Troubled singer Courtney Love opened up her lavish closet to fashion blog StyleList.com for their "Behind The Closet" segment, but despite the fact that her wardrobe was filled with priceless vintage pieces, Love was constantly sucking on a cancer stick, filling her walk-in with nasty cigarette smoke.
Not the best way to preserve vintage clothing, Court!
Love donned a sheer top that clearly showed off her bra for the segment, and revealed that most of the antique clothing she's collected was the result of her job in the wardrobe department at Paramount Pictures, in 1983.
The Hole singer revealed that her job was to take the used vintage items and throw them out, but she would take them home instead -- smart girl!
And when Love was asked if she kept anything from late husband Kurt Cobain's closet, she replied: "I don’t have it here, I store it. People steal it. If I tell that something was Kurt’s it’s gone."
Court also gushed over her fave designer: "I am really big on (Vivienne) Westwood, even though my boobs have popped out twice now."
Meanwhile the singer recently responded to reports that she's being kicked out of her $27,000-a-month rented NYC brown stone, after wrecking the decor and -- surprise, surprise! -- by causing a fire inside the $8 million designer home. She's been served was an evection notice after causing more than $100,000 worth of damage, and she also owes $55,000 in unpaid rent.
Court said she caused the "damage" because she was upset she couldn't make any alterations to the decor.

Is she or isn't she?
Rihanna teases us in a flesh-colored body suite that gives her a totally nude appearance, in the just-released video for her new hit single, "You Da One."
The sensual b&w video also features the Grammy winner in several sexy outfits and wigs, including a very revealing fishnet ensemble, and an iconic outfit that emulates Stanley Kubrick's cult classic, A Clockwork Orange.
The 23-year-old stunner filmed the video while she was in England for her concerts at the O2 Arena in London last month, and she said of the new single: "To me, it's very infectious: The more you listen to it, the more you want to listen to it. It had a reggae vibe, but it's a sweet little love letter. I love the record. It's kind of dirty, I love it."

Melanie Amaro of Sunrise Florida was crowned the very first winner of X Factor US, beating out 30-year-old singer Josh Krajcik of Wooster, Ohio.
The 19-year-old couldn't hold back tears as her name was announced -- she also landed a $5 million recording contract and a starring role in a Pepsi commercial!
Amaro was too choked up to give a thank you speech after her win, so Simon Cowell spoke for her, saying: "I want to say, America, thank you for giving this girl an opportunity."
The new winner then struggled through tears to cover Beyonce's hit, "Listen," and thanked fans for their support, gushing: "Thank you so much! OMG, I don't know what even to say... God is good... Thank you America!"
But while Amaro cried tears of joy on stage, there was some major drama behind the scenes! Two crew members sustained head injuries, and another was hit in the elbow, as a stair riser came unhinged just before rapper 50 Cent took the stage.
Paramedics rushed to the scene within minutes, and all three were taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to receive treatment for their injuries.
Upon leaving the studio for the hospital, one of the injured crew members expressed: "I'm fine! ... on the f--king last night of the show!"

Owen Wilson split from girlfriend and mother of his baby Jade Duell in June, and already, the Zoolander actor is playing the field ... and doing quite well with the ladies in St. Barths.
The 42-year-old actor, who dated Kate Hudson in the past, was reportedly bar hopping for eight hours before ending up at the Yacht Club. Earlier in the day, Wilson showed off his bare chest while frolicking in the ocean.
Great to see Owen smiling these days. Back in 2007, the actor was hospitalized after reportedly taking pills and slashing his wrists. Looks like he's come a long way.

We love this family's rockin' style!
Gwen and Gavin took a break from the holiday shopping to treat their boys, Kingston, 5, and Zuma, 3, to a movie at the ArcLight theater in Sherman Oaks on Thursday night -- with nanny in tow.
While it's been mostly sunny and warm in LA, fashion-forward Kingston dressed for the season in a faux fur hat and down jacket, while little bro Zuma donned a teddy bear hoodie and Monster Uggs -- fellow fashionista Suri Cruise wore a similar pair last weekend.
The No Doubt singer recently launched Harajuku Mini for Target, and the designer admits she drew inspiration from her two stylish sons, who also modeled for the kid's line. When it comes to the Stefani-Rossdale family, fashion's in the genes!
