For almost a year, Courtney Love talked to The Fix about the cost of fame and her daily struggle with sobriety. Her candid confessions and a host of surprising new revelations are captured in The Fix’s first e-book, Courtney Comes Clean.

Maer Roshan first met Courtney Love on an unseasonably balmy New York evening in September 2010, a night before she was scheduled to headline an annual event to celebrate sobriety.

Roshan, the editor and founder of The Fix, arrived at SoHo’s tony Mercer Hotel armed with a note-pad and a tape recorder. He discovered Courtney slouched in a banquette, nursing a bottle of Stella Artois. Though their meeting was initially scheduled to last just 30 minutes, they went on speaking for close to a year. Holed up in her cluttered, couture-filled suite, the battle-scarred legend spoke movingly about her thrilling and often tragic life—candidly dwelling on her longtime struggles with addiction, her ambivalence about AA, and her stints in rehab.

Courtney Love will NOT be evicted from her luxury Manhattan townhouse — TMZ has learned, a judge just tossed out the landlord’s case, because it turns out Courtney did exactly what a good tenant is supposed to do — pay her rent.

Courtney’s landlord filed the eviction lawsuit, claiming she owed $54,000 for 2 months of back rent.  But the judge just ruled the landlord was way off base.  Turns out the landlord and Courtney had made an agreement after the lease was signed that altered the payment schedule.  Courtney was paying according to the new deal, but the landlord was trying to enforce the original one.

So bottom line … Courtney gets to stay.

P.S.  The landlord said originally that in addition to owing rent, Courtney accidentally set the joint on fire.  The judge didn’t address the whole fire thing.

Scott Lipps, president of One Management, tweeted the news: “This Wednesday night @Courtney @Holerock @CBabymichelle secret show, NYC…stay tuned…@Nurkhan1.” He followed up that tweet with another confirmation of the gig this morning (Nov. 8), stating that he’s headed to “work, then off to rehearsals with @Holerock @Courtney @CBabymichelle for tomorrows show and #Brazil…” From the tweets, it sounds like this is a warm-up gig for Hole’s upcoming overseas appearances.

Courtney Love has been given an honorary patronage by an Irish university.

The Hole frontwoman was honored yesterday (18.10.11) with the Trinity College Philosophical Society’s Honorary Patronage, and posed for pictures and chatted about her life with students.

Courtney - who attended the institute for two semesters as a teenager - joins other famous faces including Bob Geldof, Naomi Campbell, David Hasselhoff and Al Pacino in receiving the honor.

The accolade is only awarded to people “whose contribution within their sphere is considered exceptional” and recipients are charged with “protecting the Society and using their good names to ensure its continued survival”.

NEW YORK (AP) — Courtney Love is ready to spill.

The hard-living rock star and actress known for her band Hole and for her brief marriage to Kurt Cobain has a book deal with William Morrow.

Morrow is an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. It announced Thursday that Love will “set the record straight.”

Her memoir will address life with Cobain, the Nirvana leader who died in 1994, her drug problems and her Hollywood career.

The memoir is currently untitled and is scheduled to come out next fall.

She’s among several musicians who recently agreed to write memoirs. Those include Neil Young, Pete Townshend, Carole King and Gregg Allman.
