Now that we’ve paid tribute to Kurt Cobain’s memory, let’s drag it through the mud by talking about his battier than Christian Bale’s boxers widow, Courtney Love. Let’s talk about how she paid roughly $16,000 for a dead bird in a matchbox, then threw a one-woman crazy bitch party when someone with more sense than her (the moving men) mistook it for trash and threw it away.
When [moving] men spotted a dead bird in a matchbox at Courtney Love’s house, they assumed it was junk and threw it out.
But the embryonic chick was an £8,000 artwork, and the widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain is said to be ‘blazing mad’ at its loss.
Insiders say she has thrown a ‘hissy fit’ and fired her assistant for failing to look after such a treasured possession.The untitled artwork by fashionable British artist Polly Morgan – whose creations are much admired by Kate Moss and Damien Hirst – had been standing on a 6ft plinth in the corner of Ms Love’s bedroom. But during preparations for the move in Los Angeles, supervised by the assistant, the pedestal was packed ready for shipping to the new house. The chicklet, however, which was normally seen lying under a mini chandelier, was left sitting on a sideboard.
When the [moving] men came in to pack up the rest of Ms Love’s possessions, they spotted the chick and simply disposed of it.
‘[Courtney has] fired the assistant and is going nuts because, to her, the work was priceless and irreplaceable.’
Lets all have a round of applause for the moving men. This is one of those intriguing moments where real world common sense meets the often ridiculous excesses of the celebrity world. Normally, people who keep dead animals in their bedrooms are not called “art collectors.” They’re called psychopaths. If I were to keep a dead bird in a box on a six foot pedestal in my bedroom, how long do you think it would be before they’d haul my ass off to the nutter institute?
Hell, even the artist who made the piece has described Love as “completely bonkers.” Call me Courtney, but when the chick who puts dead mice in champagne glasses and sells them for thousands of dollars calls you a whackjob, it might be time to get some help.
Oh, Kelly – great post title! The best I could come up with on my blog was the obvious, “Crazy Chick”. Way to go. Love your writing style!
Her “style” is not her own. Go LaineyGossip.
WINNAR!! WINNAR!!
I’ve seen the polly morgan piece she’s talking about, it’s actually pretty astonishing
kinda upsetting that she had it in the first place though
I saw this dead mummified rat in the gutter yesterday, are you telling me I could have put it in a trash bag and sold it to Courtney Love for $16,000?!?
and she always used to talk about a dead birds feather in a matchbox that Kurt gave her…….hmmmm…….everything smells of poo that comes out of her mouth ‘lately’………………..
I just looked through Polly Morgans website…. I don’t think I will ever see the appeal of taxidermy. Especially the bird in the matchbox. It’s disturbing, who the fuck pays $16000 for a dead bird anyway?
I’d like to think that the moving men would have gone to extra effort to throw it away if they knew the nut job paid $16K for it. With the state of the ntion right now and so many people struggling, it’s gone from “eccentric” to just “insulting” when celeb idiots literally throw money away on absolutely nothing. How does Courtney still have so much money anyway? Don’t these people eventually run out of disposable income when they’re not doing ANYTHING to earn money? Or is she still soaking up residual Nirvana dollars indefinitely?
You continually copy Lainey’s style. “Call me Courtney”, (“Call me Cruise)…
WHAT are you talking about? I went to that site and it sucked and wasn’t anything at all like Kelly’s writing style (which is intelligent, witty, and well thought out). That blog was all over the place and not funny really at all…
Agreed. I’ve known Kelly’s writing style for a long time, and she hasn’t changed a thing for this site. She is not copying anybody. I definitely don’t see the comparison between Kelly’s style and Lainey’s.
You got it right. *claps for the moving men* This is the most hilarious story of the week and I love how you wrote about it too. I hope Courteney is planning to donate her body to science once the madness has completely consumed her and disposed of her like movers would of a dead bird. It’ll be interesting to see what they find in there – maybe they’ll be able to identify her specific wacko gene and make sure no one ever gets it again.
I must be in the minority because I don’t think it’s the movers’ job to decide what is trash and what isn’t. Who’s to say that the bird wasn’t a truly sentimental piece – some pet that she had cherished? They were wrong for throwing it away. Now, certainly, I don’t agree with that kind of “art,” and it’s not art in my book as it is. She certainly should have better things on which to spend her money.
WWWWWWHHHHHAAAAAATTTTT??????????
I’m seen many,many rock stars or just rich reople buy really expensive things I can’t explain. I would never spend more than1,000 on paintings,or other art.
I might buy a bentley,but only if I only had Oprah money.
the rest of my shit I’d by at Target’s.
you need to save for a rainy day,like now,when no one’s buying hole or any other records,because we download them for free,almost free.Maybe a $1.00 for the blank C.D. The only way to make money now is to tour and courtney’s not up to giving an awesome concert.Look what what happened to Whitney. People only go now to watch the crash.
