Courtney Love Discusses Past Demons On ‘Letterman,’ Keeps Her Clothes On
Wed Apr 28 2010 by Robbie Daw
As well as going through some hard times (to say the least!) over the past six years, Hole's lone survivor Courtney Love has also gone through some rough looks. Still, with surprisingly solid new album Nobody's Daughter out this week, Love is proving that she's able to now trudge onto gigs like The Late Show With David Letterman and keep her shirt on. (Dammit!) Her interview with Dave starts out pretty hilarious, and then she runs through the addictions she's battled and the rehab stints she endured over the past several years. Looks like Nobody's Daughter is finally all grown up—well, unless you consider her claims of sleeping with Gavin Rossdale after he was with Gwen Stefani. Anyway, watch below!

Courtney Love Avoids Twitter Long Enough To Record Hole Track “Samantha”
Tue Mar 30 2010 by Becky Bain
Courtney Love is dealing with a lot of personal drama right now (most of it on Twitter), but that's not stopping the singer from reviving her music career. Hole (or rather, Courtney and a bunch of new band members) have been making the rounds to promote their ninth studio release, Nobody's Daughter: stopping by SXSW, performing on Jonathan Ross, giving makeup tutorials, and showing up on red carpet events looking (shockingly) well put together.
Now we get to hear a recording of Love's angry little ditty "Samantha," which is far from new—Love has been playing the song (co-written by Linda Perry and ex Billy Corgan) during live shows since 2007. Now the track finally finds a permanent home on Nobody's Daughter, and you can listen below. More »
Courtney Love Just Kidding About That Whole Taylor Momsen Twitter Fight Thing
Tue Aug 4 2009 by Maura
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 »
The “Jennifer’s Body” Soundtrack Might Be The Most Idolator-Ish Release Of The Year
Tue Jul 21 2009 by Maura
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. Well, at least I’m supporting Amanda Seyfried’s acting efforts, I guess. Track list after the jump. More »
Courtney Love Has A Hole Lotta Things To Say To Her Former Guitarist
Wed Jul 15 2009 by Maura
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 »
Courtney Love Prepares To Crown Herself Miss World One More Time
Wed Jun 17 2009 by Maura
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 »
