Courtney Love says sorry to daughter, not that anyone believes she’s any less mental (Dave Grohl tweets)

COURTNEY LOVE is, without doubt, the most insane person on planet Earth right now. More insane than an attic filled with Robert Mugabe’s self-portrait pyjamas.

If you missed it, Courtney has been saying that Dave Grohl tried to hump her daughter, Frances Bean. She also said that Grohl has a ‘rapey’ thing going on. Grohl dismissed the claims while Frances, the child Courtney had with Nirvana death boy Kurt Cobain, has called for twitter to ban her mother.

Ostensibly, everyone has slowly turned their back on the Hole frontwoman because she’s not only insane, but impressively annoying with it too. While our backs are collectively turned, Love has now started shouting again… and this time, she’s sorry.

The Simon Cowell Sex Factor: lover stole TV star’s wallet and X Factor secrets but never told anyone

DAY Three of Simon Cowell’s orgy of print, according to Tom Bower’s serialised biography. Having not had sex with Cheryl Cole, Natalie Imbruglia and sat next to “brave” Dannii Minogue on the telly, the Sun’s front-page news is that the macho TV mogul once took a “woman” back to his LA hotel room. There, she stole “his wallet and a laptop full of show secrets”. It was just dumb luck that the thief he met in America last October never realised the wallet belonged to minter TV megastar S. Cowell or opened the computer and accessed the Top Secret X Factor Files. She most likely tossed the haul into a canal and went into hiding.

While the Sun bangs on about the X Factor for two pages – the sensation is that Cowell realised last year’s show was crap – the Daily Star ignores that and leads with news that Simon Cowell was “secretly engaged to a Daily Star Page 3 girl”.

Grace Dent v Mufadal Jiwaji – send for The Women

GRACE Dent upset Twitter user Mufadal Jiwaji for being not beautiful on BBC TV’s Have I Got News For You. He tweeted:

“@gracedent reminds me of a girlfriend I once had. By girlfriend I mean that time I accidentally made love to an ugly abhorrent horse.”

In Jiwaji’s world women are all little girls who crave to be pretty and be told so. Is Jiwaji is like most men (but maybe not him), he would be delighted were Dent to knock on his front door, offer a big warm smile, call him cute and tell him that after she cooked him a great dinner she will shag his brains out. (No, not “make love”, Jiwaji.  She just wants sex. Right now. With you.). No woman to any man is an “ugly abhorrent horse”. Her only crime is not to have rubbed his leg and offered him a profiterole.

Brad Pitt & Angelina to get married and move their 30,000 children into British schools

AFTER spending their whole relationship sneering about marriage, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are going to get hitched. They obviously love each other so much that, now, the only thing left to do which will show each other how achingly in love they are, is to get the government involved.

How romantic. And it isn’t like celebrity marriages are fraught, tense affairs that explode in an ugly, messy, public fashion are they? Fingers crossed.

Of course, being Different From Other Celebrities (trademark, Johnny Depp), the pair won’t be getting married in America because it sucks and has absolutely no culture. And so, they’re going to go and tie the knot in France this summer, doing their best to focus on wine and castles, rather than the seething racism that made France what it is today.

Kurt Cobain recorded inevitably awful solo album before he blew his brains up

KURT COBAIN committed suicide and, for many, it was awful. The people who felt it most are those who are in their early thirties now because they were not only massive fans of Nirvana, but they were slightly too young to attend any of their gigs, leaving them in some terrible limbo.

Of course, the second Cobain pulled the trigger, he became exempt from criticism and ensured that his back catalogue would forever be held in the highest regard. Looking after the musical legacy however, is a combination of people who hate each other so much that you’d be forgiven for thinking that Kurt did himself a massive favour by fleeing the monstrous characters he would’ve had to live with.

Justin Bieber’s mum wants him to hang out with One Direction

ONE Direction and Justin Bieber have been spending time together in the USA. We know this because Bieber told ITV’s Daybreak:

“[One Direction] were here a couple of days ago, they hung out at my house. We never worked on anything, we just hung out, they’re just cool. They’re around my age.”

They hung out at Justin’s house because they are about the same age? Curb your enthusiasm, Justin. When you hang out with people at home because they are around you age it’s because your mum is either a baby sitter or invited the other children’s mum over for chat about tutoring or for a Tupperware Party.

Courtney Love hated by her daughter and Kurt’s best friends

THIS might surprise you, but Courtney Love has been going mad again. You may think that her wild ramblings, ‘accidental’ nude leaks of herself via her own twitter account, bizarre plastic surgery and the whole Burning Her House Down may be little more than accidents. However… and bear with us… she’s looking like she might be actually insane.

