There was a moment — let’s say 1989, since that’s when I discovered her — when Courtney Love seemed like the solution to every girl’s problems. A brazenly feminist punk rocker with big hips and a sloppy grin, she was the first female celebrity in a long time who wasn’t embarrassed to take up space.Nussbaum's right! I've long specialized in approving of Love when others are out to get her. Read my old posts:
Untitled. I regard Love's wild behavior on the Letterman show as an actor's performance, playing a character, and quote what she says about judges: "The thing about judges that's cool is they're a lot like rock stars. They just get their own damn way."
"About a girl." I tell you to leave her alone, as she attends "American Idol" with her beautiful daughter.
"Courtney and the Pamela Anderson Roast." Again I defend a wild performance that other people trash: "So the show was utter crapola but somehow everyone wrote about Courtney, because apparently it's so fun to attack her. Interestingly enough, it turned out that Courtney had the best control over how to do a celebrity roast right. Everyone was holding a drink and badly faking high spirits, but she outdid them all, convincingly displaying a roasty attitude. When it was her turn to speak, she did her part perfectly. She played the rocker who deigned to stop by to give Pamela real rock cred because she loved her. She did her lines and her moves and then she kissed Anderson's high-heeled foot. Well played, Courtney! Chez Althouse, we love you!"

Love is a sad and empty woman, as are most celebrities.
Love is irrelevant, as are most celebrities.
We will always have freaks among us.
Courtney makes me sad. Like Madonna, I used to really like her. They both just seem like camera chasers now.
You (rhetorical) go watch Courtney in the Larry Flint movie and in the Andy Kaufman movie (starring Jim Carrey) and then try to convince me she's a toad.
She may be one in her personal life, and certainly her music sucks, but that girl can act her ass off.
Here is a good shot of Courtney at work in the Andy Kaufman movie.
Needless to say, she impressed the heck out of me with her acting.
