Iconic Rocker, 60, Makes Bold Statement About Having a 'Friend With Benefits'

Iconic Rocker, 60, Makes Bold Statement About Having a 'Friend With Benefits' originally appeared on Parade.
Courtney Love is doing 60 in style.
The legendary rocker, who rose to stardom as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the rock band Hole, opened up about her romantic life in a new episode of Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud.
Lying down on the couch like all of Freud's guests, Love discussed her casual sexual relationship by referring to "the person I do most of my romantic crap with." She said this person "is also a libertine, so we really are also more friends with benefits sometimes."
Love, who was previously married to Nirvana icon Kurt Cobain until he died in 1994, declined to mention her love interest's name publicly.
"I don't like talking about them," she noted, "because there's jealousy around that person."
Honing in on her own feelings of jealousy, Love went on to say that she doesn't "really get it."

"I don't know if I'm being in denial here, but I have a friend, and I made friends with him when he was on the up in the art world, and he's done astonishingly well, and I could not be happier for him," she told Freud. "I have another friend who I met on her come up and now she's bigger than I'll ever, ever be and I'm really happy for her."
Love has been living in London since 2019. She's even in the process of becoming a British citizen, PEOPLE reported. Back in March, she told Todd Almond at London's Geographical Society that she loves living across the pond.
'I'm really glad I'm here. It's so great to live here. I'm finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen. I'm applying, man! Can't get rid of me,' she said.Iconic Rocker, 60, Makes Bold Statement About Having a 'Friend With Benefits' first appeared on Parade on Jun 12, 2025

Let's Talk About the Ending of '28 Years Later'

The sequel is coming in January, so there's a lot to break down in Danny Boyle's latest zombie film. One of the few flaws in Danny Boyle's new film, 28 Years Later, is that it ends a chapter, not a full story. That's because this new zombie tale is the first film of a proposed trilogy, one that has its second film coming in January of 2026. With at least one sequel guaranteed, Boyle and his writer, Alex Garland, can safely leave several threads lingering, offering hints of what's to come. Let's break it down with full spoilers. One of the biggest shocks in 28 Years Later is its manic ending. After we watch Spike take the surprise baby back to his home, he goes back to the mainland to live his own life. This, of course, is largely due to a distrust of his father, Jamie, who hit him in the past. All of this feels on brand for the movie, but then Jack O'Connell shows up. O'Connell, best known from films like Sinners and Unbroken, leads some kind of weird, almost Clockwork Orange group of people dressed in colorful jumpsuits, who proceed to gleefully dispatch a group of zombies who are chasing Spike. Spike welcomes the help but we have to question what the deal is. Especially when it's revealed that the character's name is Jimmy. Yes, the same Jimmy from the beginning of the film, whose father was a priest, gave him a special cross, and watched his mother and several childhood friends being eaten alive. What does that do to a person? And what happened to make that scared, lonely child into this flashy, charismatic presence? We don't know for certain but there are clues throughout the movie. For example, in the first third of the movie, Spike and Jamie enter a house and see a man hanging by his feet, waiting to be infected. In that man's chest, though not acknowledged, we can see the letters 'I-M-M-Y.' We can't see the 'J,' but we assume it's there. Jimmy carved his name into this man, for whatever reason. Later, when Spike is traveling with his mom Isla, the name Jimmy is also painted on the side of a shed, like some sort of post-apocalyptic graffiti. From these clues, we can begin to discern that Jimmy and his group are not nice people. They're evil, they're savage, and they are brash. They are certainly not people Spike can trust, though he has to in that moment. At the end of the film we're also left wondering what Jamie, feeling so rejected by his son, will do to get him back. Will Jamie go after Spike? Does he even have that ability? And how will the city deal with the fact that an infected man and woman made a child that isn't infected? That's the kind of revelation that can't be ignored. Plus, who does that child grow up to be? Is her DNA from the parents before or after the infection? There's also the very important piece of information that the sequel is called 'The Bone Temple.' That certainly seems like a reference to Ralph Fiennes' character, Dr. Kelson, and the structures he's erected. Is the movie just about him? Is there another temple of bones? How will that tie into the Spike and Jimmy story? We also know that Cillian Murphy's character Jim, last seen in the original 2002 film, plays a role. How the heck does that work? Certainly, there's lots to ponder and, thankfully, we won't have to wait long to get answers. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, directed by Nia DaCosta, is scheduled for release on January 16, 2026.

