Courtney Love: Britney Spears' Role Model

Courtney Love
Courtney Love told Elle Magazine that she had a public meltdown long before Britney Spears, and deserves credit for it.

"I had a long, hard fall," said Love. "I set the stage for Britney to crash and burn. I went through it all first."

Uh, hasn't she ever heard of Adam Ant?

Both Love and Spears temporarily lost custody of their children because of drug problem allegations, and both have spent time in rehab. Maybe Love's just jealous that Spears' antics didn't destroy her career (or face). Spears' 2007 crazy-period album, Blackout, reached #2 on the U.S. sales chart. Love's last record, America's Sweetheart, peaked at #52.

Love also talked with Elle about her weight loss. That's one thing she can't say Spears stole from her. Spears was criticized for being out of shape at the 2007 MTV Video Awards, while Love's weight has fluctuated dramatically in recent years.

Love's latest run-on ramblings can be found in this Nov. 28 MySpace blog entry. Good luck trying to get through it.
