8. Courtney Love
With a history of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Courtney Love certainly lives up to her reputation as rock star to the stars. Dabbling in all genres, Love has experience in acting, art, producing, and music, fronting the popular punk band, Hole. As well as music, Love is also highly publicized for her turbulent relationship with Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain, ending in 1994 with Cobain’s supposed suicide.
Struggling with addiction throughout her life, Love confessed to trying cocaine at 19, going on to become a hardcore heroin user not long after. Thrust into the spotlight when Vanity Fair published an article in 1992, reporting that Love was still addicted to heroin during her pregnancy, Love received a number of unsavory comments, and the temporary removal of her daughter.
After a number of pictures taken by the media, displaying her obvious addiction, Love was sentenced to six months in rehab in 2006. Claiming to have been sober since 2007, Love has seemingly overcome her addiction, with no known use of drugs or alcohol.
