Courtney Love Attacks Daughter Frances Bean & Begs Her To Come Home For Her 18th Birthday

Some moms say “happy birthday” with a card. Courtney Love, however, has chosen to celebrate daughter Frances Bean Cobain‘s 18th birthday (which was Aug. 18) with an incoherent rant on Twitter. “Youve done a dammed good job frances of destroying anything i could build that is positive,” Courtney, 46, tweeted at her daughter Aug. 19. “why would you leave me and my life in tatters like this and get angrier and angrier to justify it, i feel you missing me and i miss you too.”
The lead singer of Hole continued on, begging her daughter — who has inherited her late father Kurt Cobain‘s massive fortune now that she’s turned 18 — to come home to her.
“just come home,” Courtney tweeted. “it took a year but i got the sickest townhouse in the village, theres 4 floors, just come home, i pray to god snap out of it. i love you little bean, but please stop this madness over so much more money than your little self can comprehend.”
For those of you unfamiliar with Courtney and Frances’ situation, allow me to bring you up to speed:

• Frances is the daughter of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in April 1994.
• Courtney had custody of Frances, until she lost it in Dec. 2009.
• The court placed Frances in the care of Kurt’s mom Wendy and sister Kimberly.
• Frances also got a restraining order against Courtney.

It’s a sad situation, for sure, but also a cautionary tale for all young moms in Hollywood. All the money in the world can’t make you a good parent. And once you’ve severed a relationship with your child, it’ll take some time for them to forgive you and come back.
So tell us, HollywoodLifers, does your heart go out to Courtney, or is this exactly the wake-up call she needs to clean up her act?

IS Frances Bean Cobain growing up to be as screwed up as her parents?

Frances Bean Cobain is clearly taking after her parents when it comes to a love of the arts: the 17-year-old daughter of deceased Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Hole singer Courtney Love has created her first art exhibit – and from the looks of her charcoal sketches, she’s going through some major internal drama!
We already knew that Frances has a majorly screwed up family history. She was just two years old when her dad committed suicide in 1994. Her mom hasn’t fared much better – after struggling with drug abuse for years, the now-46-year-old lost custody of Frances for two years back in 2003 after overdosing on painkillers and threatening to commit suicide. Francis finally won emancipation from Courtney in 2009.
After all that, it’s not a shocker that the poor girl – who’s showing her art at LA’s La Luz de Jesus gallery under the pseudonym Fiddle Tim – has got a dark side – just like mom and dad. From what we’ve seen, her drawings are totally disturbing, with contorted faces and expletive-heavy text like, “I don’t owe you s—t,” “Goat S—t,” and “Treat Me Like Your Mother or I’ll Eat the Sun.” And it gets even darker! On the website for Frances’s show, she says that Satan is one of her influences!
So what will become of Frances Bean? Is she headed for inevitable disaster – or is she just expressing herself through art?

Crazy Town, And Mayor Frances Bean

So I've been meaning to write a story about Frances Bean for a while. And now's the time.

I'll start with the most recent, and work back. First of all, she's been emancipated from her crackhead mother, Courtney Love. At first, it was all touchy-feely, like, maybe she would just rather live with her grandmother. But now there's all this talk about a restraining order against Courtney. She still controls Kurt Cobain's money. I mean, the money in a trust fund for Francis. Any she could get her hands on were inhaled, snorted and shot up years ago. Duuuh. But there are rumors that this is the first attempt to try and get Kurt's mother in control of the trust, and far away from Courtney's control.

In her usual style, she wrote some bullshit about it. It's totally illegible. But the idea is that she's pissed. She's hurt. She's mocking her daughter by using the word little all the time, like calling it her "little life" and calling her "kid" a lot. And. You know what? I can't translate it. It's stuff like this:

"she tweets normal bratty stuff NOW shes clueless and in some wierd isolation tank about what that nasty crews gone and done, they have appealed to proetct PROPERTY not her, granny wants a check thats all," - Courtney Love

Where sentences don't even end. I don't know how to talk about it. But basically she's pissed and hurt and that's how she responds. Um....really...mature? The point is she's pissed, and really not helping her case. I think this is the third time Frances Bean has been separated from her mother by the courts. I just remember one time, a long time ago where they were pulling them away, and Frances was yelling, "Mom, who will schedule the TiVo!". I really loved that. Good relationship. She wasn't too worried about who would tuck her in at night, just the TiVo. It's just really silly.

