Love on Stern
Published February 13, 2004
Despite not being too keen to talk to the courts about those pending drugs
charges - Courtney Love found time to chat to Howard Stern yesterday. Having
missed a court hearing earlier this week in which her legal people were
hoping to get her out of a custodial sentence by committing her to attend a
drugs rehab programme, Love yesterday called Howard Stern's radio show to
give her side of the story.
During the not entirely coherent conversation, Love made a number of
allegations, including repeating claims that various family members, including Kurt Cobain's mother Wendy O'Connor, and an unnamed bank, are after her daughter Frances Bean's trust fund.
When pulled back to her no show at court she talked a little about security threats and not having a bodyguard, before ranting: "What have I done? Other
than be a woman who owns stuff and is proud of it and is arrogant about it? Why isn't the government supporting me? The DA has got it in for me and I don't know why. My house is bugged."
Stern then tried to coach Love in how she should behave if and when she shows up to court next week - recommending she eat some humble pie to score some brownie points. Love responded "This is absurd. I went to rehab for 30 days. I'm great in court. I'm good with judges. Stop it."
Despite the seemingly unplanned nature of yesterday's phone call, Love is
expected to phone in again this morning. She is due back in court next week and faces arrest if she doesn't show this time.

I actually heard the interview yesterday and it was...painful...to say the least. It was probably the first time I ever felt an inkling of respect for Howard Stern. He was making total sense and really trying to help her..she was doing shooters I think...it's sad, most especially for that child.
