Rocker Courtney Love claimed her new slim-line body was down to a strict diet regime and hypnosis but sources have come forward claiming that's a big FAT lie! Here she is (right) before her 'diet'.

In fact, it's claimed Courtney did a Fern Britton and went in for a gastric band operation!

What's the point of telling fibs, she may as well just admit that her weight-loss was aided by a surgeon don't you think?
