There goes Kim Kardashian again as she was spotted with the adorable baby North. And much like her daddy, Nori ain’t here for the paps!
Earlier today, the mom and the 11-month-old were seen shopping at a Givenchy store in Paris, France in matching chic outfits while causing a paparazzi frenzy. (Interesting enough, the paparazzi laws are strict in Paris but it didn’t stop them from snapping photos.) While Kim sported a nude top with a black bodycon skirt and black heels, Nori had on a black dress and black cotton tights. A budding fashionista!
With three days left before Kim officially becomes Mrs. West, we can’t wait to see what adorable little dress North will be wearing.
Courtney Love says she was the author of the recently discovered mocking note that was found in Kurt Cobain’s wallet when he died in 1994.
Initially, the note that referred to Love as a “b*tch with zits” who siphoned his money for “doping and whoring,” was believed to be written by the Nirvana front man.
But now the Seattle Times reports that Love contacted the paper via e-mail to say it was she — not Cobain- – who wrote the mean-spirited message.
The newspaper says Love penned the short letter on New Year’s Eve 1991, the night Nirvana appeared in San Francisco with the Red Hot Chili Peppers andPearl Jam.
Only half of the note was published when it was first made public last month.
The full message actually ends with a promise to have sex “at least once a week, O.K.”
The Seattle Times reports that Love’s sister Nicole Jon Carroll and a former employee of the Kurt Cobain estate both reviewed the handwriting and authenticated that it was, in fact, written by Love.
Contrary to whatever Lorde may think, for Complex to give a cover to an artist like Iggy Azalea or current covergirl Jhené Aiko (or even Lorde for that matter) it simply boils down to Complex thinking the artist is someone our audience is interested in. Giving someone a bad review basically boils down to thinking someone our audience is interested in didn’t make a very good record. We can’t speak for all publications, but we imagine it works about the same way for them.
Lorde declaring “have a stance on an artist and stick to it” is a bizarre notion for an organization like Complex, which is to say bizarre for any media organization that claims to have any journalistic integrity. No one should stick to their opinion when new facts (possibly in the form of new music) are made available that can alter your views. Art and artistry are fluid things.
If Complex—or the media at large—operated the way Lorde wished, it would do away with journalistic integrity all together. Lorde—as well as Iggy—seem to confuse press as “respect” and criticism as being thrown “under the bus.” Truth is, not every media interaction will be mutually beneficial. Sure, giving Iggy a cover helped us “sell copies/get clicks” but it also helped establish Iggy as a star. When Def Jam sent its Iggy press kits around, best believe Complex’s cover and cover story were featured in it. There’s no way Iggy can say she didn’t benefit from being on our cover. Maybe she didn’t benefit from our review, but so be it. Celebrities seek attention and media coverage every time they do something great, why would the camera stop rolling when they do something not so great? And even if they do, it isn’t meant to be disrespectful—it’s meant to be critical.
This issue Lorde highlights is an on-going problem in music writing, one where artists seem to think of journalists as akin to their publicists, and journalists are afraid to say anything bad about an artist for fear of losing access. An artist thinking that just because they’re interviewed by an outlet that said outlet can’t then “sh*t on your records” muddies the difference between music profiling and music criticism. The job of a journalist profiling an interesting artist is to bring their story to life for an audience. The job of a music critic writing a review is to put an album in the proper context for listeners and, yes, share their opinion on the album. Thinking doing one means a publication can’t do the other misses the point of each entirely.
