According to News of the World, Courtney Love went to drastic measures to shed a few pounds. A source close to Courtney told the tab the singer had a gastric band implanted on her stomach two years ago to drop the seventy extra pounds she gained after she gave up crack, or whatever the hell she used to smoke.
A friend of Love, 44, told the News of the World: “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.’
“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.
“Lots of doctors refused to do it as she was nowhere near obese, just a little overweight, but eventually she found one.
“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.”
Courtney, meanwhile, attributed the weight lose to pilates and a low calorie diet.

Pilates makes you look BETTER, Courtney. Not worse. And hey, Star Jones swore for years that she didn’t do the surgery either. But we all knew better, Court.

Wouldn’t she have a big ol scar from getting a lap band?

I had the lap band put in and I have six scars on my stomach that’s very visible, so if she did have it done, I want to know the secret of hiding them. I doubt this rumor very much, but it wouldn’t shock me. I still love her, been a fan of hers since ‘93!

Good god, I hope pilates didn’t make her body look like that. I start taking private lessons next week.
