Courtney Love Poses Au Naturel for Harper’s Bazaar

Wednesday, August 15, 2007

Courtney Love’s birthday was on Monday, and she turned 43. She is celebrating her birthday with a bang by posing au naturel for September’s issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

Courtney has lost a lot of weight; she says it has been from being disciplined.  Love says, “Some people think it’s about weight loss, but it’s about detoxing.” Her weight has always been a source of talk because it obviously has been fluctuating. Love blames her last gaining of major weight was because of a bad break-up and a bad diet. Now she balances her diet with fish and two meal replacement shakes per day. She also fasts several times per year and visits a clinic for colonic cleansings.

She does speak out on actresses that talk about their weight and dieting habits. “I hate reading magazines where the actresses are saying ‘Broccoli and fish, broccoli and fish.’ You liars. You bulimic liars.” Courtney says.

Courtney Love has an album coming out sometime next year called “Nobody’s Daughter.” She says, “It’s the first time I have written sober…the first time I’ve written from a really deep, dark place.”

Love, who was in rehab two years ago because of an addiction to pain killers, says she is trying to leave her troubled past behind her. “I cracked.” She says in Harper’s Bazaar. “And I cracked in public, and so I lost all of my credibility. For many years, I took pills. I felt like I had this dirty little secret. Other people can have glasses and wine and things like that because they’re normal people who can do things like that. But if you’re allergic to that stuff, you just are, and you can’t.”

Courtney Love manages to do just that being in Harper’s Bazaar with only some carefully placed jewelry in the pics. September’s issue of Harper’s Bazaar hits the shelves on August 21.
