I didn’t put this in the Pit, as it’;s way too silly to get angry over; I for one welcome our loose-cannon, insane celebrity overlords. From today’s NYTimes:
A subdued Courtney Love stood in a Manhattan court yesterday and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in a case that began during her rock concert at a Greenwich Village nightclub in March, when she pitched a microphone stand into a crowd, hitting one of her fans. Ms. Love glided up to the courthouse in a black stretch limousine shortly after 10 a.m. . . . Ms. Love, wearing a brown sheepskin coat and a purple velvet dress and accompanied by two bodyguards, was rebuffed by court security guards, who ordered her to stand in a long line of people waiting to pass through a metal detector at the main entrance. “The guy wants me to stand in line with everybody else,” she said, smoking a cigarette and surrounded by a pack of reporters. “I’m not everybody else.”
“It’s scary standing in line with everybody else,” she added.
—Not as scary as it was for everybody else who had to stand in line with her!
I remember reading this morning she said they were charging her with being under the influenc eof drugs. “It was a concert. Concerts aren’t about drugs.”
I read her interview with Rolling Stone, and it was very sad. She is very sad. Between her manic episodes and her depressed episodes, her inability to control her meds, her need for drugs- she’s a walking pharmacopeia of messed up neurons.
Give me drugs and violence and court appearances in purple velvet over “Rock the Vote” any day. Courtney would make a heck of a rock star if she was any good.
Wow! She wants to go out with guys in my age group. Cool! I’d fancy her if she didn’t look like a horrible old Sag Tit Witch Crackhead who’s not fit to look after a pet rock, never mind a child. Plus she spends more time in Court than I do in the Pub. Don’t they have a 3 strikes and you’re out rule in the US?
Ya know, when she’s in control, she’s not bad. She’s just gone beyond the edge of messed up enough for an interesting rock star lifestyle and into the abyss of scary, sad and pathetic…
I find her rather depressing. IMHO Some of her songs were quite good and she has real talent. I also thought she performed well in Man In The Moon, and The People Versus Larry Flynt. But, instead of sticking with medications prescribed by her psychiatrist, she keeps dosing herself with pharmaceuticals bought on street corners.
