Braveheart is coming to TV
'You look like Taylor Lautner,' teacher tells student she seduced
Courtney Love says the Muppets raped her
Written by Vince Mancini / 03.13.12 Courtney Love at a launch party for her new fragrance, "Elegance"
Just weeks after Kim Novak took out a full-page ad in Variety saying “I’d like to report a rape” because of a Vertigo sample in The Artist, Courtney Love has become the latest public figure to accuse a film soundtrack of violating her. In this case, The Muppets, which Love says used a Nirvana song without her permission. For her part, Whoopi Goldberg says she isn’t sure if it was “rape” rape.
Courtney Love believes Kermit the Frog and his gang of Muppet friends “raped” the memory of her ex-husband Kurt Cobain — by bastardizing Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in their 2011 movie … without her permission.
I don’t know if those quotes mean Courtney Love actually used the word “rape,” but I wouldn’t put it past TMZ to invoke the image of a muppet gangbang just because. (Though it is Courtney Love we’re talking, it’s not out of the question).
Courtney says she has the absolute power to approve or nix the use of Kurt’s music for commercial purposes, and she never gave the OK for the 2 companies to use the song for the 2011 Muppets movie.
But there’s another side to this … We’re told Courtney sold off half of her rights to Kurt’s music to a company called Primary Wave Music. And there’s more … Courtney also gave Primary Wave the exclusive right to distribute Nirvana’s entire catalog.
As far as “Smells Like Teen Spirit” goes … not only did Primary Wave approve the use in the Muppet’s movie, they got permission from the two surviving Nirvana members — Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic. And Dave is even in the movie. [TMZ]
I’m not a lawyer, but it seems to me the guys who were actually in the band with the song writer would have more right to his music than the person who killed him. That seems like a bad precedent.
Here’s the song from the movie. It is a delight.
It’s hard to deny that Hollywood soundtracks seem to have a real rape epidemic on their hands. If you ask me, the real problem is the Archbishops, who hear these allegations and instead of taking action, just keep shuffling songs from playlist to playlist.

"Courtney Love says the Muppets raped her"
Judas Priest fondled the fuck out a Nirvana song.
What’s green and smells like pork?
Courtney Love’s crotch.
Courtney Love gives people like Yoko Ono a bad name.
Awesome, and deliciously accurate.
Not only Courtney gives Yoko a bad name also Debbie Harry and Celene Dion
Muppet rape will henceforth be known as Courtney Nonconsensual Love.
Todd Phillips is here for the Muppet gangbang. He will return next year for the almost identical Muppet Gangbang 2–The Bangover.
Nirvana was asking for it.
When you light the lights/it’s less dangerous
If you pay for it, is it still rape?
Oh, like anyone’s going to side with this bitch over the combined lovableness of the Muppets and Dave Grohl.
It could be a horrible blood-bath murder with a signed confession and 3 credible eyewitnesses who saw the whole thing go down – as long as
MeepersBeaker is involved no one’s being found guilty of nothingThis does explain why I saw Kevin Clash walking out of a CVS yesterday with a prescription for Valtrex.
Another week, another Courtney Love rape quote. Only she could make the word rape feel overused and unnecessary. Kind of like four consecutive sentences with rape in them. At least she is honest that her mind has been raped beyond even the healing powers of The Muppets.
A googly-eyed, felt face monster (who’s no stranger to having someone’s entire hand inside her) accused world-wide for tarnishing the memory of Kurt Cobain is now accusing the Muppets of tarnishing the already tarnished memory of Kurt Cobain? At this point, I’ll take Fozzie with the bikehorn or Vince with the *BRRAAAAAAAHHMM!*
I wouldn’t rape Courtney Love with one of Gonzo’s cocks.
FACT: The Drive soundtrack can have its way with me anytime
She’s had more hands inside her than all the muppets combined.
Picturing Courtney Love’s vagina inevitably brings a comparison to the mouth of one of the aliens from Alien. Hopefully with enough acid to vaporize your hand/penis. You won’t want them anymore anyways…
Hey Courtney Love, there were two other guys in Nirvana. I think the success of The Foo Fighters is testament to the fact that Kurt Cobain wasn’t the entire band and the hole he was sticking his teen spirit into shouldn’t have a say over who can interpret Nirvana’s music.
How can you accuse the muppets of rape when they’ve had someone’s fist up their asses the whole time?
I believe that’s what’s known as a Muppet DP.
So the Muppets raped Courtney Love and didn’t even have the decency to smash her teeth in and threaten to kill her if she ever told anyone?
