[shangri__la]

On the WTF Podcast, Courtney Love says she was fired as Marla in 'Fight Club' because she wouldn't let Brad Pitt play Kurt Cobain in a movie.

She also says Lana Del Rey and Kurt Cobain are "the only two true musical geniuses" she’s ever known.https://t.co/McqS4zUAfM

Even in his younger years I can't imagine him as Kurt looks-wise or was someone else gonna play him.

"Van Sant apparently told Love while Pitt wasn’t around that Pitt was guarded about his sexuality. “You know how he is about his sexuality,” Van Sant told Love."

lol deets Courtney

this is the gossip I want

This is my friend’s friend on a bike stuff, but my cousin was an aesthetician for years and she worked with someone who worked on movies etc. Anyway, she was talking about him being bisexual and seeing men while married to Jennifer Aniston. Like, being on dates with men with Jen and touching under the table. A thing she supposedly saw with her own een. And this gossip was shared with me when he and Jen were still married. So, I dunno. Just sharing unsubstantiated rumours like we do around here.

i would love this unsubstantiated rumour with almost any other man!

courtney love is my favorite problematic bae, tbh.

Neither are good ppl but Pitt is a wife beater and played the world's worst performance of Louis in Interview vs Hole having a great discography so I know whose side I'd rather pick lmao

On the Fight Club episode of The Rewatchables podcast they said that Reese Witherspoon was actually the first choice for the role of Marla, which blows my mind. Her 1999 could have included Cruel Intentions, Election, and Fight Club.

Anyway Brad Pitt sucks, fuck him.

And followed it up with American Psycho! Reese is so good in darker roles, she could have been great in this

IKR. Such a great movie

The funny thing is that everyone mentioned in this post sucks, so I don’t care about anyone’s feelings here.

Pitt as Kurt is laughable, tho. She made the right decision on that.

I take any of Courtney's stories with a huge rock of salt.

[skekzok]

she was pretty brave to openly comment about Harvey Weinstein when she did

[lizrocks]

A rock of... 'salt'

[caramelaffair]

Same. I had a hard time believing a lot of what she says
