Courtney Love Blames Malnourishment on Financial Stress
- Posted on Jul 2nd 2009 1:45PM by John D. Luerssen
Courtney Love isn't saying she's anorexic, but she concedes she's looking "painfully thin" lately. "I know I've got too skinny," the Hole frontwoman told the Daily Mirror. "I know I need to sort it out." Love, who looked downright voluptuous a few years ago, says her doctor diagnosed her with malnutrition two weeks ago. "He gave me a massive shot of vitamins and told me to start eating," said the 44-year-old rocker, who reportedly weighs just 84 pounds and is five feet, 10 inches tall.
Of course, the recent financial trauma of being sued by American Express over unpaid credit coupled with her 2008 claims that identity thieves looted $72 million from the estate of her late husband, Kurt Cobain, might sabotage anyone's appetite. Others estimate that the entire $750 million fortune Cobain left to Love and their daughter Frances Bean is gone, so it's little wonder why she's in such bad shape.
"I need to start working out again," Courtney told the paper. "It's the stress -- you have no idea what is has been like these last few months. I need to get to the bottom of this fraud, I need answers."

I lost nearly a hundred pounds in less than a year from stress....the love of my life took me for everything I worked 15 years for...you cant eat when you have wso much sorrow in your heart. Many times I felt like I was going to die, even as recent as this past weekend...my life is still not put back together,everyday is a struggle. Courtney has overcome the death of her husband and drug addiction.. I hope sh efinds the strength to pull thru this...

American Express also sued me after they charged me 30% on my balances because I was a few days late with payment. Was charging me monthly finance charges equal to my rent, so after a few months of paying & borrowing working with them to catch up and have my finance charges reduced, they charged off my account and then sued me. I was a customer for almost 20 yrs. - It also has been affecting me physically & mentally for over a year.

If you're going to starve yourself every time something goes wrong in your life, then just do it and be gone. Guess what, life is hard....and anything worth doing is going to be hard. This woman has made millions, and didn't manage her life correctly. She seems to have a good grasp on what the problem is, so why not fix it? Oh ya, you gotta be 85 pounds to get brought up in the media. You want to know stress. Go visit children in Africa who don't know if they'll have a meal, house, parent, family next week. Courtney Love can buzz off

"It's time the people of this country realize that we are a Christian Nation, regardless of what our so called 'Christian' President says...."
Not sure what this has to do with the article, but regardless, I hate to burst your bubble, but not only is America great because of its diversity, but its founding fathers were actually Athiest :-) They were tired of the persecution in England, and wanted to make sure that everyone would have religious freedom in the New World. They'd roll over in their graves if they read your statement.
But, back to the article...Kurt Cobain's estate is almost a billion dollars?! I love Nirvana, but that surprises even me!
Courtney love is a skanky drug addict with no life ! And Dave Groehl will say the same thing ! And I might add he is one hell of a singer and performer ! This low life chic doesn't deserve a squirt of piss and certainly doesn't deserve oue attention let her kill herself for all I care be done with this trailer trash broad !
