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.

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."

An actor has yet to be cast to play Kurt Cobain in the late rocker's long-rumored biopic, but at least one couple may toss in a vote for Ewan McGregor. The actor tells Britain's Heart FM magazine that, while in London shortly after Cobain's 1994 death, he was mistaken for the ghost of the Nirvana frontman.

"This couple came around the corner and they saw me, and at the time I had quite long hair," he recalls. "I think it would be safe to say they were on some form of chemical enhancement. The guy thought I was Kurt Cobain and he looked at me and slightly panicked and grabbed hold of his girlfriend and he asked me if I was Kurt."

Courtney Love has come to the realization that handlers of the estate of her late husband, Kurt Cobain, have allegedly lost all the money that the Nirvana frontman had left for her and their daughter Frances Bean. A team of lawyers, forensic accountants and investigators have reportedly determined that Cobain's estate has been looted of more than $30 million in cash, and up to $500 million in real estate.

"I have never seen such greed and moral turpitude. This case is going to make Bernard Madoff look warm and fuzzy," Love's lawyer, Rhonda J. Holmes, of Gordon & Holmes in San Diego, told the New York Post. "We will be filing civil cases ... within the next 30 days. There are many, many millions missing. We've only been able to track down $30 million, but there is more. And then there is the real estate."

Although Kurt Cobain trashed Pearl Jam when he was alive – blaming them in 1992 for "pioneering a corporate, alternative and cock-rock fusion" – singer Eddie Vedder thinks that the late Nirvana frontman would have changed his tune.

"I don't think Kurt understood us at the time, but we became friends and I'm glad we had some of the great conversations we had," Vedder told The Sun while promoting expanded reissues of the band's 1991 debut 'Ten.' "I don't talk too much about him in respect to Krist [Novoselic] and Dave [Grohl] and I know he said that early stuff about not liking us."

Nearly 20 years out from the heyday of grunge, Vedder looks back at the Nirvana-Pearl Jam rivalry with a different twist. "There's a couple of complimentary things that he said in public about me as a human being, which I'm proud exist," he explains. "If Kurt were around today, I know he'd say to me, 'Well, you turned out OK.'"

Vedder also revealed that Pearl Jam is halfway through making its ninth studio album. "It's taken two weeks to get halfway there and that's writing it from the bottom up, so we'll see how long it takes to finish it," the singer says. "We will be playing shows. One of us is having a baby next year, so there'll be no touring then, so we have to get it done this year."

The remains of a guitar that was smashed to bits by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in 1992 has been sold for $100,000. An unidentified private collector bought the axe, which had been on display for a time at Seattle's Experience Music Project.

Jacob McMurray, senior curator at the EMP, confirmed the sale. The taped-up Fender Mustang in sunburst finish reportedly yielded the second-highest known price for an item of Nirvana memorabilia.

"It's a really cool-looking guitar because it's smashed and held together with duct tape and Kurt Cobain wrote on it," McMurray told Reuters. The seller was punk musician Sluggo of the Grannies and Hullabaloo.

Sluggo claims he traded a working guitar for the smashed one during Nirvana's 1992 tour, when Cobain went in search of a replacement after trashing the Mustang onstage in New Jersey.

Every once in a while, real life turns out to be in such bad taste that even the folks at Fox might not try to imitate it -- as evidenced by word that Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of the late Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, threw herself a "suicide-themed" Sweet 16 party earlier this month.

The little scamp pulled out all the stops for the shindig, hiring Mindless Self-Indulgence to provide the soundtrack, offering slices of a cemetery-silhouette birthday cake and hosting a "who can look most dead" contest. We're not sure which one of those parenting books suggested encouraging a kid to mock a father's death so openly, but we're just happy that it wasn't published in time for JFK Junior to throw himself a birthday soiree at the Dallas Book Depository.
