i'm sure some of you must get sick of courtney love but i never grow tired of her - i could post on her everyday if i had to! (don't forget i only have one small tattoo and it's in honor of courtney!) ms. love was leaving groucho club this evening over in london with her pal noel fielding (who won sexiest male at this year's NME awards - i don't see sexy at all - am i missing something?) wearing a dress that slightly reminds me of the queen of hearts in lewis carroll's alice's adventures in wonderland - i wouldn't call that a compliment...i say off with the dress! bad fashion aside at least she's not looking scary skinny like she was a few months back! also the mystery of her dirty finger (which i posted about last week) has been solved...someone left a comment that it was most likely do to her heavy smoking habit - her fingers have become stained with nicotine - gross! now i smoke too (shame on me - yes i know - i'm moving towards quitting...) but my fingers are not stained - ms. love must smoke a helluva lot! instead of smoking so damn much courtney needs to get on top of releasing her second solo album nobody's daughter which i've been waiting for what seems like forever - i'm starting to wonder if it will ever get a proper release?!? popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!

well i suppose your guess is as good as mine - as we all know anything is possible when it comes to courtney love - who was spotted leaving 'private' club groucho over in london around 3am early thursday morning - rocking a single stained finger - gross! girlfriend needs to wash her hands - it's totally not cute at all! all that aside - i just want to know what's going on with her new album nobody's daughter that is way overdue - everyone knows by now that i'm a total freak for ms. love - hopefully the album will be released sometime this year! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!

good evening y'all! everyone should know by now i have this thing for courtney love - she's totally the queen of cool (in my humble opinion) i was so excited when i heard that her lovely daughter frances bean cobain would be making her modeling debut in harper's bazaar magazine! finally we've got a look at her photo shoot in which frances is posed in a few musicals including evita, grease and beauty & the beast - she's so adorable and at just 15 - she's quite mature & very well put together...especially for having grown up under a spotlight - that often included drama - yet ms. love sure did something right - no matter what you may think about her! she must be so proud of frances - plus i bet her legendary dad kurt cobain is looking down from up above with great pride! i'm very curious to see what the future holds in store for her - this girl is going places - mark my words! i still can't believe she's already 15 - it seems like just yesterday when she was born - time sure does fly! make sure to check out the great article that accompanies the photos! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

Of course, it is genetics - her grunge-icon father, Kurt, who took his own life when Frances was not yet two, and her rocker mother, Courtney, now clean after completing drug rehabilitation in 2005 - that has the world so intrigued by Frances. ("She has a legend on her shoulders," Courtney observes.) "I get it, I really do," Frances says with a wriggle, "but at the same time, it's creepy. It's creepy to see fan sites about me." There are almost 200,000 Web pages featuring Frances, which variously anoint her "the most beloved child in rock 'n' roll" or debate burning issues like "Do you think Frances Bean should guest on Hannah Montana?"
"These people are fascinated by me, but I haven't done anything," Frances says. "I'm famous by default. I came out of the womb and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents. If you're a big Nirvana fan, a big Hole fan, then I understand why you would want to get to know me, but I'm not my parents. People need to wait until I've done something valid with my life."

