Courtney Love may have deleted her garbage-filled Twitter account, but she’s still on Facebook trying to vent her crazy on the world. Love wrote about recently losing custody of her 17 year-old daughter, Frances Bean, to the mother and sister of her late husband, Kurt Cobain. According to Courtney it’s all about Frances wanting to have access to her inheritance, at least I think that’s what she means. It’s always hard to tell with her:

She writes, “I hate to sound cold but any kid of mine who pulls this s— has lost her position… she was deceptive, she lied and she’s lying to herself… My
daughter is not always honest.”

Love also insists her daughter isn’t as rich as she thinks she is: “The fact is fbc [Frances Bean Cobain] is deluded. She thinks she has all this money. The point is I have all the money she has.

“Frances is clearly deluded that she can buy her grandmother a small house in la [Los Angeles]. I’d love to see how that works. They’ll incubate her (sic) til shes 18 and then have her sign all the (sic) indnemofications.

“Don’t worry, Frances is a wonderful kid, she’s got bad people around her and wants it both ways. You could’ve asked for emancipation… you realise this will put you in juvenile family circus three times in your little life? I love you and always will unconditionally.”

So it’s Frances who is being deceptive because she wants access to her inheritance, which her mom says she’s never going to hand over. According to Bill Zwecker in the Chicago Sun Times, Courtney is dipping into her daughter’s money to buy drugs and that’s only part of the reason that Frances is bailing. There’s also the whole “mom is bombed out of her mind” issue.

My sources tell me the request for the change in custody actually was initiated by Frances Bean herself, who turns 18 in August.

According to documents originally revealed by TMZ, custody of Cobain has been handed over to her grandmother and Kurt Cobain’s mother, Wendy O’Connor, and her aunt and his sister, Kimberly Dawn Cobain.

Along with recent behavior ”even more crazy and erratic than usual,” there reportedly were significant, unexplained discrepancies in various accounts Love handled on behalf of her daughter — heir to an enormous fortune due in large part to ongoing Nirvana royalties. The fact that many of the checks were made out to “cash” added to speculation that Love used the funds to purchase drugs.

”For example, Courtney would suddenly bolt from a conversation, run outside — sometimes barely dressed — and jump in her car and drive away,” a longtime, long-suffering friend and former business associate of Love’s told me Tuesday.

Another source stressed that there are signs Love — who long has battled drug and alcohol addiction problems — recently was taking large amounts of prescription drugs ”like Xanax and Vicodin . . . enough to kill a horse.”

[From The Chicago Sun Times]

Remember when Courtney claimed last year that a crime syndicate had lifted $72 million from her accounts by stealing her late husband’s identity? That could have happened, but it’s just as likely that she somehow squandered, misplaced or miscalculated a massive fortune. Good for Frances for getting out when she had a chance. I hope that her money is kept far away from her drug-addicted mom. Time will tell whether Frances handles her finances better. Bad things can happen when 18 year-old kids suddenly have millions of dollars in the bank. Buying grandma a small house usually isn’t one of them, though.

Troubled rocker Courtney Love has lost custody of her 17-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. The order came down last Friday, with a family court judge citing increasingly erratic behavior by Love. The court appointed Frances’ grandmother, Wendy O’Connor, mother of late Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, and Kimberly Cobain, Kurt’s sister, as the teen’s new legal guardians.

Courtney Love no longer has legal control of her daughter. TMZ has learned a legal guardian has been appointed to care for 17-year-old Frances Bean Cobain.
Guardianships of this nature are frequently established when the parent is not capable of taking care of their children.

The guardians appointed by the court are Wendy O’Connor, Kurt Cobain’s mom, and Kimberly Dawn Cobain, Kurt’s sister.

The guardianship was established on Friday. Courtney Love was not in court.

The guardianship is for both Frances Bean personally and her financial well-being.

The guardians do not have power over the trust established after Kurt Cobain’s death.

The guardianship was established after a fairly long period of unstable conduct by Courtney Love. The court proceedings, however, are sealed.

