Courtney Love: I set the stage for Britney Spears to crash and burn

Rock chick had a meltdown after Kurt Cobain's death

Courtney Love admits she took drugs while pregnant with daughter Frances Bean

Courtney Love reckons she made it acceptable for Britney Spears to go off the rails.

The rock chick had a meltdown after husband Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994.

And she reckons Britney, 27, followed in her footsteps when she went through her troubles.

'I had a long, hard fall,’ she says. ‘I set the stage for Britney to crash and burn. I went through it all first.'

Courtney, 44, has also rubbished rumours she had a gastric band fitted.

'Baby, if I could get a gastric band I would,’ she tells Elle.

‘I've heard it's a lot of vomiting and a pain in the ass but it's still easier than a diet.'
