Courtney Love celebrates new album! Pics! Also spotted in the crowd..

Saturday night Courtney Love hosted at TAO in celebration of the release of “Nobody’s Daughter,” the new album from Hole. She arrived wearing a Balenciaga dress and headed up to the moat sky box overlooking the entire club. Love, who stuck to drinking Pellegrino, was presented with a cake and just after 1 am she surprised the crowd by taking the stage for an impromptu performance. After asking if anyone remembered MTV Unplugged she sang “Pacific Coast Highway” and “Someone Else’s Bed,” accompanied by Mico, a member of her band who played guitar.

Spotted at TAO watching the performance from a VIP table was Chazz Palminteri.

Over at LAVO actress Francia Raisa was spotted in the nightclub taking in the sounds of DJ Reach.
