Love plans racy tell-all autobiography

Courtney Love is planning to cover her mounting debts by telling her life story in a forthcoming book.

The troubled singer has had an eventful year, during which she battled a heroin addiction, lost custody of her 12-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, was arrested for allegedly attacking a fan and found guilty of illegally possessing prescription drugs.

The widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain promises: "It's all going to come spewing out - every last dirty little secret." Love is expected to receive a US$540,000 ($760,000) advance.
