Courtney Love Recalls Visit with 'Repulsive' Marlon Brando, Who She Thought for Years Was Her Grandfather

Courtney Love believed Marlon Brando might be her grandfather due to his alleged relationship with her grandmother Paula Fox

NEED TO KNOW

• Love met Brando through Warren Beatty but found him "super repulsive"

• Paula Fox, Love's biological grandmother, gave up Love's mother for adoption

Courtney Lovethought for years thatMarlon Brandomight be her grandfather — and even though she's now certain he's not, she's opening up about their unimpressive meeting.

The Hole frontwoman, 61, said on Billy Corgan'sThe Magnificent Otherspodcast on Wednesday, April 1 that she long believed the legendary actor to be her grandfather, as he'd allegedly slept with her grandma, the novelist Paula Fox.

"When I met him, I thought he was super repulsive and that tracked. I was like, 'Oh, I must be related to this guy,'" she told Corgan.

Love said she was friendly with Brando's neighborWarren Beatty, and eventually "lobbied him" to facilitate a meeting between the two.

"'I just want to meet him. I don't want anything from Marlon Brando,'" she recalled telling Beatty. "And then Warren, he said, 'Marlon wants a note from you.' So I wrote him a note. 'I don't want anything from you.'"

At one point, after giving the Oscar winner her "word" that she had no ulterior motives, she used Brando's bathroom and eyed his toothbrush, knowing she could easily swipe it and use his DNA to uncover the truth about her lineage.

"Nah. Like, nah. Maybe I'm too much of a feminist, but I was like, 'I don't need your last name.' That's how I felt," she said. "Also, I gave my word. But I'm glad I didn't because it turned out he wasn't even my grandfather, so there's the comedy there."

Love did not identify her actual grandfather, but noted he was a very tall man.

Both Fox, who died in 2017 at age 93, and Brando lived with noted acting teacher Stella Adler in the early 1940s, when Fox conceived Love's mother, Linda Carroll.

She later gave Carroll, now 81, up for adoption, and Love only learned in adulthood that Fox was her biological grandmother.

The two met just once, and the meeting was a volatile one.

"She's awful, she's awful. She's terrible!" Fox said of Love inThe Observerin 2013. "I met with her for an hour, and the hour was like an hour in the devil's pocket, for both of us… I don't want to be mean."

The singer, meanwhile, called Fox's "absolute dislike" of her "shocking and inexplicable."

Still, Love quipped to the outlet that "if you look at me before my first nose job, I kind of look like Marlon Brando."

Brando was the father of at least 11 children. He died in 2004 at 80 years old.

Kennedy sidelining of US advisory panel delays updates to cancer screening guidelines

By Deena Beasley

April 2 (Reuters) - The sidelining by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of the advisory panel that decides access to free preventive healthcare is delaying updates to screening guidelines for cancer, heart disease and other conditions, medical experts say.

The 16-member U.S. Preventive ‌Services Task Force last met over a year ago. Three successive planned meetings were canceled and new members have not been named to replace ‌the five volunteers whose terms expired in December.

The panel, established in 1984, determines which medical tests and treatments, such as routine cancer screening or HIV prevention, are provided cost-free under health insurance plans. It ​can also decide that a test or treatment should not be routine.

Without the task force "commercial insurances can choose or not choose to cover these new preventive services," said Dr. Alex Krist, a family practice physician at Virginia Commonwealth University and a former chair of the preventive care panel.

Early cancer detection saves lives and money, according to the American Cancer Society, but there are upfront costs. A recent study calculated the lifetime cost of mammograms for an average-risk U.S. woman at around $7,000.

The task force, which usually issues ‌around 22 draft and final recommendations annually, last year posted ⁠seven and none have been issued so far this year.

The panel was in the earlier stages of updating guidelines including for prostate cancer screening, genetic testing for a mutation linked to breast cancer, and the use of drugs to prevent people at ⁠high risk from developing breast cancer.

TRUSTED EXPERTS

"We have to rely on a trusted group of experts who have really weighed the benefits and risks and are looking at overall population health and doing no harm," said Dr. Julie Gralow, chief medical officer at the American Society of Clinical Oncology. "Patients do trust these as well."

