Courtney Love Does ‘Heeb’ Magazine
Courtney Love is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Heeb magazine, a matter that Page Six of The New York Post took notice of, and speaks very candidly to the magazine about things as varied as dating tips, parenting and … well … Jews:
Page Six went so far as to accuse of Courtney of being anti-Semitic in her coverstory, saying:
COURTNEY Love claims she’s not taking drugs anymore, but you wouldn’t know it from comments she made in the Jewish magazine Heeb. Love, whose mother is Jewish but who describes herself as Buddhist, says of ex-husband Kurt Cobain’s legacy: “Every time you buy a Nirvana record, part of that money is not going to Kurt’s child, or to me, it’s going to a handful of Jew loan officers, Jew private banks, it’s going to lawyers who are also bankers . . .” The former Hole singer also mused on why she’s given up playing in an all-girl band: “Like, there are [bleep]ing riot grrls sitting there banging on pots and pans and talking about their vaginas, and that’s all really lovely, but the music blows.” On why she won’t date actors: “They’re [bleep]. They’re women.” And on being a parent: “I’m more like, ‘You’re not going to do that, so [bleep] off, or I’m taking your computer, and your [bleep]ing, you know, BlackBerry.’”
Heeb magazine, in response, speaks up in her defense, saying:
Today, Page Six ran an item on our recent interview with Courtney Love and focused on her purported “anti-Semitic ravings.” The evidence? A line half-way through the 5,550 word piece … Page Six, to its credit, makes mention of the fact that Ms. Love also explores her Jewish heritage in the interview—to be sure, these are not “anti-Semitic ravings” of the Mel Gibson variety. Unfortunately, it seemed not to matter too much to the editors of Page Six that the remarks made by this woman of Jewish background were being made in the context of a Jewish conversation in a Jewish magazine. Like it or not—and over the seven years we’ve been publishing Heeb we’ve found that many do not, but the simple fact remains: This is how Jews talk to Jews.
Personally, I do not believe that Courtney is anti-Semitic … I just think she’s a bit crazy … I mean, only a crazy woman would venture out in public looking the way that C. Love did here in SoCal last night:
But hey, she’s just being Courtney. Click HERE to read Court’s Heeb interview in full so YOU can determine if she harbors any feelings of anti-Semitism. Again, I’m gonna stick with the she’s crazy excuse and just wait for her to write her next blogpost.
Yeah, and that new album of hers should be along any day now …

I’ve never been a Courtney Love fan, but I just have to say “shut up Page Six”, she’s freaking jewish herself, to hate jews she’d have to hate herself.

I love how you make a judgment that she’s not anti-semitic as if there are two legitimate sides to the issue. The “she’s crazy” defense? Wow, Trent. How about “Heeb’s truthful, rational explanation” defense?

@troyS — my judgment is based on having read this interview and not finding anything anti-Semitic in her comments. whether or not she is anti-Semitic elsewhere, I cannot comment. on her supposed craziness, well, I think there’s a lot of evidence to support that claim. I’m not sure what you’re “Wow”ing.

Do you think she was intentionally trying to look like Britney Spears in the cover pic?

*sigh* There’s only so many times I can think ‘leave Ms Love alone, she’s been through a lot’. She really doesn’t leave much else to say these days other than ’she’s crazy’.

You know I gotta say that woman never really ceases to amaze me. I have no words for her interview, she just IS Courtney Love. Take her or leave her I guess. And actually at first glance at her face in the cover shot I thought she looked a lot like Cameron Diaz.

I’m really sorry she’s seriously braindamaged, folks!!

Courtney is such a mess–she needs to “give it up” already. We all know she is ON the drugs–I doubt very much she EVER quit them.
