Late Tuesday, we short-ended a link to a Craigslist Seattle ad (since removed) seeking a fresh set of bandmates for Courtney Love, who's apparently looking to make a big musical comeback after rehab. It looks like the cattle call's been extended to L.A.

Courtney Love needs girl band members
 Courtney is writing new music and looking to audition (NO Boys) beginning next month for a guitarist/back-up vocalist and a bassist. Ideally the back-up singer is someone who looks like Kathy Hilton but twenty-five years younger. Bassist needs to be "heavy, goth, but not ugly". No drugs, no boys, no desperado's. Send us your resume at EMI, inc. and some pics (no full body shots). A tour in January is hoping to take place. Be ready for hard work and leave your shit at the Obstetrician.

A well-placed music industry operative we asked about this is convinced it's a hoax. But allowing the bass player to be "heavy" is a nice touch, and the baffling "leave your shit at the Obstetrician" sounds just crazy enough to have been sputtered by Courtney Love herself. Just be aware that if you send in a headshot, you may be falling prey to a dangerous young Kathy Hilton fetishist with appalling grammar.
