- Dr. Marten has publicly apologized for publishing the series of ads featuring Kurt Cobain and other deceased musicians wearing their shoes in heaven. The shoe company also fired the agency responsible for the ads, Saatchi & Saatchi, after Courtney lashed out at the company for using his image in such an offensive way. What do you think, did the ad go too far? - People
- Kelly evidently ignored apologies by Idol execs after Clive Davis blatantly dissed her in his speech praising every Idol except her on Wednesday's show - TMZ
- Idol will never be the same after 2010. Simon has said he won't renew his contract in three years. - R&M
- Rumor has it that Paula Abdul didn't really break her nose tripping over her Chihuahua. She was in a rage and threw something into a mirror and a shard of glass struck her in the face. Guess that's why her nose looks fine. - Page Six
- Rose McGowan evidently still has hard feelings against Dita Von Teese for stealing Marilyn Manson. When Dita performed her show at amFAR this week, Rose stepped outside. Wait, didn't she just break up Robert Rodriguez's 16 year marriage? - R&M

I wonder what paula got so mad about .. maybe she was out of alcohol..
1Can anyone explain to me why that bloody Waitress keps playing without my clicking on it??? It's so annoying I'm going to just log out in a minute... I can't close it once it starts, and it's also starting multiple times so I have it in an echo!! It's infuriating!!!!!!
BTW... these ads aren't exactly offensive but they are immoral and in very bad taste!
2Kellie Pickler ignored apologies?/ Yeah cos she's a multi-million selling star yeah whatever, she ain't no Carrie Underwood so she needs to simmer down!! Mary from so you think you can dance reminds me so much of Paula except she's a bit loopier and has a totally crazy laugh. Rose needs to get over her saggy face sel and the whole Coc Marten's thing is totally overblown. What they did might be bad taste but it's also legal. Courtney needs to concetrate on trying to look normal again. And Simon is leaving which means there will be no more Idol after 2010 he'll be back with another.
3YES I think that it's wrong to use deceased musicians in ads, especially without consent... What was Doc Martens thinking?! And they fire the ad agency?? Like Doc Marten didn't know that the ads would run ahead of time?????
4nyarad, I think the post is referring to Kelly Clarkson...
5It was Courtney Love that complained about the ad. Fine, I understand. The only reason she was upset is because she didn't get a piece of the pie.
6Clive dissed her?
7Well since Kurt killed himself, I don't think they should have used his image.
8aww no Simon please don`t leave !!
9LMAO @ Paula !
10i sooo knew that wasn`t true ! ha ha i`m always right ...
Those ads are horrible and completely done in bad taste. Why would anyone even think of something like this??
Poor Kelly..I love her music and think she is getting treated really bad. She proved herself in her first two albums and deserves her chance to release what she wants.
I can't wait until Idol ends..I like it at first but now it's just annoying.
Dita Rocks!! I love her!!
11that ad is very disrespectful , makes me mad
12Cinnamon Girl is right. it is so disrespectful. Kurt Cobain was a great musician and he is now considered a legend. To disrespect him like that is so wrong!!
13I thought Rose McGowan was the one who broke off the engagement with Marilyn Manson, not the other way around. Even if Dita "stole" Manson, if Rose really is the reason Robert Rodriguez ended his 16 year marriage then she truly is a hypocrite.
14thank you koren
15i dont know why im more mad about the kurt cobain ad than i am about the joey ramone and sid vicious ad's. maybe its because i remember the day so well.
16I also thought Rose broke up with Manson.
17Oh Kelly Clarkson right I had forgotten about her lol. She needs to get over it and move on, she's fighting with Clive Davis who signs the pay checks. She's dispensable he isn't.
18Kelly just won ASCAP awards for best songwriting of the year, so I think Clive should just chill and let her do her thing. She has already proven herself with multiple hits that she has WRITTEN.
19I also think the Docs ads are in incredibly bad taste. Kurt was not a sell-out and if he were alive he wouldn't do this ad.
20I love Simon. I hope he changes his mind.
I had a feeling Paula was a fat liar. I bet she was drunk.
"The shoe company also fired the agency responsible for the ads"
Wait, I thought ads had to be approved by the company before they're put out?
21Rose McGowan can kiss my ass. Homewrecking wh*re. UGH. I really can't stand her. She's been sleeping with dude since like 05. Both of them are nasty.
22I dont think there is anything wrong with the ad of kurt. if anything its nice gesture or tribute. yes he took his life, but there was much more to him than that.
23Too much idol talk.
24Good for Kelly, I wouldnt accept his apologies either.
25Should Clive be dissing the idol who has had the most success when talking about how strong the idol franchise is? I wouldn't accept his apology either.
Even if Dita did "steal" MM from Rose, isn't it time to get over it? MM left Dita for Evan, he's clearly no prize!
26It's disrespectful to have used Kurts' image like that.
27yeah they shouldnt have used his picture...
28WOW, what an U P T I G H T society.
29Nothing wrong with the Cobain ad.
yes because people who die violent deaths should always be used to sell shoes
