Courtney Love appears on the cover of celebrity photographer Dave LaChapelle’s new coffee table book, Heaven To Hell, cradling a skinny look-alike of her late husband, Kurt Cobain, in an image that mimics Mary holding Jesus after his crucifixion. Love’s blue dress is gathered to suggest Mary’s robes and Cobain lies limp on his back with track marks in his arms that are suggestive of Jesus’ wounds. The picture is typical of LaChapelle, who uses sets, costumes, and perfect lighting to achieve provocative and highly stylized images.

Cobain died in suspicious circumstances in 1994. He was found with what was ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, but also had more heroin in his system than it is believed he could have self-injected. Some claim that the details of Kurt’s death suggest that Courtney conspired to murder him with the help of Michael Dewitt, the Cobain’s male nanny. (See, all mannies aren’t benevolent. Here’s Kurt Cobain’s suicide letter vs. Google Adsense.) [via]

This image is gorgeous and is meant to invite controversy. I don’t find it offensive so much as in poor taste. Assuming that Cobain committed suicide, would you pose with a look-alike of your dead husband - in a pose that suggests he’s dying? Then again, Courtney doesn’t really give a shit because she does a lot of things that people would find offensive. At least she’s somewhat sober now.

David LaChappelle’s book is “coming soon,” according to his website.

Dustin Diamond, the beleagured Screech of “Saved by the Bell,” got an hilarious endorsement deal for a web hosting company right before the news of his sex tape broke. Given that his picture appears next to the tagline “Our nerds do it best all night long,” it would seem like the web hosting company, Globat, is in on the joke.

Globat denies knowing that Diamond’s nasty amateur porn video would come out right after it hired him as a spokesperson, but a source tells TMZ that Diamond’s manager told them something “huge” was about to happen:

Globat should just accept the publicity as they’re sure to get a lot more notice now, and they can keep claiming to have no idea that Diamond was such a nasty little man.

This latest news confirms the suspicion that Diamond released the sex tape to get much-needed publicity and cash. His manager said that it would only help him get more bookings for Diamond’s comedy act. As Agent Bedhead commented on our original post about this:

Despite everything I said about never wanting to watch “Saved by the Smell,” I of course tried to view it several times through TMZ’s website. The no doubt cring-inducing preview would not play for me, though, and I did a bunch of YouTube searches to no avail. Let’s hope that’s my last brush with this video.

In a move that screams “totally inappropriate publicity stunt,” Anna Nicole and her drugged lawyer, Howard K. Stern, had a “commitment ceremony” aboard a yacht complete with guests, an officiator, and speedboats delivering champagne. They claim it was meant to be a private affair, but then why did they invite guests, hold it at sea and make it look like a wedding?

Yeah, the first thing I wanted to do when my baby was three weeks old was go party it up with my partner. Now, it’s understandable to have a gathering for friends and family who came out to see the baby and comfort Anna, but why hold a “commitment ceremony?” It seems really hackneyed to me. Anna deserves every happiness and all, but this is a dumb move and people are going to stop feeling sorry for her soon.

No one believes this guy is the father of her baby, and holding a faux wedding isn’t going to change anything.

Beyonce and Gwyneth are new BFFs, and hung out together and partied in London for Gwyneth’s 34th birthday. They shopped, went to dinner, saw Jay-Z perform, and then hit a club afterwards. Gwyneth’s husband Chris Martin even joined Jay-Z on stage during his performance at Royal Albert Hall while Gwyneth let loose and sung backup.

[from Beyonceworld.net]

London’s The Mirror said that Beyonce and Gwyneth talked about music and babies at the after party, but they’re making that shit up and running a story based on the photographs:

They all obviously had a great time and enjoyed themselves on Gwyneth’s birthday.

Thanks to BeyonceWorld.net for these pictures.

Update: Jay-Z was the first hip hop artist to headline at Albert Hall. He will play Paris tonight and Milan tomorrow.

“Lightweight” in the image caption above is not a literal reference to either Beyonce or Gwyneth’s weight, and just refers to the fact that Beyonce is visibly drunk in the pictures, while Gwyneth just looks tipsy.

