Hole rocker Courtney Love has revealed that she put her friends in the art world in touch with modern pop icon Lady Gaga and they influenced her as an artist.

Speaking to Gay Times recently, the 'Celebrity Skin' star explained that she likes that Gaga is involved in the art world, but is a little concerned with how it translates into the pop music industry: 

"Well, I'm friendly with her. She started hanging out with a lot of my art friends and I think it influenced her and that's great but it doesn't necessarily translate for the masses. She tried to take it on and sort of acclimate it into pop."

Love, meanwhile, has revealed to The Telegraph that the proposed musical about the late Nirvana frontman's life is 'more of a play': “It’s more a play, conceived by a brilliant team. I can’t name names, but when you hear who is possibly involved, it takes on a new dimension. Otherwise it’s Vegas rubbish, and I will never allow it.”