So there's one more separate issue I'd like to discuss. Please see below.
Ok, I went a little overboard on pictures. Sue me.

Anyways, there was this great little twitter post that Frances Bean put up, bashing Ali Lohan. It went like this:

"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 Youali 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," - Frances Bean Cobain

First of all, kudos on the spelling. The first thing I do when I make a self-righteous rant is check spelling and grammar. No way you look cool calling someone a "looser". It's kind of sad. Second thing I do is make sure I can stand by my words. I must live by what I say. When I say I want Britney Spears to go crazy again, I really, truly mean it. I believe it. I live by those words. It's really, really hard to believe Frances Bean can hate on Ali Lohan so publicly for being famous for a famous relative. Really? Do I have to explain it?
*Sigh*

Frances Bean is only famous for her dad, who killed himself when she was a wee baby. Her mother, Courtney Love is also only famous for the same reason. She's a has been, living off her dead husband's fame from the 90's. It's cool. I don't care. I applaud it. Girl's gotta eat, I understand. They just have to make fucking sure they're not a pot calling the kettle black. Which they are. You can't just go around ranting with words like "artisticness" and "abyss" and "thus" and expect us to be impressed. I mean, lets call it what it is: some pissy junior high shit.

She admits to not knowing Ali personally, just judging her from afar. She tells her to work hard to gain fame. Like, seriously, what the fuck has Frances Bean done to be famous? This is literally the first thing I've know her to do publicly. And its lame as shit. What kind of poetry is this, "I would rather die a most painful death the be associated with the kind of careere your trying to make for your self."? This is the kind of thing Frances Bean wants to be known for? This is how someone presents themselves as they're putting someone else down? Who associates a person with a careere?

Listen, I'm not defending Ali Lohan, I couldn't give a shit about her. But I do think that Frances Bean is a piece of shit now. I mean, hilarious, don't get me wrong. It's hilarious how crazy this all sounds. To be so harsh and judge someone you don't know, but also accuse them of doing everything you are known for. It's just really, really silly. But want to know what's most astounding? People are applauding FB for her rant! They say that aside from the spelling, it is a clear and well-formed argument. It's really hard, at times like this, to express my disappointment. I can't spend the time looking at every sentence separately, and then each of them together, and go through what's wrong with each other them. I could, but, would that help? There are people out there who thinks this kind of Internet twitter rant is a sign of "good character".

I mean. I'm just dumbfounded. How can I work with that? I mean, has anyone considered her motives? Someone who cares about the arts would shut the hell up and just churn out something meaningful herself. Someone who cares about the person would privately speak with them. Someone who cares about not looking like a pissy-ass teenager would realize they are literally painting a self portrait, and looking like an idiot at the same time. I mean, look at the situation: the only reason she has a voice louder than anyone else is her dead father and infamous mother made her feel so self-important that she is actually angry that someone else is using their famous family as a kickboard? It's hilarious. Did I mention yet that at 16 she landed an internship at Rolling Stone Magazine. Probably used a fake name so that wouldn't affect her chances of getting hired. I'm glad Frances Bean never used the word "entitled" as an insult against anyone else.

My favorite blog, Dlisted.com, put it best. I don't remember the exact quote, but the idea involved irony-poisoning from the whole thing. I might barf all over the flannel shirt tied around my waist.

Finally, is this a good time to mention that although he was hot, Kurt Cobain was kind of overrated?

Frances Bean Cobain Is All Grown Up! Check Out Her Tattoos in Gorgeous Modeling Shots!

Frances Bean Cobain,  the daughter of legendary grunge star Kurt Cobain and rocker Courtney Love, proves she’s all grown up in a recent photo shoot with acclaimed designer-turned-photographer Hedi Slimane!

