Courtney Love 'tried to make overdose fun for daughter'

Courtney Love says she tried to make her recent drugs overdose "fun" for her 11-year-old daughter.

The Hole singer was arrested earlier this month after becoming violent outside a house in Los Angeles.

Hours after she was released by police, she fell ill from an accidental overdose of the narcotic OxyContin.

Love, 39, said her daughter Frances Bean made her green tea as they waited at their Beverly Hills home for an ambulance to arrive.

"That's the only time my daughter has ever, ever, ever pitched in on one of my little crises," Love said.

"I made it fun. I said it was going to be gross and I was going to have to make myself throw up but it was going to be OK," she told People magazine's November 3 edition.

Days later Frances was put in the care of Cobain's mother Wendy O'Connor and a bitter custody battle has since erupted.

Love said: "I'm not on some downward spiral. I'm not on narcotics. I'm fine. I just want my daughter back."

In another interview, Love revealed the battle for Frances was becoming increasingly hostile.

Love has enjoyed a good relationship with O'Connor since Cobain shot himself in 1994 but it soured after her arrest.

BTW, something's fishy here: If the father is Cobain and the Mother is Love, why is the daughter Bean?

Daddy?

Bean is her middle name. They named her that because they thought the sonograms of her resembled a bean. Drugs make you think this sort of thing is clever appearently.

You`ll never understand why she is revered? Name one person in Hollywood or in music today that should be? The celebration of razor sharp, grade A assholes is what the media chooses to shove down the throat of the public 24/7, and until the double digit IQ, Hillary worshipping morons stop throwing them their money, it will continue. Money feeds these idiots and they only thrive because of the morons who feed them this money. Morons are empowered more in this country than people with half a brain, so therefore the morons rule. Who are these morons? You`ll find them everywhere. They are the ones who line up for the Hillary book signings, the ones who actually think it`s a book signing when in fact it is a Presidential campaign that she has been running for herself for the past 6 months. Who are these morons? These morons are the white guys who act like they are black rappers and go "yo yo yo yo" while no one tells them they come across as the biggest Grade A jackasses this side of creation. The morons are all over the place. This is why a puss filled slut skank like Courtney is revered

That headline really shouldn't be funny...but it is.

Courtney, sweetie, I'm the same age as you (a couple of weeks younger, actually) and I eventually figured out that getting blotto was overrated. What's your excuse?

Mr. Jeremy should be careful. He could hurt his reputation hanging around with her.

Haing heard Ms. Love's music, I'm giving new credence to the theory that OxyContin was the cause of Rush's deafness.

The Daughters' name is Frances Bean Cobain.

Bean is her middle name, they just have always called her Frances Bean.

The name "Bean" was inspired because her sonogram looked like a kidney bean.

No kidding. Bear in mind that Cobain's mother actually gave him a lump of coal for Christmas one year...

Having come from an alcoholic family, I can tell you that there is no way in hell to make a parent's addiction fun for a child.

And I actually like Hole's music. As Redd Foxx would have said, "I used to like you, dummy!"
