Courtney Love Ordered to Rehab For Drug Relapse

[KiwiCoromandel]

US rock diva Courtney Love, who narrowly escaped jail time earlier this year, is in hot water again after a judge ordered her to answer allegations she violated probation by using drugs.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rand Rubin issued a bench warrant for Love's arrest, but agreed to hold it pending a hearing on August 19, which he ordered the 41-year-old widow of grunge rocker Kurt Cobain to attend.

"I'm certainly not happy with what's going on," Rubin said during a brief hearing, noting that he wanted a report from Love's drug counsellor.

Tearful Courtney Love ordered into rehab facility

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A judge ordered a tearful Courtney Love into an in-patient substance abuse facility on Friday after the troubled rock singer admitted to violating the terms of her probation by using drugs.

Love broke down in quiet sobs as Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Rand Rubin warned that he was prepared to send her to jail because he felt she needed "to hit rock bottom" before she was ready to overcome her drug addiction.

i thought 'hitting rock bottom' was totally lying in the gutter in your puke (not jail). you learn something new every day.

Come on now. I don't believe you haven't seen people get addicted to the needles. <_>

Heroin and Morphine addicts have a 6-8 year life span. 1 in 20 that gives it up isn't using again within 24 months.

then i must be dead for like 30 years over here (I KNEW IT!)

what i meant was WHY DID SHE HAVE TO GAIN SO MUCH WEIGHT? w/her contacts &c, i'm sure she knows personal trainers and such...i once thought she was very pretty.

There was a story on here about that. Maybe she really did give it up for awhile.

I've never seen a similar case when the person could afford to induge their whims either. :yup:

:bigsmile: I left out the word "average" from my last post. Some people keep the average up for the others.

*cough* :)

i used to meet this lawyer dude in harlem almost every weekend...he'd been living a 'normal' life (as it appeared to others) for decades (he was about 50 or so) but on weekends he'd cop for the rest of the week. he was still doing it in the mid-80s.

She should have been listening to Paul

It can be. But every addict is different. "Hitting bottom" is a personal thing. Everyone has a different "bottom".
