I hate it when people steal my dollards.

And how nice that she refers to him as "a former guitar player" after all Eric has done for her and all those years he stood by her. It's amazing how shitty she treats everyone she knows. She really is a horrible, horrible person.

Agreed. I've always thought Eric must have the patience of a saint for putting up with her for all those years. Also, he's never trashed her in the press, even though you know that after a decade of touring with CL, he must have tons of dirt.

I can't believe I'm defending Courtney here, but I would have to argue that Hole would not have been a success without her. The best thing about them were the lyrics and her wacko personality driving the band and the publicity machine. Nobody would've given a shit about Eric Erlandson's Hole. With that said, I don't believe that all these people stole money from her (or Kurt's trust for Frances). The amounts she's claimed people have stolen from her, collectively, over the years, probably add up to way more money than both she and Kurt made collectively. Then add her wild spending on fashion and drugs and probably lawyers, and there is no way she can have much money left.

Nobody's saying Courtney's not vital to Hole, just that Eric is too. Without Eric, she's a solo artist, and she should not have marketed "Nobody's Daughter" using the name Hole when it was really just another one of her solo albums.

Courtney has finally been sued for the shit she spews on Twitter[/color].

[O]n March 17, 2009, Love took to her Twitter account and began hurling a stream of shocking insults at the designer known as the "Boudoir Queen." Love's tweets, which instantly landed in the Twitter feeds of her 40,000 or so followers (and countless others via retweets), announced that Simorangkir was a drug-pushing prostitute with a history of assault and battery who lost custody of her own child and capitalized on Love's fame before stealing from her. "She has received a VAST amount of money from me over 40,000 dollars and I do not make people famous and get raped TOO!" Love wrote.

That tirade, along with others the Hole frontwoman unleashed on social media platforms including MySpace and Etsy.com during the next four days, form the basis of a groundbreaking lawsuit headed to court in Los Angeles on January 18: the first high-profile defamation trial over a celebrity's comments on Twitter.

This is going to be interesting.

Wouldn't this designer have to prove that her image and reputation have been damaged in some way and that she has lost business due to Courtney's rants? I don't see that happening, but good on her for trying to shut the bitch up anyway. No doubt Courtney's lawyers will use the "she's craaazzzy" defense.

According to her tumblr, she has just purchased a former girl's boarding school in England as her new home, and she's dating Michael Pitt. W.T.F. What the hell do guys see in her? Is Pitt maybe just obsessed with Kurt Cobain after starring in Last Days and this is the closest thing to being his buddy?

Oh, and she's still selling her shit on ebay. Apparently people are willing to bid on her old satin slips, complete with stains and cigarette burns!

That's Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, NY, best known as the place Chelsea Clinton got married. I think Courtney meant somebody she went to boarding school with helped her get the place. I still don't know how she can afford any of this stuff.

Oh, wow, really? I just assumed it was in England because of the boarding school comment and also I read that she was living in the UK. I'm with you, how in the hell can she afford any of this? I thought she had basically blown through Kurt and Frances's money (I'm sorry, other people "stole" it from her ).
