Courtney's Financial Calamity
Courtney Love may not be ready for home ownership.
The distressed rocker had another lien filed against her last week for allegedly failing to make monthly maintenance payments on her Crosby Street apartment in the heart of Manhattan's trendy Soho district.
According to court documents posted Tuesday on thesmokinggun.com, Love failed to pay common charges for July and August and owes her building's board of managers over $5,600 dollars.
This is the second time this year management has had to resort to such extreme measures in order to get the heiress to Kurt Cobain's fortune to pay up--in March, the condo board hit Love up for $18,000 in unpaid fees.
While Love's personal freefall in 2004 has been well publicized, her financial woes have gone largely unreported.
While some may find it difficult to believe the former Hole singer and heir to Nirvana songwriting royalties may be close to broke, Love herself has hinted that she is hurting in interviews with Blender magazine, and in her own bizarre, conspiratorial words during drug-induced online postings on message boards like suicidegirls.com.
Although it is highly possible that the infamous singer may be simply too distracted to pay monthly fees in any sort of timely manner, Love told Blender magazine in March that "$40 million has been stolen from me and Frances by a fiduciary institution." The magazine also reported that a former business associate of Love's says she's at least "$4 million in debt."
Regardless of Love's current financial status, the rocker seems to be unable, or unwilling, to make her monthly condo fees for her 4,100-square-foot pad.
The People vs. Larry Flynt star has even had to resort to taking out high-interest loans, according to the Smoking Gun, to secure a two-year mortgage on the apartment, which she reportedly paid $2.64 million for in March 2001.
For her part, Love has stayed mum on this particular report. However, the actress has been talking to selective press outlets lately in an apparent effort to put her image (and failing release America's Sweetheart) back on the up and up after a savage spring and summer filled with arrests, drug charges, hospitalizations and courtroom appearances. (Love was on her best behavior in a wide-ranging Los Angeles Times interview last month after recently being sentenced to 18 months sobriety.)
Currently a defendant in three separate criminal cases, Love is next due in court Sept. 30 in Beverly Hills on drug charges.
