Love to tell all

Courtney Love is planning to cover her mounting debts by telling her life story in a forthcoming book.

The troubled singer has had an eventful year, during which she has battled a heroin addiction, lost custody of her 12-year-old daughter Frances Bean, been arrested for allegedly attacking a fan and been found guilty of illegally possessing prescription drugs.

The widow of tragic Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain promises: "It's all going to come spewing out - every last dirty little secret. If it puts someone's nose out of joint that's tough luck."

Love is expected to receive a $540,000 (€404,290) advance, but the family of her late husband are concerned about her plans.

A source close to Cobain says: "It's painful to think that Kurt and Courtney's secrets will come out."