Medical groups, which don't always agree with ​the ​panel's guidelines, have called on Congress "to protect the integrity" of the task force. Last month, 19 ​U.S. senators sent a letter to Kennedy urging him to ‌support the work of the panel.

Sidelining the task force aligns with broader goals outlined by President Donald Trump to reshape federal health regulation.

"The current administration would not only like to cut back on regulation, they would definitely like to cut back on required benefits under the Affordable Care Act," said Joseph Antos, senior fellow emeritus at conservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute.

The U.S. Supreme Court in a 2025 ruling involving insurance coverage for HIV prevention, affirmed that the Health Secretary has authority over the preventive care panel.

The panel in 2023 recommended that people at high risk be treated with drugs to prevent HIV infection, but that has not been ‌updated to include Gilead Sciences' newer twice-yearly injection, Yeztugo.

As a result, patient costs for Yeztugo are ​set by individual plans, UnitedHealthcare, the largest U.S. health insurer, said in an email. The insurer ​said its commercial plans cover older HIV prevention medications at zero cost ​to patients.

An update to cervical cancer screening remains in the draft stage. After the first at-home pap smear was approved by ‌regulators last year, a different federal agency stepped in to require ​that it be covered by insurers starting ​in 2027.

Other recommendations under review involve screening for unhealthy alcohol use or depression and whether vitamin D prevents fractures and falls in older people.

Cardiovascular medical groups recently advised that adults at high long-term risk of heart disease start cholesterol-lowering treatment as early as age 30 instead of the current 40.

The ​guidelines are expected to affect millions, but unless the ‌federal task force matches them, insurers are not required to cover wider testing or treatment, the trade group America's Health Insurance Plans and UnitedHealthcare ​said in emails.

"Primary care is kind of struggling with what we should do," Virginia Commonwealth's Krist said. "The task force is meant to ​be objective."

What is Good Friday? What to know about holy day ahead of Easter.

One of the most somber days of the Christian calendar has arrived:Good Friday.

The holy day,which takes place a couple of days before Easter, commemorates Jesus Christ's sacrifice, more specifically the suffering and agony he faced leading up to his Crucifixion.

Good Fridayis a day for "sorrow, penance, and fasting," according toBritannica.

It is one of several Christian celebrations that pay homage to the events leading up to the Crucifixion and Christ's miraculous resurrection on Easter Sunday. The time period is known as Holy Week.

"Good Friday has been, for centuries now, the heart of the Christian message because it is through the death of Jesus Christ that Christians believe that we have been forgiven of our sins," Daniel Alvarez, an associate teaching professor of religious studies at Florida International University,previously told USA TODAY.

Here's what to know about Good Friday, including what date it falls on in 2026.

What is Good Friday? And when is it this year?

Good Friday commemorates "Jesus' trial before Pontius Pilate, his sentence of death, his torture, and his crucifixion and burial," according to theUniversity of Melbourne's Trinity College. The second-to-last day of Holy Week falls on Friday, April 3, this year.

Good Friday, for many Christians, is a "day of fasting, with the faithful attending a church service where they will meditate on and venerate the cross of Christ," Trinity College explains.

The Rev. Dustin Dought, executive director of the Secretariat of Divine Worship for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, previously told USA TODAY that fasting is "a way of emptying ourselves so that we can be filled with God."

Catholics generally abstain from all forms of meat (sans fish) for Lent, a 40-day period, in the time leading up to Holy Week, including Good Friday.

The Good Friday tradition is designed to honor the way Christ sacrificed his flesh.

Are Good Friday and Passover related?

Alvarez previously told USA TODAY that there was a "direction connection" between Good Friday andPassover, one of the most widely celebrated Jewish holidays.

"The whole Christian idea of atoning for sin, that Jesus is our atonement, is strictly derived from the Jewish Passover tradition," Alvarez said.

While Good Friday commemorates Christ's sacrifice and Passover celebrates the day the "Angel of Death" passed over the homes of Israelites, the "blood of the lamb" is a symbol and theme present in both stories.

In the Christian faith, Jesus is referred to as the "Lamb of God" and is believed to be the "Son of God."

According to Alvarez, the stories of the exodus and the crucifixion not only further tie the stories together but also emphasize how powerful sacrifice, specifically of a firstborn child, and bloodshed are in religion.

