Seems that preliminary talks have been going on to get Courtney Love to replace Paula Abdul as a judge of American Idol talent. Ms. Abdul if you recall is still on the show even after influencing the decision on a contestant that she also slept with a year or two ago. The fact she's still here is just short of incredible, and proves the old adage it's not what you know.  

At first I was thinking this new twist is likewise just short of incredulous.  Courtney knows what it takes to be a professional musician? Really? I can hardly sit through her music without conjuring up words like 'CD frisbees', 'gag reflex' and 'projectile vomit'.

...And I'll listen to almost anything.

Then it dawned on me. Sure, she has zero natural talent. That's a given. But maybe she'd be OK on AI. She hooked up with the late Mr. Cobain after all. It's entirely possible that she has some inate ability to recognize talent.
