack

Where do I start?  A website that aims to point out, among many other things, the foibles and flaws of celebrities and politicians - where do you start with Courtney?  See the film Kurt and Courtney - did she have alterno-master Kurt Cobain killed?   Look in your address bar right now - francesfarmersrevenge.com is the domain your sitting on - the idea for this domain name came in part from one of this mans songs...anyways let's just point out her latest bit of public troubles and humiliations.

She is currently facing some drug charges.  The charges stem from an incident in which the widow of Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain overdosed at her home in early October.  Her and Kurt's daughter, Frances - made a game of it waiting for the paramedics - having tea and making mommy feel comfortable.  Jesus!  The former Hole singer, who voluntarily entered a rehabilitation center before the court could order it, is now trying to find out if she's eligible for a program which would give her more rehab instead of jail time.  Love's felony case has been continued as of this writing.

In the MEANTIME -

March 17, 2004 - Courtney Love bared her body on the "Late Show with David Letterman". At one point during the taping, she jumped onto Letterman's desk and flashed him, just as Drew Barrymore did in 1995.

Love had her back to the audience, so no mosaic shading was necessary - no Janet Jackson uproar.

After the taping, Love put on a flimsy top that gave onlookers a pretty good idea of what Letterman saw and hopping into a limo and headed for her SoHo pad. When the limo got stuck in traffic, she staggered out with a bandmate, walking several blocks barefoot to her home, only to find she was locked out. A building manager eventually showed up with a key.

Later that night though, there is a show to do!

And so, hours later, she was arrested in New York for assault on Thursday after striking a club-goer with a microphone during a show.

"She was charged with assault and reckless endangerment," a police spokeswoman said.

The incident occurred early on Thursday morning as Love (39) was giving a surprise performance at the Plaid nightclub in Lower Manhattan.

At one point, the singer tossed a microphone stand into the crowd, hitting a 24-year-old man in the head. Police said the patron suffered lacerations and required medical treatment.

After being charged, Love was released, pending an appearance before a judge.

Cut to - the next night.  Another fantastic stage show.

Once on stage, Love immediately spewed epithets and cursed Howard Stern ("I love him even though he's an assholee," she said.) Twice she told the crowd that the NYPD wasn't so bad "compared to the LAPD. You have it easy here."

She claimed that the previous night's events had ruined her voice — she's not much of a singer even on a good day — and so she abandoned her set list, inviting fans to call out songs. She performed some of them, and even hit a couple of notes by accident. She covered 'Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry," and managed to do a few of her own numbers. The best of the lot was "Celebrity Skin," on which the band sang back-up vocals.

Love — who also entertained Ethan Hawke, Janeane Garafalo, Steven van Zandt and David Blaine in the crowd. BLONDIE Debbie Harry, one of the original punk sirens, actually left Thursday night's show midway through the commotion. Harry knew when it was time to grow up.

"I've been wanting to do that for 10 years!" said the almost 40-year-old rocker." yelled Courtney, and thats when the trouble started. She went on a body surf. Somewhere in her cross-room body surf, Love fell onto New York Daily News photographer Dara Kushner, and fell hard. Kushner, a petite brunette, got kneed in the neck so badly she had to be taken from the club by paramedics to a local hospital. Before she left, Kushner was questioned by police to see if a crime had been committed, if Love had hit her intentionally. "She saw me taking pictures," Kushner told me while she was waiting for the paramedics. She was holding an ice pack to her neck and sitting on the floor in the club vestibule. "She came right at me and fell on me."

Nevertheless, it's not clear whether Love just lost her footing or aimed at Kushner.

Love was certainly not looking for trouble last night. When she finally appeared on stage, she announced to the crowd, "If anyone wants to get hurt and get arrested, do it now."

The result was an overnight jail stay.
