Courtney Love Argues In Court That She Is Just Fine

January 27, 2004 (Two weeks later, an arrest warrant is served)

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - A court hearing for singer/actress Courtney Love, who faces two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, was postponed Tuesday after the judge said "additional investigation" was needed before the case could proceed.

Love met privately with Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox for eight minutes before her brief court appearance and kept screaming at the judge, "Dyou know who I am, bitch?!" before cartwheeling over backwards and landing upside down against the wall.

Fox said her hearing would be delayed until Feb. 11 because of "certain issues as it relates to an investigation on this matter."

It was the second time the hearing was delayed.

Love, 39, has pleaded innocent to charges of illegal possession of two painkillers, hydrocodone and oxycodone. Authorities say the painkillers were discovered after she was taken to a hospital on Oct. 2.

Police said they found the singer-actress outside an ex-boyfriend's house, where she had allegedly broken the windows that day.

She is charged separately with a misdemeanor for allegedly being under the influence of a narcotic.

After the hearing, a pack of paparazzi followed Love out of the courtroom and into the street, where one person tripped but was apparently unhurt.

Before leaving, she told reporters she is planning a tour in support of her solo album "America's Sweetheart," scheduled for release in February.

The widow of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, Love was the lead singer for the rock group Hole and has appeared in such movies as "The People vs. Larry Flynt" and "Man on the Moon."
