Remember a few years ago, around the time she played Andy Kaufman’s girlfriend in “The Man In The Moon” or whatever it was called? She cleaned up for about six months, dressed conservatively, etc., and started looking pretty tasty. But it didn’t stick. She is definitely high on the skankometer these days.
Would that be pronounced skankOmeter or skankomEEter?
I kind of miss her Kurt-era kinderwhore look, don’t you? That was so over the top it was amusing. Now, she’s merely… ACK. Just thinking about her makes me feel like I need a shower.
I thought it was earlier, when she played Althea Flint, wife of Larry Flint in People vs. Larry Flint. Remember? She was nominated for an Oscar, and was dressing really classy.
As much as I find threads with "Resolved: " at the beginning kind of pretentious, it’s hard to argue in this case.
Courtney Love outskanks them all. Christina Aguilera isn’t a true skank so much as a young woman in a skank phase, just trying on skankness as if she were shopping for identities at Identity Mart or Life Paths ‘R’ Us. Skank appears to be in Love’s blood.
Let me be the first to float another suggestion: Paris Hilton takes skank to levels 99.999% of us can’t afford. All of that money, breeding, and incredibly expensive clothing, and she still manages to look like she smells of cigarettes and Strawberry Boone’s Farm.
I think even the Osbourne kids were a bit turned off/surprised by her skankiness. And I bet they’ve met alot of skanky characters in their time (including uhm…themselves!)
Kinda hijack:
Last year I visited a stable and fell into conversation with a really nice older gentleman by the name of Hank. We were having a nice chat but somehow got on the subject of celebs. Hank then asks me if I’ve ever heard of Courtney Love and I said
“Sure. She’s been having legal troubles.” “Well,” said Hank “I’m her Dad.”
I figured the guy was a little touched, so I wound up the chat real quick and went home. Later that day I mentioned the exchange to a friend of mine who is really into the whole Nirvana thing and it went a little like this:
Friend: “This guy’s name was Hank? What was his last name?”
Me: “I think it was Harrison.”
F:"You met Hank Harrison? That really is Courtney Love’s Dad!"
M: Fck off!
F: COME ON!!! If you were going to lie about being a celebrity’s dad, why the fck would you pick Courtney Love?"
I missed the first airing on Letterman as well and was happy to see that it was being rebroadcast on Friday. She’s beyond nasty–she’s outright pathetic. She is painfully self-absorbed and neurotic to the point that I wonder how she ever became a star. Her “self-confidence” is so transparently false; she’s just a little girl dying for attention and validation. I’d like to see Madonna kick her ass.
Heh. I was a good five posts into this thread before I realized it said Courtney Love in the title and not Courtney Cox. Thread took on a whole new meaning.
Of course, I think Cox is pretty high up there too. Probably just seeing what I want to.
I’m not a big TV watcher, so I missed her Letterman appearance. Is it possible that someone could sum up what happened, and maybe through in a quote or two? Thanks!
But that might imply that she drinks Sauvignon Blanc (a wine for which “cat’s pee” is not only an acceptable descriptive term, but a compliment). Courtney seems more like a Jack Daniels girl. Or Keystone Light.
