Courtney Rekindles Romance With Billy?, Killers Snub Killah, Metallica Album Hindered by Children

1/5/07, 3:00 pm EST

Courtney Love Bily Corgan

  • Recently Courtney Love revealed her New Year’s resolutions — all 749 of them. Among the purging of hopes and dreams for 2007, Courtney listed “makwe sure Billy feels i have his bac k too and not allow him to go off the rails even if it eans confrontation- because thats what friends do” right between “tour tour tour” and “cultivate real and deep relationships with others.” Rumor has it that the former couple is doing more than supporting each other as friends, and have actually begun dating again. We actually think this is kinda sweet.
  • Snoop Youth Football League Foundation is apparently being sued by the TV production company Natural Resources Media & Technology Group for promising them the rights to his reality show about his life as a youth football coach, then selling the show to Fox. We think this show has real promise and belongs at a network that doesn’t also host The O’Reilly Factor and When Animals Attack, but so be it.
  • Look Killers, when a Wu Tang Clan member asks to collaborate with you (and is named Ghostface Killah) you do it. The rapper has reportedly had his feelings hurt by the Killers’ rejection of his genre-bending overtures. “I wanted to do a song with them,” he reportedly said. “I’m Ghostface Killah and they’re the Killers. We were going to do a mash-up with my vocals over their music, and it was going to be the Killers meet the Killah. But they didn’t want to do it. I was disappointed.” You’re too good for them, Killah.
  • Lars Ulrich has explained why it’s taking Metallica two years to write and record their new record. It’s the PTA meetings. “The days of 16-hour studio days and six days a week, that’s not really happening,” he reportedly said. “We sort of come down here at, you know, nine in the morning and then we sit and work ’til we have to go pick the kids up, or ’til somebody has to go to the dentist or something, you know.”
  • We knew those Abba people had a dark side. Abba’s Bjorn Ulvaeus has reportedly been accused of tax evasion. According to Swedish Tax Authority official Victor Palm (a very serious dude) some of the musician’s income may have been stored in those ever-shady-sounding offshore accounts.

Looks like Corgan clubbed Courtney with that mangled, purple left hand he’s wielding in that pic! God damn! What an UGLY couple!

Kurt | 1/5/2007, 3:35 pm EST

Watch out, Bill….your songs will end up in commercials

Zachra | 1/5/2007, 3:39 pm EST

When was the last time FOX ran a When Animals Attack Special?

Philbee | 1/5/2007, 3:39 pm EST

I would not have known that was C. Love. What a mug! Her star-f*cking days are over. However, in the period it took me to write this she probably named dropped 20 movie stars.

ghostface who?
you may not be a fan of the killers but in the uk there isnt many homes without a copy of hotfuss. remember that next time you slate artists that are truely enjoyed by the majority. idiot!

john | 1/5/2007, 4:33 pm EST

haha…2 has beens, although Billy Corgan actually was good at one time…..Courtney was nothing but a cumbucket for talented musicians…….

john | 1/5/2007, 4:34 pm EST

hahah Wu Tang Clan?!?! what is it 1996??? I havent heard that name in at least 10 years…

dreadhead | 1/5/2007, 4:50 pm EST

The Killers are a bunch of no talent ass clowns

Bayliss | 1/5/2007, 4:54 pm EST

Billy don’t be a hero….Don’t be a fool with your life..

I bet she gives great head?

jungleland | 1/5/2007, 4:55 pm EST

who are the two homeless people in the picture?

Alejandro | 1/5/2007, 5:12 pm EST

Smashing Pmpkins and Hole were my favorite bands of the 90’s along with Nirvana! Ive never understood the hating against Love or Corgan. Corgan is a rock genius and Love is probably the best lyricist to come out of the Grunge scene(without a doubt).

Both have new albums coming up.They should tour together!!!

john | 1/5/2007, 5:36 pm EST

ALejandro…so Courtney Love was the best lyricist in the darkest most boring time in rock history..wow thats great…I love how these bands who were supposed to take over the world are dead, yet Guns N Roses and Metallica continue to sell records and play sold out arenas…grunge movement my ass

mcache | 1/5/2007, 6:13 pm EST

Billy needs to hide his shotgun

cortny luv | 1/5/2007, 6:28 pm EST

y due u peeple laff atm y splling?

Ravini | 1/5/2007, 6:42 pm EST

Why is there a picture of Bette Midler on this page?

cheesecrop | 1/5/2007, 7:26 pm EST

The first half of the 90’s were one of the greatest periods for rock ever. As for bands taking over, no moment in rock ever lasts forever. Even the bands in the late 60’s and early 70’s were swept away w/time(kids weren’t still tearing each other apart to get at these records around 1982). 80’s metal had it’s day in the sun that it rightly deserved, but anybody who thinks the music still rules the charts must be wearing pretty dark sunglasses. Despite my support of the 90’s even I have to admit that pictures pretty bad. Surely their was at least one other picture you could have used? Was there???

thekillersrock | 1/5/2007, 7:50 pm EST

Why bash the Killers for not wanting to work with someone? So what? It’s their right as musicians. To say that someone is too good for them because they didn’t want to do a ‘mash-up’ of what is already a pretty fantastic song, is just silly. Also they can pick and choose who they think will work best with their music. So, Pet Shop Boys is remixing ‘Read My Mind’ that combination makes allot of sense. RS and Elizabeth Goodman hate the Killers, we get it. They could save a family from a burning home and you would find something negative to say. What-EVER!

PeteHagen | 1/5/2007, 7:55 pm EST

The Killers suck anyways.

Alejandro | 1/5/2007, 8:15 pm EST

John,
since when does selling millions of records equals quality and genius?

If your equations were right, that means that female rock artists like Patti Smith and PJ Harvey dont amount to much at all.

That would be a scary place to live…

and here I am only sticking to the female paradigms to just prove a point, please dont open the male door…

Jimmy Jazz | 1/5/2007, 8:25 pm EST

Hey Stroke, you’re totally right. Because someone’s album tanked is a GREAT reason not to work with them. You fucking retard. Judge artists by album sales and your precious Killers get dusted by those kids from High School Musical. Think before you type, jackass.

Purple hand | 1/5/2007, 8:36 pm EST

I noticed that weird hand too. Did he burn a few fingers off somehow, or is it just really chapped?

readytorock | 1/5/2007, 9:01 pm EST

liz goodman is a rap loving groupie. get out of RS.

likroper.com | 1/5/2007, 9:45 pm EST

i’ll bet you courtney love is an absolutely masterful skin flute player…

Thomas | 1/5/2007, 9:56 pm EST

lars ulrich sounds like such a pussy. at least metallica has rick rubin on the project so they can be uplifted to the greatness of their best CD since …And Justice For All.

Chuck | 1/5/2007, 10:13 pm EST

If one of the only great rappers out there asked me to do that, I’d let them. I always have respect for rappers when they admit they like stuff other than, ya know, rap. It always bugged me on celebrity playlists when the rappers had a whole thing of rap. Rediculous. Anyway, why not let him, Killers? It would probably sound better anyway.
As for Corgan…he could do better.

ndny | 1/5/2007, 10:57 pm EST

metallica doesn’t rate a comment?
okay i’ll do it. rock stars who have kids should die, that is the rock gods should take them to rock heaven and call them their own. look at all the historical examples. their work is done.

Tim | 1/5/2007, 11:49 pm EST

One thing is for sure, If Courtney`s comeback this year is another flop, it won`t be because of a lack of publicity. Every silly little thing she says or does gets picked up by every news agency on earth.

al bino | 1/5/2007, 11:54 pm EST

courtney hole can lick my balls anytime!

Quinn | 1/6/2007, 1:17 am EST

That Killah quote came out of Spin magazine. Wonder if your boss knows, you stupid ass.

Randy | 1/6/2007, 4:11 am EST

aww, come on. Courtney looks pretty good considering how deep she went off the edge for a while, and it’s not like Fergie looks any better…Billy’s another story. Madame Goodman of the Fancypants Club Band-I’m not a fan or anything, but I’d like to hear you write a better song than the Killers. Your constant bashing of them is quite taxing.

Jon | 1/6/2007, 4:29 am EST

I’ve been reading this magazine and coming to this website for a long time now, and to be honest, Rolling Stone no longer has any consistency in its criticism (musically and sometimes politically). Honestly, this magazine doesn’t know what its editorial direction is or what segment of the public it is catering to. The reason? It is attempting to mesh mainstream commercial interests with pandering to the Pitchforkmedia crowd (e.g. Giving Weezer’s Make Believe four stars because the band appeared on the cover, while consistently “dissing” scenester-pariahs The Killers: A band that received two stars in this magazine yet still gets collaboration invites from Pitchfork/Rollin Stone hero Ghostface Killah).

Enjoy your dwindeling market share Rolling Stone… you’ve earned it.

john | 1/6/2007, 4:41 am EST

Alejandro..Patti Smith and PJ Harvey fucking blow….and it has nothing to do with how many albums they have sold….my point was people predicted Nirvana was going to bury GNR and Metallica, yet they still sell a shit load of albums proving they still have an audience…if you are going to argue that Nirvana was not just a fad good luck…Slash had more musical talent in his pinky than Kurt had in his whole body…

Zero | 1/6/2007, 10:55 am EST

Wow you people really hate Elizabeth Goodman huh, she must have killed your cat cause the worst thing she’s doing is disagreeing with your musical taste. OH NOES, SOMEONE DOESN”T LIKE MY FAVORITE BAND THEY MUST GET YELLED AT THAT THEY SUCK. I think you believe you could do what she does (which is probably true) but you don’t so you’re jealous. Learn to deal.

Otelo J. | 1/6/2007, 1:21 pm EST

Wow, havent heard from Corgan in years, I thought he was dead

TRePlev | 1/6/2007, 2:37 pm EST

Cant wait for The Smashing Pumpkins and Courtney Love’s new albums!!!

Finally! REAL rockstars making music!

midevil | 1/6/2007, 6:16 pm EST

Dear Billy,

Billy is so fucking hot
unlike Courtney,
who’s all about the rot–
forget Courtney and date me!

Craig | 1/6/2007, 6:39 pm EST

you gotta love that the killers album, one of the best of the year gets 2 stars and so does gwen stefani’s, one of the crappiest.

Alex | 1/6/2007, 10:38 pm EST

What’s up with Billy’s hand? Well anyways, i think it’s good Courtney and Billy are together…they need each other. But imagine the possibilities if Trent Reznor and Tori Amos had made babies…

prd | 1/7/2007, 1:19 am EST

The “thing on Billy’s hand” is a birthmark, people. Jeez.

kakiouzis | 1/7/2007, 10:13 am EST

come on billy, the forthcoming album from the smashing pumpkins gonna be the album of the year

Kurt's Ghost | 1/7/2007, 10:18 am EST

What is my wife doing with him? He looks like a penis with teeth.

... | 1/7/2007, 12:06 pm EST

“mcache | 1/5/2007, 6:13 pm EST

Billy needs to hide his shotgun”

yes he does… anyways, when will the time come when i check up on the RS website or even read a Rolling Stone magazine with the latest photo of courtney love’s oversized lips and the latest (probably, planted) stories about who the latest guy shes using?

Bob | 1/7/2007, 12:21 pm EST

Courtney Love, replacement for Iha?

THINK about it man!

marnr67 | 1/7/2007, 12:57 pm EST

yeah, why isn’t anyone saying THANK GOD that Killah isnt overdubbing over the Killers? I mean I can’t think of too many bad ideas for an album besides the Linkin Park/Jay-Z mash up… except Ghostface and the Killers…. that just sounds disgusting

Mark | 1/7/2007, 1:57 pm EST

Should be interesting to see if all the media attention Courtney gets will make any difference in terms of her CD sales & concert tix. If she has low sales numbers again she is just a media novelty, like Anna Nicole Smith or Kevin Federline.

james iha | 1/7/2007, 2:32 pm EST

billy batrayed me! courtney is the new smashing pumpkins guitarist

John | 1/7/2007, 7:22 pm EST

Abba=criminals

metalkills | 1/8/2007, 12:26 am EST

courtney is looking ragged

Larry | 1/8/2007, 12:26 pm EST

That’s awesome the Killers said no to Ghost. I’m glad they have some artistic integrity. Rock/Rap mash-ups suck. Ghost is cool, Killers are alright, but don’t mix the two.

new musical express | 1/8/2007, 3:03 pm EST

i wanna reckyou with gonna hair you tonightttttttttttttt!
viva los mulsum!

Leanie | 1/8/2007, 4:03 pm EST

Goodman=idiot

Amanda | 1/9/2007, 3:27 am EST

Its pretty sad when Rollingstone is getting its news from Spin

Even If you did find the Killers/Killah thing on Drowned in Sound, Rollingstone, its second hand from Spin
The quote is direct from the article “Jukebox Jury” by Kyle Anderson in the January 2007 issue where “Ghostface Killah and the Hold Steady’s Craig Finn spread the love while evaluating some of the year’s best singles.”

jaco | 1/9/2007, 3:56 am EST

Is Courtney trying to leech songs off Corgan like she did before. And you can’t tell me she didn’t steal some from Cobain.
She is an opportunist like non-other.
C’mon Billy, take up another charity besides the Courtney Cause.
