Frances Bean Cobain wants her mother Courtney Love banned from Twitter.
The 19-year-old daughter of Courtney and late rocker Kurt Cobain has hit back at claims Dave Grohl - who was a member of Nirvana with her dad - tried to make a move on her, which her mother claimed she had heard from a friend of Frances'.
"While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn. I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way. I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy. Twitter should ban my mother," said the teenager, who has been estranged from her only parent for a few years.
Frances obtained a restraining order against her mother in 2009 and court papers recently released claimed she was terrified the Hole singer would cause both of their deaths in a fire:

Alec Baldwin has hinted he is leaving 30 Rock.
The 54-year-old actor - who plays television executive Jack Donaghy in the NBC comedy - has hit out at the network after The Today Show sent a news crew to his house following the arrest of a French-Canadian woman on charges of stalking him and said he was leaving the network "just in time."
"Outside my apt today, along side the other stalkers from the tabloid press, a crew that identified themselves as being with the Today Show. The television crew camped outside my apt said they were with the Today Show. #howthemightyhavefallen. I haven't appeared on the Today Show in many years. But did they have to camp outside my apt? A story about stalking sure brings out the stalkers in the media. But, the Today Show? No one from NBC contacted me until the Today Show arrived at my apt. I think I'm leaving NBC just in time (sic)," he wrote on his Twitter.

Lamar Odom Leaves Dallas Mavericks
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sports, Television,
Khloe Kardashian's husband Lamar Odom has left the Dallas Mavericks.
The 32-year-old basketball player - who arrived from the Los Angeles Lakers in December - has come under fire from supporters for a number of poor performances this season, which insiders believe are down to the pressure of his celebrity lifestyle and being in front of the cameras on reality TV show Khloe and Lamar.
"When he wasn't playing well, it meant he looked bad. And when you have a show about your life, when you are off-court, you have to deal with the producers asking all those questions. He had a horrible summer, but ... he was more concerned about the cameras and how he looked," an NBA source told the New York Post.
"The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it's in the best interest of both parties for me to step away," Lamar - who took a leave of absence in February after his father fell ill - confirmed in a statement.

Katy Perry: Fame is Disgusting
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rants,
Katy Perry thinks fame is "disgusting." The 27-year-old "Part Of Me" singer - who has been a regular in the gossip columns since splitting with husband Russell Brand in December - admits that while she still loves her job, she hates the exposure that comes with it.
"I'm tired of being famous already! But I'm not tired of creating. Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do. It's quite a delicate creature-- it's a wild animal of sorts. It can love you, and then it can attack you."
The regular Twitter user insists she wants fans to see her as a normal person, and not someone to be in awe of: "I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible--when I meet fans and they're crying, I'll say, 'Calm down, there's nothing to cry about. I'm not going to bite you or attack you or grant you three wishes. Let's just hang out and have a good time.' But really, I stopped focusing on what other people think a while ago. If you try to be everything to everyone, you'll only end up completely confused."
