Courtney Love, aka “the grunge version of Yoko Ono,” has found yet another way to endear herself to her hordes of fans. The largely talent-free trainwreck has signed on as an executive producer for a planned Kurt Cobain biographical film based on Charles Cross’ biography Heavier than Heaven. Courtney’s attorney Howard Weitzman is another executive producer, just to make sure this puppy is nailed down tight.

Not that Courtney has any reason to expect problems. The later portions of Cross’ book were widely viewed as a collaboration between Cross and Courtney, and one friend of Kurt’s described it as “the Courtney-sanctioned version of history.” Also, the book is being adapted for the screen by David Benioff, whose previous ventures into biographical screenwriting include the eagerly awaited X-Men Origins: Wolverine. So we’re unlikely to see a repeat of the problems that led Courtney to crush Nick Broomfield like a bug when he suggested that Courtney was a less than model wife in a less than storybook marriage. And, after all, a sanitized and highly favorable screen bio is all Courtney needs to clear up her image problems, isn’t that right?
