Courtney is now planning to auction a host of Kurt's belongings, including the beloved pyjamas. She revealed to website Spinner.com: "I still wear his pyjamas to bed. How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?"I'm going to have a Christie's auction. My house is like a mausoleum. My daughter Frances doesn't need to inherit a giant bag full of flannel f***ing shirts."A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' - that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just f***ing sell."Everyone's been positive and behind me on it. We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity."Courtney and Kurt married in 1992 and had a daughter, Frances Bean, who is now 14. Heroin addict Kurt committed suicide by shooting himself with a shotgun in 1994.The former Hole singer also revealed she is working on a new solo album,'Nobody's Daughter', on which she will sing about her past relationships with Kurt, actor Edward Norton, and a man she recently dated but won't identify.

IGGY POP REMEMBERS KURT COBAIN

Iggy Pop is still alive and rocking !

Late rocker KURT COBAIN once left an early morning answer phone message for IGGY POP suggesting the pair hit the studio together - only to prove impossible for Pop to contact back. Pop - real name James Osterburg - did his best to return the Nirvana frontman’s call, but never did manage to get in touch with him.The 60-year-old says, "He called me up once at two in the morning. But this was when I was old enough to start going to bed at 9.30. When I’m not gigging I’m sensible so I didn’t take his call."It was cool because it was a great musician at his peak and he’s going, ‘Iggy, this is Kurt Cobain, let’s get in the studio man.’ "So he leaves me a number for the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. And then every time I would call it was like, ‘Mr. Cobain is under the bed,’ or ‘We haven’t heard from Mr. Cobain in three days.’" Cobain killed himself in April 1994.
