The widow of Nirvana frontman, singer-actress Courtney Love won a release from home detention monitoring on Friday from a Los Angeles judge who praised her progress in recovering from drug addiction, according to published reports. "I've just been playing guitar and taking care of my daughter ... I want to [take this opportunity] to let the community know I'm doing great," the singer stated emphatically. The 41-year-old former singer for the band 'Hole' appeared before Superior Court Judge Rand Rubin for a routine progress hearing on three criminal. That landed her in a drug treatment facility this pat November. Love reportedly thanked the judge "for not being as punitive as you could have been" and told him, "I feel like I'm getting my creativity back...and that I've put a very gnarly drug problem behind me." Hopefully Courtney Love will keep her promise this time and set her life back on the right track after now officially finishing six months of house arrest and drug rehab. The judge ordered the Courtney to return to court on May 12 for another progress report and to continue twice-weekly random drug and alcohol testing and avoid places where alcohol is the main item for sale. Her probation has been extended to March 2007 and she must attend further counseling.-- Compiled from wire reports
