Courtney Love 'tried to make overdose fun for daughter'

Courtney Love says she tried to make her recent drugs overdose "fun" for her 11-year-old daughter.

The Hole singer was arrested earlier this month after becoming violent outside a house in Los Angeles.

Hours after she was released by police, she fell ill from an accidental overdose of the narcotic OxyContin.

Love, 39, said her daughter Frances Bean made her green tea as they waited at their Beverly Hills home for an ambulance to arrive.

"That's the only time my daughter has ever, ever, ever pitched in on one of my little crises," Love said.

"I made it fun. I said it was going to be gross and I was going to have to make myself throw up but it was going to be OK," she told People magazine's November 3 edition.

Days later Frances was put in the care of Cobain's mother Wendy O'Connor and a bitter custody battle has since erupted.

Love said: "I'm not on some downward spiral. I'm not on narcotics. I'm fine. I just want my daughter back."

In another interview, Love revealed the battle for Frances was becoming increasingly hostile.

Love has enjoyed a good relationship with O'Connor since Cobain shot himself in 1994 but it soured after her arrest.

That's just awful. whatever "I made my OD fun for her by telling her I was gonna puke" ...wtf? That makes no sense. I'd be like "Mom, you fucking junkie. I know you're gonna have to puke. I've seen you do this before, you no longer have to spell out the details of how it's gonna go..."

Ten bucks it wasn't like, "Oh God, I just got out of jail. I need something to make me relax," but more like, "Oh God, they wouldn't let me have my pills in jail! When I get home I'm taking 30 of them!" confused

What strikes me as oddest about this story is that she seems to have no idea of how it could be taken. I think she wants it to sound like, "Well, I'm OK, no big deal", without realizing it puts the image of an 11 year old girl watching her mommy OD on Oxycontin in our heads.

(AP) Actress-singer Courtney Love was charged with two felony drug counts Tuesday in a complaint that specified she illegally possessed painkillers.

The two painkillers, hydrocodone and oxycodone, can be prescribed legally.

Love surrendered voluntarily and was booked by Beverly Hills police, district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.

She said bail was recommended at $20,000 and the court will consider whether Love is eligible for a drug diversion program.

"If she had prescriptions, we would not be charging illegal possession," Gibbons said.

The charges stem from an incident earlier this month when Love, 39, was arrested and booked on two misdemeanor drug counts after she allegedly tried to break into a Los Angeles home.

Hours after she was released, Beverly Hills police and paramedics were called to her home and took Love to a hospital for treatment of a drug overdose. The new charges relate to the overdose.

The performer is the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the 1996 movie "The People vs. Larry Flynt."
