Russell Simmons phoned Courtney Love all day Friday to apologize for calling her a “crackhead.” The media mogul made the joke about Love at his “Running Russell Simmons” launch party at Lavo on Tuesday after we asked him what he thought of the nude photos she posted on Twitter. But on Friday, he told us he regretted offending Love: “My joke about Courtney Love was more about me than Courtney. She is a talented, sweet girl who, like me and everyone else, is in constant reform. I’ve been calling her but haven’t been able to reach her yet. I hope she still considers me a friend.” While Love told us the crackhead joke didn’t bother her, she added, “He’s really freaking . . . he is just a little mouthy is all.” She said of the Twitter photos, “There’s lots of pictures, and I’m really ashamed of it now, but I know he didn’t mean to hurt me.”
