Courtney Love Gets Into Skirmish At Sundance
Less than a week after turning heads at the Golden Globes, Hole's Courtney Love got involved in a skirmish during a party for her new film "Beat," held at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
On Wednesday night, Love and Kirk Honeycutt, a writer for "The Hollywood Reporter," got into a shouting match and had to be separated after the singer-actress took umbrage with Honeycutt's wife, Mira, snapping a picture of her as she was leaving the Lakota restaurant, according to "Variety.
Mira had received permission from the publicists overseeing the "Beat" bash to take the photos, but apparently no one told Love, who snatched the camera out of Mira's hands and tossed it to the ground.A report in the "New York Post" indicates that the situation became even more tense when Honeycutt stepped in between his wife and Love, and began calling the frontwoman "a f***ing pig." Love's boyfriend, Jim Barber, then interceded, and cooler heads eventually prevailed,as Love and Honeycutt subsequently exchanged apologies outside Lakota.
Honeycutt, who had planned on reviewing "Beat" for "The Hollywood Reporter," told Love that he wouldn't write the piece because of a potential conflict of interest from any lingering feelings, but would find a writer to do the article instead.Beat" was written and directed by Gary Walkow and stars Kiefer Sutherland as writer William S. Burroughs and Love as his wife, Joan (see [article id="1430044"]"Courtney Love Headed To Mexico City For Beat Flick"[/article]).
