Courtney Love was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and she told him that when she was 9 or 10 years old she auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club. The reason why we didn’t know that until now is not only because she didn’t talk about it before now but because she auditioned under the name Coco Rodriguez. Coco was what she called herself back then and Rodriguez was her stepfather’s (at the time) last name. Could you imagine if she got on the show? Maybe she never would’ve married Kurt Cobain and we would have never had heard of her because no way would she have joined a band like Hole with the TMMC influence.
BTW she would not have been on the same Mickey Mouse Club as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Keri Russell because they weren’t born when she auditioned for the show.
