American Express is suing singer Courtney Love for allegedly not paying $350,000 on her credit cards. You could buy a house with what she apparently owes. 
AmEx [AXP

] suspended her accounts when she refused to pay. So... you wait until a rock star with past drug and money problems rings up $350k and THEN suspend her account? TMZ has weighed in with a "letter" from AmEx to the President asking for a bailout, claiming "Courtney Love Endangers Economic Recovery":
URGENT MESSAGE:
FROM: American Express
TO: President Barack Obama
SUBJECT: Bailout money
Mr. President:
We are humbled to ask for immediate financial help. Courtney Love is driving us the way of Chrysler and G.M. She has three American Express credit cards and will not pay the balance on any of them.
Centurion Card Account: Ms. Love owes $279,079.68
Gold Card Account: Ms. Love owes $69,245.56
Platinum Card Account: Ms. Deadbeat owes $3,734.43.
We have been forced to file a lawsuit yesterday in L.A. Federal Court, asking for $352,659.67, plus a bunch of costs. We don't think she'll pay up, so dude, we need your help.
Sincerely,
AmEx
Update: Courtney Love's lawyer has sent TMZ a letter claiming the lawsuit is "bogus": "AmEx knows the claim has no merit. We have told them this for a long time. AmEx's law policies allowed fraudulent transactions to be charged to my client's card."
