Courtney Love denies lipo & gastric claims

Love, tells Usmagazine.com: "No doctor would do gastric bypass, even if I begged. No lipo, no gastric, no tummy tuck."

Love, who is in L.A. recording her new album, denies that anything but diet and exercise is responsible for her approximately 44-pound weight loss since December. She adds, "I can't believe how cynical people are."

Last week, gossips claimed that Courtney Love had a gastric band fitted.
The former Hole singer publicly credited her weight drop to a macrobiotic diet of vegetables and fish, and yoga.
However, Love -privately admitted to
friends her dramatic weight loss is down to surgery.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She's telling people she has had
gastric band surgery. She even said she has to sleep with a towel by her
because the surgery makes her throw up all the time and is worried she won't
be able to make out with anyone because of her breath."

Meanwhile, Courtney Love is set to play Anna Nicole Smith in a new biopic.
The 42-year-old singer - the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain - is
being considered to portray the tragic Playboy model who died on February 8
from an accidental drugs overdose.
A film insider is quoted by Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying:
"Courtney is flattered to be in the frame as she had a lot of respect for
Anna. Courtney feels she can relate to her tragedy.
"Owen Wilson is also being lined up to possibly play Anna Nicole's former
love Larry Birkhead."
Another biographical film entitled 'Anna Nicole' is set to start shooting
next week.
This project will see 26-year-old singer and 'Dancing with the Stars'
contestant Willa Ford playing the blonde bombshell.
There are striking similarities between Ford - who calls herself the "bad
girl of pop" and Anna Nicole. They both shot to fame modeling for fashion
label Guess? and were named Playboy's Playmate of the Year.
