Courtney: Coogan made me pregnant

ROCK chick Courtney Love says she is pregnant with Alan Partridge star Steve Coogan's baby.

Love, 41, abandoned her usual taste for rock stars when she hooked up with Coogan during a "two-week drug-fuelled sex fling" in LA.

The singer-turned-actress said: "Yes, I am pregnant with Steve's baby, but I'd rather not talk about our relationship."

Friends said the unlikely couple are not in contact and Coogan has not called her since her pregnancy test.

Love, who was yesterday ordered by a Los Angeles judge to undergo rehab after admitting using drugs while on probation, is already mum to 11-year-old Francis Bean by Nivarna legend Kurt Cobain.

Friends say she has not yet made up her mind whether to keep the baby.

Dad-of-one Coogan, 39, was divorced by his wife Caroline last month after he romped with lap-dancers.

Love described the comic as "a sex addict".

Friends say Love is worried that her street cred could be in tatters because the father is best known for his role as geeky chat show host Partridge.

She told a pal: "Given the grade of stars I've dated it's embarrassing. I mean... Alan Partridge?"
