Probably so she can promote her new movie that comes out this weekend. They don`t mention her in the commercials, just Kevin Bacon & Charlize Theron, even though she`s a main character apparently.
The movie is Trapped. I just saw an ad for it that doesn't involve Courney Love at all, but I checked it out, and yes she is Kevin Bacon's accomplice in the movie.
Ugh.

It was almost too believable
She was acting? I've always assumed she really WAS a crack whore.
I think that letting an artist pick the programming for a day is a cool idea, but they could have picked someone more interesting than Courtney Love.

It's also all about the demographics I think. Courtney will apparently pull in those 24-40 year olds feeling nostalgic for her glory ye... ummm her husband's glory years.

Among some of the cool videos they played were some video that had Winona Ryder lipsnyching and Dirk Diggler's friend from Boogie Nights playing the drums, Pavement's "Cut Your Hair, and one of the coolest videos ever, "Crush on Eyeliner" from REM. I didn't see that one in years, and that was always one of my favorites.
JON MUTHAFUCKIN SPENCER MUTHAFUCKIN BLUES MUTHAFUCKIN EXPLOSION!
That video's all balls out #1 and the best, I'm tellin ya. Right now, they're replaying the early morning wackiness while Courtney naps. Better yet, play some more fucking balls out videos.

I saw her play The Clash - Clampdown live, Fountains of Wayne - Radiation Vibe, R.E.M. - Crush with Eyeliner, Radish - Little Pink Stars, Garbage - Queer, and probably more I can`t think of.
VH-1 Classic was having a "We Are the 80's" weekend, so that won out over Ms. Love. I stuck a couple of tapes in and let 'em fly.
That was a cool idea to have someone take over the channel for a day. I had that fantasy many moons ago of being able to take over MTV for 24 hrs and show some good stuff. A full hour of 'Mats and solo stuff. A full hour of Matthew Sweet. They'd never let me do it again.
The 60's Generation Rock Fest - 70's & 80's metalish stuff Pop Show - 80's pop (Michael Jackson, Prince, etc.) All-Star Jams - Mostly 60's and 70's and mostly live type stuff We Are the 80's - Just what it says, except it usually shows those videos that MTV showed when it first came on (of course, growing up in the sticks I didn't have MTV so I'm guessing here). Some weird, cool & forgotten shit is usually shown here. Too cool

BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST: Jenny Lewis gets a vote because she was one of the stars of my favorite short-lived TV series, Shannon's Deal. Gnarls Barkly gets the other because "Crazy" is a good record and I liked the Gray Album.
