Courtney Love home damaged by small fire

A New York City townhouse owned by rocker Courtney Love was damaged in a small fire.

The blaze reportedly erupted in Love's fourth floor bedroom in the late hours of Thursday evening, a Fire Department rep told The New York Times.

Love discovered the fire and alerted authorities, before attempting to quell the flames herself. As a result, she suffered minor burns on one of her hands.

Firefighters arrived soon after receiving a distress call, but by that time the flames had largely been extinguished.

The Hole singer's townhome suffered only minor ruin, with curtains and bed dressing sustaining burns.

While the incident is currently under investigation, authorities believe that the fire was sparked after one of Love's curtains came in contact with a lit candle.

An unnamed male associate of Love's was in the home at the time, but was apparently unharmed.

Love's band Hole released their fourth major label LP Nobody's Daughter in 2010. The album reached the top 20 on the US charts.

Courtney Love blasted by daughter

Frances Bean Cobain has reportedly branded her mother a "prepubescent feral cat".

The daughter of US singer Courtney Love and her late husband - Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain - received an angry rant via twitter from her mother on the day of her 18th birthday, last Wednesday (18.08.10) when she legally inherited part of her father's estate.

The twitter account the post was made from has since been deleted, but Perezhilton.com claims it was genuinely Frances writing, as she had previously posted pictures of her tattoos and wrote about Lady Gaga.

Singer Courtney Love's desperation to get high made her rely on prostitutes to help her find drugs when she was staying in unfamiliar places.

"I had this rock and roll trick that I would do. When I'd be in the worst (place)... like Cleveland (Ohio) or Cologne, Germany... I would call up a hooker agency and I would ask for the ugliest hooker, because the ugliest hooker would know (where to get drugs).

"They would think I was a lesbian and would come with all sorts of things (sex toys) and I'd be like, 'No, no put it down, I just want to know where the drugs are.' So that was my trick", contactmusic.com quoted her saying.
