Never a dull moment with Courtney Love. Rock’s reigning car wreck recently appeared on “Late Show With David Letterman” for the first time in six years, and admitted that chemical dependency played a part in her absence.
“I did a lot of coke back then,” she said. “I took pills. ... I’ve been a rock person for a long time.”
The last time she was with Dave, in ‘04, you may recall that Courtney, 45, imitated Drew Barrymore’s infamous flash dance number on the show. After that, Courtney said she soon went into rehab.
“[Rehab] was hard work,” she kvetched to Dave. “You have to write letters to people to apologize. I think I wrote you a letter.”
Courtney, whose band Hole has a new album, “Nobody’s Daughter,” said she attends 12-step meetings and that “it takes a village” to keep her straight.
“I have a psycho-pharmacologist, a psychiatrist ... a Jungian therapist, a life coach,” she said.
Meanwhile, she seems to be trying to wreck other people’s lives, thank you very much. On Howard Stern’s Sirius XM radio show, Courtney recently said she once had a relationship with Gavin Rossdale while the Bush frontman was with Gwen Stefani (who is now his wife).
“I had this vision of marrying Gavin Rossdale one time,” she said. “[We dated for] eight months ... and we were, like, ‘Let’s spend our rock star money!’ We had a really good time. … Man, he was such an Adonis in his day.”
In other Love news, ex-squeeze Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins recently publicly questioned her parenting skills and accused Courtney of stealing songs on the tracks he allegedly created. Apparently, Love has used the tunes on “Nobody’s Daughter.”
“If you can’t write your own songs,” he Twitter’d, “maybe you should just be happy that you fooled someone into doing your work for you. ... Or maybe you should go somewhere nice and live off your husband’s [Kurt Cobain’s] money, u know the money he made for writing all those great songs. The world is aware of your lack of responsibility, as seen in the gov’t taking away your parental right. Only u could abandon such a beautiful, incredible child who is smarter than u, cooler than u, and better than u. Oops, did I say too much?”
Ouch, Billy! You sound ticked!
