Courtney Love to have Steve Coogan's baby

[gazzyk1ns]

Yeah, obviously it was a bit of a jokey post. I didn't know she partially grew up in Europe, though.

This story isn't that surprising.

Aw come on! It's about as surprising as you're going to get! (cue hundreds of posts like "Well what about Summer from Neighbours having Osama Bin Laden's child?").

[TraceyQ]

not particularly safe for work


What did you do, Steve?

[alan strang]

Stop the press! Patti Smith is knocking off David Walliams, apparently.

Well, true I was surprised by it, but relatively speaking I don't see why it wouldn't happen, they're both pretty big celebrities (Coogan isn't well known to the masses in the US at the moment but he's a hot new name, with movies in the pipeline with the likes of Kirsten Dunst and Ben Stiller. Also, Courtney Love probably saw him in 24 Hour Party People. She may just seem like a stupid old rock trout but she knows a hell of a lot about British music and it wouldn't surprise me if she checked out that flick and "liked what she saw")

Plus they're both kinky drug addicts.

If you click on the link that's on that page, Lalla, you should see the lovely pic of Courtney showing her pants.

'That Courtney Love could sing The White Cliffs of Dover and still smother it in a kind of vague sexual menace...'

When did she become a ridicule-figure, our of interest?

# It's... my... fucking... rug...

[lazyhour]

Yeah, she'd certainly lost it by the time the song about the rug came out.  I blame Joanna Newsom, myself.

Ahh, jokes for about 7 people, there.

When she started acting all drunk and vulgar and showing her fanny

Basically, stuff that she could get away with if she was a male rock star (substitute fanny for penis)

[bithez]

probably started when, some time in the early 90s,  she said she used heroin while pregnant. she was already seen as a bit of a spungen-ono by nirvana fans, especially the ones who wanted to marry kurt.

after cobain's death her public life was one disaster after another. "celebrity skin" was a bit of a comeback, but it was scuppered by billy corgan claiming he wrote it. i think the "america's sweetheart" album was the last nail in her PR coffin. anything after that was just soil thrown on the lid.

There's also the fact that most people aren't really sure what she does. She's in the papers falling out ot taxis, but 'Celebrity Skin' was the only song of hers to hit the public ear in the past god-knows-how-many years. To most people she's still Mrs Kurt Cobain.

Eh? I dont get it. You have intrigued me now.

"You toilet!"

:-D

Ah, the rug thing was never properly resolved...

[lazyhour]

Heheh  :)

It is a reference to "the internet radio station which must never be mentioned."  Some say it's cursed...

[Banana Woofwoof]

One of my favourite things from that thing ever!  And Fake Morrissey, which my old workmate used to ask me to ring Darrell in work to do down the phone because it made her sort of combust...

[Pinball]

So, assuming the baby isn't aborted, and it's male, will it be called Alan or Steve? ;-)

I don't know if those names really suit a crackbaby.

[Waking Life]

I can't imagine what this kid will emerge as.

[Sadness]

Courtney Coogan makes me laugh for no real reason!!

Wouldn't put it past Old Coogs. He loves his music and drugs. Anybody who thinks that there was NO cocaine involved in the making of "I'M Alan Partridge 2" (I.E The James Bond episode) is deluding themselves or has never taken it. If he'd have given a piss sample after said episode he would've been "Holed" up with old trout mask replica herself.....!

All very sad really.

[Godzilla Bankrolls]

Both Coogan and Love have, according to legend, made lists of people that if socialised with, would help further their careers. I somehow doubt Coogan was on Love's list, or vice versa, though.

[The Culture Bunker]

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.

Although it should be said that St Julian himself denies this. As did his one time guitarist Mike Mooney, with whom Ms Love claimed she lost her virginity. Can't be good for your confidence, that.

[Captain Crunch]

And that time she 'turned' the keyboard player from Faith No More...

[A Passing Turk Slipper]

Love also claims she lost her virginity to Joe Strummer. In conclusion: she's full of shit.

Well whaddyaknow, it's not true:

[aaaaaaaaaargh!]

God, the non-stop partying is taking its toll, isn't it?  That or rutting with Courtney Love saps the life force out of you.  You can't really tell he's only 39 in that picture - he looks about 10 years older

[TraceyQ]

Maybe it is true. Maybe her abortion is already arranged and he's going to come out of it all looking like the innocent party while everyone points the finger at her for being off her box on painkillers again.

[alan strang]

But The Sun has since contradicted the story, reporting that Around the World in 80 Days actor Coogan was "astonished" by the "ridiculous" claim.

He's no good at writing this stuff. That's why Iannucci and Baynham usually do the honours.

I skim-read The Sun in a cafe earlier - they ran two stories about all this. One was the "astonished" denial mentioned above, the other was a big full-page affair (evidently completed before the other was wired through) which featured a Photoshop mock-up of the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind with elements of Coogan and Love's face added to the baby.

[Mister Cairo]

I don`t know who is less trustworthy, the News of the World or an unnamed "spokeswoman".

The Sun say it`s crap, so I`ll go withit being true. Surprised to find two Murdoch organsd dissing each other.
