14 DAY TRIAL // While Twi-hards would argue that there is not a better person to portray Bella from “The Twilight Saga” than Kristen Stewart, rocker Courtney Love says that the part was initially offered to her daughter, Frances Bean.
Luckily, she turned it down – not because she didn’t think it worth her time but rather because she has plans to complete her education.
In a brand new interview with the Daily Mail, Love offers the world an insight into the dysfunctional relationship she has with her still minor daughter, while also making some rather impossible to verify claims.
Whether Love makes this type of statements deliberately or they just come out against her will is hard to determine – but this is not the first time she tries to ride on the coattails of the Twilight phenomenon.
As the rocker puts it, who is now living separated from her daughter as per a court’s ruling, Frances Bean, her daughter with late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, was initially offered Bella’s part.
If she’d said yes, she would have been set to make a fortune and put herself next to A-listers in today’s world of the movies.
Frances, though, chose to finish her studies; and it wasn’t just this part in “Twilight” that she turned down, Love argues.
“Frances is so beautiful, but she doesn’t want to be famous. She was offered the part of Bella in the Twilight movies, and Tim Burton wanted her for Alice in Wonderland,” Love claims.
“But she wants to go to college: she’s very good at graphic novels. Frances will be fine, it’ll be fine,” she adds. If this is true, Twi-hards must be breathing one huge sigh of relief.
Frances will only be fine if someone takes good care of her and her money, Love goes on to say: she now has a $40,000 monthly allowance which, in her mom’s words, is enough money to be the end of her.
“She is going to be 18 on 15 August. Thank God, because then this whole palaver will be done. She lives in a mansion by herself. A 17-year-old getting $40,000 a month is outrageous to me, that’s on top of them paying for the mansion,” Love explains.
“There’s no drug testing going on. It’s a lot of money for a normal person. It’s enough money to kill her, if she is doing drugs, enough money to be gone by the time she’s 22…” the rocker adds.
