Elle Magazine talked to Courtney Love for some reason. Courtney told Elle that she deserves kudos because she was the first big star to have a public meltdown and Britney and all the others are just riding her roach-infested, dead-husband's-ashes-sprinkled coattails. "I had a long, hard fall," Courtney explained. "I set the stage for Britney to crash and burn. I went through it all first." Honestly - only Courtney Love would be twisted and sick enough to try and take credit for inventing the nervous breakdown.
And by the way, maybe I wasn't paying attention at the time, but I really don't remember Courtney's alleged meltdown getting the kind of coverage Britney's did. I don't recall CNN breaking into regular programming to show Courtney getting hauled away in an ambulance. I don't remember the tabloids being filled with pictures of Courtney bald-headed going ballistic on a photographer with an umbrella. I just remember Kurt Cobain suddenly dying and them saying it was suicide and everyone else thinking Courtney did it or at least pushed him to it. How about it Courtney? Why not fess up? You want coverage don't you? That would be the biggest story of the decade.
