Courtney Love Repudiates Her Bad Reputation

Walking disaster area Courtney Love is tired of her public image as the Lindsay Lohan of an earlier generation and is in the market to be taken serious.

Or so she has told thefix.com. Begging an answer to the musical question, why discuss not being a junkie to a website called the fix, this is what she had to say: "I've been maligned as this drug freak for years, and I'm getting tired of it. That's not the way I live anymore. Obviously I've had a lot of issues in the past, but that was years ago. Since then, I've worked really hard to get myself together, but for some reason I've remained a punch-line…

"I don't do smack. I don't do crack anymore. I've never taken Special K (ketamine) or Ecstasy. I've been tempted, but every time I've wanted to try Ecstasy, I was talked out of it. I did do MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine, the narcotic ingredient of Ecstasy), however, a very long time ago…"

OK, well, 2010 she was a complete disaster reaching his nadir with her Losing custody of her daughter, calling her daugher a prospectus junkie to the press, and trying to make friends with her on twitter.

Professionally, her band Hole was atrocious at T5 April 2010

And if she really doesn't want a plank like Kelly Osbourne dissing her she might start by

a) Not being insulting about her dead husband in the press

and

b) Proving herself to her daughter.

and

c) releasing a halfway decent album
