Courtney Love's Doctor Says She Needs To Start Eating
Well, we could have told her that!
Courtney Love is reportedly suffering from malnutrition.
The 'Celebrity Skin' singer - whose recent frail and thin appearance has
caused concern - admits she has spoken to doctors about her dramatic weight
loss and is determined to get healthy again.
Speaking about her diagnosis two weeks ago, she said:
"The doctor gave me a
massive shot of vitamins and told me to start eating.
"Seriously, I want to get fatter. You know, when I was 192lbs I thought I
looked hot. I'm serious about putting on weight - I want to get curvy. I
know I've got too skinny. I want to sort it out."
Courtney - who admits she was shocked to learn she weighs just 118lbs, and
is underweight for her 5ft 10in frame - has blamed the stress of the alleged
fraud of $200 million from her late husband Kurt Cobain's estate for her
weight loss.
"I need to start working out again. It's the stress - you have no
idea what it has been like these last few months. I need to get to the
bottom of this fraud, I need answers.
"I have had to escape from Los Angeles, I can't cope there any more."
The 44-year-old star is staying in New York and relying on the support of
close pals including Sting, his wife Trudie Styler, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
She added to Britain's Grazia magazine:
"I have great friends, they have
been looking after me since I was diagnosed with malnutrition. This is one
of the reasons I came to New York, to visit friends who can cook for me.
"I am a big fan of Gwyneth's Goop website, I'm trying to do the nourish
yourself on the inside thing."
Hopefully, good friends and Goop will help her out. We've seen Courtney's low and it ain't pretty.

When she got off drugs there for a bit, she gained a lot of weight and the media ripped the hell out of her. It's obvious she's back on the drugs and it's a shame. The media really should back off when it comes to addiction. Courtney was doing good for herself finally and they just had to break her down while she was in a very vulnerable state. Imagine being called a fat porker on the cover of every grocery store magazine while you're just trying to get healthy. That's gotta be hard to take.

she actually looks alive in the face so I don't think it's all drugs. She does look sickly though.

It's great she acknowledges that she needs help and she's ready to put on the weight to become healthier.

She is lying that she thought she looked hot at 192lbs because she has been weight-obsessed for years according to so many interviews with her I have read in the past. She would be 140lbs and be complaining that she felt she looked so overweight.

She lost all the weight beacuse she had gastric bypass surgery. Pre-Surgery she was 192lbs at 5'9" - she was not obese and no weight loss surgery should have been done - but it was now she looks sick probably because her body isn't absorbing enough nutrients.... guess money talks.....her doctor should be sued for proceeding w/ the surgery!

Admiting is the first step. Atleast she sees that she needs to gain weight.
Poor woman. At least she knows that she really needs to be healthy again.

Ugh, she looks horrendous.
Would love to hear the words, "you need to start eating" from my doc.

This woman can't catch a break. People used to accuse her of killing Kurt, critics raped her solo album a few years back, and more recently magazines have knocked her for her looks. She's basically been bashed in every way possible. She likely controls food the way she wishes she could control the rest of her life. I wish her the best in her recovery.

This goes to show you that you can "have it all" and still be effed up and miserable.
I hope she does get the help she needs and commits to her health.
How sad for her daughter. One parent killed himself and the other is Courtney Love. I hope she turns out alright.
Oh dear.....
She looks terrible. The media really should back off when it comes to addiction.
