Courtney Love: the unlikeliest comeback story of the year? The Hole frontwoman, onetime critical darling and '90s cultural icon has been racking up an impressive number of acting credits lately, from recurring guest arcs on shows like "Sons of Anarchy," "Revenge" and "Empire" to her new role in the James Franco-directed feature "The Long Home," an adaptation of the 1999 William Gay novel about a young carpenter (Josh Hutcherson) who's contracted to build a honky-tonk by the man who murdered his father ten years earlier (Tim Blake Nelson). As reported yesterday, Love is set to play the wife of Nelson's antagonistic character in the 1940s Tennessee-set drama, which represents her first feature-film credit since -- are you ready? -- the 2002 thriller "Trapped" co-starring Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon. Could this be the beginning of a new chapter in Love's career? It's a little too early to make any grand pronouncements,...

Live Through This: Courtney Love has joined "Sons of Anarchy" Season 7. Her countless personal foibles aside, ever since my first exposure to Hole's landmark 1994 album I've been a fierce advocate of C-Love - for my money one of the most mercurially captivating performers of this or any age. As a matter of fact, she was recently featured in HitFix's "Career Comebacks We're Dying To See" gallery - a fortuitous pick on my part considering she's now set to enjoy a "pivotal, multi-episode arc" on the long-running FX series as - get this - a "straight-shooting preschool teacher." Oh god, yes. But of course, I get it: the majority of our readers probably won't count C-Love's "SoA" casting as good news (just waiting for the shameless "She Killed Kurt" believers to come out of the woodwork). But hey, Dave Grohl forgave her, so why can't the rest of you? Here...

I have to admit I don't know much about the book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, except that it's written by a blogger named Tucker Max, who supposedly offers true accounts of his drunken antics and sexual encounters to the delight of douchebags and meatheads the world over. Somehow he managed to talk Richard Kelly into producing a movie based on the book through Darko Entertainment, and now here we are, looking at the first trailer. I was somewhat interested based on the fact that it sounded like an edgy, independent film that would be getting a decent release, but after watching the trailer I'm not convinced that this will be anything other than a generic, mildly shocking sex comedy. I suspect that the appeal of Max's stories come from his writing style and the fact that they at least feel like they could be true. None of...
