Here are some new Courtney Love candid pictures, taken in Beverly Hills on Thursday (March 6) as she was out and about with her friend “Dirty Harry” (aka Victoria Harrison).
Courtney is still very skinny, but I think she looks pretty good here (I’m not that sure about the outfit though)…
Here was one of Courtney Love’s resolutions for 2007:
“Try this ‘thin’ anthropoligical experiment—get to my goal weight healthily and stay there.”
The people at Radar Online, however, believe that Courtney’s resolution went somewhat wrong. Here is their verdict:
As her lips continued to grow, the rest of Love continued to shrink, all part of her “anthropoligical” plan to slim down and stay relevant. In the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the 43-year-old credited colonics and fasting with getting her to 139 pounds (a number as believable as Kurt’s suicide note), and said, “I hate reading magazines where the actresses are saying, ‘Broccoli and fish, broccoli and fish.’” Better to talk about one’s colonics. And better to be photographed as a bikini grotesquerie than not at all. This was one of 50 resolutions Love posted on her website. Others include “becom[ing] a women [sic] of limitless self esteem,” “dont go to nightclubs with 19 year olds,” “learn an Asian language,” and “chant for Hillary to win.” [Source]
In case you were wondering how Courtney Love got so skinny, her diet secret was recently revealed. She lost more than 40 pounds in three months by putting a lock on her fridge.
The 44-year-old star bolted her fridge and gave the key to her housekeeper in a bid to help her stick to the strict diet.She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “I was at a charity event and my friend Sting said to me ‘Why don’t you do a body transformation?’ I was about to start working on a new album and I was feeling experimental. It made me wonder what it would be like to be skinny.
Courtney says losing weight is hard - she compared it to kicking a drugs addiction.
Courtney’s tough dieting regime includes two meal-replacement milkshakes a day for breakfast and lunch followed by steamed fish and vegetables for dinner.The diet has helped the actress-and-singer to lose 51lbs since Christmas and Courtney now weights 137lbs.
Courtney says she has no intention of losing any more weight and admits she gets fed up when her Hollywood friends say they need to slim down.
She said: “I was out to dinner with Gwyneth Paltrow and Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth said, ‘I’m fat.’ I was like, ‘I’m going to smack you. Shut up.’
“The first time I met Gwyneth I was really nasty to her because I was jealous. I felt inadequate.
“But I will never be a size zero because my ribs are too big. I also have a pretty big head so I wouldn’t look right. If I got under 120lbs that would be a problem - I’d start looking like a crazy person.” [Source]
Courtney also says she has tried the macrobiotic diet that so many celebrities are on, but it made her fat.
“I gained 40 to 50 pounds on macrobiotic food,” Love, who turns 43 on Monday, told PEOPLE Tuesday at the Givenchy Haute Couture autumn/winter show in Paris.
Her epiphany came after she did a photo shoot for Italian Vogue at 182 lbs. “At the time I had Gwyneth’s cook who does macro food,” she said.
“I thought, it can’t make me fat – he’s Gwyneth’s cook! [But] I saw those pictures and thought ‘Oh my God!’ 182 lbs. does not look good on me. Nothing fit.”
Her solution? “I put the non-Photoshopped pictures on my fridge and had a lock fixed on it. My daughter Frances has her carbs in one drawer. I don’t know where it is. I drink shakes and exercise my [butt] off. Isopure, no carbs – two shakes and one meal: fish. Fish and broccoli really does work!” [Source]
I had no new pictures of Courtney Love to put up, so I used this great video clip of her singing ‘Pacific Coast Highway‘ at House of Blues on June 1st, 2007. Enjoy it!
Here’s another bikini post - this time it’s a celebrity I would never have thought would be on this blog: Courtney Love.
I have to admit I’m surprised by how good she looks for her age (and especially for her lifestyle). There are a lot of girls half her age that don’t look as good as she does.
