Often, actors have roles they really want to play in their careers, and they actively pursue these roles no matter the obstacles. It appears Brad Pitt had such a wish in his career; to portray the late American musician Kurt Cobain. Pitt reportedly approached actress Courtney Love, who was Cobain’s wife at the time of his death, to pitch the biopic, however, she turned down the proposal.
Recently, Love opened up about Brad Pitt’s desire for a Cobain biopic during an appearance on the WTF podcast with Marc Maron. The Straight to Hell actress revealed that the Moneyball actor was continuously badgering her for the biopic.

Courtney Love was skeptical of Brad Pitt’s intentions for the Cobain biopic. In the eyes of the Trapped actress, she did not trust the Babylon actor and was uncertain about his commercial interests in the film. The lead vocalist of the ‘Hole’ band was not keen on Pitt playing Cobain, as she felt that he didn’t understand Cobain. Love disclosed to Maron:
“I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt. I went nuclear. I don’t do Faust. Who the fuck do you think are?… [she told Pitt] ‘I don’t know if I trust you and I don’t know that your movies are for profit. They’re really good social justice movies, but…if you don’t get me, you kind of don’t get Kurt, and I don’t feel like you do, Brad.’”
The Beat actress went on to accuse the Troy actor of retaliating by rejecting her from a role in his movie Fight Club. Courtney Love alleges that she was all set to play the character Marla Singer in the movie when she was unfairly kicked out from the film, and replaced by Helena Bonham Carter.

Sources close to the David Fincher film indicated that Courtney Love did audition for the role, but she was not selected. The source also clarified that Brad Pitt had not interfered with the casting of the movie. However, Love stated that she got the news directly from Edward Norton whom she was dating at the time, and also from Fincher, who called to inform her about the news.
After the podcast, The People vs. Larry Flynt actress took to Instagram to further confirm the statements she had made on the podcast. Love hated how the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actor wielded his power to exact revenge against her. The 200 Cigarettes actress noted on her account:
“Brad pushed me a bridge too far. I don’t like the way he does business or wields his power. It’s a simple fact, and it started during the production of ‘Fight Club’. It’s a movie. Indeed, I passed on better roles than [sic] that. Who cares? The point is Brad kept on stalking me about Kurt.”
The singer also claimed that she rejected Pitt’s pitch once again in 2020 and that she brought up the matter on the podcast to stop Pitt from further pursuing the role. Interestingly, Gus Van Sant, who approached Love alongside Pitt, later did a project loosely based on Kurt Cobain’s life, titled Last Days.

Love concluded her Instagram post by stating that she wanted to end the resentment with the Bullet Train actor. She noted that she enjoyed him as a movie star, but not as a biopic producer. Brad Pitt’s Fight Club is now available for rent on Apple TV.

Chargers News: Fight Erupts Between Bolts and Ravens After Late Hit on Justin Herbert – Sports Illustrated
Erin Blanchfield patiently awaits her next UFC assignment.
Although it’s not totally clear what that will be, Blanchfield (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) assumes an important matchup with Manon Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) is likely. The two flyweight combatants have established themselves as top contenders in a division that awaits a championship rematch between champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko while they both recover from injury.
“Yeah, it’s definitely stalling,” Blanchfield recently said during an online live stream for digital wallet platform HUMBL. “I feel like I’ve had a couple No. 1 contender fights now. But you know, I’m still pretty young and gained valuable experience in those fights. … Whether it’s an interim or not, I’ll beat (Fiorot), and then I should definitely get a title next.”
Although UFC CEO Dana White has indicated it’s next, no timeline has been revealed for Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) vs. Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC). Shevchenko had hand surgery in mid-September. Coincidentally, Grasso underwent hand surgery in early October.
Should there be further delays, Blanchfield wouldn’t mind seeing an interim title implemented. She’s healthy and ready to go, following a slight nasal fracture suffered in a unanimous decision win over Taila Santos in August.
“I haven’t been told about that yet,” Blanchfield said. I would definitely push for that. That’s something I’d definitely be interested in. I’m not sure when Valentina and Alexa are going to be ready to fight again. I know I think they’re on a similar timeline in their recovery. I would hope that if it ends up being longer, they’d have me and Manon fight for an interim.”

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Two men died after they were shot outside of a bar in Sacramento County early Sunday morning, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies responded to Sacto By Night at 7121 Governors Circle at about 1:45 a.m.
A group of people who were leaving the bar got into a fight outside, leading to a shooting, deputies said.
The victims, who were two men, died at the scene, deputies said. One of them was the owner of the bar.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office believe a group of gang members who initially refused to leave the nightclub at closing is at the center of the incident. Those gang members apparently got involved in a fight in the parking lot, investigators said, with the suspected shooter being one of those gang members.
Witnesses described a white vehicle that took off from the scene. Deputies said the CHP located a vehicle matching the description and detained four people from that vehicle.
The people detained have since been identified as being allegedly involved in the shooting. Several guns have been recovered.
According to the sheriff’s office, the names of the suspects will be released once homicide and related charges are filed.
