Courtney Love Channels Angelina Jolie's Look from 'The Changeling,' Adds Heaping Helping of Crazy

Triple-digit temperatures can drive a woman to do nutty things, but in the case of Courtney Love, it's not a very long drive. Inspired, perhaps, by the 1920s wardrobe worn by Angelina Jolie in Clint Eastwood's upcoming The Changeling, the skeletal Hole singer rang in the weekend by swanning through Malibu dressed up as a ghost flapper. Said the concerned Daily Mail:

The singer's deathly pale skin drew gasps as she stepped out for a shopping trip in Malibu in a 1920s see-through lace dress, as did her painfully thin frame.

Courtney Love Planning Move To Eccentric-Friendly England

Mono-polared rock legend Courtney Love recently fought back against TMZ, who, working in collusion with the Anaheim Police Department, attempted to paint the singer as being a few babydoll-dresses short of a full wardrobe when she claimed white-collar criminals had bilked the Cobain estate of nearly $70 million. (The fighting-back consisted of several angry MySpace blog posts, in which she notably dropped the trademarked pidgin English that made every visit such an indecipherable good time.) Now, reports the Daily Mail, Love has decided to quit America's quick-to-diagnose shores for England's far more tolerant, let's-wait-until-she- kills-someone- before-we-really- start-throwing -around-words-like-"crazy" embrace:

"I am fed up with Los Angeles. It's dirty and full of crazy people. I want a complete lifestyle change. People criticise Britain but it is still a cleaner, safer place to live than Hollywood," she said. [...]

Courtney Love Sets Record Straight On Exactly How Crazy She Is

Rocker/delusionist Courtney Love, has, according to the Sun, filed a report with the Van Nuys police department in which she claims to have been the victim of a massive identity theft operation. Among her allegations: That the thieves opened 188 credit cards (one for every voice in her head!) in her name, bilked Francis Bean's trust fund of $69 million, and purchased a $3.2 million home in New Brunswick using Kurt Cobain's social security number. TMZ did some sniffing, and found that the police had dismissed the case as imagined, and that Love had been "diagnosed with bipolar disorder." Which brings us to this response on her MySpace blog, where some of the most exciting advancements in the realm of post-linguistic lunatic theory are being made:

God people are batshit. And im not the one who is.

The Breakout Star Of Sundance 2008 Is ... Steve Coogan?

Courtney Love Sees A Lot Of Her Young Self In Scarlett Johansson

Outspoken proponent of 5150-hold survivors' rights Courtney Love has, according to NME.com, settled on the two actors she think could most accurately bring her tumultuous marriage to life in a movie version of Kurt Cobain biography Heavier Than Heaven. In the part of her Tormented Musical Genius and Voice of a Generation husband, she wisely, if rather safely, elected Ryan Gosling, who in Half Nelson proved how effectively he can crawl into the skin of a barely functioning but brilliant drug addict, and, in Lars and the Real Girl, made it somehow believable that someone could fall in love with a mostly-plastic spouse that required constant propping.

Angry Birds, Crazy Widows, And BFFs

· Naomi Watts is on board to star in Universal's remake of The Birds, which, thankfully, the studio isn't rushing into production, allowing time for a possible rewrite of the script still in development that could further address the avian-backstory problems they've previously identified in the Hitchcock original. [Variety]
· While Hollywood eagerly awaits the results of the WGA's strike authorization vote, writers and studios won't resume their tug of war over a giant pencil until Monday morning. [THR]

Steve Coogan Finally Gets His Breakthrough Moment As Owen Wilson's Enabler

At the height of Owen Wilson's very public personal crisis, Courtney Love uncharacteristically offered up her own, highly opinionated views on the topic—suicide and hard drugs being two subjects that run, pun only partially intended, deeply in her veins. Suspecting she knew exactly who and what led Wilson to his act of desperation, the singer told Us magazine that the culprit was Steve Coogan: A far bigger star in the U.K. than in the U.S., Coogan gained fame overseas for his TV portrayal of dim-bulbed newsman Alan Partridge. (In this clip, he fittingly admits he has no idea who Kurt Cobain is, and is baffled over why he might have taken his own life.) Coogan and Love had a brief affair, which was rumored to have caused a pregnancy, but that thankfully produced no illegitimate children—between Love's body dysmorphia and Coogan's English dental genes, the kid never stood a chance.

Courtney Love Rocking The Look Of Troubled Famous People Twenty Years Her Junior

Forgive our naivete, but by this point we thought Courtney Love was about as messed up as she could possibly get. But the campers at Dysfunction Junction have welcomed her back with open arms, as she's mysteriously dropped more than 50 pounds and now looks like a refugee from the flesh-melting climactic scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. London's Daily Mail has bravely gone out on a limb and decided her attitude about the emaciation is suspect:

Love denied reports gastric bypass surgery and liposuction aided her initial transformation, but she caused controversy recently by making light of her painfully thin appearance.
