Buzz Bites — 9/16/2008: Miley Cyrus Is Maybe-Dating The ‘Love’ Of Taylor Swift’s Life!
+ Is Miley Cyrus really going out with a super-hot, much older male underwear model?? And is he really Taylor Swift’s former beau? Or is this all just one big ploy to make Nick Jonas jealous? If so, we can think of at least seven things wrong with that. (LAT) + After working it with Missy Elliott, the Pussycat Dolls learn how to put their thang down, flip it AND reverse it. (MTV) + Jack White describes what it was like to “Bond” with Alicia Keys. (Rolling Stone) + Amy Winehouse exposes

In the works: John Lennon, the movie; "The Strangers 2: Strangerer."
There've already been two recent films about his assassin, so it seems to be time to take on the considerable challenge of the man himself -- Turner Prize-nominated artist Sam Taylor-Wood will make her directorial debut with John Lennon biopic "Nowhere Boy," written by "Control" screenwriter Matt Greenhalgh and apparently focusing on his early life. Here's hoping that, like "Control," the film ends up with an unknown playing its subject. [Hollywood Reporter] Rogue Pictures is working on a sequel to "The S

Foo Fighter Dave Grohl & wife welcome second daughter, ‘Harper Willow’
As one of the original fans of Nirvana (R.I.P. Kurt Cobain), I’m well acquainted with Dave Grohl. Actually, not so much, but whenever I hear about him or see him in an interview, I always like him. He seems like a really funny, down-to-earth guy. A few years after Nirvana died with Kurt Cobain, Grohl started up Foo Fighters, this time with himself as the lead singer. After hanging tough with withering criticism that Foo Fighters were nowhere near as good as Nirvana, Grohl and his bandmates...

Frances Bean’s “Suicidal 16″ Party
Although Frances Bean Cobain’s father Kurt Cobain tragically killed himself when she was only two years old, 14 years later Frances decided to have a “Suicidal 16″ party for her Sweet 16. Frances held her “death of childhood” party at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, and the band Mindless Self Indulgence played. In an email Frances allegedly sent to her pals, the only child of Nirvana’s frontman commanded that guests “must be wearing black or red or you will not be allowed in.”

Frank Zappa: Frank Zappa’s wife on protecting Frank's legacy
With news of Courtney Love selling off everything related to Kurt Cobain, and the Presley family doing away with whatever credibility Elvis had left in the bank, it’s refreshing to read a story in the L.A. Times this weekend that profiled Gail Zappa, wife of the deceased Frank, and the incredible lengths she’s gone to keep Frank’s legacy pure.   "Let me say it in the simplest way," Gail Zappa said. "My job is to make sure that Frank Zappa has the last word in terms of a

Where Were You When You Heard That Kurt Cobain Died? [Here We Still Are Now]
This week marks the 15th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death in 1994. You could argue that Cobain's suicide was a generation of late-twentysomethings and early-thirtysomethings' version of the JFK assassination... and pretty much remained our defining cultural event until 9/11. So, we'd like to hear your stories. Share where you were, what you were doing and how you felt. Maura and I will start the ball rolling with our own anecdotes, as well as a few we gathered from members of Pelican, Throw Me...

IUC exclusive: Kurt Cobain RIP! 15 years later, is Courtney up to her old tricks?
15 years ago today, when Kurt Cobain’s body was found in a room above his garage, Courtney Love seized the moment. We know from tapes furnished by her own private detective that she and Kurt were already in the middle of a nasty divorce battle. We know that Kurt had contacted their entertainment attorney and asked that Courtney be removed from the will but that the new will had not yet been signed at the time of his death. We know that Courtney believed Kurt was cheating on her and that he...

