Another story featuring Courtney Love and missing money

This time, though, the tale is a little easier to follow as the accusations come not from, but are about, Courtney. She's being sued by London & Co, who claims she owes them a million dollars following the sale of her share of Nirvana's back catalogue.

They had, the claim, an oral contract with Courtney - which, we'd suggest would be about as watertight as a paperbag oiltanker - to get five per cent of any income the catalogue generated; they reckon they were due a million bucks as a result of it.

Of course, an oral contract is a difficult thing - it's hard to prove what anyone meant by it. Having said that, the same is true of most stuff Courtney writes down these days.

It's all up to the courts now.
