Frances and Courtney Cobain on 8/2/07. Newer photos have her looking a lot more grown up
Frances Cobain, the long suffering daughter of whackjob Courtney Love and the deceased Kurt Cobain, has somehow landed herself a coveted internship at Rolling Stone Magazine. I’m sure it’s because she is an outstanding student and an accomplished budding journalist. There was certainly no nepotism involved. Right? Yeah, I didn’t buy it, either. The teen may or may not be doing a good job in her position, depending on whom you believe.
Most magazine interns fetch coffee, run errands for editors and do some actual work - but maybe not Frances Bean Cobain. The 15-year-old daughter of Courtney Love and Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain is the new summer aide at Rolling Stone. Insiders say “she doesn’t get coffee for anyone . . . calls in sick all the time and wears funny outfits.” A Rolling Stone rep denied the story, telling Page Six, “She’s a great girl, and we’re thrilled to have her.”
Maybe Frances is interning to be the new, female Hunter S. Thompson. That would actually be kind of awesome. The magazine has had a huge void since Hunter died, lacking an authentic voice of countercultural debauchery. Frances definitely has the pedigree of insanity and family history of drug abuse that would put her in the running to step in and fill that void. Maybe she could write a book called “Fear and Loathing in Seattle.” That poor girl has probably seen more in her 15 years than most adults I know. As for the funny outfits- have you seen what her mother wears in public?

A lot of times children of addicts actually take on a parental role. She was with Courtney when she hit bottom and right before the court placed Frances with relatives she had to be taking care of both of them.
She seems very poised for a person her age, I’m sure part of this internship is going to be about Frances learning that people who work show up, on time and omg stay all day and do stuff they are asked to do! She’s probably never going to do a conventional job but at least she will have an idea of what millions of others do every day. Unless her mom blows what’s left of the Kurt money - again.

“The magazine has had a huge void since Hunter died, lacking an authentic voice of countercultural debauchery.”
That’s quite an understatement. They’re definitely a very mainstream, celeb-oriented rag since the 1980s. No more groundbreaking or cutting-edge music journalism.

Is that even Courtney’s face anymore? She went from naturally ugly to unnaturally ugly since Kurt died. I recall she got a massive boob job shortly after his death and told people she was at an ashram in upstate New York to keep the surgery a secret. Kurt would not approve of anything this phony wanna be does.
-
If she is a brat its probably because she is 15. Aren’t all 15 year old girls brats?
-
Years ago, I read an interview with Courtney Love (in Vanity Fair, maybe?) in which she was asked to name the one lesson she wanted her daughter to learn, if that was the only thing she could teach her. Love’s answer was something like “Ignore history, nothing before you matters.”
So it wouldn’t surprise me if Frances Bean is a brat. I’m not sure what else she’s been raised to be.
On the other hand, who knows? Maybe she didn’t show up one day and was slow getting coffee for someone who was rude to her. I don’t know that there’s any way to know how accurate or inaccurate the complaints are.

…15 and a summer intern for Rolling Stone?!
Yeeeah, NO nepotism THERE, whoo-boy! Hell, I went to one of the best liberal-arts colleges in NYC and we couldn’t land that gig to save our lives. No matter how much it may suck now, it’s still probably the most coveted internship in the ‘alternative’ publishing world.
-
Good thing she looks like her dad, is all I can say. Rolling Stone magazine lost its edge about the same time Britney Spears first graced its covers. It used to be about real artists with depth and soul until that moment, now its just another RIAA voicebox / advertising outlet.
-
The reason I don’t read Rolling Stone is because of its heavy-handed politics. I didn’t vote for Bush and am no fan of most of his policies (check out his huge investment in fighting AIDS in Africa before you react to the “most of”), but Rolling Stone acts like there were no troubles on Earth or in Heaven before he got into office. Its anti-Bush pieces are just pound, pound, pound, which I find unreadable.
-
she looks like Tina Yothers from Family Ties’. Er, I’d rather look like the other one Justine Bateman.
-
Agree with CandyKay
-
I TOTALLY agree - I used to have a subscription to RS but when Britney did her first underage/softcore porn fantasy with David LaChapelle photographing and Mom and manager approving it at 17, I decided that they sucked ass and stopped my subscription. Now, there’s no one that even comes close to writing anything culturally relevant, tantalizingly subversive or fantastically humorous. It’s all a bunch of crap, IMHO.

Courtney has good face days and bad face days.She looks like they pulled a little too much on her inner ponytail.She was never a beauty…but interesting…………
-
Stopped subscribing to Ms magazine because of their man-hating politics.
-
She’s only 15, how in the hell did she get to be an intern for Rolling Stone?! Oh yeah, nepotism is alive and well in the U.S. isn’t it?!
-
With a mother like that how else should this poor child act? As far as being a brat, hey she is probably just being 15. At home she probably has to be the Mommy to herself and to Courtney.
-
Well I wouldnt be surprised if she is a total brat - children learn by example dont they? What a legacy she’s been left to live up to…. the ultimate 90’s icon and the total nutcase….
-
She interviews well, very articulate and sharp for a 15 year old. It’s an intern position, not editing the damn thing. Of course children of icons get a break there. I don’t understand the surprise at this, it’s a Jann Wenner flagship zine and he probably loves Courtney and has known Frances since birth.
-
She is borrowing her mother’s ‘brat crown’….
and yes!!! tina yothers!! i KNEW she reminded me of someone!
-
Has Frances had a boob job?? The contours look oddly solid, very high up. I certainly hope it’s just caused by taping them.
-
Look! The drunky didn’t post on this thread either. I still like drunky anyway.
Frances looks just like her dad. That’s a good thing. I have no problem w/looking at her. Rumer Willis…now that’s a problem.
-
Courtneys nose has been walloped hard. It´s crooked. Frances is a little strange looking, she doesn´t look like her mother at all. I think she may have had a boob job though. I hope the girl has the sense to side step her parents potholes.
-
o she looks exactly like kurt
-
she is a mother before giving birth like all children of addicts. Frances will suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome, like a war veteran, after she detaches from her crackhead mom.
It doesn’t matter what kind of plastic surgery Courtney Love gets; she is still not an attractive woman and the heroin look will never leave her face…
guess it’s best never to try heroin lest you be left with that bloated waxy look

Yeah only reason I asked was that ‘it’...
15 is very young to be an intern. She’s not old enough to drive, maybe that’s why she doesn’t have to get coffee.
