Courtney Love is no longer Courtney Love. She’s decided to take on an image overhaul that’s expected to take the rest of her remaining years on Earth by dropping her stage name, “Love,” and it’s not because she feels like she might actually get some work because of it, either.
Courtney states that her last name has “oppressed” her practically since taking it on back in the eighties as a part of her stage persona. The disgruntled star speaks out and states that she wants to go back to her roots of “Courtney Michelle Harrison,” which is her real(ish) name.
Whatever-she-wants-to-be-called-these-days speaks to Britain’s NME Magazine and states that calling her by her “Love” moniker is a good way to oppress her (and send her into a barbiturate-induced rage of Mork and Mindy-like rantings, I’m sure):
“We’ve all decided we don’t like her (Courtney Love) any more. We love her when she goes on stage but I don’t need her in the rest of my life. (Call me) Courtney Michelle. The name Courtney Love is a way to oppress me.”
First of all, “we?” Who the fuck is she talking about, her multiple personalities? Or is she speaking for the general public? I don’t get it. Is the angsty performer trying to pick a fight? ‘Cause you KNOW no one’s going to refer to crazy bitch as “Courtney Michelle.” It makes me think of a long-lost Olsen twin and then I get to gagging up my breakfast at the image of Mary-Kate and Ashley sharing a womb with a view of Courtney Love. She’s digging herself into a hole by doing this. I can’t wait to hear the first round of Courtney Michelle-dissenters voicing their yak about her name-change and the Twitter retaliation thereafter.
Have at it, Court. This should be some good, old-fashioned entertainment.
