Wrong Celebrity Relative, TMZ

TMZ has made a not-so-minor error, by including a picture of Christopher Coppola, when they supposedly meant to have a picture of Christian Brando for a story on the latter's recent death. Ooops. Honest mistake? Coppola, as the name suggests, is part of the Francis/Sofia clan (he's Nicolas Cage's brother), and a filmmaker. Brando, who is Marlon's son, is not a filmmaker (He was kind of an actor, but only kinda. More officially, he was a convicted killer). Here's the TMZ post:

This is probably the most press Christopher Coppola has gotten, in years.

UPDATE: They've corrected the error, but make no mention of it.

My 6th sense is telling me someone close to me, maybe even related to me by blood, did this as some sort of twisted birthday present. I wouldn't put it past him. In the end, I guess there's a touch humor in all of this. It is probably the most publicity Matt Dentler has gotten as well for spotting such an absurd, suspect error. In any case, I thank him for it.

Christopher Coppola is a great guy, it's really crappy that they did this.
