Courtney Love Goes on a Blogging Binge

Never one to seek attention (stop, reverse that), Courtney Love posted a record-breaking 58 blogs on Sunday, beating CMJ bloggers and Kanye's play-by-play diatribes alike. Granted, many of her posts were links to Style.com pics accompanied by a sentence or two about how she loves/hates a certain dress or designer or how she would've worn a specific item if it wasn't for such and such a reason. Going by the commentary, the links were probably intended to point to specific photos, but Love, unintentionally, mostly just linked to the start of the same few slideshows. The gist of it all? We're still not sure.

"Look at this! I was 198 [lbs.]? I've been 100 and 200 and always think I'm HOT in the mirror both ways," writes Love, linking to a photo that is, um, not her. "I have a majestic a-- and great shoulders, tits that defy gravity, I like 160 [lbs.] for rock, but that leaves out samples, so f--- no, I thank my gnarly DNA."

Nirvana Baby Gets Back in the Pool, Again

Back in the early '90s, an infant boy was dropped into a swimming pool and photographed underwater in his birthday onesie. That surreal image went on to become the cover art for arguably the most influential album of the whole decade, Nirvana's breakthrough LP, 'Nevermind.'

Now, the all-growed-up cover boy has gone back to the original pool in Pasadena, Calif. and recreated that image -- complete with the dollar bill fishing lure and a new accessory: shorts. Elden did a similar recreation in 2003 for Rolling Stone to commemorate the album's tenth anniversary. "Weird Al" Yankovic parodied the famous cover for his 'Off the Deep End' album.

Spencer Elden is now a 17-year-old high school student living in California. His parents were paid a mere $200 dollars for the image, taken by photographer Kirk Weddle. Speaking with MTV last year, Elden joked that it's "kind of creepy" that so many people have seen him naked. More than 10 million copies of the album have been sold, according to the RIAA, and millions more are just plain familiar with the iconic image. He added: "I feel like I'm the world's biggest porn star!"

Foo Fighters Celebrate Thanksgiving on 'Top Chef'

The Foo Fighters will be featured on a special Thanksgiving-themed edition of the Bravo hit TV show 'Top Chef.' Frontman Dave Grohl serves as a guest judge on the episode, titled 'Foo Fighters' Thanksgiving,' which airs Nov. 26. Grohl and his bandmates shot their appearance with star chef Grant Achatz during a Rochester, N.Y. tour stop this past summer.

In advance of the appearance, the band will release their 18-song DVD 'Live at Wembley Stadium' on Nov. 18. The project -- which boasts guest appearances by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page -- was shot on June 6 and 7 in London .

As for Thanksgiving with the Foos, we're picturing a lot of snickers and innuendos with any mention to stuffing the turkey.

Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard Survives Scorpion Attack

In the most recent 'Indiana Jones' flick, Dr. Jones tells his son that if he gets bit by a big scorpion, not too worry so much about its poison killing him. But if he gets bit by a small fella, "don't keep it to yourself." Thanks for the memo, Indy. Indie rocker Ben Gibbard must've been freaked out by that info last week, when he got bit by a small scorpion -- not once but twice.

It happened in Death Cab for Cutie's dressing room last Thursday night, right as Gibbard was putting on his show pants for a concert in San Diego. After getting examined by EMTs, it was determined that Gibbard would be fine. Bassist Nick Harmer posted a picture of the scorpion on the band's blog and writes, "He said he has scorpion power in his veins. I'm still not convinced that he is 100% fine because nobody eliminated the possibility that it was a radioactive scorpion and that Ben will now develop super powers."

Too bad this happened just hours before Halloween. Otherwise indie kids across the country would've had a great new idea for a superhero costume. We're just glad it went that way rather than ending in a Death Cab for Gibbard.

AC/DC's 'Black' Success Is a Sign of the 'Red' Times

We certainly don't need another sign of the tanking economy, but a British paper was kind enough to offer up one that rocks a little harder than the Dow: AC/DC's return to the top of the charts. The Guardian reports that the Aussie band's greatest successes coincide with downturns in the British economy, while the band's flops came during times of stability. It turns out that the U.S. followed suit as well. Need proof?

