Courtney Love Makes Debut Appearance On 'Empire'
. (Radio.com) It was a match made in heaven. Empire, the hottest new television series in 23 years needed the perfect guest-star diva, and they found her in walking all-caps headline: Courtney Love. The music industry-based drama guided by Academy Award-nominated director Lee Daniels (Precious, The Butler) turned up the already Dynasty-level drama to another level with the introduction of Love's character, the drug-addled former rock superstar, Elle Dallas. Love makes an immediate impact with her very first scene, where she arrives for a business meeting with label head Lucious Lyon (Terence Howard) and his ex-wife Cookie (played by the show's breakout star, Taraji P. Henson) draped in fur and with a full entourage in tow. "I kind of took the diva-ness of Mariah [Carey], who I know socially and really like, but she's always with four people," Love told TV Guide about her character. "She's got a bodyguard and stuff like that, which I don't need. Mariah is her own universe and I adore her, but she's hilarious. Some of Whitney [Houston] and the tragedy of Whitney. A little [Amy] Winehouse I think. We're following a little of that story. So I mixed it up. A little Stevie [Nicks]. � I always steal from Stevie anyway."
