Courtney Love (a.k.a. “Old Madonna in 1920’s” pinstripes above) claims that the ashes of her late husband Kurt Cobain were stolen. Get this. The ashes were stored in… A pink teddy bear bag with a lock of Kurt’s hair. Supposedly, it was taken from her house along with thousands of dollars in jewelry, according to News of the World:

Courtney said: “I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me. I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal. If I don’t get them back I don’t know what I’ll do.”
The sad news will sicken the millions of Cobain and Nirvana fans worldwide.

What’s weirder, the fact that Cobain’s ashes were stolen, or the fact that zombie Madonna here keeps them in a pink teddy bear bag…with hair?

I kept some cash and skittles in a blow-up doll once, but that was an emergency. And hey, Courtney, you’ve clearly been dead a long time already. I haven’t seen so much jibber-jabber from a zombie since Vincent Price introduced horror movies in the 70’s.

Just what I’m sure Kurt would have wanted – his own signature shoes.

According to several reports, Converse is about to release a collection of shoes that feature sketches and other scribbling from Kurt Cobain’s personal notebooks.

The shoes are estimated to be released in May as part of a 100-year celebration for Converse. Wow, Chuck Taylor All Stars were invented all the way back in 1917!

Converse plans to roll out other stories of the true “originals” who have worn the brand throughout the year. Other deceased pop culture icons featured in the Converse campaign include Ian Curtis of Joy Division, writer Hunter S Thompson and Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious.

All of us probably owned a pair of Chucks at some point in our lives, but this seems a little messed up to me. I can only guess that this will bring Converse its own fair share of criticism.

NirvanaClub has some pictures of the shoes here.
