Is this crazy or what?? So Phil Lesh is Courtney Love's godfather, and the Godfather is her grandfather! What the fuck! Here's the
link I saw on IMDB, but I don't know how long it will be active.
"Veteran actor Marlon Brando has been revealed as the unexpected grandfather of wild rocker Courtney Love in a new book. The singer's mother, psychologist Linda Carroll, claims she has taken DNA tests to confirm she is the Godfather star's daughter. Love, former wife of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, says, "I am incredibly shocked by this news. I have heard Mr. Brando has more than 30 children so I can't imagine how many cousins I have." The link is Linda's mother, novelist Paula Fox. She met Brando in the 1940's through famed drama teacher Stella Adler, and the two enjoyed a brief liaison. However, it is not known whether 79-year-old recluse Brando knows that Linda - who was given up for adoption - was the result of this. Brando has 11 acknowledged children, although is thought to have many more. Carroll's book in which she makes the revelation, is as yet unreleased."

Courtney Love sets the record straight about an assault rap misunderstanding Friday in SoHo.
Courtney Love admits she's got a few problems - but getting slapped in the face by an amorous Virgin Records executive is not one of them.
A day after police reported that Love had accused Senior Vice President Josh Deutsch of coming on to her and hitting her when she objected, the rock diva told the Daily News yesterday it was all a big mixup.
"Josh is a good guy who I like immensely who would never hit another person in his life," said Love, who recently signed a $10 million deal with Virgin.
So how did Deutsch, who was out of town, wind up getting named in a police report filed by Love?
It's a twisted story that starts with Thursday's blackout.
When the power got zapped, Love, whose outrageous antics and outbursts are legendary, was stuck at her Crosby St. co-op in SoHo, where Nicole Kidman, Lenny Kravitz and other celebrities also live.
"I was hot. I was scared. I was terrified. I was the only person left in the building. Kidman left. The concierge left," she said.
"I thought Virgin would send a car for me."
But the company didn't send a limo for Love, the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, and she couldn't call one herself because her credit cards weren't working.
"What really blew my cookies was calling MasterCard and finding out my card was at its $15,000 limit because someone had gone into Chanel and spent it all - and it wasn't me or my nanny," she fumed.
"Why do I have a $15,000 limit anyway? I spend millions with them.
"My daughter and nanny had to borrow money from the maid so they could buy food because they couldn't use the cards," she continued.
Love's daughter with Cobain, Frances Bean, turns 11 tomorrow.
On Friday afternoon, the singer-actress called the cops to make a complaint about the credit charges. Police arrived to find her in a state.
"I had been throwing s--- around my apartment," she said. "I was on the phone, screaming into Josh Deutsch's voice mail."
Something's 'freaky'
When the cops asked her who she was yelling at, she gave them Deutsch's name - followed by a barrage of complaints about her recently fired manager, Dave Lory.
"I told the cops I had been assaulted on every level by Dave Lory. I said I feel like I've been raped, sodomized and thrown out the window by this guy," she said.
She claimed Lory had spread rumors that she smokes crack. "Hey, you know I've done a lot of things - but that ain't one of them," she said.
She also told the cops Lory had "gotten weird and inappropriate and freaky" with her. And she said she got into a "physical altercation" with one of his underlings.
Somehow, she said, Lory and his flunky's alleged misdeeds got attributed to Deutsch in the police report and then wound up in yesterday's Daily News.
Deutsch did not return a call for comment yesterday. Lory could not be reached, and Love did not have his assistant's last name because she knows him only as Evil Peter.
Love eventually did get out of her apartment. She called another record company that had been bidding against Virgin "and they sent me a limousine within 20 minutes."
