As classy as always, C Love!

Courtney Love was approached by some paparazzi while at JFK airport yesterday and as you can see by the pic, it was a pleasant encounter. As she scurried past the photographers, she shared her distaste for them by way of her tongue.

Charming! And, how old are we?

Well, boy. This is awkward.

Recently, these pictures (above) began circulating the net of Courtney Love in some pretty affectionate positions with actor Michael Pitt, which prompted many to assume that the two had gotten into a relationship!

Pretty fair assumption, considering the way these two seem to be interacting, no?

Which would be good and fine, except that Pitt actually played Love's deceased ex-husband, Kurt Cobain, in Gus Van Sant's Last Days!

Creeeeeeepy!

But hey - if they're both into it…congratulations?

What do U think??

Inneresting!

In celebration of the tenth anniversary of the release of Moulin Rouge, Baz Luhrman sat down for an in-depth interview about the film and revealed some shocking details about which stars auditioned for the lead roles - and which were really close to landing them!

Although we can't imagine Christian and Satine being played by anyone else other than Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, at least for the male lead, Ewan had some hefty competition. Baz reveals that Brokeback Mountain co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger both were front-runners for the part at one point. Baz explains:

"Dear Heath Ledger, [he had] incredible scenes with Nicole. Because at one stage, Christian [the role that went to McGregor] was very young, he was a younger guy, and then I was aware of Ewan but I didn't know if he could sing… [And] Jake should do a musical. He's a wonderful actor, but [he has a] great voice, tremendous voice. He sang some [Stephen] Sondheim for me, complicated singing, great voice. When is he going to guest on 'Glee?' "

We don't know! When, Ryan Murphy, WHEN?! LOLZ!

As for the role of Satine, there was no question for Baz that Nicole was the right choice, but for a time, Baz considered giving a part to Courtney Love, a woman he calls "wild and unpredictable and a great performer." No, she wouldn't have gotten the lead, but he did want to find a place for her, espcially after she so graciously offered him the rights to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. In the end though, she was kept behind-the-scenes.

Yeah, that was probably for the best. We don't know how spectacular, spectacular she would've been under the pressure of filming a major motion picture. But Heath…now that would've been interesting. It's hard to picture, but if there's an audition tape flying around, we'd love to see it!

Courtney Love is firing back at Kelly Osbourne after she cracked a sobriety joke about the recovering addict on E!'s Fashion Police.

In a video posted to the interweb responding to a fans inquiry about the length of her sobriety, Courtney said:

"Kelly Osbourne and Joan Rivers called me a crackhead on the E! channel. Kelly knows I'm sober. Kelly knows there's no drugs allowed at my house. I think it's really lame."

Courtney, who claims she has been sober "since October '05", is taking Osbourne's joke pretty hard.

She doesn't seem to think it's fair that she is labeled a crackhead while Kelly has had her own share of drug problems, saying:

"This girl I know, Kelly Osbourne, I've saved her life twice. I've done CPR, I've put things in her boobs. [She was on] Oxycontin, cocaine, foaming at the mouth."

Courtney even dropped a bomb that Sharon Osbourne had paid a publicist hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep Kelly's "huge drug problem" out of the media.

Perhaps she was most hurt because she considers Kelly a friend and said:

"Kelly and me get along great … but it's gross. I don't like being the punchline for drugs when I don't do them, so stop it."

It sounds like they both have had drug troubles in the past, but through it all, have developed some kind of a friendship.

We wish Courtney the best as she continues her sober journey and hope these two can work out this issue.

Do U think it was fair for Kelly to criticize Courtney for her drug problems on television?

Whoops! Were you supposed to spill those romantic beans, girl? We think not!

While attending an event in NYC, Courtney Love announced to sources that she was happy to hear that Ed Norton had finally popped the question to his girlfriend of six years, film producer Shauna Robertson. Thing is, until she mentioned, no one had known anything about it, but it didn't stop her from sharing her thoughts on her former fiance's upcoming nuptials. He revealed that Ed asked Shauna to marry him three weeks ago while the pair traveled to India and Courtney insisted that they better get started on growing their family not that they are official. She explained:

"Wow, it's about time. He's 41, they've been together for six years. He needs to have babies. I wonder what kind of ring he got her? He bought me a ruby."

Rubies are nice…diamonds are forever! Hopefully, that's what will be dangling on her finger when the duo clear up this little announcement for Court's.

Though the moment might be spoiled, we're still really happy for them. Congrats, you two! Live long and happily together!

We weren't sure we'd ever see this day, but holy shiz! It's happened!

Courtney Love and her former Hole bandmates, Melissa auf der Maur, Patty Schemel, and Eric Erlandson all reunited last night in honor of a screening of the new documentary about Schemel's life, Hit So Hard, at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC last night, and we can't belove how lovely everyone looks (above)!

Amazing! We're so thrilled that they could all put whatever differences they may have still had aside in order to support this film!

We're very curious to see it!

Now, c'mon, guys! Mini-reunion tour? Maybe? Please?!

Just saying!

Wow. It's amazing that there's still never-before-heard material from him.

A new documentary chronicling the story of former Hole band member Patty Schemel premiered at the SXSW this week, and on top of focusing on the drummer's drug addiction and the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff, it also features never-before-seen footage of the late Nirvana frontman performing an unreleased song with then-wife Courtney Love!

Hit So Hard reportedly features home footage of the couple performing the track, called Stinking of You.

Love reportedly explains in the doc:

"Kurt used to hang around us, 'cos he hated his band [Nirvana]."

Furthermore, when the film premieres in New York on March 28th, all original members of Love's band, including Schemel, Melissa Auf de Maur, and Eric Erlandson, are expected to be present.

So cool!

Personally, we're very curious to see this one, partly for this footage of Cobain, but also because frankly, we effing love us some Hole!

What do U think?? Are U interested in the previously unseen footage and music?

Oh boy. Buckle your seat belts, folks, she's ba-aack!

After being banned for two months and $430,000 in fines due to some libelous statements about fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir - amongst a whole lot of other crazy - Courtney Love is back on Twitter, and it's as though she never left!

If you check her out under her new moniker, cloverxxxlove, you can see that she claims to be on the social network "until [her] friend is sober," as well as some pretty nasty digs against Chelsea Handler, who is now dating the Hole singer's former rumored beau, Andre Balzas!

She writes:

i think you are a leathery idiot and rude. and beyond stupid.

chelsea your about as sober as the old coke dealer from the 80s that someone brought to my house

And of course, check out some of the other gems she's since posted over the past 24 hours:
