Courtney Love to have Steve Coogan's baby

[Bert Thung]

According to The News of The World

I can barely believe it either. On past records, could that child ask for more grounded, stable parentage?

EXCLUSIVE:Wild girl Courtney reveals shock truth about her drug-fuelled Coogan sex fling

I'm having Love child with Alan Partridge

By Carole Aye Maung

WILD woman of rock Courtney Love sensationally revealed last night that she is pregnant by Alan Partridge star Steve Coogan.

Approached in Los Angeles by the News of the World, she confirmed: "Yes, I am pregnant with Steve's baby."

Courtney, widow of Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain, discovered her shock news just three days ago through a home pregnancy kit.

The baby was conceived during her two-week, drug-fuelled sex fling with British comedian Coogan in LA when they were both staying at the famous Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood.

Courtney told us: "I'd rather not talk about our relationship."

But we can reveal Coogan's demands in the bedroom were a world away from the stuffy antics of his blazer-wearing spoof chat show host.

Courtney told her friend: "It was literally non-stop sex. Steve is a f***ing sex addict and has a major substance problem.

Normal

"He even asked me to get ten Viagra pills for him so that he could keep going, despite the fact he was past the point of exhaustion.

"When I was with Steve, I did things that I shouldn't have done. I passed the line of what even I think is normal."

Courtney's friend told us: "Another time Courtney said he wanted to get a hooker.

"She told him she was too old for that. But Courtney told me, 'That's his thing'.

Tatters

"He got a whole load of paraphernalia from the Hustler store up the road from their hotel.

"She also told me Steve talked her into doing something unsafe and said, 'If he's given me anything, I swear to God, I'm going to cut his d*** off!'"

Rock chick Courtney is also worried her street cred could be in tatters for dating Alan Partridge.

She told her pal: "Tell me honestly...what does it make me look like that I slept with Alan Partridge?

"Given the grade A stars I've dated it's embarrassing. I mean...Alan Partridge!"

Courtney, who has a daughter of 11, Frances Bean, by Cobain, is dealing with the fall-out from the torrid fling while she is in rehab.

She was sent there by a court after breaching probation for an assault charge. She must avoid drugs, produce four urine samples a week to prove she is off them and remain in a drug treatment programme.

But after one drug-fuelled night with Steve, during which she admitted taking cocaine, she produced a positive sample and was sentenced to a three-week stint at a rehab centre in Newport, California.

Courtney's pal added: "She told me, 'I'm not going to point fingers but, regarding this latest matter with the court, a certain person I've mentioned was around me at the time'.

"Courtney can't believe Steve hasn't felt in any small way responsible for what has happened to her in court."

The rocker is said to be furious with herself for allowing Coogan to talk her into unprotected sex.

The pal went on: "Steve laid all the lines on Courtney. She's such a fragile being at the moment and she believed every word he said.

"He told her how special she was to him and that he wanted her to come with him to visit his grandmother in Cork.

"He admitted seeing seven other women as well as Courtney but he told her he wasn't in love with any of them—he was falling in love with her."

But now Courtney just feels her life is in turmoil over her pregnancy.

She told her pal: "This couldn't have come at a worse time for me."

The friend added: "She hasn't made any decisions about whether she should keep the baby or not.

"Coutney is 41 and this might be the last time she gets to have another child."

Dad-of-one Coogan, 39, was divorced by wife Caroline last month after he romped with lap-dancers. Aha!

Courtney Love isn't exactly known for her adherence to the truth...

[Pepotamo1985]

This is her recently, apparently. All fat an everything. During the mid 90s, when Cobain's cheques started coming through, she was quite the stunner.

"Fernando, Denise, meet your sister Codeine."

[lazyhour]

Am I the only one who just reads the subheadings on these stories and dismisses the rest?

Normal Tatters.

[thedaviduk]

its quite depressing when one of the comedians that so many people including me admire, in the end sounds like some junkie loser

[chand]

Heh, you know you've made it as a celebrity whore when you find yourself fucking Courtney Love on drugs.

