Odds & Ends: Springsteen, Courtney Love, Amy Winehouse & The Troggs

“I was doing drugs from the moment I woke up till the time I went to bed,” Love said. “I was out of it most of the time. I was naïve. I was stupid. I did what I was told to do. And by the time I figured out what was going on, I didn’t have a dime to my name.”

In a sworn statement, Francis Bean detailed what happened when Courtney visited the home of ex-boyfriend James Barber.

“She took me in a taxi to his house in the middle of the night, and from outside the house, in her bare feet, she screamed at him, threw rocks at the house, and threatened to burn his house down,” Francis Bean said. “His children were inside the house, but that did not stop my mother.”

Francis Bean goes on to talk about her mother’s drug history, saying her mother “basically exists” on “Xanazx, Adderall, Sonata, Abillify, sugar and cigarettes.”

But what’s really getting Internet traction are the remarks Francis Bean made in the deposition about Courtney and her daughter’s pets. Francis Bean claimed that a cat died after “getting entangled in piles of Etsy fabrics, boxes of paperwork, trash and other possessions,” reports TheFix. Francis Bean also said a dog died after eating Love’s pills.

Evidently the court was concerned about Courtney’s past pet history. In addition to keeping her away from daughter Francis Bean as well as Bean’s grandmother and aunt, the restraining order also kept Courtney away from Francis Bean’s dog, Fester.

Winehouse Coroner Not Qualified

There are rumblings out of Britain that the inquest into Amy Winehouse’ death may have been illegal because the coroner was unqualified

Coroner Suzanne Greenaway was in charge when an inquest determined that Winehouse had died from alcohol poisoning.

But Greenaway quit her job one month later after word got out that she wasn’t qualified for the position of coroner.
