WORKOUT FOR COURTNEY
(The West Australian)

Hard-bitten rocker Courtney Love says she's totally free of booze and drugs and totally into - are you ready?- working out.

"I didn't think I would dig my trainer, but I absolutely, totally do," Love says in the February issue of Premiere magazine. "I got this guy - he's been doing Demi Moore for years - he's really spiritual."

The 32-year-old lead singer of Hole, infamous for years of hard living, says she hasn't had even one drink in seven months.

"It was not that hard to cut out," she insists, although in the past, "I drank before I played - a lot. I really went into this cliche!"

But don't get the idea that Kurt Cobain's widow is totally down to earth. She twice skipped scheduled photo shoots with Premiere while promoting her new film The People Vs Larry Flynt.

What happened? "I don't mean to be a diva," she explained, "but some days you wake up and you're Barbra Streisand."