[Malcontente]

He's been like this for years, though, hasn't he? I seem to remember a story in FHM or something when IAP started featuring him talking about his sex addiction...

[ajsmith]

I can hardly beleive the veracity of this. I mean it's the "The News of the world" isn't it???
And Coutney's always looked like she does in that photo, she she just slaps on the war paint and soft focus when a new album appears. She's "Pretty on the inside" don't ya know!

[mwude]

But we can reveal Coogan's demands in the bedroom were blah blah blah...

Wow!  I've been living under a rock for the last ten years and this revelation that Steve Coogan apparently enjoys kinky sex and drugs has really come as something of a shock.

[Hypnotoad.]

She also told me Steve talked her into doing something unsafe and said, 'If he's given me anything, I swear to God, I'm going to cut his d*** off!'"

Unsafe, even to these deviants? anyone care to speculate?

Injecting heroin into her arse perhaps? setting fire to her own face? the mind boggles

Hands up who thinks Courtney Love actually said the "omigod I'm dating Alan Partridge" line.  No fucker in America has a clue who Partridge is.  More likely to be: "I'm dating that bloke from Around The World In 80 Days.  No not Jackie Chan, the other one.  Whaddayamean, you've never seen it?!"

[El Unicornio, mang]

I wonder if she's seen the first series of IAP...

"Kurt Cobain, who's he?"
"Nirvana? Killed himself with a gun?"
"Why? Were they not very good?"
"They were great"
"Someone should have told him then!"

Perhaps...

"Omigod I'm dating Alan Partridge! You know - the funny guy from Coffee and Cigarettes, that Jarmusch movie. No! Not Bill Murray. Or Steven Wright. Or The RZA... or the GZA either. Or Benigni. Not Buscemi. Not Iggy Pop or Tom Waits! C'mon! He was in the scene with Alfred Molina... you know, Doc Ock! DOC OCK! Oh fuck it, I sucked off Ricky Gervais, OK? You know, that guy off Letterman..."

[All Surrogate]

More likely to be: "I'm dating that bloke from Around The World In 80 Days.  No not Jackie Chan, the other one."

Michael Palin?  And he seems like such a nice man ...

Can't she have an abortion? This is bizarre, I saw it linked to in GB and I honestly didn't believe it, I thought it was a spoof news site. I'm still having trouble. You just assume that Steve Coogan and Courtney love would be incapable of interacting with each other, they speak different languages and do different things. I can just imagine showing Love an episode of IAP and her sitting there confused, saying "What's with this British guy!?" Before she goes back to hanging around with people who sit around all day in the dark smoking and talking about the time they shared a bottle of JD with Nikki SIxx at the Rainbow.

[Godzilla Bankrolls]

Joking aside, it's got to be bullshit, hasn't it? Both are reknowned for being whorish celebs, and a relationship as mutually beneficial as this shoud really come as no surprise to those of us familiar with either's public life.

[R. Sparts]

That'll be Coogan then ;-)

[Hairy Chin]

'tis a very unlikely and peculiar pairing isn't it?

They used home-made chocolate mousse with raw egg whites in. She's just worried about salmonella.

[bomb_dog]

If someone had told me that my two main interests in the pre-Cobain shooting world - comedy and grunge music - were to collide in a messy shag in little over ten years time, then I wouldn't have believed it one jot.

Heres to Peter Kay getting Devin Townsends misses up the duff by 2017 then. Good odds, I'm told.

Well, Courtney Love lived in Liverpool for a few years back in the 80s when she was a stripper (she was also a groupie for all the indie bands of the time like Echo and the Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes). If she can understand scousers she can understand Steve Coogan.

This story isn't that surprising. I mean, look at Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin/Madonna and Guy Ritchie/Jennifer Love Hewitt and that crazy kid off Eastenders.

Although born in San Francisco, she did a fair bit of growing up in Europe, and spent her late teens early twenties in Liverpool, shagging Julian Cope.

Having said that, I do understand where you're coming from, but the culture gap probably isn't quite as big as you think.