The new model: Naked girls shill for Guitar Hero?
File this one under "best minute of viral marketing ever." A video surfaced on YouTube today called Naked Girls Get Interrupted . It stars four attractive ladies -- and a funny but unfortunate "interruption" from actor-model "Music Steve"  -- stripping off their clothes and strutting down a street in Los Angeles County. Censor bars obscure their private parts and display popular song titles. Surely this isn't what Kurt Cobain had in mind when he wrote...

Neighborhood Park Has Monument to Rocker Engraved With the '
The late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is igniting a new controversy in his hometown of Aberdeen, Wash. This one involves one of the quotes attributed to him on a new granite marker at an unofficial neighborhood park honoring him. Aberdeen city officials are upset about the quote that says, "Drugs are bad for you. They will f—- you up." The marker contains the full F-word. The Daily World reports the property is considered a right of way for both Tori Kovach, who lives adjacent to the land...

Comment: Where are all the gay indie musicians?
From Elton John to Will Young, pop music has had a long and often celebrated gay history. Stephen Gateley was sent flowers by the Spice Girls and Freddie Mercury sang 'We are the champions'. So, who are the guitar-wielding alternative acts championing their gay identity? Although many Young gay indie or alternative acts like Bradford Cox from Deerhunter cite Kurt Cobain in all his dress-wearing glory as an early inspiration, for the generation before, it was all about David Bowie. When Bowie...

Exclusive: Danny Goldberg sets the record straight.
We recently told you about the much anticipated book “Bumping into Geniuses”. The book by Danny Goldberg is an inside look into the rock and roll industry, and it’s key players. Much of the internet reports swirling around the book noted that one of his revealing submissions was that he blamed Courtney Love for the downfall of Nirvana. PerezRevenge.com has learned exclusively from Danny Goldberg that this is not the case. Danny reached out to us, to help set the record straight, here is

Courtney Love - Love Wrecks New York Hotel Room
Courtney Love is slipping back into her rock 'n' roll ways - she reportedly trashed a hotel room in a matter of hours. The former Hole singer descended on New York with her daughter by late rocker Kurt Cobain - Frances Bean - and stayed in swanky hotel The Inn on Irving Place. But playing mum seemingly didn't stop Love from expressing her wild side - after she caused more than $5,000 (

Courtney Love Starts Trash-Talking On Twitter!: PHOTO
Did Courtney Love 's Twitter page get hacked into? Or is she just being "typical Courtney"? Either way, her Tweets earlier this morning were HIGHlarious! Court basically had a hissy fit over what she considers to be fake and untalented female rockes. She went on to insult The Veronicas and Taylor Momsen while praising only a few, like Brody Dalle from Spinnerette . The Twitter craziness started with Courtney posting The following messages : "why does Taylor Whatsit deeply disturb me and why is...

O.J. Simpson: Guilty
If you spent the weekend outdoors and away from any media, good for you! While you were actually enjoying life, a jury in Las Vegas convicted O.J. Simpson of kidnapping and armed robbery. Simpson, who is currently being kept separate from other inmates, is planning an appeal, the success of which seems unlikely. The news, coupled with a German artist's claim that she has stolen the ashes of Kurt Cobain (he was in a band called Nirvana, you can learn more about them on Wikipedia) and will roll them into a jo

Her photographer in the glamorous photo shoot is a famous photographer Mark Seliger, who is known for his images of The Rolling Stones and Kurt Cobain. Emma Watson revealed: “Mark encouraged me to become a different person or character for each photograph and so they all tell different stories So, in the end, I combined two l

Courtney Love’s foul mouthed rant at Jonas Bros
Courtney Love, the widow of Kurt Cobain, has launched a tirade of abuse that The Jonas Brothers for their stance on ‘purity’ and the wearing of purity rings. “I feel horribly rude that my desire not to watch a** holes with chastity rings- oh for f***s sake I’ve had some great conversations but not ONE has ever ended in an Orgasm. Y’all need some p***y and some c**k and shut the hell up,” she wrote. How nice; how proud Kurt would be now… oh wait, no, I doubt he would. So
