The Return of Smokin' Courtney Love

Courtney Love has been in the studio working on her upcoming album with the working title How Dirty Girls Get Clean. Linda Perry and Billy Corgan, who both have recorded with her in the past, are helping with the writing and recording. The album is supposed to come out sometime next year.

"This record is lovely – but very real," says Courtney. "We allowed some natural flaws to remain. We use my voice, as it is, which is rich and deep and honed by a lot of smoking."

Also Channel 4 has recently aired a documentary on Courtney titled (what else?) The Return of Courtney Love in the UK. Here she's shown reharsing and recording the album, as well as being interviewed on a wide variety of topics. So far it hasn't been shown on TV here in America, but you can see a clip of this thanks to the goodness of YouTube.