In 1980, 'Back In Black' sold millions of copies just as OPEC declared an oil embargo against western nations, quadrupling the cost of barrels, and stock markets around the world crashed. Although it still went platinum, 1985's 'Fly on the Wall' was comparably a failure, peaking at No. 32 on the U.S. charts, yet the economy was good enough for people to afford 'We Are the World' singles and Live Aid tickets. In 1990, the band returns to No. 2 on the charts with 'The Razor's Edge,' featuring 'Thunderstruck' and 'Moneytalks,' while the U.S. gets into Desert Storm and another recession, obliterating Bush Sr.'s "no new taxes" promise.

Frampton Comes Alive With Anger Over Stolen Obama Signs

Peter Frampton is fired up over the repeated theft of Barack Obama yard signs on his suburban Cincinnati property. The rocker blasted the culprits for "breaking the law" because his presidential pick "bugs them so much."

"They are frustrating my attempt to use my First Amendment right to speech, and political speech is supposedly the most protected," Frampton told the Cincinnati Enquirer this week.

The singer's first sign lasted for three days before being stolen. A second sign lasted a week. "I put up some more signs, and they are still there today, but I don't hold out much hope," Frampton said. As the interview was being conducted, a third sign disappeared.

Bryan Adams Hires Web Sheriff to Round up Renegade Fan Sites

Online fans of Bryan Adams who visit his Dutch fan site will get the following message: "At this moment, we are not able to show you the website." Clicks to other unofficial Adams websites will yield similar results. Or the page is "under construction." Or, as is the case for bryanadams.nu, they'll be a "problem loading page." Do not reset your server and don't panic -- it's been a minute since Adams topped the charts, but the Canadian rocker is still happily recording and touring. These days, he's also protecting his online rights.

The Register, a UK-based "Sci/Tech News" outlet, reports that Adams enlisted the services of Web Sheriff to round up unofficial Bryan Adams websites and issue warnings to their owners: take down any unlicensed material, make sure you're not violating any copyrights and delete any link that leads to unacceptable (pirate or malicious) sites. Last year, Prince hired Web Sheriff for similar but more aggressive enforcement. At Adams request, Web Sheriff is politely asking the owners of these fan pages to sign a rights agreement before re-launching their sites.

So far, most have been cooperative. After all, Bryan Adams fans have never been known as the rabble-rouser type.

Against Me! Frontman 'Glad to Be Alive' After Bus Crash

Against Me! frontman Tom Gabel is "glad to be alive" after the group's bus crash, which occurred in the early hours Wednesday on I-80 in Wyoming. The accident was caused when the vehicle hit a patch of ice en route to a Salt Lake City gig and spun out of control as its trailer broke free from its hitch, slamming the bus into a ditch in the median of the interstate.

"I woke to the sound of my friends screaming, various expletives, inarticulate gasps, the sensation of spinning and the sound of crashing inside and outside the bus," Gabel wrote on his blog late Wednesday night. "My eyes opened to blackness. I immediately pressed my hands and feet into the roof of my bunk as hard as I could, bracing for what I did not know."

Game On With the Beatles' Monopoly

Ever wondered what it would be like to play Monopoly in a Beatles world? Now you don't have to anymore: Games manufacturer USAopoly has just recently put out Monopoly: The Beatles Collector's Edition, the latest version of the popular board game with a Fab Four twist.

"It's a game designed for the Beatles fan specifically," says Maggie Matthews, USAopoly's Vice President of Marketing, to Spinner, "and we think it's a fun addition to that fan's memorabilia collection."

According to the product description, the goal here is to gives fans "the opportunity to create their own private anthology by collecting Beatles albums." Properties on the game board include every Beatles album released during the Fab Four's time together, from 'Please Please Me' to 'Abbey Road'; the spots where "income" and "luxury tax" are usually on the original game are now represented by the songs 'Taxman' and 'Ticket to Ride,' respectively. And the pewter tokens are shaped to represent references to Beatles songs including a hammer (from 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'), a walrus ('I Am the Walrus') and a strawberry ('Strawberry Fields Forever').

Eddie Vedder Goes on a Diet

Cover girls aren't the only folks concerned about, um, well, internal housekeeping if you will. Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder is trying one detoxification diet on for size: the Master Cleanse.

"I just finished touring, and I'm on a detox thing," Vedder discusses with 'W' star Josh Brolin in November's Interview magazine. "It's a heavy detox, so nothing in my belly except water, salt and cayenne pepper. I'm doing the Master Cleanse, which also means I'm not smoking. I haven't smoked for four days. This is probably the first phone conversation I've had in 10 years where I haven't had a smoke. It's like trying to talk without using adverbs."