"Jesus is the firstborn, so the whole idea of the death of the firstborn is crucial," Alvarez said.

The sacrifice itself is important because it is believed to unleash "tremendous power that is able to fend off any kind of force, including the wrath of God," Alvarez said. Humanity is protected from the "wrath of a righteous God that cannot tolerate sin" because of Jesus' sacrifice.

International groups warn of 'spiral of violence' against journalists in Serbia

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — International media organizations have joined Serbian journalists in raising the alarm about worsening press freedoms in theBalkan country, including "record levels" of physical violence, online smear campaigns and death threats against reporters.

Serbia Tensions Media

The partner organizations of the Council of Europe's Platform for the Safety of Journalists and the Media Freedom Rapid Response groups said in a statement released this week that "the past year had seen a continued deterioration, leaving the country in a prolonged and worsening press freedom crisis."

The statement warned that "chances of further escalation in the severity of attacks against journalists remain dangerously high."

A delegation visited Serbiaon March 26-27, holding meetings with both the media and government representatives.

"The mission came at a time of unprecedented physical attacks on journalists and rampant online smear campaigns, led or amplified by influential members of the ruling party," the statement said. "The delegation is fearful that journalists are caught in a spiral of violence with few protections in place."

There was no immediate response from the government's information ministry to a request for comment for The Associated Press.

Dozens of Serbian journalistson Wednesday blocked traffic outside the office of Serbia's populistPresident Aleksandar Vucicto protest the latest spate of attacks recorded during violence-marred local elections on Sunday.

The Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia said that 20 reporters were attacked on Sunday, while around 100 attacks have been recorded so far this year.

International election observersat the balloting said they witnessed violence and irregularities. The vote was held in 10 municipalities throughout Serbia. It was seen as a test for Vucic after more than a year of youth-led protests that first erupted aftera train station tragedyin Nov. 2024 that killed 16 people.

While he formally seeks EU membership for Serbia, the increasingly authoritarian Vucic and his government have been accused by rights groups ofclamping down on democracy, including media freedoms.

International media groups said in their statement that pressure and attacks on media workers surged since the station canopy collapse in Novi Sad and the start of the student-ledmass demonstrations. The group cited "alarming levels of impunity" with hardly any of the perpetrators being held accountable.

"Clear political will is needed to break the downward spiral and ensure all attacks on the media are properly sanctioned under the law," the statement said.

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni's Cutest Friendship Photos

In 1999,Mariska HargitayandChristopher Melonistepped into their roles asLaw & Order: Special Victims Unit's Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler, playing partners on screen and ultimately becoming pals off.

Now, over two decades later, the pair continue to be friends (Hargitay is godmother to Meloni's daughter) and have evenreunited onscreen for crossover eventsbetweenLaw & Order: SVUand its Stabler-centric spinoff,Law & Order: Organized Crime.

To celebrate Meloni's 65th birthday on April 2, 2026, look back at some of his best friendship moments with Hargitay both on and off camera.

Story Time

A fan on Xshared two photos of Hargitay and Meloni hugging on the red carpet of the 2026 ACE Eddie Awards and asked, "What's the story here?" TheLaw & Order: Organized Crimeleading man cheekily responded, "You know damn well what this story is."

You Asked, He Delivered

When a fan tagged Meloni inan X postnot-so-subtly asking him to share a "Chriska" selfie, the actor obliged.

Carry On

Meloni and Hargitay attended the 2025 Emmys in honor of theLaw & Orderfranchise's 35th anniversary, and they presented Outstanding Drama Series withTony Goldwyn,Ice-Tand S. Epatha Merkerson.

Afterward, Hargitay received a helping hand (or pair of arms) out of the venue.

Hand in Hand

More than 25 years afterLaw & Order: SVUpremiered, these two are just as tight as ever. At an April 2025 New York Knicks game, the two held hands from their courtside seats during a family outing with Meloni's wife Sherman and Hargitay's son August.

Say Cheese!

While Meloni might not be a series regular onSVUanymore, these two still reunite on set from time to time as Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler. In March, Meloni marked the moment by capturing a sweet selfie.

