Courtney Love is planning on selling off Kurt Cobain's things . It doesn't sound like she plans on keeping much. Being crazy kinda cancels out the sentimental.

"I'm going to have a Christie's auction," Love, 42, tells AOL music Web site Spinner.com. "(My house) is like a mausoleum."

"My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant ... bag full of flannel ... shirts," says Love, former frontwoman of the rock band Hole. "A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to '(Smells Like) Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just ... sell."

Love, whose upcoming album is titled, "Nobody's Daughter," says friends support the idea.

"Everyone's been positive and behind me on it," she says. "We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity."

She'll have a chance to move on from Cobain, too.

"I still wear his pajamas to bed. How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?"

Wasn't she dating Edward Norton for years? So she was hooking up with him in a dead man's jammies? *shiver* That's f-ed. No wonder why Tori was writing songs about her ass.

Remember that sad-looking sex tape starring Kim Kardashian and Moesha's brother? The one that Kim was pretending to fight even though it was a huge publicity ploy and she still planned to make money off it? Yeah, well, you've got Kim's official ok to be able to rush out and get a copy of their urine-soaked adventure seeing as she's dropped her lawsuit. If you hurry, maybe you'll still be able to find a parking spot near the video store. Lord knows there's sure to be some kinda riot.

The tape, which Vivid paid a million dollars for, is now a bestseller in adult video stores and online markets. Vivid's co-chairman tells TMZ, "We are pleased that Kim has dropped her legal action against us, we met with her several times and finally reached a financial arrangement that we both feel is fair."

Her master plan worked perfectly. Sources say that she's getting 5 mil out of the whole deal. Keep reading for how Ray J. celebrated the release.

Someone needs to have a sandwich. Seriously. Guess who these pin thin gams belong to?

Adrienne Shelly's last film, "Waitress," debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival with the film's stars, with Keri Russell and Cheryl Hines making appearances on the red carpet. Emotions were running high, as the director's absence at the premiere was noticeable for all those involved with the production of the film.

Cheryl Hines, who stars in the film, told the New York Daily News: "I have an extra extraordinary attachment to the movie because of Adrienne, but I really feel it's a beautiful film and I think anybody who watches it is going to love it."

And she told Newsweek: "Being a part of her life for a few months, I treasure that time. It's impossible to watch the movie without thinking about her."

I've heard good things about the film, and I rather like the sunny, tropical look that Keri Russell is rocking on the red carpet. This is so sad. I just at least hope "Waitress" does well. Now, I'm feeling all morose and unfunny...

Research In Motion announced this week that the new Blackberry 8830 will be carried by both Sprint and Verizon starting in May. Aimed at today’s jet-hopping, borderless business traveler, the 8830 will be able to retrieve e-mail in 62 countries and receive voice coverage in 157 countries. Gearlog has the details on how it accomplishes this feat:

(It) supports both CDMA (the network type that Verizon and Sprint currently use and is used primarily in the United States) and GSM, (the network type that the majority of cellular networks in the rest of the world use), which will allow 8830 users to travel freely from country to country and still be able to use Blackberry services like push e-mail, Web browsing, and more. The device will use Verizon and Sprint’s CDMA EVDO for high-speed data transfer and Web surfing, but if an 8830 user should ever travel to Europe, for example, the device reportedly will switch to GSM in order to make calls and send and receive data.

 

 

Other features include a full QWERTY keyboard, capability of playing music and video files, and Bluetooth connectivity. For more details on the differences between the Verizon and Sprint plans, check out this article at PC Magazine.
