Courtney Love, now a scribe at the new Jane Pratt venture, hates the Hamptons just as much as she hates the band Muse! She writes:
I've been to the Hamptons twice. I'm not sure. It might not be potentially legal for me to go the Hamptons. I get Malibu. I've lived in Malibu. I wrote a song called "Malibu." I don't understand the Hamptons. I feel like it's the band Muse. I've never gotten into Muse. You can't just listen to one song. I'm like 8 albums behind. I will someday do the Muse thing. I was speaking to Chris Martin about two years ago about Muse, and I said, "You know, I'm going to hold that. I'll put a pin in it." Because I want to give them the respect that they deserve. I just finished a book on the Gilded Age so I kind of understand it more. The Hamptons, that is. It's a catalogue that I will open up at a later point in my life.
After that it's all Turkey this, Donatella that, chartered planes to Milan and yadda yadda yadda... actually, this lady sounds like she'd fit right in with the Hamptons crowd! She certainly has that name-dropping down to a science, or maybe she's just a natural with the comedy?—"oh, you know, that time I had a serious discussion about music with the lead singer of Coldplay."
