American singer Courtney Love is said to be "infatuated" with Salman Rushdie after striking a blossoming friendship with him.
The 47-year-old American singer was pictured with the 64-year-old Indian-British novelist at a New York literary event, and were later seen “flirting heavily”.
"She finds him intellectually thrilling. She regularly quotes classic literature and is a huge fan of Salman’s work," the Mirror quoted a source close to the singer as saying.
"She is infatuated with Salman. He truly is her ideal chap.
"She is looking for love, while Salman’s an incorrigible flirt and willing to see how their friendship develops," the source added.
Rocker Courtney Love has sensationally claimed that she bedded supermodel Kate Moss in Milan, Italy.
The widow of Nirvana star Kurt Cobain had dropped hints weeks ago about a tryst with a female pin-up, who she claimed chased her round a room, leading to a sex session.
And in a startling new magazine interview, the 45-year-old singer has now claimed, "It was Kate Moss. She doesn't care."
Love has also alleged that many of her female friends in London had slept with Kate. "It's a great story for the grandchildren, so yeah. Kate wasn't doing a lot of drugs. It was just a thing that happened in Milan in the Nineties,” the Sun quoted her as saying.
"It happened and it was fun and whatever. And she talks about it and so I hope she doesn't get mad that I outed her about it. I feel like such a kiss and tell. Kate's great, though! Kate's a good friend of mine. I almost bought her house in St John's Wood, London," she added.
Rocker Courtney Love has posted topless pictures of herself on the website Twitter so that her fans can have a look at her new tattoos.
The widow of rock legend 'Kurt Cobain' showed off a series of flowers dotted around her body while protecting her modesty with a hand over her chest.
Love also uploaded a photo of her wincing under the needle with the tattooist at work.
The singer, famed for her yo-yo dieting, looked very slim in the snaps with a flat tum and skinny arms.
Love had recently lost the legal guardianship of her daughter Frances Bean Cobain, 17 and reports suggest that the singer is relapsing into her drug addictions.
As if that's not enough to deal with, the 'Malibu' star has also been busy defending her right to release new album Nobody's Daughter under the name Hole.
Love is insistent on using the name, despite recording the album without any former 'Hole' members.
Courtney Love is having a "mini-war" with cigarettes.
The former Hole singer, who was advised to give up her 40-a-day habit after
doctors found pre-op nodules on her throat, admits she is struggling to
quit.
Courtney, 42, wrote on moonwashedrose.com: "I'm going thru (sic) hell trying
to cut back on smoking.
"I'm down to a pack a day from two, but it's a pain and each fight of the
urge is a little mini war.
"The doctor guessed exactly how much I smoke too and told me I'll have to
get surgery.
"I'm trying to get to half a pack a day and then quit when I get to 10. I
think of all I've been through and I can do this."
The former heroin addict has already showed impressive willpower this year
after Courtney Love lost over 50lbs, which she accredits to yoga and a macrobiotic
diet.
Courtney has slammed reports she has lost too much weight.
She said: "I noted - 'cos my kid bought it - I was on the cover of a
magazine and they said I was 115lbs!
"I couldn't walk if I was 115lbs. I'm a big girl with big shoulders and ribs
and health is really important to me. Hugely."
Courtney has a 14-year-old daughter Frances Bean with the late Nirvana
frontman Kurt Cobain.
The Daily News is saying that Bruce Willis was making out with Courtney Love at the Roxy, where Amy Winehouse was performing and later partying with Love. Rumor has it, Amy turned down Bruce... so Courtney was sloppy seconds? Talk about an odd coupling
