COURTNEY Love has shocked again by posing as the Virgin Mary while cradling a dying lookalike of her late husband Kurt Cobain – supposed to depict Jesus Christ. The troubled one-time Hole frontwoman modelled for the cover shot for fashion and celebrity photographer David LaChapelle’s new book of images, Heaven To Hell. The picture is based on the well-known image of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. Courtney wears a blue dress the same colour as Mary’s robes. And she is depicted nursing a dying man who looks like Jesus. He also bears more than a passing resemblance to former Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain who killed himself with a shotgun in 1994. But instead of crucifixion wounds, the man has similar wounds on his arm that could be seen to represent syringe injection marks. There are also a stack of pills and medicines on a table in the shot. After Kurt’s death, enough heroin to kill three people was found in his system. Instead of a loincloth the man wears branded underpants and he is blonde, just like Kurt. It’s not the first time Courtney has shocked. She’s led a well-documented battle against drug abuse and flashed her boobs on David Letterman’s American chat show. Last year it was rumoured she was pregnant with Alan Partridge creator Steve Coogan’s baby. The picture of her is the cover shot for the third volume in David’s trilogy of books.
Bizarre
That picture is just so wrong, there is nothing I can say I like about it. I have always said that she used her husband’s death to become a household name, and this futher proves my statement.