[From TMZ]

Love previously lost custody of Frances back in 2003, when she was only 11 years old. In that case, Frances was taken away after it was revealed that she was in the home during one of Courtney Love’s drug overdoses – in fact, Frances was the one who called 911. It took Love 15 months to clean up her act and get custody returned to her. Sources say that once Courtney regained custody of Frances, the girl saw little of her father’s family and was “bothered” by some of her mom’s antics. More recently, Courtney has been ranting online about her belief that Britney Spears was molested by her father, as well as accusing her ex-boyfriend Ed Norton of mishandling Kim Cobain’s property. Not sure how her recent behavior is any less insane than usual, but there must be more to it than some badly misspelled Tweets, or the court wouldn’t be getting involved.

The only good news is that in a year, Frances will be a legal adult, and hopefully she will be far away from her mom’s whacko influence.

Frances Bean Cobain, 17, the daughter of tragic rock icon Kurt Cobain and crazy trainwreck Courtney Love, has penned an “open letter” to Ali Lohan using a utility that lets you write long blog entries and then re-posts them in the right length segments to your Twitter account. It’s called Twerbose, and what is the point of that? Twitter is for status updates and brief musings. Write a blog entry on your Facebook account if you want all your friends to see it.

Frances has since deleted what is claimed to be her Twitter account, but her original very long tweet remains up on Twerbose. Frances’ entry makes much more sense than her mother’s Internet ramblings, but you can see that she sadly takes after her. She has this kind of pseudo-intellectual style riddled with grammatical errors and full of grand pronouncements about the nature of fame and artistic integrity.

Your not entitled to anything simply because your sister has a recognizable name. Your idea of fame isn’t fame. It’s infamy. You want to be famous? Work your ass off and make decisions that could potentially catapult your career into a lasting one. Notariety for who you are and notaritey for the work you produce are two completely differnt things. I understand that you have been brought up in an envirtoment where the idea of fame is easily achievable but, that’s not an excuse. You lack the talent, social understanding and credibility to be anything other then infamous. Your careere choices, thus far, will transcend a future career as someone who attempted to be famous, but never quite achieved it. And if you do, it will be the formality of fame that puts you on the covers of tabloids, while the public idly watches you plumit into the murky abyss shared with the likes of Spencer Pratt & Jon Gosslin who, i’m sure, will steal your money whilst there. Fortunately for the world, there are people who have and don’t have recognizable names, who have obtained artistic integrity and will one day, hopefully, bring that tangible artisticness into light again. Though, its hard to think thats achievable when people like You ali lohan are rendering the world of true talent by attempting to make your entitled ass noticed. How is this fair to the people who HAVE artistic integrity, or a mind? How is it fair to those who truly have something to offer the human race other then a dwindling last name and a few shitty films, both of which, solidified the idea that your just a celebrities sibling. I recognize that i might come across as harsh and no, i don’t personally know you, but its the actions that you take, that speak for you. You blatently don’t care how your recognized, its the objective to get famous and that is what makes you replaceable and a recycled idea .Well, im ashamed to have to be grouped into the same category of person as you. I would rather die a most painful death the be assoicated with the kind of careere your trying to make for your self. I hope i’m wrong because generally i’m not a very judgmental person, but in the case of you, that is MY entitlement.

[From Frances Bean Cobain's Twerbose account via Gossip Rocks, ONTD]

I would assume that Frances had some run-in with Ali that’s causing her to flip out, but she writes that she doesn’t “personally know you but its the actions that you take, that speak for you.” Frances and Ali are both in NY – I found photos of Frances and Ali out shopping in lower Manhattan on the same day, 8/19/09, so it’s possible that the paps were following Ali and Lindsay in that area and that’s how they honed in on Frances. She could be annoyed that they were following her due to Ali and Lindsay, but that was weeks ago.

What is Frances rallying against exactly, Ali Lohan or a culture that tries to pigeonhole her into a stereotypical type of fame? Don’t hate the player, hate the game. You would think these two would have something to bond over, what with both having erratic, publicly embarrassing family members addicted to prescription drugs. Frances was rumored to have been offered the role of Alice in the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland film, but is said to have passed in favor of going to college. She should take a few English classes, that’s for sure.

The crazy train that is Courtney Love just keeps rolling on. This time, the former Hole frontwoman is trying to hook up her 16-year-old daughter, Frances, with “Twilight” heart-throb Robert Pattinson, 22. Hopefully, she’s letting her agents do the talking and not trying to speak with him directly – or worse, write him an incoherent, horribly spelled note. Run, Robert! Run!

Singer Courtney Love has a passion for all things British.

She’s still looking for her dream home in England, and now I’m told she’s on the hunt for a perfect English gentleman…for her daughter Frances Bean.

