Courtney Love Talks Body, Jude

Courtney Love is used to weighing in on the issues of the day. She's not used to weighing in quite so lightly.

The Hole frontwoman unveiled a dramatically slimmed down bod on the beaches of Maui this week and is crediting her 44-pound-and-counting weight loss on a more positive outlook overall.

Well, a more positive outlook and a macrobiotic diet.

In a posting on her Website, MoonWashedRose.com, Love, writing under the name "court," responded to the series of bikini-clad photos of herself making the internet rounds, saying, "I'm pretty happy and really all I care about is that my self esteem is limitless and intact, and that nothing and no situation effects my self esteem in anyway, and creates negativity chaos or loss."

Or at least, that's what she would be saying, if she had any grasp of spell check.

In the posting, left Thursday morning, the 42-year-old rocker said that she had "lost 44 pounds with 6 more maybe 11 more to go."

And the benefit to her health isn't Love's only inspiration to drop pounds. With her ultra-svelte figure, the rocker is hoping to finally "fit in that dammed couture (the uh...real stuff)."

In a separate post, Love even claimed she would be holding a couture garage sale at her Hawaiian hotel to rid her closet of all her size eight clothes, "cos I ain't going back." She continues on, adding that one can't "be too rich or too thin, that is the truth man. Respect."

Love's new and improved torso isn't the only physical change she's made in the past few months. The rocker has also copped to having undergone a second rhinoplasty to fix the Barbie schnoz she claims she got her first time under the knife.

"Its my old nose and I love it because it just looks like my 'self' in 93," she wrote. "I hated that nosejobby nose, it was like a little beak...I just didn't like that old nosejob I went too far and I fixed it and made it natural again."

She also says she's glad to return to the natural look, "happy not to have crazy lips and a crazy teensy unnatural little nose."

The crazy teensy body, however, she'll keep.

Love's rep confirmed that the rehabbed mother of one had attained her new found physique through healthy means, adhering to a macrobiotic diet and attending yoga classes—yoga classes in which she's gotten chummy enough with her teacher, and her Website readers, to share a piece of gossip or two.

In a post left on Sunday morning in which Love waxed critically about the inherent problems with MySpace, it's safe to say she veered slightly off topic—and into the pages of the tabloids—after spilling an alleged secret.

"Ooooh, have to gossip, just found out my yoga teacher is f---ing Jude Law, she's very nice but how funny?" she wrote. "I dunno, she's got a hot bod."

She's not the only one.

For her part, Love said the flurry of media attention that has come with her toned down body has been entirely unexpected, though she's not above finding the humor in it.

"I'm actually caught a little off guard by the amount of paps on the beach at the pool, etc.," she wrote. "I guess this thin story has legs. Heh."
