Courtney Love isn't saying she's anorexic, but she concedes she's looking "painfully thin" lately. "I know I've got too skinny," the Hole frontwoman told the Daily Mirror. "I know I need to sort it out."

Love, who looked downright voluptuous a few years ago, says her doctor diagnosed her with malnutrition two weeks ago. "He gave me a massive shot of vitamins and told me to start eating," said the 44-year-old rocker, who reportedly weighs just 84 pounds and is five feet, 10 inches tall.

The tributes to Michael Jackson will surely keep coming, but we're betting none will top the Iowa State Fair's homage to the King of Pop for surreality. Now, it's not traditional State Fair, um, fare like fried Twinkees or Snickers in deep batter, but it's not far off.

The Des Moines Register reports that the fair is planning to honor Jackson with a butter statue. That's right, a likeness of the King of Pop made of dairy. The statue, which will reportedly sit in a cooler chilled to 40 degrees, will serve a two-fold purpose, and no, it's not for giant french toast. In addition to being a memorial of sorts, the moonwalking Jackson will also pay homage to the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.

Remember the summer of 2005? Seems so long ago, doesn't it? Led Zeppelin had yet to reunite (they still do, really), the Foo Fighters had a hit record with 'In Your Honor,' and Queens of the Stone Age released not one but two albums sandwiched by a blockbuster tour. Still, that's the year when Foo frontman Dave Grohl dropped the big one in a Mojo Magazine interview.

No, he wasn't planning on reuniting Nirvana by filming a reality-TV series about the search for Kurt Cobain's replacement. Instead, he was looking to form a new power trio featuring him on drums, naturally, QOTSA's Josh Homme on guitar, and ... drum roll please, Mr. Grohl ... Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones on bass.

"That's the next album," he told Mojo at the time. "That wouldn't suck."

Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard and Nick Harmer think 30 Seconds to Mars' frontman Jared Leto should stick to acting. In a new interview, the DCFC members say Leto -- whose break came as Jordan Catalano on 'My So-Called Life' -- is putting on in his music.

"Not to throw anyone under the bus, but Jared Leto and his band 30 Seconds to Mars -- he's acting the part," Harmer tells the Big Takeover.

"He's a professional actor in music; so there's no way to feel any sincerity about his position as a musician," says frontman Gibbard, who, interestingly enough, is engaged to actress/musician Zooey Deschanel. "Because he makes a living playing characters -- so why wouldn't he be able to take a step forward? Then you're also acting what you think a rock star should act like."

With all the international touring artists do, it was only a matter of time before one of them contracted swine flu. Unfortunately for indie singer-songwriter Jens Lekman, that artist is him. The 28-year-old is in quarantine for the next 10 days in his native Sweden.

Lekman revealed the news in a blog post that begins "I picked home one last souvenir from South America, it's called the H1N1 virus. Wrongfully known as the Swineflue." After a short stint South American tour where he performed in Chile, Argentina and Brazil, he was flying home when the symptoms began.

With their upcoming album entitled 'Joy,' an "older and wiser" image, and a recent concert on Father's Day in which they brought their kids out on stage to boogie down with them, who would guess that Phish would be at the center of a controversy? And they're not ... really. But that hasn't stopped animal rights group PETA from imagining one.

Unaware that the band's name was never intended to mean marine life (um, that would be spelled with an "F"), PETA has publicly asked Phish to consider changing their name ... to Sea Kittens.

In an open letter to the band, Special Projects Manager Michelle Cho writes, "We have a new campaign in which we generate empathy for fish by rebranding them as 'sea kittens'... Renaming the band Sea Kittens would be a great way to help sea kittens rock on, free from fishing nets and hooks, even if just for a day. Please let me know what you decide."

Legendary producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector may be taking the Martha Stewart approach to jail-time. At least, in a way. Spector, age 69, has just begun to serve his 19 years to life sentence and, according to the Associated Press, he'd like to serve it with certain luxuries: specifically, the ability to listen to music, check email and watch his favorite shows.

Spector is being held in a single cell in a "sensitive-needs facility" area of his new home, the State Prison at Corcoran, Calif. As a medium-security inmate at California's largest prison, he is allowed to ask for certain creature comforts and, at the top of his list, are an iPod, a television and a computer. Prison officials have indicated that those wishes will likely be granted.

Spector was transferred to Corcoran after an evaluation at North Kern State Prison where, he claims, he was mistreated. His allegations are being investigated. This isn't the first time the Corcaran State Prison has seen a celebrity locked behind its chains: In 1999, Robert Downey Jr. served time there as the result of a probation violation. No word on what comforts Downey was granted, but, you know -- he got out.
