Courtney Love is the personification of drama. Her life in the spotlight has been peppered with drug addiction, suicide, bitter fights, money issues and more lawsuits than hot dinners, however the Hole front woman is a consummate performer on stage and especially in front of the media.

Just this year alone she made headlines for suggesting there may be a Kurt Cobain biopic in the works, 20 years after his death and weighed in on the MH 370 disappearance, claiming she knew where the plane was.
