Love Notes: A security guard carried a sobbing Courtney Love off the stage in Mountain View, Calif., after the leader of the rock band Hole twice jumped into the audience to attack fans. “Louder, you --!” she exhorted, apparently unhappy at the audience response on Friday’s closing night of the summer Lollapalooza tour of alternative bands. Before the fracas with fans, Hole led the audience in a “Happy Birthday” sing-along for Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Love and her late husband, Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, demanding “respect for Frances Bean Cobain, who’s 3 years old today.”

In Tha Dogg Pound: Already under fire for its artists’ violent and sexually explicit lyrics, Time Warner asked to review new material by Tha Dogg Pound but was rebuffed by the rappers, a music industry source said Friday. Interscope Records head Jimmy Iovine said last week he would not give in to the Time Warner request. “Asking to listen to our artists’ lyrics or music content prior to completion would be disruptive and counterproductive,” Iovine told the Wall Street Journal. “It would also go against everything Interscope has stood for since the day of its conception.” Tha Dogg Pound is the latest group of gangsta rappers in Dr. Dre’s stable of West Coast rappers.
