We often spend our afternoons in seclusion, where we can have the peace and quiet necessary to effectively brainstorm and think of the most insane possibilities for what might be Courtney Love's next headline. In all of our creative sessions, however, we never once got so fucked up as to imagine today's news: Courtney Love is claiming to be pregnant with the baby of British actor Steve Coogan, who's best known for his portrayal of fictional radio loser Alan Partridge.

Love is now reported to be embarrassed at the affair, which lasted just two weeks. "What does it make me look like that I have slept with Alan Partridge?" she allegedly told a friend. "Given the A-grade stars I've dated it's embarrassing. I mean ... Alan Partridge!"

Yeah, well, just imagine how he feels.
