Courtney Love
Gossip

As we talked about at the end of last year, 2008 was a great year for plastic surgery. But there's plenty more where that came from - past and future!

Having said that, The Hollywood Gossip is pleased to announce its inaugural Celebrity Plastic Surgery Hall of Fame class of nine worthy inductees.

They aren't the first, nor will they be the last, to go under the knife and alter their looks unnecessarily. But they most certainly are a deserving bunch.

Without further ado, let's look at the Hall of Famers ...

The Hills' Heidi Montag was a cute girl, but decided that the stereotypical Hollywood bleach-blond tramp look worked better. At least she proudly admits it!

Nice lips, Brittany Murphy. They really look better now that they've quadrupled in size. Makes you wonder why more girls don't have this done as soon as they turn 12.

Katie Holmes has nothing on Courtney Love.

While the fashion police may have issued an All Points Bulletin on Mrs. Tom Cruise, they've posted pics of Love in the following outfit across nationwide post offices. The posters read:

Wanted: an insane rocker chick that's doing her best to make Amy Winehouse look normal. If spotted, run for your life.

The ugliest aspect of this outfit is...

Here's a feature we haven't posted in awhile. Some highlights from the world of celebrity (and quasi-celebrity) quotes, courtesy of People magazine ...

"I feel like all artists inspire music in one way or another."
- Heidi Montag

"She's a gay man trapped in a woman's body. Like me."
- Courtney Love, on daughter Frances Bean

"Hundreds of you said Paris Hilton - with the tagline that you wouldn't want to do that to the pig."
- Former Miss USA and Dancing with the Stars cast member Shanna Moakler, on the contest she's running to name her pet pig

"I think I have a really great mug shot. It looks like a magazine shoot."
- Paris Hilton

Shanna Moakler and her pet pig, which may be named Paris Hilton ...

"It was just like Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday where you have to fast."
- Amy Winehouse's Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson, on sitting through the awards show while starving

"Do you really need to pick this exact moment, when there is nakedness and motorcycles, to take me away?"
- Bret Michaels, on being called away by a disapproving Aubry to talk while he was clearly enjoying himself, on Rock of Love

"He's easily distracted by food, much like me. I can be swayed from any task if buffalo chicken wings present themselves."
- Knocked Up and Superbad star Seth Rogen, on playing goblin Hogsqueal in The Spiderwick Chronicle

Courtney Love doesn't really believe in personal responsibility.

Sure, Owen Wilson might have to shoulder some blame for his troubled life. But the crazy rocker also points a big finger at British actor Steve Coogan.

"I went through it with Steve," said Love, who dated Coogan until an acrimonious split in 2006. She railed against him to Us Weekly.

"I was just out of rehab, and he was right there with the drugs," she says. "I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends ... I hope from the bottom of my heart that Owen stays the hell away from that guy."

While this may sound like typical insane raving from Love, former girlfriend Kate Hudson also reportedly would "forbid [Wilson] from letting Coogan into his house. She knew he was bad," says another source.

"The drugs and partying were a huge factor in the breakup," says a pal of Hudson, who has a young son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson.

"As much as she liked him, she didn't want to be around that."

Who would? Well, aside from Kate Moss.

Reportedly, those close to Owen were worried so much about his dependence on hard drugs that Woody Harrelson staged an informal intervention at his Hawaii home in May.

But Wilson continued to withdraw and succumb to depression following his June split from Hudson, who is now dating Punk'd star Dax Shepard (for some reason).

"Seeing her happy with someone else made him happy that she'd found that," says a Wilson family friend, "but made him hate himself so much more that he could never do it."

Sorry, folks, we'd much rather show that Keira Knightley nude photo again.

But the celebrity gossip forces of nature are obligating us to also post the picture of Courtney Love naked below. We're really sorry.

The widow of Kurt Cobain poses in such a ghastly manner in September's Harper's Bazaar. Remember, this is the same publication that also put Britney Spears naked and pregnant on its cover. So apparently there are magazines out there with even worst taste than Heidi Montag.

Spencer Pratt bashing aside, we wonder if Billy Corgan has really hit this. And how long he showered for afterwards, if so.

We thought it didn't get any sicker looking than today's earlier photo of Jenna Jameson, but Courtney is making a good case for nauseating news item of the day.

