Courtney Love has had gastric bypass surgery to lose weight, and is rather amused that we all bought her story that the loss came from half starving herself and detoxing.

The former Hole singer, 44, once wrote on her blog that she was inspired to lose weight by Oprah Winfrey who got thin by drinking slimming drinks.

But a source told the the News of the World: ‘Courtney keeps laughing to her friends and saying, ‘Everyone thinks I’ve had hypnosis but why bother with all that effort? All I did was check myself in and have a fat band fitted’.

‘Courtney has always had problems with her appearance and is convinced she is ugly and fat. Two years ago she had a gastric band fitted at a surgery in Beverly Hills.

‘Lots of doctors refused to do it as she was nowhere near obese, just a little overweight, but eventually she found one.

‘And as soon as she had the operation the excess weight started to drop off her. Now she is just skin and bones and looks terrible.’

Well, I figured as much. You don’t get that hot without the aid of a doctor’s steady hand. Or at least the steady hand of an evil scientist with a sack of exhumed corpses and a carpet needle. Diet and exercise can go fuck themselves!

Courtney Love was in crazy full-effect in Malibu, and even caught a ride in a shopping cart. Her fella pushed her along as she grabbed at her paw, cigarette in hand. I’m not really sure what Courtney was doing in Malibu over the weekend, but I guess she decided to take her crazy-lady-in-ballet-slippers title back from Amy Winehouse, or she was trying to scare the crap out of the old, rich white people. “Ahhh, a homeless person, ruuuuun!!!”

Halloween may be months off, but Courtney Love did a good job of frightening onlookers with her ghoulish appearance in LA yesterday. Have you ever seen the movie “Maxie”? Courtney Love looked like “Maxie”, but skinnier and more dead. So take a little bit of “Maxie” and throw in a little “Death Becomes Her,” and you have Courtney’s summer look.

Very hot.
