Courtney Love Claims Crack Cocaine Usage Turned Her Into A Calculus Whiz

Just reading about the battles between Courtney Love and her daughter Frances Bean Cobain really tires us out. They’re so explosive! We’re going to hear a lot more from them after they read about this story put together by The Fix. Maer Roshan first interviewed Courtney back in 2010 and has kept in touch with her ever since. That interview was published last May, and now it’s being transformed into an e-book called Courtney Comes Clean that reveals a whole lot of other information about the troubled sometimes-singer. This includes some truly shocking details from Frances’ sealed deposition against her mother from 2009, and more drug-related confessions from Courtney. (more…)

The 25 Worst-Dressed Stars Of 2011: Vote For The Best…Of The Worst

2011 brought along with it a host of new fashion trends, from long-sleeved gowns to daytime sequins to the ever-unfortunate mullet dress. The biggest trend of all, however, seems to have been stars looking like a volcanically hot mess. Yes, like a single strand of pearls or a little black dress, celebrities sashaying down the red carpet in cringe-inducing couture never gets old. After all, these are people who all have stylists. Who they pay real money. To make them look good. We know.

Without further ado, check out our Worst-Dressed Stars of 2011 gallery then vote on your favorite misguided celebs. Will it be Paz de la Huerta or Nicki Minaj? Katy Perry or Courtney Stodden? Lady Gaga or Snooki? As long as famous people continue to have little to no taste, we’ll all be winners here.

Courtney Love Faces Eviction From New York Apartment

Courtney Love! What did you do to this place? Aw, you know we can’t stay mad at you; Courtney’s neighbors, on the other hand, probably can. According to Page Six, Love is currently being evicted from her West Village apartment “after she set it on fire and ‘ruined’ its decor,” among other things. According to Donna Lyon, the owner of Courtney’s building, the Hole front woman allegedly violated her lease by damaging her apartment, as well as owing more than $50,000 in rent. “I came to New York to see it and I was horrified by what [Love] had done,” Lyons added. “The walls that had been hand-painted and glazed were ruined, covered in damask wallpaper and ice-blue paint.” That’s what’s horrifying? The wallpaper? In that case, just wait to see what Courtney left in the linen closet. It’s unspeakable!

Of course, Courtney’s current dilemma is only the latest in a string of eyebrow-raising legal issues Love has run into this year. In May, Courtney was required to pay thousands of dollars in back pay to her maids, while in March the singer had to shell out $430,000 after settling a Twitter defamation case brought by designer Dawn Simorangkir. Love has a court date scheduled for December 21, but we’re sure she’ll charm her way out of this one like she always does. Oh wait, sorry: never. Like she never does.

Courtney Love Acts As Lilo’s Sobriety Coach “Because Nobody Else Will”

Say what you want about Courtney Love (Lord knows we have!), but the woman calls it like she sees it. Granted, she might be seeing it through a milky haze with her bosoms falling out of her top at the Hugo premiere after party, but still! “[She's] further down the line than I was,” Love allegedly tells Details about Lindsay Lohan’s substance abuse issues, explaining that she’s acting as Lindsay’s sobriety coach, “because nobody else will.” Wow. Huh. Well, can’t argue with the facts, we guess!

Courtney has talked before about her role as “junkie Auntie Mame” for Lohan, telling addiction and recovery issues website The Fix how she advised Lilo following one of her several arrests, even talking phone calls from Michael Lohan. Says Courtney, “I went up to Lindsay’s room one time and there was a show on called 101 Celebrity Oops and I am like every other one, you know — boobs out, legs everywhere, throwing s–t at Madonna, you know whatever. I’m like ‘Lindsay, look! Drugs are bad!” Wow, this whole relationship sounds like a real-life episode of Scared Straight! Except with way more exposed areolae.

Courtney Love To Publish Tell-All To End All Tell-Alls

We thought Courtney Love already wrote a tell-all; it was just published 140 characters at a time and lead to several different lawsuits. Luckily we were wrong and Courtney Love’s memoir is headed our way in Fall 2012, a fact her daughter Frances Bean is no doubt thrilled about. Plus it’s just in time for the Apocalypse! Coincidence? We hope so.

According to HarperCollins’ imprint William Morrow, the publisher putting out the as-yet untitled book, Courtney will team up with co-writer Anthony Bozza to reportedly “set the record straight” on everything from Courtney’s marriage to Kurt Cobain, her time with band Hole, her battle with drug addiction (a section on that alleged “Kelly Osbourne OD’ing incident” would be nice) and, with any luck, her role in Man on the Moon. Hey, it was a seriously unrated film, okay?

Courtney Love Twitter Defamation Case One Step Closer To Trial

Take this as a reminder, kids, that Twitter is, in fact, real life, not some private repository for all your spare Jonah Hill jokes. The Hollywood Reporter writes today that Courtney Love’s Twitter defamation case has gotten the okay to move forward to trial. In case you’re asking yourself, “Now wait a minute, didn’t Courtney Love already have a defamation lawsuit?,” the answers to that question would be: yes, that one was brought by designer Dawn Simorangkir after Love called her a “a–wipe nasty lying nosebag thief” among other names online, and ugh.

