The death of George Carlin is being widely noted, but surely Courtney Love’s death deserved at least a passing mention. If only we could figure out when it happened. The 44-year-old rock widow and aspiring singer showed up in Malibu on Friday looking like death warmed over, or possibly death kept in the back of the refrigerator. Courtney claims to be suffering from stress related to the theft of her late husband’s ashes:

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. They were all I had left of him. Who has their husband’s ashes stolen?

So it’s stress that accounts for that healthy blue color. Alternatively, Courtney attributes her slender good looks to the diet that let her drop from 182 pounds to 130 last year. Whatever. Right now, Courtney is only 130 pounds short of a weight that I’d find optimally attractive for her, and I hope she sticks to that diet until she gets there.