Frances Bean Cobain has shed her childish image big time in a new photo shoot by French lensman and former Dior Hommes designer Hedi Slimane and she proves to be a very alluring young woman! Frances Bean, 19, is planning to follow in her parent’s footsteps in the music industry, and has even recorded backup vocals for Evelyn Evelyn.
Sadly, Frances Bean, an only child,  and her mother Courtney Love have had a very strained relationship, and Courtney even lost custody of Frances Bean in Dec 2009. Frances subsequently took out a restraining order against her mother. Isn’t this doubly sad considering that her father Kurt famously killed himself when she was just a year old?
We’re so glad to see how beautiful Frances Bean Cobain looks all grown up! What do you think of her new look?

Courtney Love Shows off Six New Tattoos in a Twitter Photoshoot

This isn’t the best way to prove yourself as a fit parent, Court!

Someone please tell Courtney Love that if she wants to get her daughter back, posing topless and unveiling several pieces of new body art to the word isn’t the best way to do it!
Less than one month after losing legal control of her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean, Courtney, 45, showed off several new flower tattoos that she got on her arms, breasts, chest and back area and documented the painful process with a series of photos that she posted on her Twitter page.
There’s still no official word on why Frances was placed under the guardianship of Wendy O’Connor and Kimberly Dawn Cobain — the mother and sister of her deceased rocker dad Kurt Cobain — but the alleged reason is that Courtney was too unstable to care for her child … and these photos definitely aren’t helping to dispel said reports.

Courtney Love, What Happened? How Did You Lose Control Of Your Own Daughter

Despondent doesn’t even cover how Courtney Love must feel at the moment. ‘Train-wreck’ might be the more appropriate term. The rehabbed Hole frontwoman officially lost legal control of 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean Cobain on Dec. 11, TMZ is reporting.
Wendy O’Connor, the mom of Frances’ deceased dad, rocker Kurt Cobain, and his sister, Kimberly Dawn Cobain, have been appointed guardians until she’s legal at 18.
The guardianship, which is said to protect Frances’ personal and financial well-being, is said to have come into play because Courtney has been allegedly unstable for quite some time.
How did it come to this, Court? You’ve been doing so well!
We know that you lost Frances once in 2003 after acting like a bunny boiler and trying to break into the home of her then boyfriend Jim Barber. But you got well! You went through rehab and got your girl back in January 2005, but then admitted to using again later that same year.
What’s happening, Courtney? If you need help, please get it and please don’t give up! You can’t lose your daughter without a fight.

Warning to K-Stew! R-Patz Might Be Ready To Kiss Scarlett Johansson Really Soon

Kristen Stewart said her Yellow Handkerchief co-star Eddie Redmayne was a better kisser than Rob! Should she be worried that he might prefer locking lips with the sultry ScarJo?

Uh-oh Kristen Stewart, watch out! Your BF, Robert Pattinson, is the frontrunner to play legendary Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain in movie about his life, and Scarlett Johansson is allegedly in talks to play Kurt’s leading lady, Courtney Love. ScarJo is a total femme fatale – we’d be worried if we were in your shoes!
Rob is desperately trying to get a hold of Courtney, Kurt’s real-life widow, in a bid to score the part. “Robert has been calling and emailing her non-stop. [Courtney] has been a bit wound up by his manners, but he is her number one choice to play Kurt,” reported The Sun April 9.
Courtney reportedly wants Scarlett, 25, to portray her in the David Fincher-directed film (which has the working title of All Apologies) – which would mean that Rob, 23, would have one majorly HOT co-star! But if R-Patz were to enjoy kissing his potential new leading lady, it might serve K-Stew right. Why? The 20-year-old DID say that she preferred kissing her Yellow Handkerchief co-star, Eddie Redmayne, to Rob! Ouch!
At the end of the day, we’re pretty sure Rob is still going to prefer Kristen to Scarlett. First of all, ScarJo is married to hottie Ryan Reynolds. Secondly, R-Patz and K-Stew have so much in common! After all, she already portrayed a rock icon on the big screen – Joan Jett in The Runaways. They’re already what we’d like to call ‘a musical match made in heaven.’ How could Scarlett possibly compete?
Do you think Kristen Stewart should be worried that her BF Robert Pattinson might enjoy kissing Scarlett Johansson a little TOO much?

