Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow was “devastated” when she first met her rock idol Courtney Love – because the singer was “really horrible” to her. The unlikely pair is now firm friends, but, during their first encounter on the set of Paltrow’s 1999 movie Shakespeare In Love, the actress was shocked by the former Hole frontwoman’s rude behaviour towards her.

She tells Elle magazine, “We were in an elevator and she was really horrible to me. And I was the biggest Hole fan of all time. I was devastated. Then she went on a drugs spiral.”

However, Love subsequently apologized for her harsh words, and the touching moment led to a close friendship between the two.
Paltrow adds, “When she got sober, she contacted me and was like, ‘I feel like I missed an opportunity with you.’ Then we just started texting and talking and now when she’s here (in the U.K.) she comes round. When we’re in L.A. we have dinner.”

Courtney Love has claimed her meltdown after the suicide of husband Kurt Cobain laid a path for the crumbling of Britney Spears years later.

The rock widow also confirmed that she took drugs during her pregnancy with the Nirvana singer’s daughter Frances Bean, now 16.

She told Elle magazine: ‘I had a long, hard fall. I set the stage for Britney to crash and burn. I went through it all first.’

The 44-year-old also set the record straight about rumours she used a gastric band to lose weight.

She said: ‘Baby, if I could get a gastric band I would. I’ve heard it’s a lot of vomiting and a pain in the ass but it’s still easier than a diet.’

Also, she said a Hollywood doctor vetoed the idea after which she tried liposuction, which ‘was horrible and didn’t work’.

After slimming by ‘simply not eating’, the Hole singer was shocked to ‘look like a skeleton’.

She said she then started eating again. Love also described the family unit with Cobain and Frances Bean before the rock star shot himself in 1994: ‘We were excellent parents and I say that despite pretty much always having an edge on.’

She said she has told Frances Bean that she took drugs early in pregnancy but her daughter was born healthy and a good size.

Love also put to bed claims she has been sleeping with Russell Brand.

She added: ‘Russell and me are just good friends.’ Read the full interview in Elle magazine on Wednesday.

Courtney Love wants you to know she doesn’t want to end her life.

She recently alarmed fans in a bizarre rant on her MySpace blog about death.

But in a new post, she writes, “No, I am not suicidal. Occasionally, like all of us, I get depressed.”

After revealing that she suffered a “mini little depression attack” more than a year ago, Love (whose husband, Kurt Cobain, killed himself) says she has learned that “medication is not the answer” to dealing with her mood swings. (For the record, she credits yoga, a good diet and Kombucha tea.)

Love says all of the negative press she has received from bloggers is affecting her 16-year-old daughter Frances Bean.”PLEASE leave my kid out of it. When I make a technical booboo or get a little whacky [sic] … [it's] my problem,” she writes.

She goes on to say she’s quitting blogging so she doesn’t “upset” her daughter anymore.
