Courtney Love: 'Lady GaGa is a sexless Barbie doll'

Courtney Love has reportedly claimed that Lady GaGa has been turned into a "weird, sexless Barbie doll" by her "gay stylists".

The Hole frontwoman told addiction and recovery magazine The Fix that she was concerned about GaGa.

Love said: "She may be doing fine at the moment, but I'm worried about her future. She's very young, and she's very talented, but she doesn't seem to have any female friends. Or any straight guy friends for that matter.

"Instead, she surrounds herself with this coterie of gay stylists and advisers who've turned her into this weird, sexless Barbie doll.

"I was raised by gay guys myself, and I turned out all right in the end. But you know, you can only pull off this meat-dress act for so long. If she doesn't watch out she'll turn into a lonely drag queen. Straight guys just aren't into that kind of thing."

Love claimed that she has not taken heroin since 1996, apart from one time in July 2005 when she tried to overdose on the drug in a suicide attempt.

"It hasn't been easy," she said of her life. "I can be eccentric, egotistic and temperamental. I can be a real bitch.

"But I also know that I'm a really good artist. So do you really expect me to be well-adjusted all the time? Look at all these little stars - Britney and Lindsay and all the others. Being famous is a dangerous profession these days."
