Airhead for the Hills

heidi_mccain.jpgSo remember four days ago when Heidi Montag endorsed John McCain for president? (If not, maybe it’s time to lay off the Ambien.)

Turns out Spencer’s questionably better half isn’t even registered to vote.

Radar magazine checked voter databases in Los Angeles County, where she currently lives, and Crested Butte, Colo., where she grew up. Nada.

And not that it matters anymore but McCain lost in the Colorado primary, so maybe she should have gotten on that sooner.

Courtney Love: Nevermind What I Said

cobain_shoe.jpgEverybody knows Courtney Love has no shame, but what we didn’t know is that she also has no soul.

The widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain has inked a deal with Converse to make a line of the canvas sneakers emblazoned with his song lyrics and signature.

No word yet on when the footwear company will release a version of the kicks with his suicide note printed on the side.

Of course, rock historians will remember when Love sued the other members of Nirvana for trying to release a boxed set of the band’s greatest hits, claiming they were just after some fast cash:

Courtney Love, herself a musician and actor, is locked in an increasingly bitter struggle with Nirvana’s bassist, Krist Novoselic, and the drummer, Dave Grohl, for control of the band’s legacy.

The two men, who previously remained silent, have launched a vitriolic attack on Love, calling her an “irrational, self-centered and unpredictable” prima donna who is “appropriating” Cobain’s work to further her own career.

Love dismisses them as “sidemen” who contributed little to Nirvana’s success, and her lawyer claims they are looking for “quick bucks.”

When Cobain killed himself because, as he said, “I don’t have the passion anymore,” this is definitely where he saw himself in 14 years.

X17Online Apologizes to Tony Parker and Eva Longoria

Remember how last year X17Online ran with the story that Parker was fooling around on his new bride Longoria, but then it turned out to be a bunch of hooey? X17 finally fessed up. Here’s their statement, in its entirety:

In December 2007, X17online.com published over ten articles concerning Tony Parker and a woman named Alexandra Paressant. Various of the articles asserted that, after Mr. Parker was introduced to Ms. Paressant by Thierry Henry at this wedding to Eva Longoria, Mr. Parker engaged in sexual relations with Ms. Paressant. Since the publication of these articles, X17online.com and X17, Inc. have discovered that Mr. Parker has never met with, or spoken to, Ms. Paressant nor has he ever had sexual relations with her. X17online.com and X17, Inc. regret having been misled by Ms. Paressant and her representatives and apologize to Mr. Parker for any damage or inconvenience this may have caused him or his wife.

Confession is good for the soul. And so is avoiding a $20 million lawsuit! For what it’s worth, Deceiver’s own apology is here. (Note the date on it…) And here is Dana Kennedy’s detective work that blew the story wide open. Whaddaya call that, when you actually check facts and stuff? Oh yeah: Reporting.
