That, and what's funny about making fun of a woman who, by all appearances, has worked really hard to get in shape? And comparing her to a drunk guy exposing himself in a public park? A woman can never win, I guess.
Courtney Love gets no sympathy from me. She had oodles of plastic surgery and became a total red carpet whore but still felt the need to rail against how "fake" everyone in Hollywood is. Fake = your boobs, nose and chin, Court! Don't be so pot/kettley!
I hate to tell you guys, but even Beyonce's stomach wouldn't look all that great before airbrushing. Courtney looks haggard, but not even remotely un-hittable. If that's your standard here.
I liked the old Courtney better. That's not 'in shape.' That's heroin.
And it's funny that you point that out, because the post isn't making fun of the fact that she's looking skinny like she's on drugs- they're making fun of her huge gut ("10 roll tummy")! So apparently, you can be both too skinny and too fat at the same time!
eh her gut isn't huge, thats simply what happens when you lose a lot of weight quickly. google 'stomach stapling' wait, no dont.
you think that's bad you should see someone who's lost 250 lbs and gone down to around 6% bodyfat. looks like they're wearing a human shar-pei suit or something. (don't ask me how i know this btw).
personally, back on topic, i'd hit them both, with a cricket bat.
But anyone just sitting like that would look like that, without airbrushing. She looks pretty good, IMO, but so does the other one. Just a different set of aesthetic criteria.
As a huge fan of Live Through This and Celebrity Skin, I have to say I love Courtney Love. I wonder, had Kurt lived, it the paparazzi would have taken as much delight in photographing him from unflattering angles?
Making fun of Courtney at this point is kinda like shooting fish in a barrel with a cruise missle. Ditto for the guy in the bikini. And when the hell is the fratboyism "I'd hit it" going to die the death it so richly deserves?
I like Courtney Love. She's a trainwreck, but at least she's still here, trying. And her music was always a ton better than her husband's (yeah, I said it). And if Billy Corgan wrote all her songs, why are they so much better than anything by Smashing Pumpkins? And she was good in "People vs Larry Flynt"
