Courtney Love sure enjoyed showing off her new figure in various self-tanner stained bikinis while on vacation in Hawaii recently. She must have sent engraved invitations to all the paparazzi to come document her weight loss. Her rep claimed that chain-smoking Courtney was on a macrobiotic diet and that she did yoga and ate lots of vegetables and fish. That might have been all she could have kept down, because word is that she had that gastric band surgery that isn’t as drastic as gastric bypass but still is mighty uncomfortable and helps you lose weight quickly.
Love insists her fabulous new figure is due to diet and exercise, but a friend said, “She’s telling people she got the gastric band surgery. She even said she had to sleep with a towel by her because the surgery makes her [vomit] all the time and is worried she won’t be able to make out with anyone because of her breath.” But a rep for Love, who says she’s dragged him to healthy macrobiotic restaurants, insists, “Not true. She says she never got surgery.” Either way, she looks great.
That’s just gross. She could have done it the way average people do and worked her butt off, but she took a shortcut. It doesn’t seem right that people who don’t need it get a gastric band as some kind of quick fix solution.
She’s such an attention whore though and wanted to surprise everyone with her storebought new body. She surely got some lipo too.
Thanks to FlynetOnline for these pics.
Hmm sounds like the band is too tight. Bloody irresponsible of the doctor to let her out if she can’t keep anything down.
there are only so many ways you can try to dress up shit before you realize it’s still shit!
There’s no way she got lap band surgery…. she has no scars.
I just got the surgery 3 weeks ago and I have 5 incision scars across my upper abdomen. They’re small compared to, say, a C-section scar, or a major surgery scar, but don’t let “laproscopic” fool you. The scars range in size from 1/2 inch to 3 1/2 inches and they stay very visible forever. Even if I lost enough weight to be a size 4 I would never be able to wear a bikini unless I wanted some very evident scars to show.
I know celebrities can get doctors to do just about anything but this surgery has guidelines and they’re rather strict. You have to have a certain BMI to qualify. Courtney Love never qualified for that, even when she was plumper.
in hollywierd, one can never be thin enough, beautiful enough, or rich enough.
Lap band surgery or not, she is still an attention whore and plastic from head to toe.
With all the surgery going on in California, can we really be amazed?
i did see one photo of courtney in a bikini which looked like she had a line or scar just above her waist.
there has to be a bijillion different techniques that plastic surgeons have devised to suck out the fat…even demi moore had her knees lipoed….they all tweak themselves a bit with surgery.
of course i dont know about this one..it could just be the ole standard of anorexia and laxatives. and maybe a touch of drugs, coffee and chain smoking.
I do think she did have some sort of surgical help with her renaissance. I wish that she would come out and debunk the celebrity thin myth just like she’s currently debunking exploitative record industry practices. I’m really sick of celebrities acting like their size is attainable for regular women. While I do know several naturally very thin women, most of us can’t achieve that look eating whatever we want as some celebrities claim (I’m lookin’ at you, Eva Longoria), or even with diet and exercise. I’d love for a celebrity to admit that she hasn’t eaten carbs in years and has her thighs lipo’d.
She would look much better in a moer flattering 1 peice suite. Not great but better.
I agree, MaiGirl. It’s pretty lame that they can’t just admit that they’re HUMAN. Geez! 🙂
Why is she flaunting her stomach. My stomach is much nicer than her’s and im still self consious. Look at the skin! you’d think if she did ANYTHING it’d be getting rid of excess skin! No one could blame her for that! she needs it!
That’s what I was thinking Diva, what doctor is going to do a lap band on someone who needs to lose 40 pounds?
Now she needs a tummy tuck!
I guess this makes me old but I remember when she had a band. So what does she do now?
the first bathingsuit that photogs got of courtney was in a navy blue one piece …she looks really good in that suit…the white bikini has to go.
dfd
Is there any chance that if she got bigger again and slimmed down naturally if she could salvage her stomach?
Stomach looks very much like she had Tara Reed’s ex-doctor suck out the fat. Lumpy, lumpy and adhesions everywhere.
she had kurt killed & is now living off his genius. her own musical success was due to kurt & billy corgen. w/o them her albums would have flopped. she’s not talented. she’s a social climber & she’s vile.
I don’t know the whole story, so I’m no expert, but I doubt that she had Kurt killed. What I’m thinkin’ tho, is maybe he killed himself because he couldn’t stand being around her anymore!(lol! but it’s not funny that he’s dead 🙁 )
Am I the only over 35-year old reader you have? Gain weight, lose it and the older you get the faster your body mocks aging. You can’t control your skin, folks.
That being said, I’m sure she’s got money for a tuck…why not spend it?!
Yes I think the loose skin is just recently-shrunk innards. But the lumpy adhesions are looking like lipo evidence to me.