The New York Post is rehashing the old news that Angelina Jolie wants to adopt again, while adding the twist that Brad Pitt wants her to get pregnant with another one of his gorgeous spawn right away. This does not seem like real news, but since it’s about Brad and Angelina we’ll run it:

First of all, if this is true it’s really hard to get pregnant right away if you’re breastfeeding. It’s possible, but difficult. It also seems like some crap Page Six would make up on a slow Friday to have a Brad and Angelina story. But hell, we can’t blame them and rehashing it too. ]

Brad and Angelina are headed to India, where Angelina will play the wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl in the film adaptaion of Mariane Pearl’s book “A Mighty Heart.”

Britney Spears has fired her publicisit, Leslie Sloan Zelnick, and has brokered a $2 million deal by herself with People Magazine for the rights to the first pictures of SPF2 (Name borrowed from DListed). Spears wasn’t accepting much-needed help from Zelnick anyway, and showed up for her interview with Matt Lauer looking even trashier than she eventually appeared.

Page Six is reporting that Britney has refused to confirm that her new baby is named Sutton Pierce, and that the world won’t know the truth until the People spread comes out:

It seems like the tot probably does have the same initials as his one year-older brother, though. Life and Style reports that Britney shelled out six figures to redecorate the room that Sean Preston shares with his new baby brother, and that she had giant “SPF” intials painted on the wall:

We’ll have to see what Britney named the little one, and it’s hopefully not as bad as the girl’s name she was said to have picked out, “Jailynn.”

Star Magazine has an article titled “Britney’s plan to drop the weight fast,” which you can access below. It basically has no insider information and is just general diet and exercise tips and the fact that Britney wants to lose weight.

Lindsay Lohan’s dad is striking back at reports that he bragged to his fellow inmates about banging Lindsay’s stunt double. An anonymous letter was sent to the NY Daily News detailing Michael Lohan’s annoying habit of talking about his daughter constantly and making it seem as if he will have all of Hollywood at his feet when he finally sees the light of day. Michael Lohan said that it’s not true, and that the other jailbirds are just jealous of his hot daughter and fabulous opportunities:

Meanwhile Lindsay is said to be miserable since Harry left her, and is indulging in high-priced drinks she’s technically not old enough to be served:

Here are pictures of Lindsay on the night in question. She indeed looks quite drunk. But look - there’s a picture of Harry outside the very bar she was getting served illegally in. Did he visit her there? She’s got JBF hair - did he try to soothe her pain in the bathroom with a little breakup sex? Only the tabloids will tell.

Nicole Richie was photographed outside the West Hollywood Recovery Center on 626 N Robertson Boulevard. I Googled the center and learned that it’s an informal recovery center that focuses on 12-step meetings. At the top of the search were results for Crystal Meth Anonymous meetings that are held there on Wednesday nights.

These pictures of Nicole Richie outside the West Hollywood Recovery center are said to be from 9/27 - Wednesday - the same day Crystal Meth Anonymous meetings are held there.

Here’s the schedule of meetings at the West Hollywood Recovery Center on Wednesdays. It is possible the Nicole went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting “step study” and not a Crystal Meth Anonymous meeting as they are held at the same time. There is also a Nicotine Anonymous meeting at 8:30, but these pictures seem to be taken earlier than the 9:45 PM ending time:

Nicole has denied that she checked herself into an eating disorder clinic, as has been recently rumored. She wrote an exasperated message on her myspace blasting the rumors and saying that she’s annoyed that people keep bringing it up:

It’s long been rumored that Richie’s notorious stylist, Rachel Zoe, keeps her clients thin by serving as their drug dealer. Nicole may indeed be telling the truth that she doesn’t have an eating disorder, and her thin frame could be evidence of another addiction entirely.

If she is getting help, good for her. She seems really happy with Brody and hopefully she’ll kick whatever demons have been keeping her rail thin.

I’m calling this an exclusive because I believe I’m the first blogger to jump to this conclusion.

Richie is shown outside the 12-step facility on 9/27 and with Brody Jenner out to dinner on 9/24. [via]

Update: It looks like late afternoon in these pictures not 8PM, the time the meeting ended, as commentor Red Beet mentions. It’s unknown what Richie was doing at the 12-step center.

Thanks to the anonymous commentor for pointing out the white blob in Nicole Richie’s nose in the pictures of her out with Brody Jenner on 9/24. It initially looked like jewelry to me, but she doesn’t have a nosering in the other pictures. That very obvious white blob is possibly Photoshopped in, but it could be real. We got the pictures from lime-light.org, and are unsure of their origin.

She was spotted outside a 12-step center on Wednesday that offers Crystal Meth Anonymouse meetings, so we can only jump to wild conclusions about what’s going on with tiny Nicole.