Courtney Love to R-Patz: YOU as Kurt Cobain? ‘That’s Just Wrong’

If you were getting stoked to see Robert Pattinson play legendary Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, we’re sorry to let you down, but it isn’t going to happen. Kurt’s widow, Courtney Love, says that not only are the casting reports untrue, but is adamant that Rob would – well, SUCK – at the part.
“Isn’t that so stupid, who would cast [Rob]? That’s just wrong, no offense [to Pattinson],” Courtney told The Canadian Press April 13.
The 45-year-old former Hole singer says that she gets why ‘tweens’ love Rob, 23, but says he’s a completely wrong fit for the role. “I watched the Twilight stuff very, very recently and I get it, it resonates with the teenaged girl in me, I understand epic love of that nature; I write about it all the time. But isn’t [the thought of him playing Kurt] silly?” She added that her picks for the part would go to Ryan Gosling or

WE don’t think so! We think Rob is dark, sexy and brooding – a great fit to play the iconic rocker. Courtney, you’re out of your mind!
At least one person will be happy that the British hunk didn’t make the Kurt cut: girlfriend Kristen Stewart. We’re pretty sure K-Stew is over the moon that her man isn’t going to be swapping spit with screen goddess Scarlett Johansson!

Robert Pattinson Confirms He’s Not Playing Kurt Cobain

Courtney Love was so enraged by the reports that Robert Pattinson was being considered to play her deceased hubby Kurt Cobain that she called the situation “stupid” and “just wrong.” But now R-Patz is fighting back and calling Courtney on her own BS!
“I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much – I’d be embarrassed [to play Kurt Cobain],” the 24-year-old British hunk told UK’s The Mirror of playing the Nirvana frontman, who committed suicide in 1994. He admitted, “I didn’t get offered it. For one thing, I’m too tall, and I can’t sing like him, I’m nothing like him. It’s ridiculous.”
But although Rob admits he was wrong for the role, he’s pissed off that Courtney dissed him so hard in the press. “You see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying, ‘What the f*ck! He’s totally wrong for it’, and I’m like, ‘I f*cking said no, you d*ck!”
The 46-year-old former Hole singer was pretty brutal in her criticism of the Twilight star, telling The Canadian Press, “Isn’t that so stupid, who would cast [Rob]? That’s just wrong. But isn’t [the thought of him playing Kurt] silly?”
Good for you, Rob! Way to call Courtney on her rudeness! And for the record – we think you’d make an awesome Kurt Cobain…you’ve got the sexy, brooding, musician thing down pat!

Suri Cruise ‘Taken Aback’ By Tom Cruise’s Eyeliner & Painted Nails

Black eyeliner and black fingernails — all part of Tom’s role as Stacee Jaxx in the upcoming movie ’Rock of Ages’! However, his get-up totally confused his daughter Suri!

6-year-old Suri Cruise did not know what was coming for her when she walked on to her father Tom Cruise’s set!

Little Suri’s world was turned upside down by her father’s new glam role as singer Stacee Jaxx.
According to People, Tom said in an interview with RyanSeacrest, “When I had the eyeliner and the painted nails, [Suri] was a little taken aback by it. She was like, ‘What’s happening to my dad?”
Tom, 49, continued, “I joke with friends because she goes to [mom Katie Holmes’s] sets and there’s hair and makeup and they’re very nice.”
Yet usually when Suri comes to my set, “she’s got to wear a hard helmet. There are explosions going off. Dad is bloody. He’s bruised.”
Once on the set, said Tom, “she really likes the singing. And here I am with black nail polish and eyeliner. She kind of takes it all in. It’s cool.
