A few weeks ago we heard about Courtney Love’s transition into the world of art after she held her first exhibition in Chelsea, New York. The collection, called ‘She’s Not Even That Pretty‘ included a bunch of drawings all with the theme of a blond woman in a seemingly chaotic mess. Most people, even those without an education in art criticism, could tell that this collection was in some form an obvious self portrait session. Today, Courtney has posted onto Twitter a pic of herself and her new best friend, Gwyneth Paltrow, along with a message that suggests Gwynnie is wanting to buy one of these artworks from Court.
“God I love you.Fred is going to call you to ship it to you. Buy it? No.. I painted for you, its yours!” Courtney tweeted today to Gwyneth, along with this pic…
Now, Courtney Love and Gwyneth Paltrow are not a very likely pair, in my opinion. Gwyneth is usually the epitome of poise and alas, poor Court, well, is not quite that. But this pic seems to show the two women to be new BFFs. Courtney doesn’t look that sober in this pic either… hmm…
I went to see Courtney’s exhibition in NYC and I have to say, I actually didn’t hate it. In fact, there were one or two artworks which I quite liked, in particular the two extra large drawings which had some paint thrown in too. I wonder if Gwyneth was interested in the same ones?
I don’t think Ms Love is going to become a full time artist, and I know there were readers of this blog that didn’t like her style of art at all. But, for me anyway, I’m typically a fan of abstract and chaotic artworks and it seems Ms Paltrow is too. Now, more importantly, is this the start of a new BFF duo?

This story is weird. The tweet should have been an email (or at the very least, a direct message on Twitter). She just wants to brag that she knows Gwyneth Paltrow, which is weird. Plus I think I’ve seen that picture before- kinda feel like they hung out once and now Courtney is trying to act like they are bffs.
The alternative (that they really know each other, are friends, and GP loves her art enough to buy it) is just too weird for me to wrap my mind around.
Not that weird. If you knew anything about these ladies, you would know they have been friends for years and years.
Always thought they were a different yet sweet match.
@jane — Yeah, Courtney and Gwyneth have been friends for years … as weird as that may be.
Wow! I thought I knew a lot about Gwyneth, but I really had no idea about this friendship. I don’t know what to think about it!
Yea, I have been a Courtney fan since the beginning,and her and Gwen go waaaay back. She knows and is quite friendly with most of the “A” listers and hollywood big whigs. She even dated Edward Norton very seriously for several years, and people found that an odd match. I <3 her. Even in her chaos, she's amazing. I wish I could've seen the exhibit. After seeing her at every concert in Nyc since Hole made it's debut, I finally got to meet her 2 years ago when she played a smaall theater in Montclair, NJ. It was amazing. She came out hours after the show, sober and bare faced (no makeup)to get into the tour bus but took time to talk to us, sign autographs, take pics. She couldn't have been nicer, looked better or been more accomodating. Love Courtney.
Melissa sometimes you write stories and it seems like you don’t know that much about the subjects. Even me who I am not a fan of Gwyneth because of her mega pretentious ways know about her friendship with crazy Courtney for years. I have to say that Gwyneth appears to be a good non-judgmental friend as long as they are rich and famous.
Damn, Courtney looks rough. All pink & splotchy.
On a side note – isn’t Gwyneth also good buds with Madonna?
No longer BFF’s. Allegedly the husband of Gwyneth’s personal trainer mismanaged millions of dollars from Madonna’s Raising Malawi Foundation. Gwyneth continued her relationship with her personal trainer and are partners in fitness business ventures. Madonna never gave details about it but she said all the involved parties in the scandal would have to take responsibility for their actions.