Former wild child Courtney, who wants 16-year-old Frances educated in England, has told friends she is keen to set her up with Robert Pattinson, the 22-year-old star of the hit new vampire movie Twilight.

France is said to have fallen for London-born Robert and mum is playing matchmaker.

‘Courtney thinks he’s charming and handsome and absolutely has to be Frances’s first date,’ says a source.

‘She’s doing everything she can to engineer another meeting.’

[From The Daily Mail]

I’m still in shock that little Frances is 16 years old. I still remember seeing her now deceased father bouncing her as a baby on his knee… just before instigating a fight with Axl Rose backstage at the MTV VMAs. Ah, the good old days. I guess the only redeeming quality about having Courtney Love as your mother is that she is famous and well connected enough to maybe land you a date with your dream boy. But on the flip side, your mom is Courtney Love, and no publicity stunt date with the new “it” boy is going to take that kind of pain away. And the worst part is, insanity is hereditary. And I also have to wonder – will Robert Pattinson really be interested in a 16 year old girl – even if she’s Kurt Cobain’s kid?

Photo from Frances Bean Cobain’s 16th party found on her myspace, which has since been removed
Last week we ran a story about Frances Bean Cobain’s “suicide-themed” 16th birthday party. Frances is the daughter of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, the former lead singer of Nirvana who died in an apparent suicide in 1994. I was contacted by a woman who claims to be an online friend of Frances, but who hasn’t spoken to her in some time. She provided photos and enough background to make her story seem credible. She said she has another friend who knows Kurt Cobain’s family and that they’re very interested in the news about the “suicide” party, as this is the first they’ve heard about it. Family members were said to be looking for more evidence of the party, but the photo album has since been removed from the myspace where it was found. According to the source, Frances has been cut off from most of her father’s side of the family, including her 80 year-old great grandfather, Leland, for years.

Frances is barred from contacting most of Kurt’s family
Courtney Love lost custody of her then 11 year-old daughter Frances from late 2003 to February, 2005, when she was going through problems with drugs and the law. Frances was with Kurt’s mom, Wendy O’Connor, at that time. Courtney eventually regained custody of Frances after she went to rehab, but is said to have cut Frances off from her father’s side of the family except for Kurt’s mother and his sister. It’s unknown how long it’s been since Frances has seen them, though. The source said “After Courtney won custody back, she completely shut out the entire family from seeing Frances except for Kurt’s mother Wendy and his sister Kim. ”

The source explained how she met Frances online and how she came to know friends of the family. She said that Frances was just looking for people online to talk with and that “A lot of people thought it was someone pretending to be Frances, but when she started posting polaroids of herself and friends and then on Courtney’s page you see Courtney’s polaroids with her band members and you can see that it was really Frances.”

On Frances’ feelings about rumors that her father was murdered by her mother
The source went on to say that Frances is very troubled by suggestions that her mother may have had a hand in her late father’s death, and that she was particularly bothered by a photo Courtney shot with famed photo artist Dave LaChappelle that featured her holding a dying Kurt lookalike with a baby at her feet. The photo was published in September, 2006 on the cover of a coffee table book by LaChappelle, “Heaven to Hell.”

The source explained, “She used to get a lot of hateful IM’s and it really upset her when people would talk to her about her Mom possibly having to do with her Dad’s death. She never really said anything about how she felt about his death or about not seeing her family, but you could tell from the poems she wrote and some of the things she said that she definitely has an empty spot in her soul because of her Dad not being here.”

Frances’ online friend gave me a few of the old myspace and other community website addresses she used to use but said that she vanished around September, 2006, which coincidentally was right around the time that photo of Courtney with the dying Kurt lookalike was published. (This is a conclusion I jumped to, and was not suggested by the source.) There are still accounts on the websites she provided, but they’re private and apparently Frances hasn’t used them. Her friend says that Courtney routinely used to take away Frances’ online accounts, which doesn’t seem that odd considering that she was just 14 at the time.

Hopefully Frances is getting back on her feet now that a couple years have passed. Maybe the suicide-themed party was a way for her to close the book on the pain she was carrying over the loss of her father. She did put “RIP Childhood,” on the cake and perhaps she was trying to gain some ownership and control of her father’s death and its effect on her future. Her mother is not doing her any favors by continuing to cut her off from most of Kurt’s family and reminding her of his death like this.