Hull reacts as Coldplay announces tour dates at Craven Park

In case you missed it, one of the biggest bands of all time is coming to Hull next year. Coldplay will be playing two nights at Craven Park in August next year. The band, fronted by Chris Martin, regularly sell out arena tours all over the globe, so some fans might have had to check twice that their eyes hadn't deceived them when they added Hull to their 2025 UK Tour. Known for their dazzling shows, some fans are in utter disbelief that the band are now playing in Hull for the first time. READ MORE: Take a tour around Hull's new IKEA as it welcomes first customers READ MORE: Why one Hull takeaway makes me look forward to ordering a salad Taking to social media, some people expressed their shock. Vicky couldn't believe it, saying: "How on earth did they think 'Hang on, we'll go do one of our two tour locations in Hull'. Not complaining like." Of course, some could not resist a Rover's gloat. Charlie said, "The band that sing " A Sky Full of Stars ", Will be playing at the Home stadium of the team who has a team Full of Stars". Chair for Hull Kingston Rovers, Dr. Paul Sewell in light of the announcement posted on X, formerly Twitter, said: "Thank you Coldplay. They could have gone anywhere but chose the city of Hull, Hull Kingston Rovers and ⁦ @Sewell_Group ⁩ Craven Park. I have been asked 'why' a lot yesterday, and would like to think that, in part, it was just some decent people choosing some decent people." Following Mr Sewell's post, Matt replied: "Brilliant Paul! Well done to you and all at Rovers. You've done a great deal for this city. I'm sure it's very much appreciated." In what is universally agreed to be a huge success for the city, @RLbl0gger said: "This is actually incredible! A rugby league ground hosting it is amazing let alone @hullkrofficial! Well done whoever negotiated this." The fact that London and Hull are the only two European cities in the upcoming tour has meant that plenty of replies are calling Craven Park "Wembley of the North." Hull KR Chief Executive Paul Larkin said on Rover's website, "We are truly delighted to bring the world's biggest band to East Hull. Sewell Group Craven Park will be rocking for two consecutive nights for the biggest show the City has ever seen. "We can't wait to proudly represent the whole region and North of England, as part of the only European dates announced outside of London. "The stadium is no stranger to big acts with Hull's very own Beautiful South selling out 25,000 tickets in our 2017 City of Culture year, alongside other major concerts from The Who, Little Mix, Rod Stewart and Tom Jones. "However this is on another level, with Coldplay bringing their full, and same production that will be inside Wembley stadium, nothing will be scaled back. We have a fantastic relationship with SJM Concerts, and we'd like to place on record our thanks to them for making this happen, for what is set to be two very special nights." Tickets for Coldplay's gigs go on general sale on Friday, September 27. Tickets go on sale a day early for those with a HU, YO, DN or LN postcode as 50% off tickets are reserved for locals. 10% of ticket sales will go towards Music Venue Trust to help support grassroots venues.

"Friend" of Royals Says "Major Shifts" Are Being Secretly Planned for Prince William and Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton has been amping up her royal engagements over the past few months, making high profile appearances at several events including Trooping the Colour and The Order of the Garter Service: And apparently Kate's increased public profile has been carefully planned as the royal couple prepare for some "shifts" in the coming months. An anon person described simply as a "friend" tells People that "There are some major shifts coming behind the scenes," and that Wills and Kate are currently building their team as their eventual ascension to King and Queen creeps closer. As the friend put it, "They are really finessing what works and what doesn't." Speaking of what works and what doesn't, there are rumors that Kate and William are over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle having titles, and plan to formally remove them as soon as William is King. Another friend close to the couple just told the Daily Mail that "They have asked the Sussexes politely to stop using the style, to no avail, so I imagine William will simply issue new letters patent to formally remove the entire family's right to use HRH when he becomes king. It will likely be presented as part of a wider tidying up exercise to reduce, more broadly, the number of HRHs in circulation. He could, for example, say that only working royals are entitled to use HRH, which seems sensible if you are trying to modernize, or specify that only children of the monarch are HRH, not the grandchildren, which would have the added advantage of making things clearer for their own kids' families in due course." could just let Harry and Meghan keep using the titles they were given!
