Love pleads guilty

Rocker Courtney Love pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct yesterday for hitting a club-goer on the head with a microphone stand during a performance.

New York's Manhattan Criminal Court judge Melissa Jackson granted the former Hole frontwoman a conditional discharge, which means her case will be sealed after one year if she pays the victim $2,336 (€1,900) to cover medical expenses, joins a drug treatment programme and does not commit any other crimes.
