Love to direct Bay City Rollers film

With Melissa Auf Der Maur now officially out of Hole, Courtney Love is pushing ahead with a full slate of projects, including directing her first film, collaborating with risque rapper Lil' Kim and launching a "lifestyle portal" website.
 
 Love is planning to direct a film recounting the rise and fall of '70s teenybop icons the Bay City Rollers, according to Rolling Stone. Love first came into contact with writer Caroline Sullivan's book "Bye Bye Baby" when the London Observer asked the Hole singer to review the book. Now, Love's production company has optioned the rights to the story and hopes to film the Rollers' warts-and-all account of their glorious rise and seedy slide into obscurity.
 
 Love's work in front of the camera, meanwhile, will soon be seen in two biopics: the Andy Kaufman story "Man On The Moon" and "Beat," which tells the tale of writer William S. Burroughs and his wife Joan.
