Courtney Love is beginning to curse the day she became the guardian of her late husband Kurt Cobain's Nirvana catalogue - because it has become a big anchor in her life.

The Hole rocker admits it's a constant struggle to keep the tragic star's music from grasping opportunists who would like to use the music in films and commercials.

She tells Bust magazine, "The Nirvana stuff is f**king cursed in my opinion... Somebody has to guard the gates of this thing, because you know what would happen? The second I sell (the rights), it becomes a jukebox musical, makes a billion dollars, and you'v...

On the 19th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, previously unpublished photos of the scene of his suicide have been released.

On April 5, 1994, the Nirvana frontman was found dead in the greenhouse at his Lake Washington home in Seattle, Washington. On Friday, editors at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer marked his untimely passing by releasing previously unseen images of his house.

The newspaper includes the caption: "A few (images) were published after Cobain's death in 1994. But most of them have sat in the same negative sleeves they were placed in the day they were taken."

A representative for Dave Grohl has shot down rumors suggesting the Foo Fighters star is planning to stage a Nirvana reunion tour by hiring a new singer to front the legendary band.

The drummer-turned-singer re-teamed with his former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic and the group's touring guitarist Pat Smear for a performance at the 12-12-12 charity concert in New York City last week.

They played with Paul McCartney filling in for frontman Kurt Cobain, who died in 1994, and revived the line-up for a second time with a performance on Saturday Night live show over the weekend.

Paul McCartney is to fill in for Kurt Cobain as the surviving members of Nirvana reunite at the Superstorm Sandy benefit in New York on Wednesday.

Grunge stars Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic have reportedly enlisted the Beatle to play onstage with them at the Madison Square Garden charity performance.

The Fab Four legend reveals Grohl invited him to "jam with some mates," but admits he had no idea he was filling in for tragic rocker Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994.

Paul tells Britain's The Sun, "I didn't really know who they were. They are saying how good it is to be bac...

Rock icon Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love is writing a musical based on his band Nirvana's rise to fame.

Love is collaborating with Britney Spears' former manager Sam Lutfi on a potential stage show telling the story of grunge star Cobain's life, his work in the band, and his marriage to the Hole rocker.

She is hoping to take the production to Broadway or convince Hollywood bosses to turn it into a movie.

Details of the project were revealed by Lutfi on Wednesday in court in Los Angeles, where he is embroiled in a civil defamation case against the Toxic hit-maker's mother Lynne.

It seems that Courtney Love doesn't want anyone to sing about her vagina, including Lana Del Rey.

Del Rey sang a cover of Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box," which apparently is all about Love's lady parts.

Love tweeted, "You do know the song is about my Vagina right...? On top of which some of the lyrics about my vagina I contributed. So umm next time you sing it, think about my vagina will you?"

The question is, did Del Rey know what the song is about? And if so, she apparently didn't care.

Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl is in awe after he was honored in his native Ohio with the world's largest pair of drumsticks.

Two 900-pound sticks were carved from local logs and went on display outside the Warren Amphitheater in his hometown of Warren on Saturday as a thanks for putting the city on the map.

The massive wooden sticks have since been declared the biggest ever made and have gone down in Guinness World Record history - and Grohl is flattered by the unusual accolade.

In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "To the wonderful city of Warren, from the bottom of my heart I...

Courtney Love has lost control of her late husband Kurt Cobain's publicity rights to the couple's only child.

According to sealed documents obtained by The Fix.com, Frances Bean Cobain has taken over the management of the Nirvana frontman's name, likeness and image.

The files allegedly show that Love, who been estranged from her daughter since 2009, agreed to step down as acting manager of End of Music LLC - the company in charge of handling the money generated from the late rocker's image - in 2010.

The move came after Love was loaned $2.75 million from her daughter's trust fund.

Hole rocker Eric Erlandson has played down reports his pal Kurt Cobain recorded an album of unheard songs before he died.

Fans of the late Nirvana frontman were sent into a frenzy last month when Erlandson apparently suggested Cobain had laid down demo tracks for an album's worth of new material before his death in 1994.

But now the guitarist has spoken out to clarify his comments, insisting the Smells Like Teen Spirit star was merely working on "ideas" and had only recorded snippets of songs on primitive equipment in his bedroom.

Erlandson tells NME, "I never used the word demo and I...

Courtney Love has offered an apology to her estranged daughter after she tweeted about a rumored romance between the teen and her late father's Nirvana bandmate Dave Grohl.

The Hole frontwoman raised eyebrows with a post on Twitter in which she accused Foo Fighters star Grohl of seducing her daughter Frances Bean Cobain, writing, "I hear from frannies (Frances') roommate that Dave Grohl hit on Frances, and that she was curious, I'm not mad at her, him I am about to shoot, dead."

Both Grohl and Cobain vehemently denied the rumor, with the rocker insisting her allegations were "upsetting, o...

