(Oct. 6) - Courtney Love continues to deny it, but News of the World claims to have proof that Kurt Cobain's widow had a gastric band inserted in order to slim down.
"Courtney keeps laughing to her friends and saying, 'Everyone thinks I've had hypnosis but why bother with all that effort? All I did was check myself in and have a fat band fitted,'" a friend of Love's tells News of the World.

"Courtney has always had problems with her appearance and is convinced she is ugly and fat. Two years ago she had a gastric band fitted at a surgery in Beverly Hills," the friend adds.
"And as soon as she had the operation the excess weight started to drop off her. Now she is just skin and bones and looks terrible," they finish.
Back in 2007 rumors first surfaced about Love's dramatic weight loss plan but the rocker fought back, saying she did it the old fashioned way.
"I lost weight the hard way and people can't accept it. Whenever ANYONE loses weight by determination and grit, it's suspect," she wrote on her blog.

Okay, that's fine that she lost the weight, maybe she'll have a healthier and longer life now (who knows, maybe all those drugs she's done have taken their toll?) BUT she should STILL do something about all that extra skin around her middle. Come on Courtney!! Get a FREAKIN' tummy tuck and THEN where the bikini!! EEEEEEWWWWW!!

Courrtney Love is a celebrity b/c of 3 reasons: 1. She was in a group named after a vagina. 2. She was married to a musical genius famous in the 1990's. 3.She was in one good movie - "The People vs. Larry Flynt." She was actually nominated for a Golden Globe award. I don't even remember if she won, but I'll put my money on it that she didn't! She's in the same skanky, washed-up condition that some other actresses of her caliber are in: Pam Anderson and Amy Winehouse!! Eww.. I wouldn't even want to be sitting in the same room w/ any of those actresses.. I wouldn't want to catch anything from them, and Lord knows, they are a walking disease, or at least that's what they all appear as.

A little meat on those bones sure would help that belly flab. This is certainly proof that skinny is not all it takes to be beautiful.

Can you say photoshopped? Good Lord. She wasn't near as big as Anna Nicole. Even if she did lose with either drugs or lap band, she would sag that much. And she's never been a real fashionista, so why would you expect her to wear anything but those dime store rags.

Good for her. She will be healthier. However, the bikini is a no no. A one piece would have been way better.

IS IT ME OR DOES ANYBODY ELSE SEE ANNA NICOLE SMITH IN THE BEFORE PICTURE? BEFORE I READ IT I THOUGHT IT WAS HER. SHE'S IT'S A SHAME WHAT SHE'S DONE TO HERSELF. DOES SHE OWN A MIRROR? THE SAGGY FOLDS OF SKIN ON HER ABS AND THE BULDGES ON HER STOMACH MUST BE HARD TO LOOK AT...AND SHE'S WEARING A BIKINI. DOES ANYBODY SEE ANNA NICOLE SMITH IN THE "BEFORE" PICTURE. SHE MAY BE CHUBBY>>>BUT BEAUTIFUL. I THOUGHT IT WAS HER BEFORE I READ IT.

It doesn't matter band or gastric she lost the weight. It's keeping it off that won't be easy. The wrinkles are common when someone loses a lot of weight. The skin is streached out. After two years it has sucked in as far as it will. Then the only chices are to live with it or more surgery. She's lucky most women have far more excess skin!

SWID89160: What in the hell are you ranting about? Your post has absolutely NOTHING to do with the topic at hand, and I don't need you or anyone else suggesting to me how to vote. Excuse me for not practicing what I preach for a moment, but I would vote for a chia pet before I would ever cast a vote for Barak Obama. Now back to the topic at hand.........if someone asks how you lost weight and you are too vain to admit to any type of procedure, there is such a thing as a tactful answer...like "A lot of sacrificing" or "slowly"...etc....Like I said, I don't see what the big shame is in just telling the truth......
