Robert Pattinson Tells Off Courtney Love
Rumors were circulating this Spring that Twilight star Robert Pattinson might be cast in biopic about the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. As a result, Hole singer Courtney Love expressed her disapproval for the actor playing the part but now Pattinson has an answer for all the rumors and bites back against Love’s criticism.

Pattinson addressed Love in an interview blasting the whole debate as “ridiculous.”
“And you see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying ‘What the f**k! He’s totally wrong for it.’” Pattinson said. “And I’m like, ‘I f**king said no, you dick!’ I didn’t get offered it. For one thing, I’m too tall, and I can’t sing like him, I’m nothing like him! It’s ridiculous.”
The rumors about Pattinson playing Cobain has nothing to do with harsh feelings about the late singer. In fact, the English heart throb said, “I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much. I’d be embarrassed.”
When Love first got word that RPattz might be cast to play Cobain she took to Twitter and said, “HEY I LIKE R PATZ HES JUST NOT RIGHT FOR KC!” She also sounded off to the Canadian Press: “Isn’t that so stupid? Who would cast him? That’s just wrong, no offense.”
There has also been talks about Scarlett Johanssen possibly playing Courtney in the film. Luckily for Johanssen, Love has expressed a liking towards her both as an actress and as a person.

Seriously! I keep saying that the best fit for Kurt Cobain would be homeboy who starred in Last Days, Michael Pitt. He did a great job at the persona. Derrick Denicola would be a good fit too. Just put the long hair on and get into character. God!!! That would be the coolest to be the actor that gets to play Kurt Cobain!!!! I don’t know if there is anybody that can really understand who Kurt really was… And come on Courtney! Scarlett Johanssen? Dude, you’re a hot piece of rockstar Love. Choose a more suitable actress to accentuate that. Not just have some “hot” chick play you for the sake of celebrity status. Do it like a rockstar man! Not like some poser… Check out Thora Birch. She’s my candidate. Sick post Sadie! Even if it was about pattinson. Ha!
Sadie likes rob!

it’s probably a no win role , most ppl who really give a c r a p , already know the story , even those who arent nirvana fans know the story , this story is prolly best shelved for another 10-20 years , let the dude rest for awhile , and scarlett isnt right for that role either ,

Joe Anderson. He’s practically Kurt’s twin.
