There’s not a lot of dignity in being Courtney Love.

Do you like this story?

Love

When I first saw these shots of Courtney being wheeled around LA in a shopping trolley, I thought "oh good, rehab going well". It turns out that she broke her toe and that’s why she’s in the trolley because, you know, crutches are so 2007.
After the jump, a clip of said trolley incident and I’m STILL thinking "oh good, rehab going well".

Love

    Gig, I can’t believe you think Courtney’s cool? And I don’t think the point to the story was telling us that she broke her toe…
    Courtney’s a sad shadow of her former self. I just feel sorry for Frances Bean watching her mum do this to herself…

    Ok, I can understand not wanting crutches. But a shopping trolley? What’s wrong with a wheelchair?
    And Judy’s right…back in the days when Hole were still recording, and she had better things to do with her time than get high and sue Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl for all they’ve got to support said habit (no, I don’t hold an irrational grudge against the woman at all), she actually looked quite good a lot of the time.

    I have the book on the life story of US makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin, and in it are some gorgeous photos of women he made up during his career. (He died quite young from the effects of a genetic disease, poor man) Among these photos is one of Courtney Love, looking quite stunning, and seriously pretty. She’s gone seriously downhill since then… I saw more pics of her looking like that pale mauve skeleton – simply ghastly. You have to feel sorry for her, even if she’s her own worst enemy.

    Ladies ladies… I can’t believe you’re siding with Courtney Love. I’m with you Mia, all the way.

    All sympathy to her -
    I had a broken ankle not so long ago and FIRSTLY I got entirely, utterly, totally fed up with answering the “what did you do?” question. I can’t SAY how sick I was of this; even inventing good stories didn’t help.
    SECONDLY crutches are truly awful and really hard work. It didn’t take long before I had (are you waiting?) not only the original sore foot, but sore arms, sore armpits, sore back, sore chest, sore hands, sore neck and sore OTHER leg. If someone had picked me up and put me in a trolley sometimes I’d've been profoundly, profoundly grateful. Not only that, the degree of difficulty for everything goes through the roof, and it is incredibly frustrating. It is miserable, and I tell you you resort to some pretty desperate stuff to save yourself from having to stand up and carry all your weight on your hands one more time.
    The only thing Courtney Love did wrong was get caught!
