Lindsay Lohan might want to get a makeover — stat.

Exhausted from shopping on Robertson Boulevard in L.A. on May 9, the starlet took a break to grab lunch at Cuvιe Cafι when fans started shouting, "Courtney! Courtney!"

"People actually mistook Lindsay for Courtney Love!" a source tells Star.

Wearing black Ray-Ban sunglasses and bright-pink lipstick similar to what Courtney sometimes wears, she was a dead ringer for the rock queen.

"She was also looking extremely pale," the source adds. "You know things are going downhill when you get mistaken for an ex-druggie plastic surgery disaster who's twice your age!"

Rocker Courtney Love is desperate to flee her hectic lifestyle in "dirty" Los Angeles and set up home in the English countryside. She has previously house-hunted in the British capital and even viewed Kate Moss' north London apartment, but pulled out of the $7 million deal after deciding it was not for her.

The former Hole singer, 43, claims the U.K. is a much healthier place to bring up her daughter with late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, 15-year-old Frances Bean, and has been viewing properties in the country for several months with the hope of finding a permanent home.

She says, "I am fed up with Los Angeles. It's dirty and full of crazy people. I want a complete lifestyle change. People criticize Britain but it is still a cleaner, safer place to live than Hollywood. I don't want to live in the city. I love the greenery and the freshness of the countryside. It is just a healthier place for me to be. I've been house-hunting seriously and I'll know as soon as I find the perfect place."

Love was recently spotted looking at properties around the $10 million range in the plush area of Sunningdale in Berkshire, south-east England, an area that is often referred to as the Royal County of Berkshire because of royal residence Windsor Castle's location in the county. And rock royalty Love could soon meet true royalty - Britain's Prince Andrew also owns a mansion in Sunningdale.

Fraudsters have used dead grunge god Kurt Cobain's Social Security number to purchase a $3.2 million mansion and two cars — and get 188 credit cards, his widow Courtney Love, who is working with California police, has revealed.

"I knew it had been going on since when I went cuckoo — bananas — in 2003," Courtney, 43, told The Sun in London. "It was fraud after fraud. But nobody believed me until now. I did a check on my deceased husband’s Social Security number and he has a house in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He bought it last year. I would like to know how. He should probably get his a** back home if that is the case."

The former Hole frontwoman, who, all in the span of 2003 (the year she believes the thefts began) lost custody of her daughter, Frances Bean, overdosed on drugs and was arrested, is now working with California police and forensic accountants to help with the investigation.

Thieves have also stolen $72.5 million from the trust fund set up for Frances Bean. The late Nirvana star's estate earns about $42 million each year, most of which goes into the 15-year-old's trust fund.

"Taking a child's money and future is a really horrible thing," Courtney said.

Reports surfaced over the weekend that Courtney Love went to the LAPD to report she's the victim of a massive identity theft. But sources tell TMZ Courtney is simply (and possibly medically) delusional.

According to The Sun, Courtney claimed the identity thieves got 188 credit cards in her name, stole checks and bought cars. We've confirmed Love did make the trek to the Van Nuys division of the LAPD to make a report last week, but sources tell us they are not taking it seriously, one source adding, "it never happened."

We're told mentally, Courtney has been on the rocks. We found out she's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder -- this could explain Courtney's latest blogs which are impossible to decipher.

Bottom line -- we're told law enforcement thinks the identity fraud is in Courtney's mind.

[Courtney] celebrated turning 43 on Monday by having a big booze-up with Mighty Boosh funnyman Noel Fielding, then wrecking her £495-a-night suite in a five-star Central London hotel.

Courtney - who had earlier that night played a gig at The Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush - stubbed cigarettes out on the four-poster and tossed butts on the carpet.

The bedclothes were ruined and sofas left riddled with burn marks - leaving damage running into thousands of pounds. "Staff said the room was left in a right state - like a wild animal had been let loose in there" She had used the place as an ashtray with butts strewn about and burn marks all over the bed, carpet and upholstery. I feel sorry for whoever had to clean it up."

"I'm going to have a Christie's auction. (My house) is like a mausoleum. My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant ... bag full of flannel ... shirts," says Love, former frontwoman of the rock band Hole. "A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to '(Smells Like) Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just ... sell."

Love, whose upcoming album is titled, "Nobody's Daughter," says friends support the idea. "Everyone's been positive and behind me on it," she says. "We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity."
