ARE YOU DOWN WITH LOVE? COURTNEY LOVE, that is? Since her old band, Hole, split up last year, the singer/actress/extrovert is looking for a few good women to help her form a new one. To this end, Love has placed ads in newspapers in New York City and Los Angeles inviting all and sundry to take their best shot. Her requirements are simple: "Must play BASS or GUITAR (Really Play) and look like a Goddess." Oh, and "NO BOYS." (It's getting so you can almost smell a reality show about to happen, isn't it?) The band will tour in support of Love's new solo album, America's Sweetheart, which is due out this fall. Love shows a certain savviness in drawing on the pool of musicians who aren't personally acquainted with her, since she has been known to get in fights backstage and bare her breasts onstage. If that's not a problem for you, send a videotape to P.O. Box C238, New York, N.Y. 10011.
