Courtney Love shows off her new (alleged) plastic surgery: is it better or worse?

fp_5759081_courtney_love_nyc_092010

I was sitting her trying to think of a good reason for Courtney Love’s appearance last night at the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps premiere. The only thing I could come up with is that she and Oliver Stone (who directed it) are friendly…? Otherwise, it just seems like an excuse for her to show off her new face. Excuse me, alleged new face. Because Courtney hasn’t confirmed anything, we’re left with Fame Pictures assumptions (and our own eyes):

Almost unrecognizable with a new hairdo and plastic surgery, the rarely red carpet ready, Courtney Love arrives late to the ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City, NY on September 20, 2010. With a league of celebrities far from her norm in attendance this evening, one would wonder what the punk icon’s motives are tonight?

Even though it’s eerie to see Courtney looking together and functioning (for her), I’m not sure if I approve of the alleged new work. Yes, she looks better than she has in a while, but the crackhead is still strong with this one, and she still looks like she’s on something very intense. Maybe heroin? Also… her boobs…? She’s had implants in and out of those puppies, and I think they’re back in. Either that or she’s got the mother of all push-up bras.

    terrible nose job. but that is nothing new…

  2. KJ says:

    Her lips look WAAAAAY better than they have. She’s had serious trout pout the last 5 years or so. Here her top lip doesn’t look like a stuffed sausage thankfully. And she’s had those implants for a while I think. A poorly done job, like most of her other surgeries and procedures. She looks almost clean in these pictures, like she took a shower.

    She looks way fucked up though. Like, drug wise.

  3. Novaraen says:

    I miss her old nose.

  4. Dorothy says:

    She looks bad! Her skin is different colors on her arm and he face is a totally different color from her neck! (bad makeup) You always know when she is skinny that she is on some serious shit!

  5. Kaye says:

    She looks like Shelley Long in the second picture.

    What ever happened to her . . .?

  6. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    I think she looks good, at least compared to what she has been looking like.

  7. Shayna says:

    Get a better bra! OMG it looks 2 cup sizes too small!!

  8. skibunny says:

    Other than the powder not matching her neck she looks very pretty.

  9. Stephie says:

    Maybe she just wanted to see a movie.

  10. annaloo says:

    I’m going to guess she’s had a mini face lift… the naso-labial folds are gone.. I had noticed this about a month ago… maybe some injection on the lower lip.

    Her face is definitely going in the direction of “not hers anymore” and normally I don’t support that, but for this one, I cannot say it’s a bad thing.

  11. audrey says:

    Kurt would’ve dumped her a long time ago.

  12. Bellatrix says:

    Madonnafied much?

  13. KellyBrynn says:

    in that last pic, her face is giving me a huge kim kardashian vibe. just me?

  14. Tess says:

    File under “Hot Mess.”

  15. koala says:

    what’s up with her removing those flower tattoos? it looks like she is, at least.

  16. lia says:

    She didn’t have a boob job. In April vh1 filmed her NY show for Behind the Music and she was wearing that bra (her boobs looked huge and out of her dress). The day after she was photographed and her chest was 2 or 3 sizes smaller. Blame Victoria Seacret and their push up bras.

  17. Eileen says:

    One of her songs just came on the radio station I listen to that plays 90’s rock and I was just thinking about how BAD of a singer she is and how no one would know her if she hadn’t been with Kurt. She is trashhhhhh-y.

  18. Sumodo1 says:

    Crooked nose, too many fillers. Decent eye job, tho.

  19. Jillian says:

    Nothing new. Push up bra for sure. If anything, her cheeks are not so jacked up with filler.

  20. original kate says:

    is this a serious question?

  21. Cam says:

    Bad makeup, apart from that she actually looks good or at least better than before.

  22. Praise St. Angie! says:

    I have a question for the men on here regarding the whole push-up bra thing.

    (and women who have heard any man’s opinion on it…)

    when you see a woman who looks like she’s got nice (large) boobies, and then you get her bra off and, in reality, she’s got some that are a cup or two sizes smaller than what she’s advertised, are you disappointed? angry? do you feel duped, and would it prevent you from wanting to date her because of any dishonesty?

    I’m honestly curious…

    on topic…I think she looks worlds better than I’ve seen her lately, but that’s not saying much.

    KJ, I noticed the lips, too. that seems to be the most significant change, surgery-wise. they’ve been looking AWFUL lately, like she had implants that went askew. Now, they look kind of normal.

    and truthfully, the biggest (non-surgery) difference I notice is that she looks clean and it appears she had her make up and hair done by a pro.

  23. debbie says:

    I think her eyes look pretty.

  24. bizzy says:

    gosh, priscella presley’s looking pretty good.

  25. mike says:

    Courtney attended the premiere because she’s been friends with Oliver Stone for 15 years and he invited her. Nobody wonders why Moby and Rob Thomas were there.

    It’s funny how everytime she wears semi decent make up and brushes her hair she’s accused of going under the knife. The trout lips were removed in December 2006 and the last nose job was in March 2007. She doesn’t need botox because she had a facelift 8 years ago.

  26. Observer says:

    I think she looks Amazing. She is a Transformer. You have to give this woman credit, or not. Most of you just want to hate, which this world needs less of.

  27. The Truth Fairy says:

    Waaaaaaaaay better !!!!

  28. annaloo says:

    @ Praise St. Angie–

    I think it depends upon the man.

    BUT, on the same turn & if I’m being honest about it, I might be a little disappointed if I found out HE was stuffing himself down there and I was getting a smaller package than expected…however, if he’s a great guy, there are always other solutions.

