In 2015 Kurt Cobain’s family will give him a fitting tribute with the first-ever fully authorized documentary about the Nirvana singer: “Montage of Heck.”
A jury ordered The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Lisa Vanderpump to pay $100,000 in a lawsuit brought forward by former employee Karina Bustillos. Lisa Vanderpump, Dog Scoff at Verdict Lisa Vanderpump was shocked to learn the verdict in a sexual harassment lawsuit brought forth by Bustillos, a waitress at her restaurant Villa Blanca. Bustillos went to court after she was allegedly “manhandled” by another staff member on Lisa Vanderpump’s payroll – the manager, Michael Govia. A jury decided to hold Villa Blanca at fault and has hereby ordered Bustillos be paid $100,000 in punitive damages as a result of the alleged harassment. Lisa Vanderpump’s attorney, outraged at the verdict, plans to file an appeal, saying “We are in absolute shock at the amount of punitive damages that were awarded. “Especially in light of nominal compensatory damages awarded and the lack of evidence … We plan to file an appeal and are confident that we will prevail.” According to reports, the waitress was allowed to go after Villa Blanca for punitive damages because the jury “found the restaurant acted with malice.” No one, however, expected that Bustillos would be awarded such a large sum of money. Bustillos was happy with the verdict, though … not surprisingly. Lisa Vanderpump might be outraged on principle, but if you watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online , what’s a hundred grand to this woman? Heck, she might spend that much to hire best legal team in the country just to appeal this verdict to death and win simply for the sake of winning. She and beloved dog Jiggy didn’t seem too concerned in the video above. Regardless, apparently Kyle Richards and Brandi Glanville aren’t the only ones hating on Lisa.

In a bizarre interview published last week, Lana Del Rey glamorized premature death , and hinted that she’d like to emulate her idols Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain by not living to see 30. Naturally, a lot of people took offense to this mind-blowingly foolish statement, and one of the critics of Lana’s comments knows all too well about the pain that can be caused by one person’s reckless disregard for their own health and well-being. Frances Cobain lost her father – legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – when she was just a year old. Lana Del Rey: I Wish I Was Dead! The young artist was understandably upset by Lana’s comments and has made her feelings clear on Twitter: “@LanaDelRey the death of young musicians isn’t something to romanticize,” Cobain tweeted. “I’ll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because people like you think it’s ‘cool.'” “Well it’s not,” Cobain continued. “Embrace life, because you only get one life. The ppl you mentioned wasted that life.” Wow. Surprisingly insightful comments from 21-year-old – particularly one partially raised by Cobain’s notoriously troubled widow, Courtney Love. Recently, a new note found at the scene of Cobain’s death seemed to suggest that the marriage between the two singers was a deeply hostile one. Shortly thereafter, Love’s father suggested she was involved in Cobain’s death . Needless, to say it remains an ugly situation more than 20 years after Cobain’s death, so it’s plain to see why Frances might object to someone romanticizing her troubled family. It should be noted, however, that Lana has accused The Guardian of misquoting her in the controversial interview in question. 7 Iconic Photos of Kurt Cobain 1.

In the event you were under a rock, there was a Hurrican Sandy concert to raise money for the 200 dead and destruction caused by the Hurricane, that featured every top British act from the 60s- Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Pink Floydd, Led Zepplin I don’t fucking know the line up…I just know some celebs were manning the phones, and I called a dozen times, not to donate but for phone sex, and didn’t get one…. The biggest news, was that Paul McCartney was going to play Kurt Cobain in a Nirvana reunion….andI don’t really care who plays Kurt Cobain, I just woulda rather seen Courtney Love shitting on stage like she was G.G. Allin, you know cuz the guilt of having Kurt Cobain killed for her own career has driven her to rock fucking bottom….and rock fucking bottom is more fun to watch than a 70 year old music legend singing 90s grunge…but I guess it’s kinda cool…even if I was only into one Nirvana song and that was because it was a Leadbelly song…and slave music from the 30s speaks to me more than teen angst from Seattle in the early 90s…but anyway you look at it, this performance ooozes talent…here’s the video.

If Quentin Tarantino ‘s demonstrative hand gestures don’t distract you too much, here’s an interesting clip in which the Django Unchained director discusses the influence that crime novelist Elmore Leonard had on his formative years as a screenwriter and filmmaker, as well as his appreciation of actress Pam Grier. Rolling Stone posted this exclusive video , which is part of the bonus material included in Tarantino XX , a 10-disc Blu-Ray box set that collects the eight movies from the first 20 years of his career: Reservoir Dogs , True Romance, Pulp Fiction , Jackie Brown , both Kill Bill films, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds . In what appears to be a Film Independent Q&A on Tarantino’s 1997 film Jackie Brown , which was adapted from a Leonard novel, the filmmaker explains that he used to read the writer’s books and “adapt them into movies in my mind,” asking himself: “How would I turn this into a movie?” He adds that engaging in that mental exercise, “years before I could ever afford to make a movie, really..helped me with my structure.” There’s also a curious moment at the end of the clip where Tarantino talks about wanting “to be Josef von Sternberg” to Pam Grier’s “Dietrich.” While I appreciate Tarantino’s appreciation of Grier’s talent, I think that line says more about him than her. Von Sternberg made the little known Marlene Dietrich a star when he cast her in The Blue Angel and then worked with her for five more films. Grier was hardly an unknown when Tarantino began working with her. Thanks to her roles in Coffy and Foxy Brown , Grier was already a cult icon. Tarantino merely reminded us of that. He also didn’t exactly make her a star. [ Rolling Stone ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
Now it’s Courtney Love ‘s turn to tell her story about her husband Kurt Cobain and she’s turning to a medium she knows well, even if it has at times not been to her liking. The Hole musician has approached filmmaker Brett Morgan to do a Cobain documentary, a project that has been under discussion since 2007. “Courtney is the one that brought me into this,” said Morgan, whose Rolling Stones doc Crossfire Hurricane premiered at the BFI London Film Festival last month. “We’ve been trying to find the right time to put tho film together and the time is now.” Morgan, who spoke to the New York Post said they’re eyeing a 2014 release. Rumors swirled that a Broadway musical based on the Nirvana catalogue recently when once close Britney Spears protégé Sam Lufti testified under oath that he and Love were working on a possible stage or motion picture project based on the grunge artist who died of a self-inflicted gunshot in 1994. “There will be no musical,” Love later told The Observer. “Sometimes it’s best just to leave things alone.” Nevertheless, a doc is underway at least for now, and it will take the form of a “third-person autobiography,” Morgan said. “[As] if Kurt was around and making a film about his life…Kurt was not only an amazing songwriter and musician, he was an incredible artist and film-maker.” Kurt Cobain left behind a wealth of recordings even beyond his music, some of which played out in a 2006 documentary, Kurt Cobain About a Son by AJ Schnack, which Love did not sanction. Cobain and Love were both the subjects in the 1998 doc Kurt & Courtney by Nick Broomfield, which Love allegedly tried to axe from the Sundance Film Festival ahead of its premiere. Never-before seen footage of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love in their private life turned up in the 2011 doc Hit So Hard by P. David Ebersole, which followed the story of Hole drummer Patty Schemel, which Love cooperated with. On the non-doc side, Gus van Sant fictionalized a parallel Kurt Cobain story in his 2005 feature Last Days , which starred Michael Pitt as the would-be Nirvana frontman. [ Source: The Guardian ]