hey hey everyone! so i woke up to the news that britney spears has been released from cedars-sinai medical center - earlier than expected (she was originally supposed to spend 72 hours under lockdown) but apparently she was throwing a fit and being generally unruly - but britney did get a visit from dr. phil mcgraw and now word is that she might be appearing on his daytime talk show this coming monday - yeah that's totally the best place for her to get the help brit desperately needs - ugh - if she goes on that show - brit is a total dumbass! my darling courtney love is also chiming on on ms. spears situation via her myspace blog...which you can read below! you just gotta love ms. love's rambling blog style - it's always a little messy but you totally get her point!
nuthouse man was that truly neccessary? Poor thing, i didnt need to see all that fecal matter on the walls but Thaliens at Cedars is obviously loads nicer than Bellevue- shes takingt far too much adderol, thats what ive heard and what appears to be the issue to me wich is by the way none of my fucking business.or ours. I hope she gets a smoke soon, they dont let you smoke for 72 hours on a 5150, its blows for her, and i feel bad for her , really really bad for her- i came in as an outsiderso i didnt come in as a sweetheart, its slightly easier for me, i was never a good girl,l its still sucks ass, but oh whatever....nevermind.bless i hope people stop hurting on her. xxc
and just a little while ago dr. phil released the statement below to entertainment tonight...i don't know why he's involved - there must be a better doctor that isn't a public figure that could help ms. spears deal with her issues privately - everything about this situation is wrong wrong wrong! who knows what will transpire over the next few days? oh good times! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
My meeting with Britney and some of her family members this morning in her room at Cedars leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention. She was released moments before my arrival and was packing when I entered the room. We visited for about an hour before I walked with her to her car. I am very concerned for her...
good morning boys & girls! below i've got an excerpt of a new blog post from my darling courtney love which she posted to her myspace blog early this morning - she's talking madonna again - saying she didn't mean to slam madge a few weeks ago when on another blog post she said madonna is a great businesswoman, but come on, she is weak as an artist and we all know it...i like madge, but as a relevant musician, it’s a joke she’s singing from such a calculating, thought-out place all the time, it’s never from her gut or heart or intuition... in her usual rambling & messy writing style ms. love comes to the conclusion that she likes 'everyone' - i highly doubt that's true but at least she's trying to make nice - we don't need bad blood between the two ladies although i don't think we'll see them having lunch together anytime soon! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
id i slam madonna? well i didnt mean to, i havent spokent o her in.... oh years- i did need to speak to her recently- about a shared situation but got my information elsewhere- shes very - well i dunno we probably think about the same thing of each other- when we think of each other. we have some mutual friends - a few actually- and stylists and whatnot- so i dunno - im friends with her manager- and always takke waht he says very seriously= idon think i d go so far as to say that i SLAMMED madonna- i dont generally slam anyone these days slagging people is for kids- and id ont believe in evil toungue- evil eye nonsense- you get what you give and thast my core belief so if i said i personally did not find much value as a rock musician in the msuical OUVRE of madonnas WORKS , there isnt much to INSPIRE me as a MUSICIAN in ROCK MUSIC of the lower fidelity authentic ( i spose that what it could be called) sort - slickness doest interest me much at this point- and theres alot of slickness in the POP MUSIC OUVRE, or it would not sell- i think shes had some fine producers and i like...well ive never really listened to her music to be honest- shes a nice person we have a faded but complex relationship to one another - and with time children a marriage all sorts of things relax in a person so i dont know- i dont think i salmmed her i think ipraised her business acumen- and her ability to not screw up a good thing- im far m,ore self destructive quite obviously and shit....were not even in the same category of MUSIC- were just bnoth quite famous so ive been told........ in any case i like EVERYONE. read full blog post
good evening! so i've been having nightmares lately from my darling courtney love's new 'queen of the dead' look (well not really but it sounds good - i did actually have a really cool dream that featured sarah silverman last night but that's another whole story...) lately ms. love has been sporting these really creepy & scary color contacts (pictured below) that make her look just plain awful & demonic - i've complained before on here about people wearing color contacts - i loathe them! (just last week i had a gripe with britney spears' unnaturally blue eyes) courtney was out & about with her pals riding around in a rickshaw near the groucho club in the soho area of london - i guess at least she seems fairly clean & sober but she's still smoking - you have to watch this video over on TMZ of courtney heading into a NYC hotel with a lit cigarette in hand - she just doesn't give a fuck and that's why i adore her! i really want courtney's second solo album nobody's daughter to get a release date - i know it's going to be tight! so i've been enjoying my day off and this morning i secured tickets (2nd row orchestra!) to go see tori amos when she swings by los angeles on dec 16th - i'm beyond anxious to see her play live again - it has been awhile! (plus i'm going with my pal tabloid whore!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo! 
oh my gosh! compared to those not so flattering pics from the other day - my courtney love looks radiant below - she was caught by the folks over at celebrity babylon shopping after hours at diavolina down on robertson (in a very cute dress designed by giles deacon) apparently the photographer told ms. love they'd scram if she just 'vogued' from them a bit - hence the picture below! (there are more photos over at celebrity babylon) anytime courtney is caught looking good - it's a must post - you all know by now i'm totally in 'love' with her! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
PS if you head over to ms. love's website - there's a new track streaming called pennyroyal tea! (oops - my bad - it's a cover of a nirvana track!)

