Courtney Love: “If I could get a gastric band I would”

In the interview for the upcoming January issue of  UK Elle, Courtney Love admits considering having a gastric band done. “Baby, if I could get a gastric band I would!”, says the 44-year-old singer whos new album Nobody’s Daughter comes out early next year. Further on, Courtney talks about botched liposuction, Russell Brand and her daughter Frances Bean, fathered by Kurt Cobain.

On gastric band, liposuction, dieting: “Baby, if I could get a gastric band I would! I’ve heard it’s a lot of vomiting and a pain in the ass, but it’s still easier than a diet. I did go to see a Hollywood doctor about it. I wasn’t desperate, I just knew I had to do something. He said no. I might have been fat, but I wasn’t that fat. I tried lipo on my stomach after that. It was horrible and it didn’t work.”

On Russell Brand: “Look, I swear that Russell Brand and me are just really good friends. I don’t want to have sex with him. I actually have a very satisfactory sexual life, thank you very much.”

On drugs and her 16-year-old daughter: “My daughter knows I did drugs in my first trimester of pregnancy. She weighed 7lb 6oz when she was born and she was healthy. We were excellent parents and I say that despite pretty much always having an edge on. Frances bonded very well with her father, at least in the first year and a half of her life.”
