Love Michelle Harrison, or Courtney Love, was born July 9, 1964 in San Francisco, California. Courtney Love began her career as a professional musician with a short-term gig as the lead singer of 'Faith No More' in the early 80's. Courtney co- founded a 'riot grrl' band in her 'hometown', Minneapolis, Minnestota. The band was named 'Babes in Toyland', she co- found it with Kat Bjelland. Kat and Courtney fought badly, so Courtney was fired. In 1991 Courtney started her own band called 'Hole'. Their first album got little attention from the press, but luckily Hole got recognized a lot more when Courtney married guitarist and lead singer from 'Nirvana', She also got a lot of publicity after his death, just not neccesarily always that good.
Courtney was also a model. Earlier in her career, she modeled the 'kinderwhore' fashion, which she was said to have taken from Kat or the other-way-around. Courtney herself said the look was inspired by Christina Amphlett of 80's rock band, 'The Divinyls'. Courtney Love's style has since changed, and she has modelled for more sophisticated designer labels.
Courtney had a more early success as an actress, she appeared as Nancy Spungen's best friend Nancy Spungen in 'Sid andNancy' in 1986, and in 'Straight to Hell' in 1987.
Okay, As most of us already know Courtney Love has had a decent amount of bad press, and celebrities already have that weird power of MAKING people listen to them but sometimes she says or does things that people don't approve of or find insulting, and not to mention, all the time spent in court in the past year. In 2000, she publicly stated her admiration for Napster which, was being accused of promoting illegal file-sharing. She became popular for her criticism of record companies' unfair contracts and mistreatment of artists.
In 2003, Courtney pleaded not guilty to felony drug charges related to her possession of painkillers. In February of 2004, an arrest warrant was issued for Courtney after she failed to appear at a preliminary hearing, the warrant was afterwards cancelled when she appeared in court on February 18. She released her first solo effort 'America's Sweetheart' eight days before on February 10. Early morning on March 19, 2004 Courtney was arrested in New York City for throwing a microphone stand and hitting a man on the head during a show. Earlier in the night, she was on 'The Late Show' with David Letterman and flashed him six times. On July 9, 2004, her 40th birthday, she missed a scheduled court date (for attempting a break-in at her boyfriend's house.) Her attorney later said she missed the appearance because of medical problems. Later in the month she showed up in court and was sentenced to an 18-month probation and rehabilitation program for her drug problem. In August of 2004 Courtney when she allowed a bill for a message board, tied into her website to go unpaid. Courtney agreed to pay (and had been paying) the bill though the board was registered to the head of her fanclub. A lawsuit is still waiting.
While living in Japan Courtney took an intrest in manga, she co-created a series called 'Princess Ai'. Princess Ai is based on the character design of Ai Yazawa (manga author). 'Princess Ai: Volume I' was released in English by TokyoPop on July 6, 2004.
Despite all of her troubles, regardless of what they are, Courtney Love is an amazing musician. If you haven't already, you should really consider getting her first solo album 'America's Sweetheart'. It's available both edited and unedited. :P

| | VERY | YouandMe | | Of course she is | teenage_corpse |
Damn right she's hot!! She knows how to
kick some ass and live the Rock & Roll life
to the fullest!!
And she seems to be getting even hotter
looking the older she gets!!! | GrayBeard | It blows! People are giving Miss Love such a
hard time in the media beacause she's fat!
God! They aren't even noticing her skin
clearing up 'cuz the non-using of drugs?!
anyway.... I think she still looks
amazing....She's my role-model! (Grr! Give
me a break! I'm young!lol) | teenage_corpse |
Hey, I think that's great that Courtney is
your role model!!
Like I said in my review of her solo album, I
think she is always being ragged on because
she is an outspoken, strong willed woman, and
that scares the hell out of the men that run
the music industry!!
So the fact that she is your role model tells
me that you are a strong willed assertive
person also, and that is super!!! | GrayBeard | yeah exactly the media always give her a hard
time and paint her as a bad person just
because she took drugs i fuckin hate the
media and courtney love's so beautiful
and kicks ass. | coolgirly2 |
Yeah, and the thing is, they pick on her for
using drugs but I am sure they are using
drugs just as much!!!
They just pick on her because she refuses to
play their stupid games. | GrayBeard | | the MEDIA SUCKS! | coolgirly2 | Heh...okay... the media needs to lay off
Courtney, but ((Don't get me wrong I'm
truly obsessed with this woman!)) It would be
cool if she settled down a little....she's
improved so much, tho... | teenage_corpse | yeah i agree with you about courtney
teenage_corpse that she is looking much
better | coolgirly2 | nice nice but i dont understand how this
turned out to b a forum about the media and
crud | YouandMe |
It's about the media because of the double
standard they have on rock women and men.
A male rocker can get shit faced on booze &
drugs, have wild ass sex with all kinds of
ppl, wreck cars, trash hotel rooms, do
ANYTHING and it's just fine. That's
rock & roll.
But female rockers are expected to be
"nice". When a female rocker
kicks some ass, get shit faced, and has wild
sex, suddenly the press says all kind of
nasty stuff about her.
That is why Courtney Love's talent is
never highlighted - the music media is always
bad mouthing her lifestyle instead of
concentrating on her talent.
For christ's sake, her old boyfriend, Kurt
Cobain was so f**ked up on booze and drugs he
barely knew where he was most of the time,
but the press concentrated on his MUSIC,
which was GREAT!!!
But when they talk about Courtney it is
always about her drug use, or drinking, or
trouble, and NEVER about her music!!!
I don't think she needs to settle down at
all. She should just keep on putting out the
good music she does and say "screw
you" to those that don't like
her!!!! | GrayBeard | yeah the media always paint her as a bad
person and mother you know in my opinion i
hate all kinds of bad drugs and i love it
when a person cleans up and starts again. but
the media always expect courtney to be off
her face all the time and don't believe
her when she say's she's off drink and
drugs.i ain't saying i hate her for taking
drugs i'm just talking about real life and
the media in general because i know she's
a good person and she's looking after
herself and her child. | coolgirly2 | Hey don't dis Kurt!!!
| teenage_corpse |
I am not dissing Kurt. I am pointing out
that the media disses Courtney (because she
is a female) for things that they do not dis
Kurt for (because he is a male).
Kurt used WAY more drugs than Courtney ever
will, but they never much mention that about
him, just always talk about how he influenced
grunge.
Well, Courtney influenced grunge quite a bit
as well if you consider that she was a HUGE
part of Kurt's life, the influence for a
lot of his writing, in essense his muse. But
do they ever mention her contributions to
music?
Nope. Just always dissing her for her drug
use. | GrayBeard | | lol nice explaining things | YouandMe | hah....she so has done a lot more drugs than
him, but it's all good, right? | teenage_corpse | Total bint, waste of space, self serving,
control freak bully. Apart from that, nice
hair | lisababe85 | | I'd tap her. | NekroGrl | | like her! | damn-freak05 | | | |
