on a European tour with NECROPHAGIST and MISERY INDEX beginning on February

Love For Idol |
PR reports: Turns out that the producers of
American Idol are not on crack after all. They deny ever offering Courtney
Love a spot as a karaoke judge on the show. Seems Courtney may have been
punked and some are just calling it a hoax, which is really too bad because
the ironic and comedic value of Courtney Love telling someone that they
can't sing would have been priceless. So it looks like Paula "What Randy
Said" Abdul will be keeping her job for a while longer. But if she has
to go, maybe Yoko is available?- Click
