Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love

KEY POINTS:

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's ashes have been stolen, according to his troubled widow Courtney Love.

The legendary singer's ashes were reportedly swiped during a robbery at Love's Los Angeles home recently.

Love had kept the grunge musician's ashes in a pink bear-shaped bag, along with a strand of his golden locks.

Clothes and thousands of dollars worth of jewellery were also taken from Love's home about two weeks ago, it's being claimed.

The callous theft has apparently left Love feeling "suicidal".

She says, "I can't believe anyone would take Kurt's ashes from me. I find it disgusting right now I'm suicidal. If I don't get them back I don't know what I'll do.

"They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me. Now it feels like I have lost him all over again."

Cobain killed himself with a shotgun in 1994 while high on heroin. It's a fair assumption to make that Love has never recovered from the trauma.

Some of Cobain's ashes were reportedly scattered in a Buddhist temple in New York, others near his home in Washington State, and the remainder stayed with Love.

There are two likely scenarios here:

* some sticky-fingered waste of skin did actually go on the rob in Love's nest, and swiped the stash of ash; or

*Love tossed her beloved ashes out with the kitty litter.

You decide.

Bless her, Love's as mad as a bag of snakes.

I'll never forget

this legendary interview

when she gate crashed a Madonna interview by tossing her compact mirror at her.

Wonder how long it'll be before Cobain's ashes debut on eBay...

Address the mess

Amy Winehouse staked her career in the heart after a shambolic performance at the Lisbon music festival this weekend.

After leaving 90,000 fans waiting for almost an hour, the jazz wreck turned up on stage and gave what some have politely described as a "distracted" performance.

Hoarse and complaining of a sore throat, Wino apologised to the already booing crowd for her lateness, and then proceeded to mumble her way through hits like Rehab.

She was a total mess. And those conspicuous scratches on her arm made another appearance, too.

Her management/record company should have intervened here and not let her take to the stage. Let her save what dignity she has left.

Mediocre Madge

Madonna's video for new single

Give It 2 Me

has been christened online.

At best, it's a mediocre video for a below par song. Very disappointing.

Click quick, guys, because Warners is on the warpath and yanking this video down at will.

Taking the SJP

It had to happen.

Some inspired soul with way too much time on his hands has launched a website called

SarahJessicaParkerLooksLikeAHorse.com

Yes, you guessed it; the site is plastered with more equine imagery than you can shake a hoof at.

The website's Stable Master says they prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Sarah Jessica Parker does indeed look like a horse.

Fascinating.

Caught short

Actor Liam Neeson had a little accident while trotting around Ireland last week.

He pulled a Fergie and

wet himself

Incontinence pants are in the mail, bud.

Everyone's talking about...

Keira Knightley and the fact that she sings

Blue Tahitian Moon

in an upcoming film called

Edge of Love.

Verdict?

Huge Jackman

If you can read my not-so-funny pun above, it means that my editor has turned a blind eye to my obsession with all things Hugh Jackman and let me show you

this glorious gem

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Can't speak, mind in gutter.

Anyway, while I'm down there, I might as well tell you about the other hotness that is Jake Gyllenhaal.

Word has it that he's totally smitten with latest bird Reese Witherspoon and wants to start making babies with the

Legally Blonde

star.

A source tells

OK!

Magazine that Gyllenhaal loves spending time with Witherspoon's two kids, eight-year-old daughter Ava and four-year-old son Deacon, and sees himself as father material.

"He knows he might be jumping the gun thinking of kids, but he knows that Reese is the one.

"He laughs and says he needs to propose and do this the right way. It really is first comes love, then comes marriage - cheesy as that sounds, it's the way he thinks!"

The source adds: "Reese has admitted that Jake has grown from when they first met into this very dependable dad type. He's ready to have his whole life change."

Frock horror

Victoria Beckham features in

for fashion fancier Marc Jacobs.

She looks ridiculous. Like one of those

dolly-things

your granny would use to cover a toilet roll.

Surprise

Newlywed and soon-to-be-mother Ashlee Simpson has decided to postpone her summer tour due to her pregnancy.

Her rep says:

"After careful consideration, Ashlee Simpson has decided to postpone her summer tour. She is committed to giving her fans the best show possible, and will be back better than ever and ready to rock in the future."

Sporting a mammoth baby bump

and floating in a pool of water.

I especially like the limp wrist action...very "Obey me now and get me my rubber ducky!"

Guns 'n' ammo

Angelina Jolie, who is

still pregnant

with twins btw, has told the

Mail on Sunday

that she

keeps guns in her house

and isn't afraid to use them.

In an interview with the newspaper she says, "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them."

Something tells me she's not joking.

Jolie good

Jolie looks milflicious on the cover of the latest

Vanity Fair

magazine.

In the feature

she talks about disciplining her kids with star charts, how she 'feels married' to Brad, and how she found having a C-section 'fascinating'. Righto.

More on Jolie...

According to a new interview she's finally ended her longstanding feud with her father Jon Voight.

The pair has not spoken since 2002, when he proclaimed during a TV interview that he thought Jolie had "severe emotional problems". The actress cut him out of her life as a result.

But Jolie now says that she's prepared to start talking to Voight again.

She tells Australia's

Sydney Morning Herald

newspaper, "We are going to try to get to know each other and maybe try not to be this daddy and daughter, but to be there for each other as friends in the coming years."

Voight also declared in a recent interview that the pair plans to meet.

"I'm sure we will, yeah," he said.

See, blood is thicker than mud. Hurrah!

Just a small tip, Voight: If you're really serious about a reunion, you might want to

brush your teeth first.

Is that a lettuce between your teeth, or are you just happy to see me?

Zip it

Some old broad named Lauren Hutton, a model by all accounts, has criticised

Sex and the City

for portraying women as sluts.

Speaking on

The Today Show

, she said:

"It's written by guys, who happen to be gay, who are sluts. That's what I think.

"Let's face it: Most men are sluts. That's what testosterone is supposed to do. As a hunter, if you stayed alive after 30, nature wanted your genes out there. Women were just trying to get the best sperm to make a masterpiece.

"You have a bunch a guys who are sluts, writing for women and telling them they are supposed to act like this."

Word has it that she's never actually seen a full episode of

SATC

, so, quite frankly, she can keep her Neanderthal opinions to herself.

Yeah,

whatever

Pants man

Jessica Simpson has apparently approached Jennifer Aniston and warned her to stay away from former beau John Mayer. But it's not what you think...

Simpson is said to be trying to warn the former

Friends

star to be careful with Mayer, because of his legendary lothario ways.

A source says: "Jessica wants Jen to be aware of what she's letting herself get into with John. She doesn't want her to make the same mistakes. John is a ladies man."

And a friend of Mayer seems to confirm my suspicions about him: "He'll spend every waking minute talking to someone and spending time with them and then move on to the next girl."

He's not a keeper, sweetie.
