First up, the rumors of Courtney Love’s suicide have been proven false by the Drudge Report:

FALSE COURTNEY LOVE SUICIDE RUMORS FILL INTERNET: LAPD Officer Kathi Simpson of the Media Relations office says detectives report that the suicide in the 8500 block of Mulholland Drive in the Mount Olympus area does not involve a celebrity. Off duty police officer reportedly killed self early in morning in secluded area off famous drive…

Unfortunately, it sounds like Love might be chasing the old chemical train again, as the Page Six item below suggests. This makes me sadCourtney’s choice of pudgy sobriety over svelte messiness was, to me, the most impressive work she’d done since The People Vs. Larry Flynt. But perhaps the chants of “fat, fat, FAT!” drove her back to the drugs. (I blame you, Adrian Ryan!)

Page Six report on Courtney’s “druggy” behavior:

August 12, 2005 -- YESTERDAY'S announcement that Courtney Love had tested positive for drugs came as no surprise to anyone who attended the Comedy Central roast of Pamela Anderson Sunday night at the Sony Studios in L.A. Love was "out of it" when she arrived. On the red carpet, she slammed her head into a photographer's lens while posing for a close-up, a source said. During the roast, Love, seated on the dais, repeatedly flashed her crotch at the crowd, pulled up her shirt to reveal a lacy black bra and shouted "Drugs on the house!" She babbled incoherently into the microphone for ten minutes prompting more than a few people to tell the rocker to be quiet. After Love shouted, "I'm sober over a year now," host Jimmy Kimmel said, "If this is sober, there is a real problem." One audience member snickered, "She makes Andy Dick look like a choirboy." The roast will be televised Sunday at 10 p.m., but sources say Love's antics will "have to be cut. Even Comedy Central can't run most of what she did." Love's manager didn't return calls.