What do you think, readers? Is there anyone you'd wish to see nude less than this dirty singer? Cisco Adler, perhaps? Definitely?

We could really go on and on. Oh, we forgot Kate Bosworth. Sorry about that.

The point is: Courtney Love is looking very, very thin these days. We know she used to sing with the band, Hole, but does that mean she has to hole herself up in a basement with no food all day? Well ... does it?!?

In the past, we were afraid to see Courtney Love nude - but now we're just afraid that we won't be able to see Courtney Love at all if she continues at this pace. Hopefully, her good friend Billy Corgan will step in soon and offer assistance.

Until then, eat up, Court. Hire Rachael Ray to bake you some snacks or something.

And Kate Hudson is also quite thin. Almost forgot to mention her.

Paris Hilton's 26th birthday bash wasn't all fun and games.

There was the small matter of Brandon Davis, a.k.a. Greasy Bear, acting like a complete d!ck and offending pretty much everyone in attendance, ultimately forcing his slutty, heiress BFF to kick his oily ass out.

But it was still a rowdy occasion marked by good times and good friends. In the picture below, Paris is joined by lunatic rock goddess Courtney Love, along with the jail-bound Nicole Richie and her new beau, Joel Madden.

It's a fun gang. While posing for this picture, the fearsome foursome couldn't help but let their minds wander a bit, however...

Paris can't get over the fact that people are talking about Kim Kardashian getting busy with Ray J on film when Hilton is the one that wrote the book on riding sex tapes to stardom.

Nicole can't shake thoughts of her impending court date, while Madden is starting to realize how much cuter his ex, Hilary Duff, is than Richie - even if Hilary wasn't exactly Antonella Barba, if you know what we're saying.

Courtney Love? She has no clue where she is, ever. Not shocking.

Simon, Paula, Randy and ... Courtney Love?

Hold on to your remotes, American Idol fans, because the legendary rock idol Love tells Us Weekly that American Idol wants her!

THG NOTE: We're not sure whether to believe this just yet, given that Us Weekly, who broke the story, considers Courtney Love a rock idol.

In any event, Love revealed to the website that American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe called her last week inquiring into whether she would be interested in sitting in as a judge on the hit FOX show.

"He called," said Love, who may just be trying to better her online dating prospects by hyping herself. "He was wondering if I was interested. I thought it was kind of weird but brilliant."

No word on whether Love tried to negotiate a washed-up, mid-90s package deal of sorts featuring herself and rumored boyfriend Billy Corgan.

The question remains: Is FOX potentially lining up a replacement for slap-happy, usually-drunk Paula Abdul, or just looking to spice up the show with a fourth judge?

Love, who is in L.A. recording a solo album, declined to reveal any more specific details. But we can see her on the program. Drunk. And fighting with Paula Abdul. We're talking fist fight here, not just trading barbs.

A source says that the show is considering having Love replace that lush, but American Idol has stood by Abdul publicly thus far, and the show's reps could not be reached for comment.

Wonder how Love feels about Katharine McPhee's chest...

We're not sure how Billy Corgan feels about this.

But here's good news for anyone hoping to date a terrible speller:

Courtney Love is looking for a man. The Hole singer has informed fans, via her official website, that she's signed on to eharmony.com in order to meet the washed up rocker of her dreams.

That's right, readers, if you wish to take Courtney out, all you need is an Internet connection. And a penchant for insanity.

Still, there are more desperate ways to find true love: You could star on a reality TV show, following in the footsteps of Lorenzo Borghese.

Or you could fake a stay in rehab in order to garner sympathy from future suitors. We're on to you, Lindsay Lohan.

We didn't see this on the Courtney Love New Year's resolution list:

• Date washed up rocker

Nevertheless, Kurt Cobain's widow has decided to follow such a course of action, as she's been seen around town on the arm of former Smashing Pumpkins singer, Billy Corgan.

Having sort of seen Courtney Love nude, we can't exactly claim we know what Corgan is thinking on this one. Then again, since 1979 - the song, not the year - this frontman hasn't exacty been in demand, either.

Still, we imagine Billy and Larry Birkhead sharing a drink some time in the future and wondering what the heck they were thinking.
