Courtney Love has claimed that her daughter Frances Bean Cobain was originally offered the lead role in the Twilight series but turned it down.

The Hole lead singer has had a turbulent relationship with her daughter who was fathered by the late Kurt Cobain, but is reportedly back on speaking terms with her at the moment.

Love made the claim during an interview on US radio and also branded the Twilight franchise a “sexist Mormon piece of s**t.”

In the interview she discussed the state of their relationship at the moment saying: ''I'm really good with my daughter now - we're emailing and tweeting."

Love has been in the news recently for making another claim, telling the media that Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl allegedly made a pass at Frances.

She claimed that she heard the rumour from an “impeccable source” though didn’t divulge any further information about the source.

She later apologized for the public nature of her comments against Grohl but stood by her claims against him saying: “the reality is, Dave did say these dirty things.”
