Sigh. How long can she continue on?

throwing a bottle and a metal flashlight at her...

WTF?

It is wasn't for the fact that this is Courtney Love we're talking about, I'd almost be suprised. :rolleyes:

But alas, I am not. I've always thought she was one spud short of a sack of potatos and events like this help justify that train of thought.

So throwing a bottle is assault with a deadly weapon now? I suppose, but damn - she must give up half her money already to legal teams...

Love Reschedules Tour Amid Legal Woes

LOS ANGELES - Rocker Courtney Love (news) will not tour in June or July so she can focus on mounting legal troubles — including a felony drug case and an alleged assault with a liquor bottle, her publicist said.

"Love has chosen to take this time to privately address the frivolous, malicious complaints and legal matters that have plagued her this spring," publicist Heidi Schaeffer said in the statement.

Love, 39, and her new band The Chelsea were scheduled to tour in June and July to support Love's new album "America's Sweetheart." Instead, Love will join the band Aug. 1 in Japan, where they will headline the Fuji Festival, according to the statement.

Courtney needs to grow up for her own sake.

Shes not shocking or anything the like anymore.

She's just become a wreck.

@39 a lifestyle change is in order.

Her music? Well...speaks for itself.

Damn shame really. But it happens.

She lives about 10 minutes away from me - Im always careful when I drive by..

J/K - I think 'throwing a bottle' being a felony sounds like overkill to me. Was anyone hurt? No!

The NYTimes music review praised her new album, saying she brings a rebelliousness to rock that is missing from the overcomercialized genre -thats probably true, thought she does sound like a troubled individual.

Courtney Love Ordered to Stand Trial

Superior Court Commissioner Sanjay Kumar listened to testimony from the alleged victim, Kristin King, and a neighbor in the area of the April 25 incident.

"There is uncontroverted evidence that without provocation the defendant threw a bottle at the victim and chased her with a flashlight," he said.
