Into the Groove

By Paul V.

Courtney Love, who fought so hard to retain her stake in Nirvana's music catalog, may be considering selling off her portion. The singer recently said that she'd consider selling a 25 percent share for "quite a lot of money." Love is currently in London discussing her future, which could include a new record deal, the making of a TV documentary, and taking on a theater role. Huh? Meanwhile, it's nice to see that Courtney has managed to kick the drug habit that had her breaking into houses at night, and that she's lost the 20 extra pounds she put on when she tried to stop. Apparently, every single morning she goes straight to rehab and insists on doing pilates -- while listening only to the Goldfrapp album. Great taste in music, doll -- and you look great!

Speaking of rehab, Boy George entered a guilty plea to charges of falsely reporting a burglary, wherein police had arrived at George's NYC pad and found all that cocaine. The singer was fined $1,000 and sentenced to five days of community service. The drug charges were dropped, but George was ordered to attend a drug rehabilitation program.

In short people news, Tre Cool from Green Day apparently loves having sex with midgets. The word is that at the recent Kerrang Awards, he managed to find a 3-foot, 6-inch girl to bang the drum with.

The VH1 Classic series has had great success with their Decades Rock Live shows, and they've tapped a new batch of performers for upcoming specials. The next taping includes Alice In Chains, Dave Navarro, Carrie Underwood, and Rufus Wainwright joining rock veterans and the night's honorees, Heart. That episode will air May 5. Elvis Costello will be honored by the likes of Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Death Cab For Cutie, and Fiona Apple during a show taping May 19.

Soul music veteran Isaac Hayes, the voice of the libidinous Chef on South Park, is packing up his chocolate salty balls and leaving the show, citing its "inappropriate ridicule of religion." Hayes is a robot, er, follower of the Church of Scientology, but didn't mention the South Park episode that aired last fall poking fun at Scientology and some of its celebrity adherents, namely the infamous "Come out of the closet, Tom Cruise" scene.

And finally, I'm here to reach out to Britney Spears -- who is rumored to be pregnant again! Honey, it's only been four months since you popped out the first one! Please, do us all a favor -- have those tubes tied or make your talentless husband get a vasectomy. And while you're at it, castrating Kevin Federline's vocal chords might be a great idea too. His debut single sounds like an abortion to begin with!
