Smells Like Twilight Spirit

Twilight star Robert Pattinson will keep his deathly pallor but trade his fangs for flannel if he takes on the role of tragic rock star Kurt Cobain in an upcoming biopic.

British newspaper The Sun claims that Pattinson is the choice of Cobain's widow, singer Courtney Love, who will be instrumental in the production of the biopic. The Sun reports that Love's first choice to pay herself is Scarlett Johansson.

Cobain, long rumored to be bisexual or at least pansexual, was found dead on April 8, 1994 and is considered one of the most influential musicians of the rock era. He has developed a devoted cult following in the 16 years since his death.