Courtney Love has stepped up her war of words with Dave Grohl by accusing the rocker of destroying Kurt Cobain's memory by allowing a Nirvana song to be used in The Muppets movie.

The Foo Fighters frontman, who played in Nirvana with Love's late husband Cobain, was forced to defend himself this week after the Hole star claimed he had "hit on" her teenage daughter Frances Bean Cobain.

Grohl vehemently denied the allegations, branding Love's comments "another hateful Twitter rant," and the blonde star has now hit back by accusing her adversary of staining Cobain's legacy by letting Smells...

Jack Black has come to the defense of The Muppets after Courtney Love reportedly accused the popular puppets of destroying Kurt Cobain's legacy by covering a Nirvana song in the latest movie.

The Hole star was said to be fuming to discover Smells Like Teen Spirit was used in The Muppets film in a scene featuring Black, and is reported to have told pals the cover was "raping" her late husband's work.

However, Black is adamant no offense was intended as he is a big fan of the Nirvana frontman.

He tells E! Online, "I beg to differ... That's absurd, absurd, absurd... I personally hold no ...

Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl has confirmed reports he's making a movie about the studio where Nirvana recorded landmark album Nevermind.

REO Speedwagon star Kevin Cronin revealed news of the project last year, hinting he'll be a part of the untitled Sound City Studios documentary, and now Grohl has opened up about the film in the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

He says, "When Sound City closed last year, it was a very sad day. That place was like a church. The list of people that recorded there reads like a virtual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... We recorded Nevermind there back in 1...

Courtney Love stormed off stage during Hole's appearance at Brazil's SWU festival on Sunday after an audience member held up a picture of her late husband Kurt Cobain.

The outspoken rocker halted her set at the Sao Paulo event to call out a concert-goer in the crowd brandishing a photo of the Nirvana frontman, who took his own life in 1994.

She shouted, "I don't need to see a picture of Kurt, a**hole, and I'm going to have you f**king removed if you keep holding that up. I'm not Kurt, I have to live with his f**king s**t and his ghost and his kid every day. Throwing that up is stupid an...

Rocker Courtney Love dreams of marrying into British aristocracy because she's tired of romancing men whose bank accounts are no match for hers.

The widow of tragic Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain admits she's always been fascinated by English culture and would love nothing better than to wed a rich Brit and be known as Lady Love.

She tells Vanity Fair magazine, "I'm sick of dating people who are poorer than me. It would be really nice if someone I dated had really great lawyers..."

Love has even been reading up on proper royal protocol and likes to keep books by specialist publisher Debret...

Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean, 19, recently purchased a Hollywood Hills home for $1.82 million using her multi-million dollar trust fund savings. Good for her! She deserves to benefit from her father's estate.

We're sure there's a lot more money in the pot. Her mother Courtney Love was offered a staggering $162 million for her majority stake in Nirvana's back catalog back in May 2010. In 2006, the Hole rocker sold off 25 percent of the "End of Music" catalog, earning $50 million from the deal.

Courtney is writing an autobiography that is expected to include details about her straine...

Rocker Dave Grohl has reportedly turned documentarian to chronicle the history of the studio where he recorded Nevermind with Nirvana over 20 years ago

REO Speedwagon star Kevin Cronin has revealed news of the project to ArtisanNews.com, hinting he'll be a part of the untitled Sound City Studios film.

He explains, "Dave is working on this project based on a studio that we all used to work at. It's really interesting. I probably shouldn't be talking about it... but it's very cool. They (Nirvana) recorded Nevermind (there), and I know that it meant a lot to a lot of artists."

"So Dave is...

It was the cover that sparked a thousand imitators. Nirvana's Nevermind was spoofed so many times that the image became iconic. Who would have thought a little swimming baby would become the face of a generation?

Little did Spencer Elden's parents know that the day they dropped their little boy into a pool for a photo shoot for an up-and-coming band named Nirvana is the day that their son would become the iconic face of one of the greatest albums of all time.

It was 20 years ago today that Nirvana's Nevermind debuted, and became such a sensation that any album the band released afte...

The album "Nevermind" was never meant to change the world, but you can never predict when the zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana's second album turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream.

This wasn't entirely an accident, either, since Nirvana did sign with a major label, and they did release a record with a shiny surface, no matter how humongous the guitars sounded. And, yes, "Nevermind" is probably a little shinier than it should be, positively glistening with echo and fuzzbox distortion, especially when compared with the black-and-white murk of "Ble...

Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit is to be performed 144 times in a row as part of this year's Scotiabank Nuit Blanche art festival in Toronto, Canada.

Members of bands like F**ked Up, Tokyo Police Club and Gallows will play the hit track during the dusk-until-dawn event on October 1st.

The Nirvana celebration ties in with the 20th anniversary of the band's iconic Nevermind album.

