COURTNEY LOVE - COURTNEY LOVE FAILS DRUG TEST

Troubled rocker COURTNEY LOVE's life has hit more turbulence, with Los Angeles authorities declaring she has failed a drug test and violated her probation.

Los Angeles Superior Court judge RAND RUBIN issued a bench warrant for the former HOLE frontwoman yesterday (10AUG05), ordering her to return to court on 19 August (05) for a review of her rehab reports.

The judge then told her attorney, "(Do) something to solve Love's problem, or we're going to give her a year (in prison)."

Love - who recently announced that she's "clean and sober" - could also potentially lose custody of FRANCES BEAN COBAIN, her 12-year-old daughter with late husband KURT COBAIN.

Deputy district attorney GINA SATRIANO says 41-year-old Love failed a drug test when she was hospitalised in July (05) after fainting during a party at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel.

At the time, Love's attorney, MICHAEL ROSENSTEIN, announced that Love was "living a drug-free life".

In February (05), Love was sentenced to three years' probation and anger management counselling after pleading no contest to misdemeanour assault on a woman at the home of her former boyfriend.
