I was sad that Courtney Love didn’t show up to the Video Music Awards’ red carpet as promised, because I would have loved to hear her take on some of the “luminaries” in attendance (cough cough, Joe Francis, cough cough). But at least her just-blogged excuse note for the evening makes (relative) sense: “theyre not the “VMAS” and they never will be again - i had ZERO desire to watch let alone go and thats one of my very favourite people ive ever known or had the honour of being friends and fiends with hosting it so i feel horribly rude that my desire not to watch assholes with chastity rings- oh for fucks sake ive had some great conversations but not ONE has ever ended in an Orgasm, y’all need some pussy and some cock and shut the hell up..” Now see, wouldn’t she have proven a great foil to Jordin Sparks? More after the jump!
i love when a friend does well and Russell appears to have done quite well- ist not exactltya fucking rock fest at mtv its…… “date my mom” remember- and it will never revert back to reliably rock n roll- its just the economiclevel of thier decision marketing wise to “grow with thier audience”" aka save mass money on shows by just predating on peoples insane desire and frenzy to be on insanely dysfunction al reality shows for free.
Given that the first hour of my red-carpet experience was spent watching luminaries from The Real World and lesser MTV shows fameball right by me, I’m wondering if she’d want to be our Very Special Red-Carpet correspondent next year. At the very least, she’d have better questions to ask people than the ones I came up with–especially if MTV gets the idea to invite people from its brand-new Cops ripoff to show off their stuff. I should get to work on this now, shouldn’t I?
how was russell? [Courtney Love's MySpace Blog]
Dammit, I really hate it when I agree with Courtney Love, at least I think I am agreeing with her, my ability to translate “strung-out junkie” hasn’t been the same since I left Toledo.
When C-Love starts making sense, aren’t we all just a little bit less sure of ourselves, our existence and the world we inhabit? Methinks the world got a little more scarier today and I didn’t think that was possible
If MTV had held on to or reverted back to her idea of “reliably rock n roll,” wouldn’t they seem like even bigger dinosaurs?
@loudersoft: Wait…what? I miss music. :(
@ObtuseIntolerant: Me too. Me, too.
OK, it’s official: Courtney Love (and only Courtney Love) can save the VMAs next year. Imagine the “water cooler talk” that would come the morning after that trainwreck hosted the show?
It would be amazing, the ratings would soar through the roof and inevitably Courtney would get into a physical altercation with some other ‘artist’ before the show was over. The petition starts here, people!
Hell, Frances Bean could be her ’straight woman’ for a comedic foil.
Somebody get Dave Sirulnick on the horn, stat!
I Love me some Courtney.
Okay, that entire blog entry ensured that I’m gonna spend the rest of the day being scared of drugs and white trash.
At least when MTV had the likes of Courtney Love and Oasis splattering their feeble, drug-soaked egotism across the screen, we could be assured of the possibility of worthwhile water cooler convo. It makes me wish our cult of personalities would devolve into something more than PG-rated masturbation jokes, promise rings and songs about girl-on-girl action.
I still can’t believe you talked to Cisco Adler. I hope you had disinfectant on hand.
Wow. Her way with words leaves me speechless. I wonder what she puts in her coffee every morning. Now that I know she enjoys crafting, I hope to hell she gets her own shop going at [Etsy.com]
