According to New York Magazine, Courtney Love leaves the tags on her $7,800 Bergdorf Goodman dress so that she can return it the next day. That’s an interesting way to remain chic through the recession. Guess the songstess has never heard of RentTheRunway.com.

“I DO MORE IN A YEAR THAN YOU DO IN TEN! I’M MORE INVOLVED IN FASHION THAN YOU EVER FUCKING WILL BE IN YOUR LIFE!” – Sharon Stone’s response to an uninterested Anna Wintour according to the ever honest Courtney Love.

Courtney Love smokes, squats, and bares it all!

I’m all for grunge, but Roberto Cavalli’s take on the whole trend is a bit too gaudy for my liking. Style.com hit it right on the head, comparing the Just Cavalli’s Spring 2010 collection Courtney Love, circa the 1990s. While there were some cute vintage-esqe pieces, I’m getting a little bored of the poorly “destroyed,” seemingly DIY sweaters and thrashed denim.

Thanks Style!

Courtney Love gave an exclusive performance to a bunch of Alexander Wang groupies at Gas Station (the gas station under the highline at 14th). It was amazing.

Walking home in the pouring rain, sans an umbrella, resulted in quite a few things: sopping stilettos, disgustingly uncomfortable leather and smeared makeup. Though I spent quite some time ironing, blow drying and wiping my rained upon items, I didn’t dare touch my smeared makeup before going out for the night. Though the editorial images posted are definitely exaggerated, I really dig the look of smeared eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow and lipstick. I recommend choosing one area of the face to smear to avoid looking like Courtney Love, your safest bet being the eyes (smear subtly enough and it will look like a slightly coked out smokey eye!) If your looking for a more dramatic smeared look, spray/splash water on regular (not waterproof) eye-makeup and allow to drip and dry down your face. Make sure you re-line and apply mascara to your eyes for a bolder look. The best part about this trend? Humidity only makes it better!

And we thought Amy Winehouse was bad…Courtney Love looks like she’s been putting a little less food, and a bit more of something else in her body.  She’d be well hidden if it weren’t for that awful cutoff tshirt and slew of tangled necklaces.

While it’s pretty awesome that DJ Atrak is playing cover star on the latest issue of Status Magazine, what intrigues me more is the “Indie-prenurial” coverage of Nylon editor Marvin Scott Jarett. While I’m not the biggest fan of the editor, I’m curious to see if he has any answers for why he featured Lindsay “Unhirable” Lohan on the cover of their 10 year anniversary issue.

Seriously dude. She’s about as intersting as chronic foot pain caused by gout. I would have been more inclined to pick that shit up if Courtney Love (aka Older Lindsay) was on the cover. At least she’s far to drugged up to monitor her comments and the interview would have been interesting. I tried reading that issue during a bowel movement and for the first time ever I felt the need to cut and run.

Anyways, if anyone can send me a copy of this magazine, I’m hoping the “indie” editor can redeem himself.

Rumor has it that Marc will be bringing both Courtney and Madonna to the Met Ball, which means that Lorenzo might be left behind?!? Otherwise, that might make for a very strange foursome…

Hedi Slimane is quickly becoming the in Meisel. Celebrities are flocking to him to get their snapshots and the results are some racy little NSFW picts of some of America’s most controversial stars. Courtney Love gets the treatment in a couple of candid black and whites.

Courtney Love is suddenly everywhere again!

Here she is leaving a London club Tuesday night, doing her best Stevie Nicks.

What’s that saying about taking off one thing before you leave the house?  And can we multiply that?

One of these is Madonna last year, one is Courtney Love on Monday.

Who’s who in this match-up of low-cut, permed, toothy, plasticky goodness?!

Illustrator Faye West is the latest artist to join the Topshop T-shirt brigade, illustrating the above t-shirt of Courtney Love’s face. Available for $40. 

 Courtney’s expression says it all!

The fabulous 44-year-old traipsed around Malibu Sunday in the above get-up.

Part Moulin Rogue, part old-school Madonna, all Courtney Love.

At least she looks moderately healthy!

Step number one in raising a mature and sophisticated daughter is to disallow her from idolizing the ex-rock musician Courtney Love. If you couldn’t already tell by looking at the images above, Courtney Love basically defines “bad role model.” Not only will she teach your precious little Susie that it’s okay to take her top off on national television, dye her hair disgusting vomit-esque colors, appear drunk and unstable at the VMAs and have sexual relations with herpes infected men, she will also make Susie think anorexia is the cool thing to do with her upcoming shot in Elle UK January 2009. Oh, and to put the cherry on top of her little drugged up life, it seems as if Courtney Love prides herself on “[setting] the stage for Britney Spears.” Is that really what you want people to think…that you inspired Britney Spears to shave her head, load on the weight and completely fail as a responsible mother? As Love says in the next issue of Elle UK:

“I had a long, hard fall. I set the stage for Britney to crash and burn. I went through it all first.”

That’s basically like saying Love made “the shit show” look cool. Negative. Love made the shit show even shittier. 

Thanks Popcrunch!

Peaches Geldof’s hero Courtney Love graces the January 2009 issue of Elle UK.

“Most people who know me know I don’t follow fashion. I mean, I just dyed the tips of my hair black for God’s sake. I hate stars who look totally overstyled, like Victoria Beckham; give me Courtney Love, with her babydoll nighties and ripped fishnet tights, any day. For me, fashion is about pushing boundaries. Vivienne Westwood once told me that people who aren’t creative or have no love for art don’t dress up, I asked her why people should and she replied simply, ‘Because it’s fun.’ Sage advice.”

- Peaches on why Victoria Beckham sucks and Courtney Love rules…