As for this case, apparently Rhonda Holmes of Gordon & Holmes stumbled in front of Love’s Twitter blasts after her lawfirm declined to continue representing Love in a fraud case. “I was f—ing devastated (sic) when Rhonda J Holmes Esq of San Diego was bought off […],” Love allegedly tweeted. It turns out, publicly claiming your lawyer accepted bribes for any reason is frowned upon. Now that the judge has given the case’s main defamation claim the okay, Courtney is probably going to be back in court before you know it. Once she’s there, with any luck, someone will snatch that phone right out of her hand before she ends up tweeting down the rabbit hole again.

Courtney Love Ordered To Pay Former Maids Unpaid Wages

Luckily for two domestic workers named Miriam and Myriam, Courtney Love’s maid lawsuit ended today with a judge ordering the Hole singer to pay almost $36,000 to her two former house keepers in unpaid wages dating back several years. The women also deserve some kind of cleaning lady Purple Heart for even attempting to cleanse Courtney’s filth hut but we understand, it isn’t in the judges’ power to hand those out. We’ll start a letter-writing campaign to President Obama…now.

Today’s ruling is only the latest in a parade of legal charges leveled at the singer, including Courtney Love’s Twitter lawsuits. Yes, there is an “s” on the end of that suit. As for her former maids, Miriam will be paid $16,632.45 and Myriam $19,137.27, though we’re assuming this doesn’t include the cost of the biohazard suits, industrial-strength hoses or powerful solvents needs to scrub the Love House down. If the judge had only factored in the emotional cost and hours of intensive psycho therapy needed after seeing Courtney’s bathtub, these women would be taken care of for the rest of their lives.

Courtney Love: “Junkie Auntie Mame” To Hollywood’s Troubled Starlets

If you’ve ever wondered why some young actresses can’t seem to keep away from drugs and booze, the answer seems to be simple: they are calling for Courtney Love’s drug advice, like she’s some kind of ex-junkie Ann Landers! “For some reason, Kim Stewart also called me when Paris Hilton got pulled over for her last D.U.I. And Lindsay Lohan called me after she was arrested,” Love said in rambling interview for The Fix. “I told Lindsay to just get it together and trust the judge, and Lindsay’s father called me for advice every day. I’m not even that friendly with these girls. What am I, a junkie Auntie Mame?” Michael Lohan is calling every day? We thought he’d have enough know-how to run his own advice column: Dear Awful Dads.

Love also describes allegedly getting pills from Andy Dick and Winona Ryder, when not doing drugs in or off of Pamela Anderson‘s butt. “People still think that I’m the same sad skank I was in 2005,” Courtney laments. This all in addition to a lengthy description of how supposedly Courtney Love saved Kelly Osbourne’s s life. Now, would Emily Post know if you should flush all those Oxycotin down the toilet when the sheriff shows up?

Courtney Love Claims She Saved Kelly Osbourne’s Life Twice In Video Rant

For those of you missing your daily dose of bizarre ever since Courtney Love quit Twitter, we present to you the next generation in online irrationality: Courtney Love’s VYou account. The Hole singer has already posted a video where Love attacks Kelly Osbourne…whom she claims she saved from the brink of death on more than one occasion. “Kelly Osbourne and Joan Rivers called me a crackhead on the E! channel. Kelly knows I’m sober,” Courtney explains. “Kelly knows there’s no drugs allowed at my house. I think it’s really lame.” It’s not just the mean joke that irks Courtney, however: “This girl I know, Kelly Osbourne, I’ve saved her life twice. I’ve done CPR, I’ve put things in her boobs. [She was on] Oxycontin, cocaine, foaming at the mouth.” If it wasn’t for this video, we wouldn’t even know you had to put things in people’s boobs after they OD’ed. God bless you, social media platforms!

Given Osbourne’s rehab visits, we do agree that claiming someone looks an addict is like the pot calling the kettle super-high. After declaring herself sober since October 2005, Love goes on to detail the massive amounts of drugs she takes, prescription and otherwise: Abilify, cocaine, a nice rosé. Courtney also mentions that Sharon Osbourne might think Love gave Jack Osbourne Oxycotin as a child. Can’t imagine why. Look Courtney, we’re sure Kelly didn’t mean to say you were a crackhead. She probably just meant you act like a crackhead. You know, ranting angrily in public, saying you don’t do drugs them listing all the drugs you do. That kind of thing. You’ll remember what it’s like when you make more videos. It’s like riding a bike…made out of craziness!

Courtney Love Vs. The Internet

amfar gala arrivals 281010

You guys, we just figured something out. Courtney Love, aging rock star and mother to teenager Frances Bean, is no different from most parents of a certain age. And by that we mean: she kinda doesn’t get the internet.

We first got a taste of this when she tweeted an almost-naked image of herself, and then quit Twitter over it, claiming she meant for the image to be sent to her boyfriend. #OOPS, but also #That’sAPrettyBigEffingMistake.

Now, Love is expressing some outrage over her Wikipedia page because she doesn’t think it reflects her accurately. She told Page Six “I just want what awards I got . . . who I [bleeped] — on the record — or who said nice things about [bleep ing] me. And how many hits I’ve had. And that’s it.” Do you think she knows she can go in there and edit that stuff herself? (Although we have never actually seen a Contents section that features a “Who She F*cked” chapter on someone’s page, but if that’s what the lady wants…) As for the awards and albums, well, that’s all in there. Looks like it’s up to Courtney and/or a very brave/well-informed moderator to add the other stuff. “Why?” is another question entirely.
