Courtney Love Admits To Using Heroin While Pregnant With Frances Bean Cobain

Almost 23 years after Courtney Love vehemently denied Vanity Fair writer Lynn Hirschberg's claims that she had used heroin during her pregnancy, the singer is coming clean. Love, 50, now admits to using heroin while pregnant with her daughter Frances Bean Cobain in the new HBO documentary "Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck." "I used it once then stopped. I knew she would be fine," Love told the film's director Brett Morgen in an on-camera interview. The fallout from Hirschberg's article was harsh: Love and Cobain temporarily lost custody of their daughter. Love struck back at the writer, releasing a bootleg CD entitled “Bring Me the Head of Lynn Hirschberg," and claimed Hirschberg was "obsessed" with her. The bad blood continued for some time; in 1995, Love reportedly grabbed Quentin Tarantino's Best Screenplay Oscar statuette for "Pulp Fiction" and threatened to attack Hirschberg with it. Reps for Love and Cobain first put out a

Victoria's Secret Is Putting on Another Show

Typically, it's only once a year when we position ourselves in front of the TV, watch Victoria's Secret models strut their stuff in bikinis, and immediately vow to start doing more ab exercises. But this year, the brand has decided to give us some extra, mid-Winter workout motivation by airing its first-ever swim show, The Victoria's Secret Swim Special, premiering Feb. 26 on CBS. Slightly different than the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the special will dive a little deeper into the models' lives and include personal interviews as well as a behind-the-scenes look at photo shoots. It'll also take place in Puerto Rico, so if you're currently wishing you were on vacation, you've got another reason to be jealous of ladies like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Alessandra Ambrosio, all of whom will make an appearance. And what's a special without musical guests? In addition to sexy swimwear, we'll be seeing some special performances by Maroon 5

Vegan Burger With Cashew Mayo

Truth be told, most of us crave a good burger from time to time. For some people, grass-fed locally sourced beef patties are a great healthy choice. Many people are restricted from eating meat altogether, some by choice, others by near force–often dictated by a poor state of health. Making healthful choices consistently often requires inspiration, creativity, and support. This is where the Sunlight Burger shines through, courtesy of The Present Moment Café from the “Sunshine State” itself, St. Augustine, FL.
