Miley Cyrus did the unthinkable at her concert in Ecuador last week — and it was all caught on video!

Apparently someone told this chipmunk that she had the chops to pull off Nirvana’s famous song, Smells Like Teen Spirit. This is just not fair to Kurt Cobain’s memory or his legacy.

For comparison purposes, here is the legend themselves:

Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death and Jared Leto showed off a video of himself impersonating the fallen idol.

He really got into character and sang Pennyroyal Tea and he’s actually pretty good. Rumor has it that this was his audition video for Kurt’s rumored biopic.

Check out the video, below and let us know if you think he would make a good Kurt for the movie.

Jared posted this under the description of the video:

I heard today (April 5) was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can’t believe it’s been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I’d be doing this if it weren’t for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I’d share it now…

RIP Kurt Cobain (2/20/67 – 4/5/94)

After legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain passed away, Courtney Love reportedly said that she considered snorting his ashes.

According to author Neil Strauss, he was with Courtney when she introduced him to Kurt’s ashes. Weird. But it’s Courtney we’re talking about here…Expect weirdness. This is a woman who bought a dead bird to stuff in a box and called it “art.”

In his new book, Neil alleges that Courtney suggested snorting Kurt’s ashes and was “serious when she made the suggestion.”

Madness. Thankfully, she came to her senses. I mean, who snorts the ashes of their dead husband????

I knew there was a good reason for me to like Robert Pattinson. And I’m not talking about him playing some sparkly teen-angsty vampire in Twilight.

When Courtney Love heard the rumors about Robert playing her late husband, she called the situation “stupid” and “just wrong”, but now, Rob is hitting back!

He said, “I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much – I’d be embarrassed [to play Kurt Cobain]. I didn’t get offered it. For one thing, I’m too tall, and I can’t sing like him, I’m nothing like him. It’s ridiculous.”

Even though he knows he would be completely wrong for the role, he was still upset that Courtney dissed him to the media. He added, “You see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying, ‘What the f*ck! He’s totally wrong for it’, and I’m like, ‘I f*cking said no, you d*ck!”

Snap! I bet she gets terminal diarrhea of the mouth over this one.

Courtney Love is still using Kurt’s name for her benefit nuts. Apparently, for her Behind The Music special on VH1, she talked about how strung out Kurt was when addicted to heroin.

She said, “He’d pass out and seek oblivion and I’d have to f***ing slap him and put pins in his balls and put ice cubes everywhere and it started to p**s me off… I started resenting that; I didn’t like being a nursemaid.”

You should feel lucky to be his nursemaid, you crazy heifer. Kurt was an icon and you just leeched off of that. Please stop leeching now, thanks. And I don’t know about you, but I could have gone forever without hearing that little tidbit.

Courtney Love has said that she is sick of answering questions about her late husband, Kurt Cobain. So much, that she’s basically pleading with the media to stop asking questions about the late Nirvana rocker.

Courtney and Kurt were married for only two years, but he committed suicide in 1994 at the young age of 27. She has previously answered a slew of questions about Kurt in the past, but now she’s tired of it.

She said, “I am not his spokesperson on Earth. I don’t know what he’d be like now, he could be into society girls, he could be into fat girls, he could be homosexual. We don’t know, he died at 27.”

When speaking about her relationship with her daughter, Frances Bean, she added, “I’m ultimately a widow and a single mother, who’s not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it’s freaky.”

Courtney has also adopted her birth name, Courtney Michelle, instead of her stage name, Courtney Love.

Despite what you may have heard, Courtney Love is putting the kibosh on the rumors that Robert Pattinson is set to play her late husband, Kurt Cobain in his biopic.

Her manager released a statement, denying the claims. He said, “That’s an amazing story, and the first time I’ve heard any of this…I’m not sure she knows who RPattz is, but he sure is cute.”

He hasn’t ruled out the idea of having Scarlett Johansson play Courtney, however. He added, “Courtney likes Scarlett Johansson as an actress and as a person, so it wouldn’t surprise me if she wanted her to play her.”

Yes, because they have soooooo many similarities, right?

Jeremy Renner has his heart set on playing disturbed Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain in a new biopic.

The movie is based on the book by Charles R. Cross, titled, Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain.

Jeremy has hinted at wanting the role, saying, “I’ve always wanted to do some sort of musical. That’s a dream for me. Maybe play Kurt Cobain.”

What do you think? Do you think he’s right for the part?

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said that he knew that Kurt Cobain was fragile and that he was already prepared for his death by the time he committed suicide.

He said, “There are some people that you meet in life that you just know that they are not going to live to be 100 years old. In some ways, you kind of prepare yourself emotionally for that to be a reality.”

He said that learning of Cobain’s death was a shock and that he was heartbroken at the news of his passing.

He added, “It was a terrible surprise. It was probably the worst thing that has happened to me in my life. I remember the day after that I woke up and I was heartbroken that he was gone. I just felt like, ‘Okay, so I get wake up today and have another day and he doesn’t. Usually it takes something like that for people to appreciate life as a gift and you have to take advantage of the time that you have. Sometimes you just can’t save someone from themselves.”

So true, and still so sad. RIP Kurt Cobain. You were taken from the world too young.

Activision has put Kurt Cobain in some rather unsightly poses in “Guitar Hero 5″ and he looks pretty silly. Ever thought Kurt would be jamming out to “You Give Love A Bad Name” by Bon Jovi? How about rapping along to Public Enemy’s “Bring The Noise”? Kurt was also seen getting up close to sing Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets”. While all are pretty decent songs, should Kurt’s image be used like this?

The video game makers have really done a number on Kurt and he is probably turning over in his grave as I write this.

This would be something that I would normally blame Courtney Love for. She’s sold him out before, so this wouldn’t be the first time. (continue reading…)

“Guitar Hero 5″ features Courtney Love’s late husband and iconic Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in it. What a disgrace. I don’t think that’s what Kurt would’ve wanted AT ALL.

Shame on you, whoever’s behind that nonsense (ahem Court). See the trailer HERE. It wasn’t enough with the sneakers, the lunchboxes, and the lighters, was it?
