Hole hitmaker Courtney Love has confessed that she is 'extremely narcissistic' and once had a wake-up call when Vogue used Photoshop to slim her figure down for a photoshoot. 

During an interview with Style.com, the rocker explained that she can be quite vain about her appearance and after realising 'fat had been Photoshopped away' she knew she had to do something about the way she looked:

"I don't have body [dysmorphia] at all. I'm actually a narcissist about my body to an extreme degree. When I was hitting 192 pounds, I was posing for Italian Vogue. They Photoshopped the fat away. I didn't even realise how fat I was."

"Once I got on the scale, I was like, 'Oh, my God, this calls for emergency measures. Where's the Atkins?' It works completely. You can do it maybe five times in your life, but that's about it. That's all your kidneys can take. It absolutely works, but it just makes you stinky and gross and vile. You can't have sex. Your breath stinks."
