Courtney Love Plans Kurt Cobain Garage Sale

Courtney Love had so much fun selling her fat clothes on eBay, she's now planning an auction for Kurt's wardrobe, according to Spinner.com.

"I'm going to have a Christie's auction. [My house] is like a mausoleum. My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant hefty bag full of flannel fucking shirts ... A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to 'Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just fucking sell."
She's not kidding about the grunge mausoleum...

That jacket would fetch a lot of dough. We suggest something less morbid, perhaps a Daniel Johnston t-shirt. "A bunch" of the money will go to charity, Courtney promises. The rest, presumably, will go toward buying a new horse.

The no talent junkie whore will sell his corpse when she's really broke in 3-5 years. What's the over/under for the Playboy pictorial and who wants to see THAT?

Her daughter will be better off. We don't care what Courtney thinks. Just hope her kid doesn't inherit the same screwed-up brain she does - seeing as her only inheritance is a sweater, guitar and lyrics. And yes, everything Courtney does screams "I'M BROKE" at the top of its lungs.

Kurt was cremated you fuck. It's what you do to a loved ones belongings. Useless baggage.

"Love Eats Hipsters 4 Breakfast" ... nice to see that Courtney takes the time to prowl the internets and polish her golden reputation between lip treatments.

El Duce, in no way that was Courtney. I read those sentences clearly without getting a headache. If you would like to know what real C.Love rambles are, go look at moonwashedrose.com

Theres an article about Nirvana's music being used commercially. You'll be seeing a lot more of that, like it or not.

That's so stupid, what is she thinking? is she even thinking?
I used to like her.. kind of, but she has no soul, whatsoever.

It was really creepy when she was showing off the coat. I felt like I was watching the home shopping channel.

Courtney would be getting as much shit as she is now if she decided to just throw it out..
She might as well make some money because god knows that there's enough idiots willing to pay out the ass for said items.

Oh my God. How much I wish it was her that died. Just imagine for one split second Kurt still alive and no Courtney. Now that is magical.
Oh yeah she's pathetic. Doesn't deserve a damn thing she got or is getting.

yeah, a drug addicted depressive with no will to live and no desire to get better, raising a child and hating every minute of his life. oh, so magical.

this shit makes me sick on a personal level. forget for a second that kurt cobain was kurt cobain; then imagine if it was you who died and your loved ones were selling you off bit by bit. its just wrong.

beyond that 'im keeping what was valuable to him' thats utter crap! you dont think that a musicians guitars and song books and notes and stuff are worth more to them than some flannel-clad image?

secondly it's BS to refer to anything as 'grunge' if you lived it. none of the bands from that era would ever even now say 'im a grunge singer'

this whole mess is beyond disrespectful and i hope she gets what she deserves.

A lot of crap is coming Courtney's way. Mark my words. I am a Medium along with other ancient practices and i am getting more and more info. I have never been a fan of him or his music but in the last two weeks i have started to since he has come to me. With the info i am getting i am going to contact the relavent people to try and reopen the case. Please respect what i do as i do work with sensitive cases like these for many people. eg: kidnap cases with success stories. so please respect my beliefs as i do yours. Things are not going to go your way Courtney. oh and i know you are going to get wind of this!.

Hi.. I don't think she has the right to sell Kurt's dying coat.. She can sell a few clothes of her own or whatever.. But you can't sell that coat, man. I love Courtney I do, but she's gone a bit too far...

People can talk shit down on her all they want. If that makes them feel better. The reality of it all is courtney realy loved him and kurt realy loved her. The proof is Francis. So if it help her to sell the items to deal with the death of her husband then so be it. What the fuck does it matter. As long as that child is raised with atleast one half of that love. Trust me I understand. Its always diffrent when your the victum.
