Rocker Courtney Love

Rocker Courtney Love credits Buddhism with helping her overcome addiction and getting her life back on track.

 

The 'Malibu' singer has just released a new book, Dirty Blonde: The Diaries Of Courtney Love, which includes old photographs, scribbled song lyrics and even an email exchange with Lindsay Lohan regarding dealing with negative press coverage.

 

Love insists her hard-partying days are behind her and claims her conversion to Buddhism helped her remain sober.

 

"I'm a Buddhist now and I chant every day. I chant for a long time. Some people that chant, I'm just going to out them, Orlando Bloom chants, Tina Turner they do half an hour a day," she was quoted by Contactmusic, as saying.

 

"But I was doing four and five hours a day sometimes. With smoke breaks!" she added.
