Love Target


"I guess I'm going to quit being a rock star. What do you want from me? An apron and an apple pie? I stayed home for five years. I haven't done heroin since 1996. I'm a good mother. I've done a good job." Courtney Love says she's being targeted by authorities because she's a "controversial rock star" and "the only female rock star who's a single mother." She did show up for her court appearance on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of illegal possession of two prescription painkillers--Vicodin and OxyContin--which were discovered while she was being treated for a drug overdose on October 2. That's a good mother for ya.


Our whole plan on calling the Jenny who would have won the eBay auction of 212-867-5309 was thwarted because of the FCC. Oh, well at least we still have a song:

Jenny Jenny who can I turn to
you give me something I can hold on to
now you think I'm like the others before
who saw you name and number on the wall

Jenny I got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
867-5309, 867-5309, 867-5309, 867-5309


Billy Corgan clears up some issues about The Smashing Pumpkin's demise and blames James Iha. "I am going to share some things with you that you have never heard me say," he wrote. "That doesn't mean I'm rewriting history; that means that I'm going to tell you the truth about who I am and what I believe in my heart. A lot of things that I have said thru the years seemed confusing, like I was hiding something, and oftentimes I was. 'Why,' you might ask. Many times I hid things to protect my band mates." He goes on to say that it was James Iha who broke up the band: The truth of the matter is that [guitarist] James Iha broke up the Smashing Pumpkins. Not me, not [drummer] Jimmy [Chamberlin], but James. Did it help that [bassist] D'arcy [Wretzky] was fired for being a mean-spirited drug addict, who refused to get help? No, that didn't help keep the band together, not at all." Billy Corgan is set to release a book of poetry in the fall. Remember what happened to Jewel, Corgan? That's such a durst move.

Chris Martin's guest spot on the Streets's new album gets axed and The Shins to appear on Gilmore Girls.


Mark the following under crazy co-worker: A South African farm laborer said his white employer strangled a former black employee, then held a gun to his head and forced him and two colleagues to throw his dismissed co-worker's lifeless body to lions. Workers at the Mokwalo White Lion Project on Sunday found a skull, a leg bone and some blood-soaked clothes, all that police say they think remains of Nelson Chisale, 38, a father of three.

The OC was on yesterday if you didn't know. We have been slack in our OC talks for weeks but last night's episode deserves a mention. The best part of the night was when Seth Cohen flopped like a fish with Summer (who we all assumed was a virgin but isn't - shocker!!) in the Cohen household. We find out from Sandy that the Cohen men are virile (too much information), Ryan can't trust Marissa like EVER, she cries of course (just like in all the past episodes) and Cohen scores again with Summer (slower this time). Next week: Lies, Sex and Videotape. Oh wait, that's on our agenda. Seriously, next week Julie Cooper & Luke gets busy. Is that the faint cop siren we hear in the background? Hooking up with your daughter's ex-boyfriend is a bad move but first-rate television programming.
