No Love lost in one Elle of an outburst
Last updated at 12:53pm on 10.02.09Inviting Courtney Love to the awards was always going to cause fireworks - and she didn't disappoint.
In a mood: Courtney Love at the Elle awards
Naturally, the rocker was erratic and pretty incoherent as she barged her way through the show, leaving everyone with their hearts in their mouths every time she came near them.
Back off mister: Courtney and an overzealous security man
So it was hardly surprising to see her take a hissy fit backstage, after accepting her gong for Woman Of The Year, when she realised the assembled media had left - because she had taken so long doing her hair and make-up. She turned to one of her aide's and said: "You have f***ed up. I'm going home, no one is here." Thankfully, after a few reassuring words, she stayed on for the afterparty. Later in the evening, a security guard tried to stop snappers from approaching Courtney. But his efforts merely upset Ms Love, and he was soon bundled out of the way by her own burly bodyguard.
