Courtney Love plans to sell former husband Kurt Cobain's belongings, twelve years after the Nirvana frontman committed suicide. "I'm going to have a Christie's auction," Love told spinner.com. "[My house] is like a mausoleum. My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant Hefty bag full of flannel f***ing shirts. A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to Teen Spirit - that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just f***ing sell... Everyone's been positive and behind me on it. We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity." An rep for AOL, which runs spinner.com, announced today that no date has been set for the auction. Although Love has had a few boyfriends since Cobain's death, including actor Edward Norton, she says he's still a big part of her life. "I still wear his pajamas to bed," she says. "How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?"Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Gossip Natalie endorses loan programs
Natalie Portman is lending her star status to support microloans. The Star Wars actress has been working with FINCA International, an organization that provides small loans to people in developing countries. Portman described meeting young mothers who only had access to low-paying jobs working in poor conditions and says, "And then they're able to get a loan and start their own business out of their house and be with their children. It changes the whole system... If a woman can't tell her child, 'I can feed you tomorrow, I can pay for your school,' then where do they go? What do they do? What do they choose? It's really trying to reach the poorest of the poor and offering banking services to them."source

Gossip SJP takes digs at Gwen and young Hollywood
Sarah Jessica Parker took a dig at fellow celebrity designer Gwen Stefani while promoting her new fashion line, Bitten. Parker described Stefani's work as "much more avante-garde, definitely high fashion" to Glamour mag and added, "I don't want to do that for women, because that's not their lives... You're going to be able to buy $200 worth of clothes, leave that store with six bags and be able to pay your utilities and take your kids someplace special for their birthday." Parker has been open about growing up in a poor family, and tells the mag, "I got all of my oldest sister's hand-me-downs. And by the time I inherited them, they were really out of fashion." Parker also took a swipe at young Hollywood starlets: "Look how celebrities are acting these days," she said. "People are getting attention for doing nothing, for behaving poorly, for abusing themselves in public and being abused, exploiting themselves. I find it vulgar, and I find it awful."source