So much so that her own daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, wants twitter to ban her from the site after Courtney claimed Dave Grohl tried to shag Kurt Cobain’s daughter.

Zombie Tupac and Nate Dogg to rise from the dead at Coachella Festival!

ONE of the best ways to maximise the money you make from your music is to die. John Lennon, Elvis and Janis Joplin all sold a million more records as soon as they snuffed the lid. Of course, it didn’t work out that way for Scatman John, but there’s always exceptions to a rule.

Another of entertainment’s hardest working corpses is Tupac, who despite being almost entirely devoid of talent, managed to become a poster boy for white, middle class kids who like straight peaked caps, all typing ‘THUG LIFE’ and #SWAG on each other’s social media networks.

Finding Marilyn – the TV contest to sexually exploit and murder the new Marilyn Monroe

MARILYN Monroe is evoked in a TV show to find the new Marilyn Monroe. Deadline reports on a televised hunt for a new starlet to be the new Marilyn Monroe. Presumably, for authenticity, MM2 will be sexually exploited and murdered – controversial? – by shadowy forces close to the President of the USA:

Entertainment One has teamed with the Estate of Marilyn Monroe to develop and produce Finding Marilyn, a competition reality series that will emulate Monroe’s journey to stardom by featuring twelve young girls as they travel to Los Angeles to compete for a chance to become the next Hollywood “it” girl.

Joe Eszterhas’ letter to ‘Jew hater’ Mel Gibson and Gibson’s reply in full – the Judah Maccabee missives

JOE Eszterhas has written a letter to Mel Gibson, ostensibly about the actor’s apparent reluctance to work with him on the The Maccabees, the movie of the life of Jewish hero Judah Mccabee.

It’s an odd letter that rambles and rumbles on and on, focusing a lot on Mel’s anti-Semitic outbursts. Eszterhas has written the scripts for the films Showgirl, Basic Instinct and Jade. If the Maccabees script is like this letter then the film might not be worth the effort. Indeed, the best option would be to make a film of the letter, and to include Gibson’s reply, which can be read on the last page:

Guns ‘n’ Roses refused Hall Of Fame by Axl Rose

DESPITE being one of the lousiest rock bands in the history of human ears, Guns ‘n’ Roses had been invited to be part of the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall Of Fame. That’d be the GnFR being invited ahead of proper metal bands who influenced many, like Motorhead, Def Leppard and Iron Maiden. Not some basketball boot wearing, lycra cycling short having, pompous shagsack like Axl Rose preening over pedestrian, noodly pop-metal.

Of course, GNR all hate each other, mainly because Axl Rose is one of the most unpleasant humans on the planet (especially in his plastic-surgery goatee and cornrows years) and Slash, all big and tough, probably still cries himself to sleep when he thinks of the things Rose said to him when the band was falling to pieces.

Cowell bags Britney for $15m to be mental on X Factor

IS Britney Spears heading to the X Factor?

A big part of the X Factor’s charm is that, away from the crooning and contestant back-stories being forcibly rammed down your gullet, is the vague soap opera that dogs the judges. In the UK show, we’ve got the tension between whichever girls Cowell sits on the panel and, of course, the tension that emanates from every single pore on Louis Walsh’s tiny little head.

Over in America, the tension wasn’t quite there. Americans are, of course, unsubtle creatures who need things to be blindingly obvious before they recognise them. And so, to create cartoonish wrongery, Cowell has hired Queen Of The Damaged, Britney Spears.

Alec Baldwin had dinner with his ‘stalker’ Genevieve Sabourin, which is nice (photos)

IMAGINE having a stalker. Horrible eh? Someone pestering you all the time like a toddler with a rapacious sexual appetite and a bag filled with your shaving scum. Well, Alec Baldwin has accused a woman named Genevieve Sabourin of stalking him after she started sending “a series of annoying and unsolicited communications” to the actor.

However, he first had dinner with her in 2010. Nice work. She probably swabbed his dinner plate for DNA and is cloning another Baldwin brother right now.

Was Lindsay Lohan punching a woman or watching ‘Homeland’?

IT doesn’t matter where Lindsay Lohan is in the world, if she takes one step forward or one step back, she finds herself in trouble. And so, having only been off formal probation for roughly 20 seconds, LiLo is already being accused of getting into a scrap outside a nightclub with another woman!

The apparently bruised woman in question filed an incident report alleging battery. The reason? Well, like common or garden bitchfights, it was apparently over a man. Lohan didn’t like the fact she was talking to one of her male friends, resulting in some pushing and shoving.

So, all well and usual then?
