Courtney Love, widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, says she plans to sell most of his belongings.
“I’m going to have a Christie’s auction,” Love, 42, tells AOL music Web site Spinner.com. “(My house) is like a mausoleum.”Love and Cobain wed in 1992 and had a daughter, Frances Bean, that year. Cobain committed suicide in 1994.
“My daughter doesn’t need to inherit a giant … bag full of flannel … shirts,” says Love, former frontwoman of the rock band Hole. “A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to `(Smells Like) Teen Spirit’ — that’s what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we’ll just … sell.”
No date has been set for the auction, AOL publicist Kurt Patat told The Associated Press on Monday.
Love, whose upcoming album is titled, “Nobody’s Daughter,” says friends support the idea.
“Everyone’s been positive and behind me on it,” she says. “We’ll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity.”
She’ll have a chance to move on from Cobain, too.
“I still wear his pajamas to bed. How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt’s pajamas?”

I took this picture yesterday. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Magic Kingdom so I was surprised to see the north wing building at The Contemporary is now completely demolished and moved away. This sets the stage for their building of the new Disney Vacation Club building.

These are just a few of the seven action features straight from the movie as you battle for control of the seas. Figures sold separately

Yesterday at the Magic Kingdom I noticed the “ring” just outside the Haunted Mansion ride, that was covered over with cement recently, is visible again.
I think the cast members need to stop messing with the bride’s ring. It’s apparent she doesn’t like it covered up.

Don “Ducky” Williams is a “character illustrator” who has
been with Disney for 27 years—and who has been in his
current office in Celebration for about six.
Williams’ paintings of Disney characters adorn much
of the company’s advertising. If you’ve seen
a billboard with a Disney character on it, chances are it’s
one of his.
Orlando Magazine has a feature online profiling the offices of local residents. I found this one the most interesting. I’m sure he could make some money giving tours of his home office if he wanted to. Click the link to read the whole article.

News I received from an attendee at the “Behind Closed Doors” at the Orlando Tourist Board Meeting, held at the Orange County Convention Center, on Tuesday, April 24th.:
Aparrently, Universal Studios have admitted that the New Simpsons Ride will be a very cheap re-fit of the Back to the Future Ride, incorporating existing fittings, especially the cars.
The overhaul and relaunch of the ride is to be as cheap as possible due to NBC’s Minimal Spend approach.
This would be similar to the Jimmy Neutron Ride, which replaced Hanna Barbera a few years back!
What a surprise. I can’t wait to see what a Delorean looks like painted pink and banged up to resemble Homer Simpson’s car.
