US Weekly Reports

Posted by Deanna Couras Goodson Jan 31, 2007

This is a piece of news I’m not sure I believe, but…US Weekly is reporting that Paula Abdul might be replaced on American Idol by Courtney Love. The widow Cobain, who had a rock band called Hole, can’t sing. She also has a history of drug addiction - and she’s a b*tch.

Okay, maybe I’m being rude.

Truth be told - Courtney is intelligent. She does know music and she certainly won’t coddle the contestants. The actress/rocker who starred in The People vs. Larry Flynt would certainly not be boring. She’d also be able to tell the rocker wannabe’s what works and what doesn’t. Hole is one of my favorite bands from the 90s, but not because the singing is amazing. Of course, Paula isn’t exactly world-renowned for her pipes, either.

Courtney did tell US Weekly that the producer Nigel Lythgoe called her office and asked if she’d sit in for Paula. However, it’s not certain whether this would be a permanent or temporary thing. Ms. Love, who is currently with Smashing Pumpkins singer, Bill Corgan, both personally and professionally, is also working hard on her first solo CD.

Stay tuned. We’re sure to hear more about this rumor soon!
