Courtney Love claims she slept with Gavin Rossdale even though he was with Gwen Stefani.

On “The Howard Stern Show” on Sirius XM Radio Monday, the Hole rocker, 45, said she had a “vision of marrying Gavin Rossdale one time … We were like, ‘Let’s go spend our rock star money!’”

During their eight months together, “we had a really good time …” she said. “He was lovely.”

She said she took heat because many thought Rossdale, 44, was too much like her ex, late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

“Everyone gave me so much s— because Gavin sounded like a lot like Kurt….” Love said. “But man, he was such an Adonis in his day! He got good in bed … something happened. Maybe Gwen taught him, for all I know.”

Stern then asked her, “You were [having sex] him while he was with Gwen Stefani?”

“Yes,” Love replied. “She does know.”

Stern continued: “You mean he was having sex with you while he was with her?”

“Everyone … yeah … and a few other people,” Love said. “We didn’t have a lot of pressure on each other, but we did like each other quite a bit.”

Rossdale has yet to comment on Love’s claims.

This isn’t the first time Rossdale has been in a scandal.

In 2004, DNA tests revealed that he had a secret lovechild. Stefani, 40, was said to be “devastated.”

The two, who wed in 2002, have two sons together: Kingston, almost 4, and Zuma, 1 1/2.

Now that Courtney Love’s career is hot again, she says she’s been turning to an old boyfriend to help her with her daughter. Courtney, whose new single “Skinny Little Bitch” is already a smash, isn’t allowed contact with her 17-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, after the two had an altercation at their New York apartment in October.

A judge took Frances away from Courtney in December to live with of the mother and sister of Frances’ father, rocker Kurt Cobain, who took his own life in 1994. But Courtney says the two have been communicating through her ex, Edward Norton, whom Courtney calls a “force of good” in the mother-daughter relationship.

In other Love news, Courtney has been seen on the arm of hotelier Andre Balazs, ex-husband of modeling mogul Katie Ford and ex-boyfriend of Uma Thurman.

From TMZ:

The judge’s order prohibiting Courtney Love from having contact with her daughter – Frances Bean Cobain — has just been extended … and the clock is now ticking on their relationship.

The judge had stripped Courtney of legal control of her daughter back in December. The judge also issued a restraining order. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the restraining order has now been extended to April 9.

Fact is — Frances Bean turns 18 in August. At that point, it’s up to her … not a judge … to decide what relationship she wants to have with her mother.

For now, Frances Bean’s guardians are Wendy O’Connor (Kurt Cobain’s mom), and Kimberly Dawn Cobain (Kurt’s sister).

She’s aware that she is the rock ‘n’ roll mom many love to hate. “Say the name Courtney Love to a stranger and they’re liable to respond, ‘That horrible woman!’ ” the Hole singer, 45, tells Dazed and Confused magazine.

But with over 7,000 followers on Twitter and a much-anticipated new record, it’s obvious folks can’t seem to get enough of her. Especially when she’s going off about family issues, like her recent loss of custody of daughter Frances Bean Cobain, an issue that’s still in flux, as far as Love is concerned.

“The past few years have been Frances and me against the world,” she says.

But for the life of her she can’t understand why so many people care. “I don’t make a good celebrity and nor do I want to,” she says. “If I was a good celebrity I’d be really enigmatic and contrived. Some people can step outside themselves and view themselves how others do. I just can’t.”

Admitting that she doesn’t “communicate brilliantly in any other form” but music, her next record, Nobody’s Daughter, offers a deeper glimpse into her world. Crafting an album about “greed, the recession, the depression [and] vengeance” she says, has “been the most important thing in my life other than Frances.”

Having successfully worked through her drug addiction, a struggle she says led to the “failure” of her solo career, Love has learned, “that you can’t be Mick and Keith. You can’t be the one on drugs and the one in control.”

Courtney Love has again taken to Twitter, this time to rant about her plans to sue the mother and sister of Love’s late husband Kurt Cobain over custody of daughter Frances Bean.

Using the new Twitter handle CourtneyLoveUK, the Hole frontwoman insisted: “this s–t with the bean needs to be exposed for what it is right f–king NOW enough.”

Love, 45, also wrote (spelling and grammar hers): “they squeesed my bank accounts so that they were frozen because they know im going to sue the holy s–t out of them and now are … crocodiling my kid whose better than this seriously she was raised too well to be bought,” referring to her daughter’s grandmother, Kimberly Dawn Cobain, and aunt Wendy O’Connor.

Love, 45, has a temporary restraining order against her that prevents her from contacting her 17-year-old daughter.

Another Tweet from Love proclaims: “im severely lonely without my best friend and no am not on drugs BTW.”
