Love Pleads Not Guilty to Assault
So many court dates, so little time.
Courtney Love was back in court Friday, pleading innocent to clocking another woman with a variety of blunt objects, including a flashlight and a liquor bottle.
The assault with a deadly weapon charge stems from an alleged April 25 smackdown at the home of Love's former manager and onetime boyfriend, Jim Barber. She's accused of assaulting singer-guitarist Kristin King, 32, who was inadvertently drawn into a brawl between Love and Barber.
Love, who wore a long black dress, camel coat and black shoes, kept Friday's courtroom theatrics to a minimum and answered the judge's questions with a brief "yes" and "no."
But after the arraignment the embattled rocker confessed to feeling a little shaky. "It's scary," she told reporters. "I'm scared. It's scary...I just want to play music, and being in that court and having a judge say 'the state of California versus me,' it's just scary."
(Note to Courtney: Staying out of trouble would probably go a long way on the musical front.)
Otherwise, Love was in fine form, chatting about concert tours with a guitar-savvy newshound in the elevator and acknowledging a bystander who shouted out to her as she was leaving Los Angeles' Criminal Courts Building.
Speaking to the press as she got in her car, Love said, "This is so boring. It's got to be boring for you guys, too." And when asked whether she felt she was being targeted because of her celebrity, she responded, "Do you? Do you? There's a war on."
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Dennis Mulcahy set a preliminary hearing for Oct. 7. He also inked a protective order intended to keep the former Hole frontwoman from contacting or coming within 100 yards of King, except through her lawyer.
Here's hoping Love makes it to court in two months. Mulcahy previously issued a warrant for the singer's arrest on her 40th birthday when she failed to show for her original arraignment July 9. That same day she turned up at New York's Bellevue Hospital for an "emergency gynecological condition."
Love was later smuggled into California and secretly surrendered to authorities to avoid the potential embarrassment of being busted in public.
In related legal news, Love's been ordered to 18 months of rehab after she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count stemming from a cocaine-fueled rampage last fall outside Barber's house. (She is already in treatment.)
She has also been ordered to stand trial Sept. 30 on two felony drug charges for illegal possession of painkillers and faces charges of assault and reckless endangerment in New York after allegedly bonking a guy in the head with a mike stand during a nightclub show earlier this year.
