Sometimes the people you least expect to pick you up when you're down can help you turn your life around.
After all she's been through, somehow
Courtney Love has managed to survive all the crapolla in her life and even credits Mel Gibson for saving her from sinking into a deep drug-polluted hole.
The rocker chic recently revealed her feelings about her past drug problems, the romantic relationships in her life - both good and bad - and her admirable breasts.
The controversial blonde says Mel Gel saved her from her drug addiction.
The former heroin addict - who was married to the late Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain - says she refused to seek professional help until the "Lethal Weapon" actor forced her to.
She told Britain's Sunday Times magazine, "I kept slamming the door in his face. There were two drug people with me who wouldn't leave so he couldn't get me to rehab. But because of Mel, the drugs people ran off to have a cheeseburger with him, because he's Mel, and then my drug minder Warren could get me into rehab."
The 48-year-old confessed she still regrets breaking off her romance with actor Edward Norton, whom she met while she was on tour with her band Hole.
She said, "I've either had the very good guys or the bad. I left Ed Norton, who was good and wonderful for an average bad man. It's upsetting."
The outrageous singer also admitted she can't stop herself from getting naked in public.
Courtney - who famously flashed her breasts on the David Letterman show - says her body looks too good to be covered up.
She said, "I'm in my prime, my body looks great. Nudity comes easy to me. I would drink before I go on TV and somehow my shirt would come off."
Courtney also posed as Virgin Mary for the cover of photographer's
David LaChapelle latest book
Heaven to Hell. LaChapelle's Heaven to Hell is the long-awaited third volume in an exhilarating trilogy that began with
LaChapelle Land (1996) and continued with the infamous
