NYT columnist finds and returns Courtney Love's cell phone

@samdolnick My ace researcher @IsabellaMoschen deduced from texts coming in beneath the locked home screen that it was/is Courtney's.

New York Times columnist Frank Bruni made an unusual discovery by finding Courtney Love’s cell phone. Bruni then set out to return the phone to its rightful owner.

@JPeters1221 I'm wholly serious but have just heard from her manager, so all is well.

The NYT might not have wanted to find out what was on the phone, but the editor of Gawker sure did:

@FrankBruni @Courtney we will buy it

New York Times management might wish Bruni had at least forced Gawker to buy 20 subscriptions to the paper.

@johnjcook @FrankBruni Frank for governor!!! I would have to move to Iowa if you hadnt taken that route. Ohh the secrets we could tell

The New York Post would have liked to have gotten their hands on the phone as well:

@nypost no offense, love you too xc
