Moving leagues beyond the point of absurdity, it has become scientific law that if something bizarre happens in the spheres of movies, television, music or fashion, Courtney Love is at least tangentially involved. Love appears to be everywhere at once, leaving scandals great and small in her trouble-making wake. Recounting them all would fill several dense volumes, but recounting the incidences of the past month alone should adequately convey the soundness of what I like to call “Courtney’s Law”.
Mid-September: Fashion designer Marc Jacob’s boyfriend Jason Preston shows up to an event wearing a dead mouse as a brooch. Preston reportedly claims he can’t remove the brooch, as it was a gift from Courtney Love.
September 11: Sharon Osbourne reveals Love introduced her son Jack to OxyContin, and that she has no intention of ever talking to her again.
September 1: Love tells the press that she’s “never seen anyone take as much coke as Amy [Winehouse].” Love also asserts Winehouse uses a dangerous speedball of cocaine and heroin.
August 29: Love blames British comedian Steve Coogan for accelerating Owen Wilson’s drug use in the period leading up to Wilson’s suicide attempt.
August 13: Love gets naked (yet again) for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar. A great swath of heterosexual men are temporarily left without functioning libidos.
You can’t throw a crack rock in Hollywood without hitting Courtney Love. She’s like an exponentially more destructive Kevin Bacon.
