The crazy train that is Courtney Love just keeps rolling on. This time, the former Hole frontwoman is trying to hook up her 16-year-old daughter, Frances, with “Twilight” heart-throb Robert Pattinson, 22. Hopefully, she’s letting her agents do the talking and not trying to speak with him directly – or worse, write him an incoherent, horribly spelled note. Run, Robert! Run!
Singer Courtney Love has a passion for all things British.
She’s still looking for her dream home in England, and now I’m told she’s on the hunt for a perfect English gentleman…for her daughter Frances Bean.
Former wild child Courtney, who wants 16-year-old Frances educated in England, has told friends she is keen to set her up with Robert Pattinson, the 22-year-old star of the hit new vampire movie Twilight.
France is said to have fallen for London-born Robert and mum is playing matchmaker.
‘Courtney thinks he’s charming and handsome and absolutely has to be Frances’s first date,’ says a source.
‘She’s doing everything she can to engineer another meeting.’
I’m still in shock that little Frances is 16 years old. I still remember seeing her now deceased father bouncing her as a baby on his knee… just before instigating a fight with Axl Rose backstage at the MTV VMAs. Ah, the good old days. I guess the only redeeming quality about having Courtney Love as your mother is that she is famous and well connected enough to maybe land you a date with your dream boy. But on the flip side, your mom is Courtney Love, and no publicity stunt date with the new “it” boy is going to take that kind of pain away. And the worst part is, insanity is hereditary. And I also have to wonder – will Robert Pattinson really be interested in a 16 year old girl – even if she’s Kurt Cobain’s kid?

Gah! I’m 22 and that would just feel creepy…
Isn’t it a bit late for her first date? She’s 16, and they do live in Hollywood, right?
She also sounds a bit old to be “educated in England,” unless she intends to go to university there. Or ‘finishing school.’
What kind of mother tries to hook up her 16 year old daughter with a 22 year old man?!
The same mother who overdoses in front of her child and temporarily loses custody because she is so f’ed up… pimping her kid out to a 22 year old is small potatoes in the Courtney Love handbook of parenting!
She looks a little bit like Kelly Osborne.
poor kid looks like she has “bulemia face”
My daughter would feel soooo embarrased if i did something like that.She can’t just try to hook her daughter with every actor she has a thing for.
Zoe, she looks just like her mother when she was younger before all the plastic surgery. Courtney had a bit role in ‘Sid and Nancy’ and you can see it there.
what is this??
robert will never date a girl with 16 years old!!
thats crazy and her mom its a freak just for thinking in this!!!!!!!
I’m just shocked that she’s so pretty!
Yes, Courtney Trainwreck had a bit part in Sid & Nancy, but she was pretty fug. Thank God her daughter didn’t get her looks!
Just out of curiosity what is “bulemia face”?
Most Embarrassing Mom of All Time.
trillion- yeah! can you IMAGINE 1) having a mom like courtney…period! she is an all around crazy-person 2) having said crazy-person trying to hook you up with a guy youre crushing on?
ughhh i would die. poor thing, i hope she has her head on straight.
@brianne…bulemics tend to end up with really puffy faces. not sure why, but its a common side effect…
that being said. ha! goood luck with that courtney! no offense to frances, as i hope she is a sweet girl, but to date a famous 22 yr old at 16…she’d have to be drop dead gorgeous….sorry.
Didn’t I read somewhere that he had a girlfriend?
Aside from the lipstick color, she IS a dead ringer for Kelly Osbourne. She can do better than little Mr. Ratface FlashInThePan, however.

I don’t care what you say, I love Courtney Love! The guy looks cute. *Shrug* who knows.
God, I would actually love it if my mum had the power to hook my up with Robert Pattinson. I would be eternally grateful to her, not that I’m not already. But she looks way older that 16. And who cares about age. It’s all about the personality. They could work….sorta….
give it time… in a coupla years, it will actually be legal. lol
also, why the hell all the comparisons to kelly osborne? frances is twenty times prettier than her amd MOST girls her age, for that matter. if i were frances, my ego would be swollen to the SIZE OF THE MOON about my deceased yet ever legendary father, and my mother who was a kinderwhore bombshell back in the day. sure, courtney is losing her looks and her talent, but like she said on myspace, “everything old is new”, lest we forget who she was in a previous life with kurt.
i’ll bet frances will prove herself to be an amazingly talented individual someday, with proper spelling and a best selling auto-biography to boot. i’d read it in one night without putting it down, that’s how fascinating i find this grrrl.
