Courtney Love to Sell Kurt Cobain's Possessions
News
Finally free from the chains of the law, it appears that Courtney Love, former Hole frontwoman and once drug-addledwife of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, has chosen to shed a layer of celebrity skin whilst creating a little closet space by ridding of her former husband's belongings. "I'm going to have a Christie's auction," Love told Spinner.com. "[My house] is like a mausoleum. My daughter [14-year-old Frances Bean] doesn't need to inherit a giant Hefty bag full of flannel fucking shirts... A sweater, a guitar, and the lyrics to 'Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just fucking sell."
Although the auction appears to be the latest treatment of the Cobain and Nirvana legacies to infuriate fans and former band mates Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, Love claims to have supporters: "Everyone's been positive and behind me on it," Love told Spinner.com. "We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity." Furthermore, Love confirms that despite the imminent sell-off, she's still attached to Cobain in, er, one way or another. "I still wear his pajamas to bed. How am I ever going to form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?"

This is the kind of situation that comes along and challenges you to think, "Why should I be nice now when in death I'll be disrespected and exploited even more than I was while I was alive?"?
At this point, no one is going to feel like Courtney is making any right decisions on what to do about Kurdt's legacy, while those around her that say they are supportive of her may just be scared to tell her "No Courtney, that wouldn't be a good idea, think of not just Kurdt's family but his true friends and fans also". They're probably scared she would cut off their finances.

Poor Frances Bean. She'll never see a dime of this and she'll hate her mother forever for selling this stuff. It's amazing how one person can screw things up for Cobain's friends and family. I'd be pissed.

Good for her to let that **** go, bout time. Moving forwards is a good thing and **** em all if they cant understand her motivations. She always has been and always will be a controversial woman so suck it up, fact is its no ones business or place to question her motives.
