Home for the holidays: Courtney Love was sprung from rehab last Friday by a Los Angeles Judge who says he is pleased with her progress. The Hole singer will be allowed to serve the remainder of her 180-day sentence in a less strict outpatient program.

"She is moving forward and taking the process very seriously. She hopes this is the beginning of the next chapter in her life," the report quoted Courtney's attorney Howard Weitzman, as telling Los Angeles' City News Service.
The judge extended her probation to March 2007. In the meantime, Courtney will at home with her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, and will only be allowed to leave her home for "limited, court-approved reasons" such as seeing her probation officer or necessary visits to her doctor. She'll also have to honor a 10 p.m. curfew and must avoid bars or nightclubs for the duration of her sentence and continue therapy.
