Courtney Love has told NME.com that all that stuff she reportedly said about Steve Coogan is rubbish, but more importantly, has said that she's all ready to start work on that previously reported second solo album this month with producer Linda Perry.
On the content for the long player Love said: "I don't generally talk about what the songs are about, but I will say that in the gutters of this earth you can always find love. In the darkest alley and the lowest moment there is always that thing that glitters just a little bit, no matter how twisted or deadly or violent. It's there, magical and transformative. I've written a lot about that."
On Coogan, she added: "We're friends and he's funny as fuck and very cool. But he's not my boyfriend and if he was I sure as hell would never talk about it. My private life is my private life. I'll say one thing. I'm fucking sick of fucking tabloids, I don't talk to them and I don't like them."
She is, however, very fond of comedians, apparently. Love continued: "Ever since I worked with Jim Carrey [on Andy Kaufman movie 'Man On The Moon'] I've related really well to comedians. I think our jobs are really similar and I'm drawn to people as friends who aren't afraid to go to the edge. A lot of times rockers are trying to be cool so much they forget that the fundamental job is to be as vulnerable as possible. Really good comedians are sometimes more rock 'n' roll than rock 'n' rollers."
