Love bans daughter from limelight

Courtney Love has forbidden her daughter from pursuing a career in the public eye.

The singer said she does not want 15-year-old Frances Bean to follow the example of her parents.

Love was alleged to have injected heroin while pregnant, while Frances' father, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, killed himself in 1994.

She said: "I am a good mother, and the proof is in the pudding. I would never ever put Franny on television. I would never let her do press.

"She has been offered the lead in four films, and was offered a campaign for Tommy Hilfiger, and I tell her about these offers, but she wants to be a political journalist anyway, so... "

She added: "I don't think any kid has been more wanted by both her parents and I don't think any parents have ever wanted to f*** up less than we did."
