Love's relocated to NYC claiming people on her L.A. staff "enlisted off-duty, gun-wielding cops to stage bogus 'raids' on her Malibu home" in an attempt to pilfer Kurt Cobain's fortune. There's so much more. ... CONTINUE READING COURTNEY LOVE'S PHONES AND COMPUTERS BUGGED, SAYS COURTNEY LOVE»

Seemingly pissed that the "overpriveliged bratty" Gossip Girl "bitch" has a Love-y look and plays in a band, Courtney spewed nonsensical and typographically challenged invective @taylorxmomsen, a Twitter handle that doesn't exist.

The 15 year old's sounding like she has a good head on her shoulders, saying the right stuff about her fame ("These people are fascinated by me, but I haven't done anything ... If you're a big Nirvana fan, a big Hole fan, then I understand why you would want to get to know me, but I'm not my parents ... People need to wait until I've done something valid with my life") and even offering props to her paternal Grandma ("she's probably the person I respect most out of anybody in the world"). Now that's the teen spirit. As far as a future career, though, the magazine reports that "she's thought about photography and/or journalism (there may be a summer internship at Rolling Stone)." Summer internship at Rolling Stone?! Corporate magazines still suck, Franny.