good evening y'all! i can't believe i actually made it through the day (and i've got another concert tomorrow... dolores o'riordan) my headache has subsided and now as promised i've got a bit more info (along w/ some pics & a small bit of video) on courtney love's 'secret' show (sponsored by myspace) at the roxy last night! (a totally kick ass small venue - and where i first saw amy winehouse in person) i arrived around 10:30pm - lots of people outside mixed in with general sunset blvd craziness - luckily i bypassed the lines and went straight inside (through the side door) to claim my spot! i was only able to grab one drink (yes a whiskey sour - i'm a total pussy when it comes to liquor - i prefer red wine but you can never really trust wine at a bar - those bottom of the bottle tannins will get you everytime!)
of course the main floor was totally packed but thankfully i was able to wedge myself front & center with only a few people in front of me! i quickly sucked down my drink which did give me a slight buzz right before ms. love took the stage around 11pm - the curtains lifted and there my rock goddess was - with a lit cigarette already hanging from her pouty lips - she loves to smoke and did so throughout her set - even handing one out to the crowd which was passed around in the front! (i need to quit smoking myself but damn i enjoy it so much - even knowing it'll probably kill me in the end - heck you only live once)
she started off wearing some kinda pin-striped blazer (designed by some dude from london) but that was quickly tossed aside as it started to get really hot in there - she was sweating profusely as was i because i was jumping around & rocking out (as best as one can packed in between a bunch of people) tossing my hands up and singing along especially to some of her hot classics like miss world & doll parts off hole's 1994 album live through this (one of the best albums ever - i can't even begin to describe my personal feeling on that one!) along with two tracks off 1998's celebrity skin - including the title cut and malibu!
the main point of the gig was to showcase her new album nobody's daughter which still has not gotten a set release date which is a total shame since she has some great new tracks plus ms. love got help from producer linda perry who is beyond talented and has helped a lot of people nail hit tracks! (plus she had billy corgan's genius in the mix as well) courtney was totally playful and adorable up on stage even though her weight did concern me a bit - she's way too thin - there's no question about it (someone from the crowd screamed 'eat a crouton') but she wasn't fucked up at all - totally sober - sipping on can of coca-cola! she was flanked by a full band (including one adorable guy named liam i believe) and cranked through pretty much her entire new album! (if girlfriend can toss on about 15lbs - she'll be perfect!)
during her heartfelt ballad letter to god she looked really sad at the end and you could tell she was on the verge of tears - it's a kick ass song but for sure on the reflective side of things and was penned by linda perry (and ms. love thanked her for the song before she kicked it off) she started to cry and was comforted by one of her gal band members - she quickly composed herself and got right back at rocking out! one song is totally stuck in my head - her new track pacific coast highway - i can't wait to hear the official album version!
right now if you head over to her newly revamped website you can listen to her track dirty girls - i hope her new album gets released this year! by the end of the show which lasted about an hour and a half - i was drenched in sweat and totally beat - i headed outside with my new found way adorable friend & popbytes reader gil where we saw photographer david lachapelle (who i think is dating courtney but i thought he was gay - gosh i'm so confused on that whole issue...) along with jael from ANTM who was beyond friendly & approachable and told me i could quote her on saying she basically doesn't give a flying fuck who thinks she's crazy and she'd kick anyone's ass but then hug them after she was done - she was totally awesome & simply gorgeous in person - she's got a few projects in the works and even posed for some pictures with mr. gil who was about to pass out with excitement!
oh my word for me being way tired i just wrote a long ass post! overall i had an excellent time and for courtney love being 43 - bitch has still got it - i sometimes can't put my finger on why i love her so much (along with why i have a tattoo in her honor) but let me just tell you - she fucking rocks and i will love her until the end - she just does it for me - skinny or plump! (like i always say i've got tori amos on my right & courtney love on my left) i hope at some point i'll be able to meet up with ms. love and pick her brain a bit along with a little worship & praise - little ms. frances bean has one cool mom and i know wherever kurt cobain is - he's smiling down on both courtney & frances (fuck all those damn conspiracy theories - i don't buy it for a minute) i must give special shout outs to nic adler who was beyond gracious for helping me gain entry to the show - plus dallas souter who helped me secure the pictures & video posted here - it's much appreciated! rock & blog on - and stay tuned here for the latest news on what ms. love is up to - popbytes freakin' loves her! i'm over & out for tonight - i hope some of you will enjoy my lengthy post - xxoo!
PS once again for the record i stand 100% behind her first solo album from 2004 america's sweetheart - being a total fan - i loved it!

UPDATE @ 1:17AM i'm home - i'm alive - i'm fucking so damn tired but i had a blast! i will say courtney love is looking way too thin but damn she's still got it - she was great - the new material was awesome mixed in with some oldies but goodies like 'miss world' & 'doll parts' - i can't bear to do a full write up right now but tomorrow night (wednesday) my review will be up - if anyone took pictures at tonight's show - please send 'em over via email! popbytes over & out for tonight - much love to all as always - xxoo!
hey kids! i'm so excited i could burst - i'm heading out the door soon to catch my darling courtney love playing a 'secret' show at the roxy down on sunset blvd! i got to see her a couple of weeks ago with the amazing linda perry at house of blues but that was just a mini set - tonight sounds like a full on set including some of her old hole songs! she recently played in NYC and my pal victoria was there - read her review! i'll try to update this post with a quick review tonight but i know it's going to be a very late night - plus it's only tuesday - work tomorrow is going to be a total blast - ugh! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
i'm way tired and almost ready to go to bed but when i saw these recent pictures of my darling courtney love performing on july 9th over in london - i started to worry because she looks super thin! when i saw her last month here in los angeles she was skinny but not like this - she has always been one of the messiest ladies around - along with being a major popbytes favorite but she needs to put on a fews pounds! i'm also worried about her second solo album nobody's daughter - when will it finally get a proper release?!? i know everyone out there has strong feelings over her (she's a total love or hate type of girl) but i will stand by her to the bitter end! sometimes i don't know why i love her so much but i do - there's no denying it! popbytes over & out for tonight - much love to all as always...xxoo!
