The News of the World is calling BS on Courtney Love’s story that she lost close to 70 pounds the old fashioned way; exercise and diet. Courtney rambled on her blog earlier this year that she didn’t understand why everyone was hatin’ on her because she got thin. “I lost weight the hard way and people can’t accept it. Whenever ANYONE loses weight by determination and grit, it’s suspect. I got my inspiration from Oprah losing so much weight on Slim Fast, that’s how I did it.”

But The News of the World says that is NOT how she did it. “Courtney keeps laughing to her friends and saying, ‘Everyone thinks I’ve had hypnosis but why bother with all that effort? All I did was check myself in and have a fat band fitted’. The source also went on to reveal that several doctors refused to do the surgery for Courtney because she was never obese…but she eventually found an unethical surgeon who just wanted the money. I remember Courtney saying that she had her housekeeper put a big metal lock on her fridge so she wouldn’t be able to cheat on her new strict diet.

I sort of hope this turns out to be completely false and Courtney threatens to sue…I had a new found respect for the incredible self-discipline she had over her compulsive eating. I bought into her rants about how hard she was working and how she was being honest about being hungry all the time to stay thin. I liked hearing the ugly truth behind the Hollywood skinny but now it’s turns out none of it was true and she took the easy way out. Poser.
