Courtney Love claims she had a lesbian fling with Kate Moss

The widow of Nirvana star Kurt Cobain had dropped hints weeks ago about a tryst with a female pin-up, who she claimed chased her round a room, leading to a sex session.

“It happened and it was fun and whatever. And she talks about it and so I hope she doesn”t get mad that I outed her about it.

“I feel like such a kiss and tell. Kate”s great, though! Kate”s a good friend of mine. I almost bought her house in St John”s Wood, London,” she added. (ANI)

Courtney Love cosies up to Uma Thurman’s ex

New York, May 18 (ANI): Rock musician Courtney Love has added fuel to rumours that she is involved with actress Uma Thurman’s hotelier-ex Andre Balazs after she was spotted cosying up to him.

Love, 45, had denied rumours that she was romantically involved with Balazs, saying that he was nothing more than an “old friend” and her “sometimes landlord”.

But their recent behaviour at Balazs’ uber-exclusive club Boom Boom Room inside the Standard Hotel suggested otherwise.

“They came to the Boom Boom Room together late Thursday night and initially went their separate ways,” the New York Daily News quoted a source as saying.

“At first, Courtney was chatting with a couple of guys about her music. But eventually, she and Andre snuck out to the smoking deck together and were hugging and being touchy.

“They both seemed very sweet and genuine,” the source stated.

But when Balazs was approached by a woman he knew, Love is said to have lost it.

“When Courtney and Andre decided to call it a night and hail a cab, Andre was stopped by a woman he knew,” the source revealed.

“As soon as he started talking to her, Courtney hit the roof. It was obvious to everyone that the woman was a business associate, but not to Courtney.

“She acted like a toddler! It got so bad that the woman Andre was talking to got really embarrassed, and he had to apologize and walk away. By then, Courtney was crying and screaming.

“Andre started shouting right back at her. They eventually got into a cab, but the few people left on the street at that hour were in shock,” the source added. (ANI)

Washington, Sep 18 (ANI): American singer Jon Bon Jovi has disapproved the use of late Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain’s image in a new edition of Guitar Hero video game.

Jovi, 47, agrees with former Nirvana rockers Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl’s protests of being “dismayed and very disappointed” after learning their bandmate’s likeness can be used to play songs by other artists in Guitar Hero 5.

“I don’t know that I would have wanted it either. To hear someone else’s voice coming out of a cartoon version of me? I don’t know. It sounds a little forced,” Contactmusic quoted Jovi as saying.

When approached by bosses from game giant Activision to appear alongside Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Cash in the game, he declined the opportunity.

“I don’t know how I would have reacted to that. I don’t know that I would have wanted it either,” he added.

Cobain’s widow Courtney Love announced last week she was taking legal action against Activision chiefs, insisting that she would never have agreed to the project if she knew Cobain would be “reincarnated” for renditions of Bon Jovi’s hit. (ANI)