Late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain dreamed of opening his own petting zoo, according to a new book about the history of grunge.

Journalist Mark Yarm gathered anecdotes about Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Mudhoney, among others, for his tome "Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge" - and one fact from Cobain's record label boss Bruce Pavitt really stands out.

The Sub Pop Records co-founder tells Yarm, "He (Cobain) was a sensitive guy who really liked kids and animals. I remember the first time I visited his apartment, he had, like, three different cages of gerbils. I got the impressio...

Miley Cyrus' version of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" has been named the worst cover ever in a new magazine poll.

Rolling Stone readers voted the teenager's live rendition of the grunge anthem the worst of the worst - ahead of Madonna's take on "American Pie" and Limp Bizkit's cover of "The Who's Behind Blue Eyes."

It's a heartbreaker for Cyrus who recently introduced "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to her live set, telling fans, "I want to play a song by one of the artists that inspired me. Without them (Nirvana) I wouldn't be here. They are the ones who gave me the strength and courage ...

Nirvana's iconic album Nevermind will be honored with an exhibition in London next month to mark the record's 20th anniversary.

The 1991 masterpiece has sold 30 million copies worldwide, and fans will be able to see rare photos, memorabilia and artifacts linked to the band and the album in the U.K. capital.

The event will be held at The Loading Bay Gallery in London's East End and will also feature a number of contributions from Nirvana devotees.

The exhibition will coincide with the re-release of a special edition of Nevermind on September 19th.

City officials in Kurt Cobain's hometown have rejected a motion to have a bridge named in his honor amid fears the tribute will memorialize the tragic rocker's drug use.

Fans of the Nirvana frontman recently petitioned councilors in Aberdeen, Washington to see if they would favor the renaming of Young Street Bridge over the Wishkah River and a nearby pocket park to Cobain Bridge and Cobain Landing.

But on Wednesday, City Council members officially voted against the bridge proposal because many believed the act would send out the wrong message and invite negative comments about Aberdeen.

The cover art for Nirvana's classic 1991 album Nevermind has been banned from Facebook.com - the photo of a naked baby has been labelled as graphic content.

The picture of a swimming baby chasing a dollar bill underwater has become iconic, but the artwork was removed from the group's official fan page shortly after music bosses posted the image online to commemorate the record's 20th anniversary.

Executives at the social networking site claim the photo violates its terms of use clause.

The notice reads, "Facebook does not allow photos that attack an individual or group, or that contain n...

The man who photographed the cover of Nirvana's iconic "Nevermind" album wants to revisit the image and take a shot of the naked baby all grown up.

Snapper Kirk Weddle was hired to find a swimming baby and capture him chasing a dollar bill underwater for the cover of the 1991 album. He picked little Spencer Elden as his subject.

Now, as the world prepares to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album, Weddle wants to recreate the shot with a grown-up Elden.

He says, "Now that Spencer's old enough, I'd like to shoot him swimming nude again."

The 'Forever 27 Club' has become more than a legend since the dawn of music recording. As it turns out, some of music's most influential artists who were taken from us much too soon all parted with the living at age 27. Is it a coincidence or a curse?

The latest 27-year-old to "join" this exclusive club is Amy Winehouse, who died Saturday at her London home. No one knows why or how yet, but initial speculation - most likely based on her past - is that drugs and/or alcohol were somehow involved.

Well, they played a big part in the deaths of these other stars who preceded her "in the club."...

Officials in Kurt Cobain's hometown are considering a request from fans to rename a bridge and park in the tragic Nirvana star's honor.

Locals in Aberdeen, Washington are being petitioned to see if they favor the renaming of Young Street Bridge over the Wishkah River and a nearby pocket park to Cobain Bridge and Cobain Landing.

Residents will get the chance to offer their thoughts on the proposal at an Aberdeen City Council meeting scheduled for July 27.

Cobain committed suicide in April, 1994.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl is convinced music technology is ruining rock 'n' roll because fancy studio production creates records which lack "personality."

The former Nirvana drummer decided to shun modern recording techniques during the making of his band's latest album, Wasting Light, by using old-fashioned tape instead of computers.

Grohl has now spoken out against modern recording techniques, which often involve replacing a percussionist with a computer-generated drum beat, insisting rock bands should stay true to their roots.

He tells Britain's The Sun, "All that s**t ruins...

Nirvana's legendary 1992 set at Britain's Reading Festival will be played to revellers at this year's event.

What was to become the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" rockers' final British performance at the music event has often been hailed as one of their best, with late frontman Kurt Cobain arriving onstage in a wheelchair and sporting a hospital robe - poking fun at reports he had overdosed.

Now music fans at the 2011 event, which has now been split between English cities Reading and Leeds, will get to relive the moment when one of the festival's most show-stopping moments is screened.
