Courtney Love accused of probation violation

Courtney Love has been ordered to appear in court Aug. 19 to face allegations that she violated the terms of her probation.

Love's latest legal troubles are due to a July 22 incident at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, at which Love allegedly had a "drug-related fainting spell," according to a Los Angeles Times report.

During a Wednesday (8/10) hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rand S. Rubin reportedly expressed unhappiness with the development, and asked Love's drug counselor for reports about her progress in court-ordered alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs.

Love was sentenced to three years probation in February after she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge. That charge related to a 2004 incident in which she allegedly threw a liquor bottle at a woman she found sleeping on the sofa at the home of a former boyfriend.

At a second hearing on Wednesday, a prosecutor asked that a judge revoke Love's probation in connection with a 2003 disorderly conduct and drug charge.