I vividly remember the day the news came out that Kurt Cobain was dead in an apparent suicide, April 5, 1994. I was in college at the time and ended up glued to the radio most of the day, waiting for more news about it. At first they didn’t confirm that it was Cobain’s body which was found, and we were hoping it was just a mistake and was someone else. It was indeed Cobain and the troubled lead singer of the band that popularized grunge music was dead at 27 like other music greats before him. I remember the party I went to that night, in which Nirvana was blasting, and the friends I talked to, drunkenly discussing what it all meant in our young lives.

14 years later and Cobain’s only child, Frances Bean, made the questionable decision to celebrate her 16th birthday with a “suicide” themed party at the House of Blues in LA in which a contest was held for guests that looked the most “dead.” The party featured the band “Mindless Self Indulgence” and cost her supposedly broke mother $323,000.

Courtney Love spent over $323,000 on her daughter’s birthday party.

The Hole singer – who is the widow of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – spared no expense in ushering Frances Bean into adulthood at her ‘RIP childhood’ themed 16th birthday.

The event was held at Los Angeles’ House of Blues restaurant. Courtney arrived in a dress worn by actress Angelica Huston in creepy comedy movie ‘The Addams Family’.

Frances’ announcement of the party:

Frances is 16 and we all did stupid things at that age. She might not fully realize or care that some might consider it tasteless to have a suicide-themed “death of childhood” party, even without a dad who supposedly died by his own volition. It would have been up to her prescription drug-addled mom, Courtney Love, to tell her that it was inappropriate. We all know that never would have happened and Frances got her suicide-themed party. Maybe in a way she was triumphing over a troubled past – or just being a teenager who doesn’t give a sh*t and thinks death is a style to embrace and a long way off.

Frances looks very pretty with black hair and red lips. She should smile more.

Photos from Frances Cobain’s MySpace

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.”

[From NY Post]

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?

Love and Corgan in 2006
I can’t help but be addicted to Courtney Love’s myspace blog, even though I can barely understand it. Since she claims her alternate personality Cherry Kookoo is blogging for her now and aliens are trying to steal her money and dogs live in her socks, she skipped the myspace this week and sent a message to Billy Corgan through Perez Hilton’s website. Because she can’t be bothered to find Billy’s number or can’t work out how to dial a phone.

In the missive written entirely in CAPS she rants that Billy Corgan needs to come to her daughter’s sweet 16 birthday party, or her ninth birthday party, or marry Gerard Way and skip their honeymoon to come to her daughter’s birthday party. I’m not quite sure which.

corgan

im at work and too tired to find you or geta number you havent sent me out of whatever misguided shame thing your going through thats a private comnversation however YOU DO NOT MAKE CHILDREN CRY.

GEARRD WAY WHO WOULD DO IT IN FIVE SECONDS AND HAS EVEN ASKED AND BEGGED EVEN FOR HIS BANDMATE TO NOT HAVE HIS HONEY MOON THAT TIME MADE SURE TO PROMISE TO BE THERE A SWEET SIXTEEN IS A BIG EVENT I THINK SHE L;OOKED UPON YOU AS FAMILY , I KNOW SHE DID AS TRUSTWORTHY AND WISE AND YOU CANT LAY THAT BIG MAN SHIT ON A CHIDL OF 9 AND OF FORTY -MY CHLILD SOBBING DUE TO YOU IS UNACCEPTABLE, I HATE STATIBNG THIS ON SOME RANDOM PUBLIC FORUM BUT THE LINE IS THE KID MAN, THE LINE IS THE KID, AND SHE DOESNT GET TO SHED TEARS OVER YOU, HER FAMILY ALREADY HAS DONE THAT DO FROPM NOW ON AND TRUST ME SHE WONT EVER CALL YOU AGAIN, YOU CAN SPEAK TO ME IF SPEAKMING TO MY FAMILY AND ILL PASS IT ON.

COURT

Perez Hilton: there is a translation on this site also, that makes about as much sense as the original.

I think what she’s trying to say, and I’ve now started drinking and squinting to help me work it out, is that her 14-year-old daughter is planning a birthday party for her 16th birthday. Which is kind of strange because Frances Bean is 15 years old. Courtney thinks that Billy Corgan is a man of 40 years (or 49 years?) who should know that the Love-Cobain family think of him as family, and that Frances cried because he won’t be there. Even though, like every other emo teen on the planet, she has replaced the angsty musings of Smashing Pumpkins with the angsty musings of My Chemical Romance.

I think if I was a 40-year-old man I’d skip out on the emo 16-year-old birthday party, and if Courtney Love started referring to me as her family, I’d fly to Fiji and hide out for a while. Would you like to join the Love-Cobain family? Those are some powerful genetics.

Note by Celebitchy: Love and Corgan used to live together about two years ago and were reportedly engaged before that. Her rep claimed they weren’t together at the time and were living in separate wings of her house.

Courtney Love seems to have a real problem with following basic rules. In fact she seems like she’s still an obstinate little kid: if someone makes a rule, she’s got to break it. Love was recently banned from a Virgin Atlantic flight after she was caught flouting one of the most basic of airline rules: no smoking.

Courtney Love was banned from travelling on a flight after she was caught openly flouting U.S anti-smoking laws by having a cigarette in airport departure lounge. The star was due to fly to London from Los Angeles on Monday (07Apr08) to attend a gig organised by charity the Teenage Cancer Trust, but was refused boarding after she was discovered smoking in the departure lounge.

She says, “I had a fag in the first class lounge, like two hits, and they wouldn’t let me on the plane with my daughter (Frances Bean, 15). They made some big thing like I’m a f**king terrorist or something. It was embarrassing.” A spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic confirmed Love was allowed to fly to London the following evening (08Apr08) and has not been blacklisted by the company.

[From Contact Music]

Frankly I think Love is pretty lucky that she wasn’t blacklisted from Virgin Atlantic. Airlines are pretty strict these days. She would have done herself a lot more good if she’d apologized or in some way acknowledged that what she’d done was wrong. Instead she made it sound like it was all the airline’s fault for overreacting. They seem to have pretty strict rules about lighting up, and if Virgin Atlantic had given Love a pass, it would have caused a lot of people to say they were showing favoritism.

The fact that Love expected to be able to break the rules everyone else has to follow – and then go on her merry way – doesn’t speak highly of her. If she’s really embarrassed, it should be by her own behavior, not the airline’s response.

Courtney must have gone right back to London after her gig, because here she is leaving the Groucho private members club in London, at 3am, hiding her face under a bowler hat yesterday. WENN reports that the bag in the photo was full of pills that Courtney Love took out of her purse after leaving the Groucho Club. Images thanks to WENN.

It seems like it’s pretty important for Courtney Love to think she’s a good mom. I guess that’s probably important for most parents… but with Courtney, you somehow get the impression that what’s most important is for her to feel like a good mom, rather than actually being a good mom. Those are the parents that tend to give in and try to be cool and be their kid’s friend, rather than being a good parent, which involves… you know, discipline and not being cool and stuff. Courtney recently talked about how proud she was of herself in letting 15-year-old Frances Bean go to the movies with a friend (one of Sting’s daughters) without parents or bodyguards. 15 sounds very age-appropriate, though a bodyguard is probably a good idea when you have a pretty famous mom and someone who’s often regarded as a legend for a dad. But Courtney was all proud of herself and Frances, commenting that she wanted to get a cake to mark the occasion. The only problem was that Love didn’t think the evening’s events through, and never asked what movie the girls were going to see. Turns out, it was a movie about suicide. Probably not a great film for Kurt Cobain’s daughter.

She may be known for her wild antics and trouble with the law but Courtney Love is trying her best for daughter Frances Bean. Love, 43, says in a new U.K. magazine interview that she recently let 15-year-old Franny (as she calls her) go out alone with a daughter of rocker Sting – only to find out it was to see a film about suicide.

“I wanted to show [her] that she could go out in London without a nanny or bodyguard, so they went by themselves. I wanted to get her a cake because it is the first time she has gone anywhere on her own,” she tells the Sunday Telegraph’s Stella magazine.

Love, however, hadn’t thought about the movie they were going to see – Control, the biopic about Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, who committed suicide. “She came back so disturbed, because I forgot what the movie was about,” she says – before crying at the memory.

[From People]

I guess it’s probably good that Love was at least upset with herself. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have her – and only her – as your parent. She’s got major drug issues to say the least. I’d think being the child of someone who’s famous and deceased would be really challenging as it is. Adding such a chaotic remaining parent must really warp your perception of normalcy.
