Courtney to auction off Kurt’s stuff
Courtney Love plans to sell former husband Kurt Cobain‘s belongings, twelve years after the Nirvana frontman committed suicide. “I’m going to have a Christie’s auction,” Love told spinner.com. “[My house] is like a mausoleum. My daughter doesn’t need to inherit a giant Hefty bag full of flannel f***ing shirts. A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to Teen Spirit – that’s what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we’ll just f***ing sell… Everyone’s been positive and behind me on it. We’ll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity.” An rep for AOL, which runs spinner.com, announced today that no date has been set for the auction. Although Love has had a few boyfriends since Cobain’s death, including actor Edward Norton, she says he’s still a big part of her life. “I still wear his pajamas to bed,” she says. “How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt’s pajamas?”

Britney’s secret gig canceled
Britney Spears‘s secret comeback gig has been postponed. The singer had been working hard for a gig at Forty Deuce in LA last Wednesday, but canceled at the last minute. “She wants to get back to performing on a small scale before she gets back in front of a big crowd,” says a source of Spears’s choice of venue for the show. Details are not known about the cause of the cancellation, but insiders speculate it was management-related, and that someone decided the popstar wasn’t quite ready. As reported late last week, Spears is scheduled to perform three shows this week in San Diego, Anaheim, and on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood.
Elisabeth is pregnant; Roseanne suggested as co-host
More news from The View… Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck announced this morning that she is pregnant with her second child. “Like, I’m totally three months pregnant,” Hasselbeck said on today’s show. “I figured that we’re going to be lonely without you,” she said to fellow host Rosie O’Donnell. “So, Tim and I thought we should get busy and maybe make a little co-host.” Hasselbeck and her husband, football quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, will welcome the baby in November. The couple have a two-year-old daughter, Grace, and don’t plan to find out the new baby’s gender until the birth. ABC released the news in a statement just prior to the airing of this morning’s show. In other View news, sources say Roseanne Barr is reportedly the top contender to take Rosie O’Donnell’s spot on the show next year, though Barr’s rep denies the story. “She’s a piece of work, she’s a character, she says what’s on her mind and she’s funny,” says an insider. Barr avoided directly answering the question when asked by Larry King last week. “I’m not looking for the job,” she told the CNN host. “Well, I want $10 million, like Rosie.” Since O’Donnell announced her plans to leave the show last week, several big names have been circulating as possible replacements, including Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Kathie Lee Gifford, Connie Chung, Bette Midler and Kathy Griffin.

Boy George arrested for assaulting gay escort
80s popstar Boy George (whose real name is George O’Dowd) has been arrested in charges of assault and false imprisonment in London after a male escort told police he was grabbed and chained to a wall in the singer’s apartment. The escort told a British newspaper he was invited to O’Dowd’s home after meeting on a gay website and agreed to pose for photos in kinky outfits for $890. O’Dowd and another man are accused of jumping the man and handcuffing him to a hook, and after the second man left, O’Dowd allegedly brought out sex toys and whips and told the escort, “Now you’ll get what you deserve.” The man said he was able to yank the hook out of the wall and ran to the nearest newsstand to call the cops dressed in underwear and a T-shirt. “I was convinced I was going to die,” the man told a British paper. O’Dowd has been released on bail.
