The ashes of Kurt Cobain have been stolen from Courtney Love. The singer kept the ashes in a pink teddy bear bag along with a lock of his hair. A few weeks ago Courtney was robbed of not only the ashes, but of Jewelry and clothing as well. She stated, “I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me. I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal. If I don’t get them back I don’t know what I’ll do. They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me. Now it feels like I have lost him all over again.”

Tim McGraw invited 9-year-old Luke Wood onstage Friday night to sing with him during a concert in Oklahoma City. His mother told People magazine, “My son Luke has been a fan since he was 3 years old and always has said that he was going to sing with Tim McGraw someday. He made a simple sign, ‘Can I sing with you?’ And brought it with us. I was completely shocked when Tim started singing ‘Last Dollar (Fly Away)’ and motioned for him to come forward. Before I knew it he was whisked onstage, Tim handed him a mic and began singing with Luke.” She adds that she doesn’t know how she will top that birthday gift.

At the time he said, “I tell myself that I created the wardrobe of the contemporary woman, that I participated in the transformation of my times. For a long time now, I have believed that fashion was not only supposed to make women beautiful, but to reassure them, to give them confidence, to allow them to come to terms with themselves.”