Where It Began

The pairdescribed their initial screen testto PEOPLE, recounting how they walked into the audition room while Meloni was in the middle of telling Hargitay a story, and were so engaged they asked executives to give them a moment to finish the story before they began auditioning.

From there, Hargitay says it was "effortless, easy, fun."

Back At It

In the criminal justice system, it should be illegal how much fun these two have on set (captured here in a shot from set shared by Hargitay).

Cheek to Cheek

Meloni has returned the favor,sharing his own set photos with his longtime BFF on Instagram.

Premiere Pair

Yes, this photo is from the 2000 premiere ofCoyote Ugly,a film wealsosaw in theaters with our BFF.

All Smiles

Hargitay described meeting Meloni, telling PEOPLE, "I walked in, saw him, and I went, 'That guy. That's the guy.' It went deep, very fast. We both knew that it was something big." She added, "I won't say that I fully understood it, but I knew that meeting him was important and life-changing."

Ready to Help

"It was like family," Hargitaysaid of their relationship. "It was like having a brother that had me."

And Meloni certainly had her back (or at least, the back of her dress) at the People's Choice Awards in 2000.

In the Squad Room

Their chemistry off screen made for even better chemistry on the show, with Hargitay playing the even-keeled "good cop," Olivia Benson, and Meloni playing the passionate (and at times impulsive) Stabler.

Fun with Dad — and Godmom!

Their special bond expands beyond just the two of them! Back when Meloni welcomed his first daughter, Sophia, he and his wife Sherman asked Hargitay to be her godmother.

In Character

The pair played the partners — who worked in sync and always had each other's backs — for 12 years before Meloni left in 2011 due to issues with contract negotiations.

On the Lookout

Hargitay told PEOPLE she was "devastated"when her friend and costar abruptly exited the series.

"I was just so sad, because we started this thing and built it together," she explained. "And we went through so many milestones and spent so much time together and understood so many things that nobody else could understand."

New Look

Milestones that included seeing each other get married and have children ... and this blonde hair that Hargitay rocked in 2001.

Fun and Games

Meloni toldEntertainment Tonightthat, despite his departure from the show in 2011, that they have always stayed friends.

"We just pick it up right where we left off and we've said it's like we don't have this relationship with anyone else… It's unique, it's full of laughter, she's full of love. We just kind of fall seamlessly into that place every time we see each other," he told the outlet.

So 2000s

The future of their friendship was so bright, they had to wear shades.

All Dressed Up

Meloni told PEOPLE of Hargitay, "Her insights into life and how she engages life — which I have always found fascinating, interesting — makes me consider my engagement with life and how I go through life. It's kind of enviable and nice to be around."

Partners Forever

In 2010, the pair looked gorgeous while presenting at 62nd Annual PrimetimeEmmy Awards. Hargitay has been nominated eight times, winning once in 2006. Meloni earned himself a nod in 2006 for outstanding lead actor in a drama series.

Lights On

Hargitay told PEOPLE that the moment they came back together on screen was "so emotional."

"It was this thing that I had really dreamed about," she added.

Us, too, Mariska. Us, too.

Breaking the Ice

"It was Pavlovian: Ring that bell, and you get right into Stabler and Benson," Meloni told PEOPLE of their return to the screen in theOrganized Crimecrossover event.

"There was so much shorthand between us, which all goes back to the trust we have," Hargitay added. "He's always made me feel like I could just jump off the ledge, the cliff, the bridge, and he would catch me, in so many ways, whether it was comedy or acting or friendship."

"It's simple," Meloni said. "We have each other's back."

All Love

Get you someone who goofs off with you the way Meloni does with Hargitay, here at the 2021 US Open.

On the Same Wavelength

Speaking to PEOPLEon Sept. 20, 2022, at theLaw & Orderseason premiere red carpet in New York City ahead of the show's 24th season, Hargitay shared her feelings about being dubbed costar Meloni's "second wife" on Wikipedia.

"That isawesome," she said. "It's kind of right in a way, isn't it?"

Bestie Outing

The stars were each other's plus-ones at the 2022 PrimetimeEmmy Awards, where they fought off a thief (and almost kissed!)before presenting an award.

Three Cheers for Benson and Stabler!

This is an accurate depiction of me screaming about how much I love that these two are friends after all these years.
