Courtney Love: I'm broke

She's in a huge financial hole

Courtney Love was married to the late Kurt Cobain for 2 years

Courtney Love's crazy lifestyle is finally taking its toll. In a text to a friend, she said: ‘I'm f***ed now, dude. 
I have 120 bucks, my kid hasn't had a decent meal and I'm getting evicted.'

The 45-year-old widow of Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain looked alarmingly haggard recently as she strolled near the New York Mercer Hotel, where she's currently living.

Courtney has no means of paying her hotel bill after being denied access to the £750,000 trust fund set up for her daughter Frances, 17.

‘Courtney's a complete shopaholic,' says a source. ‘She's been to counselling, but attended only one session. She'll think nothing of blowing thousands like Michael Jackson did, but she hasn't got his millions. She could end up on the street now.'

Last month, the ex-Hole singer revealed that she was living off the generosity of hotel staff, saying: ‘They're the best staff in the world. When my bank account got frozen, we had $14.32 [£9] a week, so we lived off the kindness of strangers.'

It's been revealed that Courtney owes £220,000 to American Express and is being sued by her security guards for missing payments totalling £38,000.

In April she employed ‘forensic accountants' to track down and retrieve more than £19 million that she claims can't be accounted for.
