It still amazes me the extent to which celebrities believe they are either above the law or able to use their stardom to bend it to their will, in addition to their own inability to rein in the less pleasant aspects of their personality. Being famous may mean that some people put you on a pedestal, but it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want and expect the media not to cover it. You're in the spotlight -- fame comes with its price and that price is constant attention.

I caught the last half-hour of Kurt & Courtney this afternoon (not the first time I've seen it) and every time I see that movie, it makes me think less of Courtney Love -- and at this point, I don't think I could think any less of anyone. I already hate her, her continued existence in the spotlight rankles me, but it just doesn't seem like she'll get hers anytime soon.

As documented in the film (and I've also heard this confirmed from other places), Courtney has repeatedly made death threats against journalists investigating her background and writing articles about her -- to the point where they were too scared to comment on her ever again because of their violent nature and harassing nature. She has physically attacked journalists, intimidated them so badly that they fled their houses and moved away from the cities they lived in, and threatened their families as well. In spite of that, she was a featured speaker at an ACLU event -- surprising, considering the organization champions free speech.

I've found Courtney to be pretty stupid, pretty crass, pretty violent, and not talented at all -- but more than that, I think she's a pretty poor excuse for a human being. Funny how it's the bad eggs who get famous and revered. It makes me doubt that there's justice in the world, because the worst punishment an egomaniac and megalomaniac like her can experience is a life of mediocrity in an unnoticed existence.