  29. Jeannified says:

    She looks good, but she’ll do something new to sabotage it and will forever be a mess!

  30. Kitten says:

    I think she looks better, which come to think of it, isn’t saying much…

  31. hellen says:

    No, this does not look like Courtney and I would not have recognized her. That said – she looks great in comparison to the way she’s been looking for years. Her plastic surgery is no worse (and much better) than many Hollywood stars’. And despite the sketchy make-up job and the squashed boobage, I think she looks wonderful. Her lips especially are much improved.

  32. SammyHammy says:

    Pretty much anything is an improvement with her, so I say it was a good move.

  33. Goober says:

    The nose job is a disaster.
    Styling wise, not bad at all.

    I hate the bra showing.

  34. Lenore says:

    Praise St Angie – I actually asked my husband this once. His reaction was basically what I imagine most men would say: “You’ve got your boobs out. We’re happy.”

    Bless. For all that women rip themselves up about their appearance, in real life, most men are just happy to have boobs in the room.

  35. gg says:

    She always looks good when somebody else does her damn makeup.

    What is still scary is the total lack of muscle tone, the anorexia, and the splotchy skin dye.

  36. Eileen says:

    @Lenore: LOL TOO TRUE! Your husband sounds like mine! I’ve gained like 20lbs in the last year and while I’m totally freaking out, he couldn’t be happier because a huge portion of it went to my boobs.

  37. mary jane says:

    At Praise St. Angie….I agree with Lenore. She’s right.

    My husband loves push-ups…couldn’t care less that its not all really there.

    Anything that accents what IS there and he’s very happy that I (or someone else!) made the effort.

  38. Liss Marconi says:

    All that plastic surgery can’t hide the fact she is a cold, cold killer

  39. Crash2GO2 says:

    I think she had her face lasered – look how light her facial skin is compared to her neck and the rest of her (scary looking) body. Plus a face and eye lift and she got her lips fixed.

  40. GatsbyGal says:

    She used to look like shit.

    Now she looks like shit packed into a sausage casing.

  41. juliana says:

    She needs to exfoliate to get rid of the rest of her spray-on tan.

  42. wunderkindt says:

    Her face looks good, but the rest of her body looks like some hard drugs are going in.

  43. jessica says:

    She reminds me so much of Madonna when she is “cleaned up”

  44. Keyanna says:

    She looks like she has been embalmed. She seriously looks like the walking dead.

    @Mike-Why the hell would she have had a face lift 8 years ago??? She could not have been sagging in her thirties???

  45. LondonLady says:

    she looks kinda like kylie minogue now. Sorry kyles..

  46. Mistral says:

    She’s looked jacked up like that for a long time.

  47. RHONYC says:

    all the stitchin-up in the world can’t make up for the bang up job she did with frances bean.

    why don’t you work on fixin’ the relationship with your daughter & only child, instead of that hopeless mug courtney?!

    boo. 🙁

  48. lovelylaura says:

    She looks like Jerry Hall’s little sister who’s been slumming it with Jon Gosselin.

    Other than that – she looks GREAT!

  49. Camille says:

    She looks good- for her.

  50. Maritza says:

    Other than the dent on her nose, one boob higher than the other and the pale powder she looks better than ever.

  51. TeeTee says:

    she’ll never run out of money huh??

    to do drastic shit to her face but continue to do drugs..all of her millions are spent on drugs and plastic surgery, sad.

  52. jc126 says:

    Looks better, but what does it matter? She’ll be back to looking like a junkie, and being a junkie if she isn’t one now, sooner or later.

  53. She had a nose job a very long time ago; then missed her old nose and had them re-do her nose to it’s original shape.

  54. bubbles says:

    see, a good mortician can work wonders. geeesh, Kurt’s money really went a long way.

  55. Siren6 says:

    She went one nose job too far.

  56. DiMi says:

    She looks like a great-looking 65 year old woman. Why does she look so old?

  57. birdgherl says:

    I think she looks amazing! She will look even better when it all settles down just a little bit. That figure is to die for.

  58. caroline says:

    I think she looks like Angelina Jolie now.

  59. Az says:

    I wish I knew what lipstick she is wearing; I love the color!

  60. latvian lady says:

    The over-powdered white face makes her look like a mime.

  61. Lady Jane says:

    Patchy tan. She is a mess. In so many ways. POOOOOOOOR poor Courtney. Blah.

  62. telesma says:

    Better makeup than usual, but whatever it is isn’t for flash photography. That’s why it looks lighter than her skin. IRL it probably looked fine, but it reflected the camera flash. It happens all the time, only a few makeup lines have products that won’t reflect like that.

  63. Steph says:

    WOW!! She looks amazing! (That’s a push up bra for sure). But damn, her Doctor did amazing work on. Her face looks so smooth and amazing, and her dress is also beautiful. Her make up artist needs to match the color of her face to her neck, but other than that, WOW!!

    Just look at pictures of her from a few years ago. SIGNIFICANT improvement.

  64. Kiska says:

    For someone that smokes and abuses drugs like Ms. Love, she looks amazing. Those plastic surgeons are magicians.

  65. ida crombine says:

    she looks stunning.just beautiful.

  66. Cookie says:

    Wow! She looks 28 again. Whoever did her face did one heck of a fabulous job. She never looked better. Just hopes she doesn’t ruin that beautiful look by continuing to do the do. I’d want that doctor if I wanted a lift. Awesome! Best wishes, Courtney. Cookie in Mt. Vernon, VA.

  67. I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!
