On the heels of last week’s vid, in which a very young pre-stardom Courtney rocks the Boy Toy look pretty hard in one of her outfit changes, this clip fast forwards to 1995, to a notorious MTV interview disrupted by flying cosmetics – coming face to face with the Material Girl herself (who by now was in her Bedtime Stories phase), catching her very off-guard in the process, and completely stealing her interview. Look how hungry those cameras are to soak up every last drop of drama, and does she ever deliver, right down to the last ass-over-teakettle second.
I have a love/hate/love thing about Courtney – from my impressions over the years (I still have yet to read Poppy’s biography, it’s sitting right here on my to-read shelf!) she’s a very complex character, not someone who comes along very often in the pantheon of female superstars – but I adore her for totally being *not* groomed into mainstream celebrity, and refusing to play the media game during the 90’s. She’s just so raw, and even though her life has gotten to be a mess, she’s still a hell of a lot more interesting than most of the women coming out of the Hollywood machine.
And I love how Kurt Loder just melts into the background, hilariously lost behind these women.
