Courtney Love desperately needs an alarm system attached to everything she owns — people won’t stop robbing her! At least that’s the impression we get from the Hole singer, who seems to hand out larceny accusations like Santa Claus hands out presents. Earlier this month, Love claimed her ex-boyfriend Edward Norton stole $300,000 from her and her daughter, Frances Bean. Then last week, she issued the most confusing apology ever: “I have the greatest respect for Edward. He could be the President of the United States. I could be his drug czar.†One mea culpa down, only 4,238 to go! Below, a brief history of the accused:
