We’re not saying Frances Bean Cobain is slow, but she’s taken 17 full years to do something most people would in a second.
She’s ditched Courtney Love. And she means it too – yesterday Courtney Love lost legal control of Frances Bean in a Los Angeles court; with legal, medical and financial authority being handed over to Kurt Cobain‘s mother and younger sister.
Nobody knows the exact reason for this sudden turn of events, but it’s important to remember that Courtney Love has apparently been clean for several years. This ruling doesn’t mean that she’s an unfit mother. It could just be that she’s a bit on an unbearable twat. Who knows?
How did you rebel against your parents as a teenager? Did you grow your hair? Frances Bean Cobain couldn’t grow her hair, because her dad already did that. Did you mope around in ill-fitting clothes being sad for no particular reason? Frances Bean’s dad had already done that too. Did you write a bunch of middling six-form poetry? He did that as well. It doesn’t matter how far down the line of youthful rebellion you go – even all the way down to literally shooting yourself in the actual face – because Kurt Cobain has already done it. Frances Bean is screwed.
Or is she? It seems as if Frances Bean Cobain has finally struck upon the only way left for her to rebel against her parents – she’s legally prevented Courtney Love from being her guardian. People reports:
Courtney Love is losing control. But this time it involves her most precious possession: her daughter.? A Los Angeles court has appointed temporary guardians over Frances Bean, 17, although the reasons are not immediately clear. Kurt Cobain’s mother, Wendy O’Connor and his younger sister, Kimberly, now have legal, medical and financial authority over the teenager.
To be fair, though, even that doesn’t qualify as Frances Bean rebelling against her mother – it seems more like common sense. We don’t know what Wendy O’Connor will be like as guardian, but that doesn’t matter – so long as she manages to refrain from embarking on berserk Twitter rampages against computer games or whining incomprehensibly in public about online dating or literally kissing Pete Doherty on the mouth, she’ll probably have the edge over Courtney Love in terms of parental suitability. You know, even though her son ended up killing himself.
Again, though, we shouldn’t assume that Courtney Love lost legal control of Frances Bean because she’s an unfit mother. It might just be that Frances Bean wants to spend more time with her grandmother, or that Courtney Love is planning a long out-of-state visit. There are hundreds of different possibilities. Maybe Frances Bean likes having a shrieking, unpredictable, often-naked middle-aged mother with a face that’s been surgically augmented to look like a bulging cyst. Who are we to judge?

This has to be one the lowest class things I’ve ever read. Get a real job.

Seriously, who comes on this website and expects hard hitting, sensible, high-brow news?
I think it may be you who needs to get a life, Victor Jones.

Comments such as the previous poster’s “get a real job” always make me laugh. As it was posted at 11.15 A.M on a tuesday, I assume you’re either unemployed, or at work. Either way, what the fuck does that say about YOUR attitude to work?
Lol.

this is very rude to courtney, she worked hard to clean herself up and try to be a good mother, if you look at recent videos of her, she looks great! at least you gave some true info in here like who frances is staying with now and stuff, thats the only reason why its not completely terrible. next time you write, remember this, even celebrities have feelings.
