COURTNEY LOVE IS HAVING A SALE

Courtney Love has three wealthy buyers interested in purchasing her late husband Kurt Cobain's belongings.The widow of the Nirvana rocker revealed this week she is planning to sell off his possessions so she can move on with her life, and has already been flooded with offers.Courtney wrote on her blog: "I've been approached by several private collectors - and I'd prefer that to a whole kerfuffle of an auction and scattering to the four winds his very few guitars and sweaters. "Most will go to charity since the money isn't what I'm that interested in, but it's really an exchange of energy."Obviously we'll keep more than enough of his stuff - his monkey collection - things that mattered to him for Franny and her family."Franny is Courtney and Kurt's 14-year-old daughter (upper right), Frances Bean.The iconic musician's belongings include guitars, amplifiers, clothes, poems, lyrics and some of his hair.Courtney said: "Obviously I'll keep some but lots of it is, maybe, too morbid. There are copies of many of his lyrics, and casts I had made of his hands."The former Hole singer discussed the sale with Kurt's mother before she went ahead with her plans.She revealed: "I love his mother but she has been taken advantage of, in my opinion, and from now on, after our discussion, she will be represented by proper lawyers."When people approach her for his childhood things she can maximize her income in these transactions."

KID LOVER MICHAEL JACKSON WANTS JACKSON FAMILY AUCTION STOPPED

Michael Jackson is considering legal action to stop his personal memorabilia being included in a Jackson family auction. Over 1,100 Jackson family items are due to be sold in 'The Jacksons Auction' at Las Vegas Hard Rock hotel on May 30 and 31, but the 'Thriller' singer wants to stop the sale, according to Associated Press. Michael's spokeswoman Raymone K. Bain said: "Mr. Jackson was not aware and he is extremely upset that his memorabilia was included."Guernsey's auction house said items include Michael Jackson's gold record for his 'Thriller' album, handwritten lyrics for The Jackson Five hit 'ABC'and a 'Victory Tour' program signed by the Jacksons. There is also a test pressing of The Jackson Five's 'I Want You Back', Marlon Jackson's glitter jacket, Randy Jackson's futuristic 1984 stage boots and a white fedora believed to be from Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album music video.The collection was owned by Florida luggage transportation company Universal Express Inc, which bought it last year from a New Jersey construction company owner. The former owner, Henry Vaccaro, claimed a warehouse full of Jackson memorabilia during a bankruptcy case. Michael and his sister Janet sued to stop Vaccaro from taking ownership, but a Los Angeles judge threw Michael's claim out of court last year. The status of Janet's claim is still unclear.
