the hagiography of narcotics: courtney love is running mtv2, and has been for the last 15.5 hours. it's a fantastic idea, really, and she's doing a brilliant job -- it's like if mike had famous friends and was on tv giving his opinions instead of behind a computer. a disclaimer regarding the origin of the opinions given is running like a stock ticker. she's told this same story about any given sunday and meeting jay-z and asking him for a root beer because she didn't realize it was jay-z several times, prefacing it each time by saying, "i don't know if i've told this story..." and i've only watched a few hours of it!
