마약과 섹스에 병적으로 탐닉하는 것으로 알려진 가수이자 영화 배우인 Courtney Love가 종말을 향해 치닫고 있다.
미국 캘리포니아주 베벌리힐스 지방 법원은 12일(이하 한국 시간) 2건의 마약 소지 혐의를 받고 있는 Courtney Love에 대해 구속 영장을 발부했다.
지난 해 10월 초 약물 과다 복용과 전 남자 친구 짐 바버의 집을 훼손한 혐의로 LA에서 체포된 Courtney Love는 줄곧 무죄를 주장해왔다.
Courtney Love는 지난 94년 4월 권총 자살한 얼터너티브 록그룹 Nirvana 의 리드 싱어 Kurt Cobain과 결혼한 적이 있으며 영화 '래리 플린트'에서 연기자로 활약하기도 했다.

 

 

Courtney Love tearfully admitted using drugs in violation of her probation terms today (Aug. 19) in Los Angeles.
The rocker-actress was ordered into a 28-day drug treatment program by a judge who said he had wanted to put her in jail.
"I think that you need to hit rock bottom before you make a decision about what you're going to do in the future," Superior Court Judge Rand Rubin told the sobbing Love.
She was in court for allegedly being under the influence of a controlled substance, which wasn't identified. Love's voice cracked as she said, "Yes, your honor," when asked by Rubin if she understood she was admitting to three probation violations.
The 41-year-old Love was told to enter a drug treatment facility by the end of the day.
Her attorney, Howard Weitzman, wouldn't disclose the name of the facility or whether it was a lock-down program.
The judge ordered her back to court Sept. 16 for sentencing on the probation violations.
"There will be sentencing and some further consequences at that time," Rubin said.
"I think you either need a long-term drug program or a long term in County Jail."

 

Outside court, Weitzman said Love had had a relapse but will "deal with it."
"She's serious. She's sincere. And she's pretty tenacious about getting her life in order." Weitzman said.
The lawyer explained Love had violated terms of probation in one case but that "if you violate in one you violate in all."
Love, the former lead singer for the band Hole and the widow of Kurt Cobain, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge on Feb. 10.
She was already on probation in two unrelated drug cases.
Earlier this month, the judge issued a bench warrant for Love's arrest, but he agreed to hold it pending today's hearing.
At a red carpet event this month, Love said: "I'm clean and sober for over a year and no one seems to care! They're like, 'Oh, her dramatic weight gain.' So, stop making fun of me!"
In July, a judge praised the singer for making progress in a court-ordered drug treatment program.
The treatment is tied to a misdemeanor count of being under the influence of a controlled substance in 2003 when police alleged she tried to break into a former boyfriend's home.
