Courtney Love is still as charming as ever. The Guardian is reporting that she plans to sue the makers of Guitar Hero for using Kurt Cobain’s likeness in the fifth installment of the mega-popular video game.
Guardian blogger Everett True blasted Love for allowing Cobain’s animated likeness to be used in GH5, enabling players to make a Cobain avatar lip sync to songs like “Dancing With Myself” and “You Give Love A Bad Name” (no pun apparently intended).
Love took to Twitter to drop about a dozen f-bombs and put the blame on her late husband’s bandmate:
She blames Cobain’s Guitar Hero appearance on greedy lawyers and Dave Grohl, the former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman. “You can ass-rape Dave,” she told True, “he was always a bad seed and is still riding the sh*t while I take bullets. If there’s a hell, he’s going. I’m not.”
But for now, Love plans to head to the courts. “We are going to sue the sh*t out of Activision; ‘we’ being the Trust, the Estate, the LLC, the various LLCs, Cobain Enterprises … For the record, this Guitar Hero sh*t is breach of contract on a bully’s part and there will be a proper addressing of this and retraction.”
Dave Grohl’s publicist immediately called shenanigans on that, pointing out that “Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, the two surviving members of Nirvana, have no say whatsoever in the usage of Kurt Cobain’s likeness.”
And interestingly enough, Activision says that not only did they have Love’s permission, but she even got to choose what Cobain was wearing:
The Guitar Hero developers said that it was “great to work with [Love]“. “Courtney supplied us with photos and videos,” said Activision vice president Tim Riley. “She picked the wardrobe and hairstyle, which turned out to be the ‘Teen Spirit’ look, then we went back and forth over changes – some subtle, some not so subtle … [She wanted a] sort of athletic definition but not overly so.”
Courtney Love seems to enjoy playing the victim but with a track record like hers, she doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt here.

“And for a limited time only, it comes with two limited addition sho-” Nah.
Sorry, “edition”.
This is your brain on drugs, kids.
Seriously. Forget D.A.R.E. and all those “Parents: the antidrug” campaigns, a simple Courtney slideshow would scare more kids onto the straight and narrow than an army of shoulderpadded Nancy Reagans.
Awwww, she’s just mad that Activsion wouldn’t even consider putting any Hole songs in the line-up. Poor druggie.
Well, hey, c’mon! SOMEONE has to pay for her drugs! I’m sure she’s run through all of Kurt’s money by now!
Gah!! My eyes, my eyes!!!!!
Love probably doesn’t remember collaborating with Activision. And what is she wearing? That is just a layer cake of ugly.
Good lord, it’s like someone turned over a rock outside a Wild West whorehouse.
Hey, isn’t it fortuitous (for Courtney, that is) that Kurt was the one who “took [a] bullet”? Because she gets to ride his moldering coattails for the rest of her life. Had things been reversed, she’d have had virtually no vestigial fame to loan her poor, devastated, smack-taking widower.
She’s spent the past fifteen years proving that her sole talent is making just about anybody else look good.
Personally, I like Bon Jovi and Billy Idol a helluva lot more than Nirvana…
I hope Activision has proof… that would make my day to watch them bitchslap her.
Activision 60, Courtney love. Game, set, match.
Wow. Almost as sad as Michael Jackson. But then…really not exactly nearly as sad, sick: just
opinioned.
God rest you, sir.
Anytime she get press for ANYTHING, all I can think is, “her poor daughter….”
It’s kind of sad really isn’t it? She’s so desperate to whine about Dave Grohl and tell everyone how hard-done by she is that she cannot resist a chance. If she did work with the game company, there will be a record, and it will be made public, and she will once again look unstable and loopy.
She did have a career once, but you could throw bricks in a crowded room without hitting someone who could say what she has done on any value in the last few years.
So “taking bullets” is a descriptive term for ingesting massive quantities of drugs in between bouts of plastic surgery, losing custody of her child, and vandalizing other people’s property, all the while cashing checks earned by the husband she, at the very least, drove to suicide?
“She did have a career once.” Like that last girlfriend in Spinal Tap? Like Nancy “What about the farewell drugs?” Spungeon?
When I was a little chubby riot girl, excuse me, riot grrrl, I loved her.
I feel dirty and ashamed.
I love that, as rambling and ridiculous as she sounds here, she’s still much more coherent than she usually is on her Tweets/Facebook. Most likely because this involves a large sum of money.
LOL Crow Jane, me too. X-D
Poor thing, her dad’s right, she really does have mental problems. I guess that’s what happens when hippie parents (allegedly) give their kids LSD.
I hope that Courtney will very soon realize that the broken-dolly look doesn’t translate well after you’re 40.
Does she look kind of gangly to you? I think that’s the word I was searching for: “gangly.”
Yeah. That’s it.
Courtney Harrison is a low-life trash…y’all know her real name, right? Courtney Harrison. Lock her in the same room with Heather Mills, toss a successful (preferably, very rich) rock-star in the middle, watch two talentless obnoxious vile c***s rip each other to shreds.
NATI! Where you been, woman?
And yes, you’re right.
The word that leapt to my mind was “wormy”. But “gangly” works too.
My comment didn’t go through…weird…I was trying to say hi to Beige…Hi, Beige, I missed you
I wonder if this one goes through…
