More drama in the life of Courtney Love. Love was due back in court on Friday, this time in LA over allegations she attacked a woman with a bottle and a flashlight back in Apr. As is so often the case, Love did not make it to the court hearing. Given her record for failing to show up for court hearings, and despite claims by Love's lawyer that there had been a mix up about the timing of the hearing, the judge hearing the case - Dennis E. Mulcahy - decided to go hardline. He withdrew Love's bail and put out a warrant for her arrest. "She's in violation," Mulcahy said in court, "Why should I treat her any differently than anyone else that fails to appear in this courtroom?"

But the drama didn't stop there. Love was at her apartment in New York. Following reports early in the day that she was throwing bottles out of a fourth floor window, later on paramedics were called to the flat to deal with a medical emergency. She was taken to a local hospital who confirmed she had been admitted to their care with a "a gynaecological medical condition". Some reports suggest Love has had a miscarriage, though her legal people would only say: "this incident was not a suicide attempt, not drug-related, not drug-overdose-related."

...The assault charge in LA is one of a number of pending court cases in the life of Courtney Love - she also faces various drugs charges and a charge of allegedly assaulting a fan during an impromptu performance in New York earlier this year.

What the latest legal developments will mean to Love's currently-on-hold tour, which was due to restart with the Fuji Festival in Japan on 1 Aug remains to be seen.
