COURTNEY LOVE appeared in court on Friday to answer charges that she violated her probation for offenses committed in 2003 and 2004 by being under the influence of controlled substances. Once the singer admitted to committing the violation -- at an event last month for LIZ PHAIR at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel -- the judge sentenced her to "long-term" drug treatment at a chemical dependency center.
