Frances Bean Cobain is Nobody's Daughter.


It has recently been revealed that the 17 year-old Frances Bean Cobain asked to be removed from her mother Courtney Love's care after claims that she had stolen from Frances' trust fund, left for her by her late father Kurt Cobain.
Despite all the shit I've heard about Love being a shoddy mother, I can't help but feel sorry for her this Mother's Day. We've heard that she's shot up in the presence of her young child and hired a handful of nannies to raise her... apparently, she hasn't been much of a mother at all.
Not only has she lost custody of her only child, but the court have also slapped a restraining order on her, restricting her from seeing her daughter. Cobain has been seen parading around with new boyfriend Isaiah Silva, most recently at California's Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival.
Instead of spending Mother's Day with her daughter, Courtney Love discussed her new album art and the "tortured souls" of artists alike on The Jools Holland Show last night.
She has also taken to Twitter to express her love for Frances in a series of notoriously misspelled status updates.
I was often on Frances' side when it came to Love vs. Cobain - being the whackjob that Courtney is - but I can't help but feel real and complete empathy for Courtney as she fights through times like these.
I don't think even Courtney Love would steal from her own child's funds. Her child has already been denied enough.

Has Courtney Love made England her new home?

I don't know if anybody else has noticed recently, but Courtney Love seems to have been spending a lot of time in the glamourous hang-outs of London in the past month or so.
She's also adopted Britain's best-kept-secret Micko Larkin alongside others to form a new, re-vamped Hole.
So why has Courtney ditched her native land for England? Maybe it's something to do with her all-new celebrity entourage, including Pixie Geldof, Noel Fielding and of course, Mr. Larkin.
It's looking likely that Britain is her new preference. In a 2008 interview, Courtney gushes over "eccentric-friendly" England:
"I am fed up with Los Angeles. It's dirty and full of crazy people. I want a complete lifestyle change. People criticise Britain but it is still a cleaner, safer place to live than Hollywood."
I wonder what Frances Bean Cobain thinks of the move? It is likely that she is staying right where she is, with full-custody now given to the late Kurt Cobain's mother and sister. How is Courtney going to cope without her?
All that partying with her new British friends, I'm guessing.
