Love her or execrate her, the opinionated, brutally straightforward, and ostensibly always controversial Courtney Love is one of the almost noteworthy figures in alternative rock candy. Born on July 9, 1964 in San Francisco, CA, Love was raised in Oregon. As a teen, Love began hearing to new wave and punk, musical styles that would influence her band Hole. After traveling to countries like Ireland, Japan, and England, Love touched to Los Angeles, CA. In 1986, Love appeared as Nancy Spungen's best friend in Sid and Nancy, music director Alex Cox's plastic film just about Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his lover Spungen. Love was too cast in Cox's Straight to Hell. Neither photo brought Love the stardom that she desired. Love and then resettled to Minneapolis, MN, and formed the all-female post-punk mathematical group Babes in Toyland with Kat Bjelland. Bjelland eventually tossed her out of the band. After working as a stripper in Alaska, Love returned to Los Angeles and started Hole in 1989 with Eric Erlandson (guitar), Jill Emery (bass voice), and Caroline Rue (drums). Hole released their debut record album, Pretty on the Inside, in 1991. A year later, Love matrimonial Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Rumors of drug function between the two began surfacing in the weight-lift, and a Vanity Press article revealed that Love was exploitation heroin spell she was pregnant with their daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. In April 1994, Kurt Cobain committed self-destruction; iI months later on, modern Hole bassist Kristen M. Pfaff died from a heroin overdose. Although it was recorded earlier those personal tragedies, Hole's second album, the ironically titled Live Through This, captured the searing pain sensation and crimson ire of person undergoing a tragical loss. Rumors persisted that Cobain co-wrote a prominent part of the album, a title that Love vehemently denied contempt claims to the perverse by many of Cobain's closest friends. No concrete evidence was ever released to back those claims, and she retained a semipro relationship with his former bandmates by formering a partnership with them called Nirvana L.L.C. The system would control all Nirvana related releases and assay and protect the interests of the three parties, but strife between Love and the pillow of the band developed through nasty weight-lift comments made by both sides. Meanwhile, Hole released Celebrity Skin in 1998, merely the album came nowhere cheeseparing the popularity of her premature elbow grease. Despite the band's best promotional efforts (which Courtney dove headfirst into, as always), sales were discouraging sufficiency for band members to start dropping off, fundamentally dissolution the chemical group spell her playacting career was taking off. In 1999, Love was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in the moving-picture show The People Vs. Larry Flynt. She would stay relatively quiet for a few long time, making a few picture show appearances and line-shooting up diverse projects with Louise Post and Kat Bjelland that never surfaced. But when former Nirvana members Kris Novoselic and Dave Grohl announced a 45 song Nirvana retrospective that would include iI never released tracks, Love immediately brought them to court in an try to wrestle away the rights to the material. Manager/boyfriend Paul Barber well-tried to become the peacekeeper in the state of affairs, even screening up to the studio apartment for the mixdown of one of the unreleased songs. But Love moved to dissolve Nirvana L.L.C. and managed to catch the acquittance of the album until the matter could be brought to court. The box fix was aborted and the ternion individuals began to plug the approaching court hearings like a boxing match, inviting the weigh out and qualification shrill barbs at one some other in interviews. She announced her intentions to spearhead a Nirvana "superlative hits" album a la the Beatles' #1's, and claimed that she had hundreds of family tapes to go through and a journal that she plotted on publication. Love besides began to speak taboo on musician's rights, suing her record ship's company and bringing to light unjust stage business practices on the part of the industriousness. She began qualification her interviews and speeches platforms for her newfound causa, and created quite a stir at the South by Southwest Conference in the springiness of 2002 when she directly announced her intentions of starting a music-industry revolution. All that was approaching, however (beside more case publicity), was a solo album, 2004's America's Sweetheart, released on Virgin.

Desperate Housewives - Sheridan Credits Grandmother With Bolton Matchmaking

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN rekindled her relationship with MICHAEL BOLTON because her grandmother convinced her he was the right man for her.

The actress dated the singer for five years from 1992, before splitting up. They got back together in 2006, and subsequently got engaged.

And Sheridan believes her late grandmother played a crucial role in convincing her to date Bolton once more.

She says, "My dear grandmother, whom I called Nanny, recognised the love we had for one another and, during the time we were apart, she could never resist saying, 'Have you spoken to Michael? He does love you, you know'.

"By the time we got back together, Nanny had died, but maybe she was part of the universe conspiring. And I do sort of believe that. I must say, the way things went down and the fact that this was what she always wanted does make me sort of believe that she had a hand in it."

Amy Winehouse arrested over drugs

LONDON --
Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of drugs possession, police and her spokesman said Wednesday.

Winehouse's spokesman, Chris Goodman, said the arrest is connected to a video that is alleged to show the troubled singer taking drugs at a party in her home in north London.

Britain's The Sun tabloid in January published still images from a video that it claimed showed Winehouse inhaling fumes from a small pipe. The images were said to have been filmed during a party at her London home.

London's Metropolitan Police said a 24-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of drugs possession. Goodman confirmed his client was in police custody.

"Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is cooperating fully with inquiries," Goodman said in a statement.

"The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year," he said.

Winehouse is famous for her hit "Rehab." She has had a turbulent private life. Last month she was cautioned by police for assault after she slapped a man during a night out. That means no charges were filed, but the incident was placed on her record.

Shortly after The Sun published still photographs of the video, Winehouse entered a London rehabilitation center.
