Courtney Love is no stranger to courting controversy and she uses that image perfectly in a new ad for NJOY electronic cigarettes.
The ad begins in what appears to be a ballroom at an upper-class event. An elder woman meets with a younger attendee who nods in Love’s direction with a disapproving gaze. The elder woman, who appears to be in charge of the event, then moves toward Love, who is staring outside a window while smoking.
The NJOY new media campaign was reportedly inspired by one of Love’s real-life experiences, showing that smokers now have the option to take a “puff” indoors without disturbing others.
WATCH what happens….

Courtney Love and the Kurt Cobain estate tapped Director Brett Morgen to make a film examining the life of the late Nirvana frontman, and the project has started to come together after five years of planning. Morgen most recently helmed the Rolling Stones documentary Crossfire Hurricane.
Though Cobain’s legacy centers around his music, Morgen hopes to shed some light on the rocker’s other artistic pursuits. “The thing about him people might not know too is that he was an incredible visual artist and left behind a treasure chest of comic books, paintings, Super 8 films, all sorts,” said Morgen, calling the film “a mix of animation and live action that’ll allow the audience to experience Kurt in a way they never have before.” Morgen hopes to release the film in 2014.

Oh, what is that Courtney Love up to now? If one recent report is correct, she’s getting ready to revisit Kurt Cobain‘s legacy with a musical inspired by his early years in Nirvana. The news was broken by Britney Spears‘ former manager Sam Lutfi, who revealed Love’s plans in the Los Angeles courtroom where he’s involved in a defamation case against Spears’ mother.
It’s wise to take this news with a grain of salt for all sorts of reasons — not the least of which is the fact that Love was recently forced to hand over the rights to Cobain’s name, likeness and image to their daughter Frances Bean, thanks to the terms of a $2.75 million loan Love took against Frances’ trust in 2010. And even if that doesn’t prove a legal barrier on the project’s journey to the stage and screen, the whole thing seems unlikely given Love’s sporadic output over the last 15 years or so.

Courtney Love and Dave Grohl have been all over the news this week. If you’re late to the game, Love launched into a nasty tirade about Grohl during a Hold concert at SWU Festival in Brazil, after spotting a fan carrying a photo of her late husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. She got on the subject of Grohl’s fights to stake his claim to some of the Nirvana residuals, and the rant went viral. Now, Nirvana bass player Krist Novoselic seems to be coming to the defense of his former band mate in a series of Tweets, praising the Foo Fighters frontman.
Novoselic’s first Tweet read, “Q: Why do Foo Fighters pack arenas? A: Because they ROCK!!!!!!!” He quickly followed up with another Tweet in support of Grohl: “David Eric Grohl = Talent + Focus + Hard Work #Ilove you.” Both messages went out Wednesday (Nov. 16). We love the simple fact Novoselic is standing up for his good buddy.

Story by Anne Erickson
Kurt hated Dave? AND Axl? The latter we can understand. Who doesn’t hate Axl Rose? But Dave Grohl? Re-he-healy?
The divas and divos of the ever-egocentric music industry sound off on EACH OTHER. Wow are these people petty, even catty. Check this out:
Flavorwire lists the top 30 Harshest Musician-on-Musician Insults in History and quotes some major heavies such as Kurt Cobain, Elton John, Tupac and Christina Aguilera.
Read some favorites below and click here for full article. You will not regret it.
29. Christina Aguilera on Lady Gaga
“I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman.”
24. Courtney Love on Dave Grohl “As for that drummer, well, he’s hit on me so many times. He’s just a very very conflicted guy about me, which is why he continually writes songs about me to hear he ‘hates’ me more than ‘anyone else.’ Kurt loathed HIM more than anyone else (except a journalist) … He’s just sub-mediocre kind of [guy] who does this ‘nice guy’ nonsense.”
23. Dave Grohl on Courtney Love “She’s an ugly fucking b*tch.”
19. Kurt Cobain on Guns N’ Roses “They’re really talentless people, and they write crap music, and they’re the most popular rock band on the earth right now. I can’t believe it.”
15. Elvis Costello on Morrissey “Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.”
14. Noel Gallagher on Jack White “He looks like Zorro on doughnuts.”
7. Elton John on Madonna “Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay £75 to see them should be shot.”
6. Boy George on Madonna “A vile, hideous human being with no redeeming qualities.”
5. Boy George on Elton John “All that money, and he’s still got hair like a f*cking dinner lady.”
4. Elton John on Keith Richards “It’s like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go onstage and look young.”
It’s hard to argue with Elton there. No offense to arthritic monkeys.
