Courtney Love has become Lindsay Lohan`s sobriety coach
The Hole singer - widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain - has battled drink and drug addiction in the past and wants to pass her knowledge and advice to the troubled `Mean Girls` actress, who has been in rehab five times.
She said: "I`ve taken up Lohan because nobody else will. [She`s] further down the line than I was, because there was no [gossip websites like] TMZ then."
This is not the first time Courtney,47, has revealed she is helping 25-year-old Lindsay - who is currently completing her court ordered community service - stay away from drink and drugs.
She recalled to Details magazine: "I went up to Lindsay`s room one time and there was a show on called `101 Celebrity Oops` and I am like every other one, you know - boobs out, legs everywhere, throwing s**t at Madonna, you know, whatever. I`m like `Lindsay, look! Drugs are bad!` "
Courtney has had help from her celebrity pals in the past to help beat her addictions, in particular, Orlando Bloom.
Speaking in 2008, she revealed: "We chant every day. The 12-step programme demands that you have a spiritual practice that you do daily.
"I love Orlando for this. He doesn`t mind being outed as a Buddhist. I don`t mind talking about it because it has changed my entire life, changed everything - restructured my body, restructured my physicality. Truly I can, not all the time, but I can take joy at really s****y situations."
