Courtney Love made progress in her rehab sentence, and
she's now admitted to an outpatient program instead of
being trapped at a residential treatment facility. Love,
who violated her probation in June, was sent back for a
six-month sentence in September. She's allowed to be at
home, but can only leave for court-approved reasons. Courtney
told The UK's Guardian that she's spent some of her downtime
working on music she dubbed "The Rehab Demos," with
tracks like "The Depths Of My Despair," and "How
Dirty Girls Get Clean." A hopefully still-clean
Courtney returns to court in January ... Queens Of
The Stone Age singer Josh Homme has snagged Foo Fighters
drummer Taylor Hawkins and singer Peaches for his next
Desert Sessions project. Homme recently worked with Peaches
on a track for her next album ... Despite years of
retirement rumors, The Cure continue to churn out new music.
Robert Smith and crew return to the studio in January for
a summer 2006 release. Smith is also assembling a concert
DVD and compiling music for the next batch of Cure re-issues
due next spring ... Twisted Sister recently performed
in Brighton, England, and front man Dee Snider gave a shout-out
to the crowd. "The balcony is where all the real sick
motherf**kers are. They can't even stand up by show time.
Let's have the house lights up to see them!" he exclaimed.
The lights went up, and the band and audience found themselves
looking back at the disabled section of the crowd -- full
of fans in wheelchairs! Oops. ... Congrats to Christina
Aguilera and her new hubby, record exec Jordan Bratman,
and there's wedding buzz brewing about Diana Ross, who's
reportedly dating actor -- and Angelina Jolie's estranged
dad -- Jon Voight ... When Madonna performed on
German TV show Wetten, dass..?, she refused to use their
toilets. Producers had to use a crane to hoist in Madge's
own personal 18-square-foot luxury loo, complete with two
washbasins, halogen lighting, two showers, and a separate
toilet room. The price tag? About $5,000. FYI -- Green
Day and Shakira were also on the show but they used the
normal crappers ... And finally, let it be known that
size matters to Enrique Iglesias. The Spanish singer enjoys
a high profile relationship with tennis beauty Anna Kournikova
and is lusted after by fans around the world. But this
statement might throw a few off his scent: "The next
product I'm going to put my name on is extra-small condoms.
I can never find extra-small condoms and I know it's really
embarrassing for people." Our condolences, E-man.
