Cunt-Knee Love to sell Kurt Cobain's belongings.
 
Enough time has passed. she will now be making millions selling kurt no-brain's personal items. her investment has come to fruition.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Musi....ap/index.html
 


NEW YORK (AP) -- Courtney Love, widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, says she plans to sell most of his belongings.
"I'm going to have a Christie's auction," Love, 42, tells AOL music Web site Spinner.com. "(My house) is like a mausoleum."
Love and Cobain wed in 1992 and had a daughter, Frances Bean, that year. Cobain committed suicide in 1994.
"My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant ... bag full of flannel ... shirts," says Love, former frontwoman of the rock band Hole. "A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to '(Smells Like) Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just ... sell."
No date has been set for the auction, AOL publicist Kurt Patat told The Associated Press on Monday. AOL is owned by Time Warner, CNN.com's parent company.
Love, whose upcoming album is titled, "Nobody's Daughter," says friends support the idea.
"Everyone's been positive and behind me on it," she says. "We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity."
She'll have a chance to move on from Cobain, too.
"I still wear his pajamas to bed. How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?"

can understand wanting to get rid of stuff as thats something you have to do when someone dies. i hope that the money goes to a worthy cause.

floatingslowly 04.30.2007 12:13 PM

Francis Bean really has boobs now? :(

christ, I really feel old....

Trasher02 04.30.2007 12:16 PM

How low can you go.
Less drugs = more money, Courntey.

tsch!

professional widow...

king_buzzo 04.30.2007 12:42 PM

Why the hell does Courtney look like Cher and the daughter looks like emobain????

tesla69 04.30.2007 02:09 PM

How long were they actually married/together anyway?

Maybe her daughter would like "a giant ... bag full of flannel ... shirts" (whats with the "..."'s anyway, is she out of breath or something?) to remember her dad by and have a piece of history. Better they sell it so Courtney can continue living her revolting hollyweird lifestyle.

The Usher 04.30.2007 02:12 PM

Fuckin stupid cunt bitch.

cuetzpalin 04.30.2007 04:16 PM

frances's so similar to cobain..
 

 


by the way i really can't imagine i'd have something from close dead person. when my ex died i just threw everything away

luxinterior 04.30.2007 04:19 PM

I like her name, well her first name at least. My middle name is Frances.

HECKLER SPRAY 04.30.2007 04:25 PM

She 's got Kurt's eyes.

cuetzpalin 04.30.2007 04:29 PM

..and chin. and lips.

nicfit 04.30.2007 04:42 PM

It's genetics.
And don't forget that you don't have to compare her face with Courtney's on those pics, she (courtney) did NOT look like that back in the days.

cassidy 04.30.2007 05:24 PM

that's sad. i would keep all of my boyfriends belongings if he died. maybe i'm a sentimentalist or something, but i would. & maybe she should wait to sell all of it until frances is 18 & old enuf to decide what she wants to keep.
kurt would really hate this i believe.

Katy 04.30.2007 07:00 PM

I'm surprized she's kept that much of his crap this long.

He's been dead, what, thirteen years now? My grandmother was married to my grandfather for 60+ years and she'd chucked 90% of his stuff before the funeral...

Savage Clone 04.30.2007 07:02 PM

Yeah, really.
I mean, I am the last person to defend Courtney Love, but I would think that selling off this stuff would be her option. There's plenty of other stuff to criticize her for.

Most sources claim that Kurt was a loving father. There's some very sweet photos of them together.

That's exactly the sort of thing I was about to post.

Why the hell should CL keep loads of KC's belongings? Oh yeah, of course, because he's a saint, and one day the Church of Kur(d)t Cobain will want some relics to parade through the streets on his saints day, together with a vial of his 90% heroin blood, which will miraculously liquify and be injected by the church's archbishop. I keep forgetting that.



(Disclaimer - I have nothing against Kurt Cobain, but I do have something against this idea that he should be idolised for nothing more than a bad drug habit and a messy suicide)

tesla69 05.01.2007 09:23 AM

So how long were Court and Kurtney actually together? 3 years?

Washing Machine 05.01.2007 11:35 AM

I dont blame her its a good thing. Objects aren't people. It memories that are important....plus if the money is going to charity. Although why people want to have someone's everyday objects just because they are famous is beyond me.

ALIEN ANAL 05.01.2007 11:42 AM

kind of off topic but kind of not

On this music channel here they just played The Used's new song and had a caption down the bottom asking if we thought the singer looked like Cobain.

I still think the singer looks like the girl from Napoleon Dynomite.

Rob Instigator 05.01.2007 12:16 PM

was there ever a will fro kurt? I am sure there are tons of friends and people he worked with that would love items from him.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 05.01.2007 12:32 PM

Are they going to auction off Frances too?

She turns 18 in 3 years! I can keep her in a box until then!

The Usher 05.01.2007 12:51 PM

I don't think it matters why she's getting rid of them, but the main problem with this is that she's selling them, rather than giving them away...

atsonicpark 05.01.2007 01:30 PM

who the fuck is courtney love?

atsonicpark 05.01.2007 01:31 PM

and who the fuck is kurt cobain?

Well if she doesn't make money off his stuff someone else will - it may as well stay in the family.

Well, she could auction it for charity, at least then someone who's not gonna stick it into their veins would benefit...

I don't really care what she does with it, she'll end up with nothing anyway...

Rob Instigator 05.01.2007 04:06 PM

just because a junkie drugged out burn out says she will be selling stuff and giving oney to charity does NOT mean she will give it all to charity nor that she will give a substantial amount to charity.
she could give 5% of the proceeds to a local shelter and say "I sold it for charity."

I hate rich fucks who claim this shit. if you want to give to charity and have it truly be charity then give out of your own money. don;t sell a house you mo longer want and use the tax write off for charity.
I hate that shit.

here here. sooooo many rich people claim to give to charity when ya know they prolly aren't even giving half of what they could. but now they sound like good folk givin to charity & all.
something tells me courtney is not goin to be giving much of the money to charity. she's never done anything selfless before.

Everyneurotic 05.01.2007 06:28 PM

why are we still talking about that junkie hillbilly?

because she used to be très fuckable, and people have spilled gallons of seed before her image?

i have no idea, really. she's a human wreck and i care not for her antics.

but isn't it a bit contradictory to reject this thread by bumping it??

oh yes. me too.

LittlePuppetBoy 05.01.2007 06:50 PM

I'm curious. Do these items include his record collection?

SynthethicalY 05.01.2007 07:22 PM

I'm okay with it as long as she use the money to have plastic surgery so she can look like she did before she did plastic surgery.

Everyneurotic 05.01.2007 07:28 PM

and i have a question, why do all nirvana fans think they have a better understanding of kurt cobain than anyone else and feel they have a better right than his widow to do or say of him and his legacy?

i'm not starting fights or anything, i just want to know; because owning nevermind and learning all the lyrics doesn't count as having a personal relationship with the dead junkie.

SynthethicalY 05.01.2007 07:29 PM

I stopped being like that every-e, but I know what you are saying.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 05.01.2007 07:44 PM
