Courtney Love auctioning off Kurt Cobain's belongings from pitchfork:
Courtney Love is an easy target, though maybe unfairly. Because even though she hasn't seemed to do much justice to the memory of Kurt Cobain since his death, her life hasn't exactly been a cakewalk. Losing a spouse and raising a child alone are rough, to say the least, and Cobain worshipers aren't the most forgiving of fans.
So we'll grant her a pass for this latest Kurt-related move. In an interview with AOL music blog Spinner, Love said she plans "to have a Christie's auction" for most of the Cobain memorabilia that she possesses and "make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity." See, there are worse things. Though the decision seems sudden and a little arbitrary coming thirteen years after Cobain's death, Love is apparently just sick of having so many of Cobain's belongings remind her of the past. "[My house] is like a mausoleum," she said. "My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant hefty bag full of flannel fucking shirts... A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to '[Smells Like] Teen Spirit'-- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just fucking sell." The details of the auction are still forthcoming. Love is planning the release of her second solo album, Nobody's Daughter, which draws inspiration from her highly publicized relationships with Cobain, Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, and actor Edward Norton, according to Spinner. "I still wear his pajamas to bed," she said of Cobain. "How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?" | |

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's a little bit sad, but it's good to see her moving on and in a positive way. She still sounds angry though. | |

David Grohl? She made one with him too.
Courtney is a skank and I would bet a weeks pay that her and Kurt wouldn't even be together today if he was still alive. | |
