Courtney Love owes American Express $352,000
Think your credit card bills are out of hand? According to TMZ, Courtney Love is being sued by American Express because she owes them $352,659.67. That's a lot of trips to the tanning salon.
Love apparently rang up charges on three different cards: $279,079.68 on a Centurion Card, $69,245.56 on a Gold Card and a mere $3,734.43 on a Platinum Card. The company says she's refused to pay the balances and has filed suit in L.A. Federal Court for the cash, plus other costs.
Last we heard, Love was embroiled in fighting an alleged scheme by the caretakers of Kurt Cobain's estate to bilk the widow and her daughter, Francis Bean, out of all of Kurt's money, so maybe those charges are all for legal fees.

Doesn't she receive all the royalties
from the husband that she didn't murder? Cobains royalties exceeded Elvis's a few years back in excess of over 40 million in just one year!!

I'll help her out with the platinum, but it's going to cost her.
