Courtney Love Two Hours Late for Hearing

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Rock star Courtney Love showed up two hours late Tuesday for a hearing on drug charges and was scolded by the judge after talking out of turn in court.

Love's attorney Michael Rosenstein won a delay of the preliminary hearing after arguing that witnesses needed to be brought in from out of state and that he had not received drug samples for testing.

But the brief proceeding was marked by interjections from Love, who claimed to have prescriptions for the drugs and at another point seemed to fire and immediately rehire her lawyer.

"I have the pill bottles on me," she blurted.

At another point she said to her attorney, "You're fired."

"Miss Love, you're not doing yourself any favors," Superior Court Judge Elden Fox said.

"Rehired," Love said.

Love, former lead singer of the group Hole, is charged with illegal possession of the painkillers hydrocodone and oxycodone.

She was arrested in October after allegedly trying to break into the Los Angeles home of a former boyfriend. Police found the drugs later when paramedics were called to her house after Love suffered a drug overdose.

The judge rescheduled the preliminary hearing for April 15.

Prosecutor Jeff Stodel argued against a delay, saying, "We're ready to go."

Saffron: Shall I throw up on something for you?

(Edina puts on her vest jacket)

Saffron: Oh, I see someone already has.

"she should join Whitney in rehab"


That's what I was thinking.The two of them could become buddies and help/support each other through their rehab.Remember several years ago,when both of them were doing movies? Their careers were really taking off,but the drug problems have slowed things down for them.

Well, compared to her appearance 17th february she looked at least a little better yesterday...

Lock her up and throw away the key.

I didn't see the episode, but I heard she was extremely wasted on
the Letterman show last night.

Then, she got herself arrested afterwards.

Revolution said:

Really?!

Damn, she should be locked up just for being Counrtney Love, who's is the epitome of someone who is famous and successful for nothing.


Then we'd have to lock up Paris Hilton and many others as well I guess...

noepie said:

I totally agree with you. She's a loser through and through. I hope her child will be raise by responsible loving people who are not always high on drugs and acting like a complete skank!

In the words of Big Boi from "Roses"...

"Crazy Bitch.
Stupid-ass Bitch.
Ol' Dumb-ass Bitch."

NEW YORK - MARCH 17: Musician Courtney Love arrives barefoot at her Soho residence after taping the Late Show With David Letterman March 17, 2004 in New York City. Love walked barefoot for a few blocks after her limousine became caught in traffic.

That's a ugly bitch. Plus she just looks like she stinks.

I love Girls in Uniforms. Too bad about the junkie-mom in the picture.

She was an absolute mess on Letterman last night. She flashed him a few times (did the whole Drew Barrymore on the desk bit). God knows what she was on. She couldn't sit still. Thankfully she had on dark tights under her skirt. Or else we would've got a flash of whether she was wearing panties or not.

Raven said:

Then she got arrested after the show for beaning some dude in the head w/ her microphone stand at a nightclub.

How long will this behavior go on?
I hope the guy she hit with the microphone stand
sues her for all of Cobains money.

Why, do you know the guy?

A Leopard will NEVER change its spots...

Anxiety said:

Does it matter if thedoorkeeper knows the guy? Courtney (and others like her) think they can do anything they like anytime and not pay the price. People need to be held accountable for the things they do whether they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs or not.

moussemaker said:

she wore that atrocity to the letterman show?!?

I feel soooo sorry for Frances. Poor kid.

kisscamille said:

Exactly & no I don't know the guy.

kisscamille said:

People are actin' like she's the highway strangler or something. If you sit in the front at a Gallagher show, be prepared to pick some watermelon outta your hair. If you go to the front of a Courtney Love show, be prepared to pick lord only KNOWS what outta your hair.

On the other hand:
