Frances Bean Cobain at her Suicidal 16 Birthday Party

Frances Bean Cobain, daughter and only child of arguably the most influential musician of the 90’s and Nirvana frontman – Kurt Cobain celebrated her 16th birthday and had it suicide themed. I’m certainly not the one to judge, plus Frances certainly turned out to be a beautiful young woman, but didn’t her dad die by committing a suicide? Tasteless? Maybe she just didn’t realize. It’s all good, she’s 16, we do stupid things when we’re 16.

Frances Bean Cobain’s “Suicidal 16” birthday party took place at the House of Blues in Los Angeles featuring Mindless Self Indulgence and Frances particularly requested that everyone attending listens to them prior to joining the party. She said in her invitation that everyone will be “forced to jump around and dance.” That’s my kind of girl.

The contest was held for the most suicidal look and three prizes were given to the deadliest of deadlies. According to reports, the Suicidal 16 party cost Frances’ mother – Courtney Love over $323,000. Courtney Love is said to be broke. Who knows, maybe she had sponsors.

I love the birthday cake. It looks like an old graveyard entrance with sign reading “RIP Childhood”. That is so Addams Family of her. Nicely done.

Frances Bean Cobain certainly grew up. I remember when she was born and whoopieee, all of a sudden we have a teenager who throws suicide themed parties. She grew into a beautiful girl and the dark hair with bright red lips really suit her well. She’s gonna be a dish when she turns 18.

Congratulations to your 16th birthday, Frances Bean Cobain.

Courtney Love Settled a Lawsuit

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Courtney LoveCourtney Love has settled a lawsuit brought against her by the attorneys who represented her in legal battles with the surviving members of Nirvana. Katherine Hendricks and O. Yale Lewis claimed that Courtney Love owed them more than $340,000, plus interest, for their work on a 2002 suit that Courtney Love filed against Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl. Courtney Love, controller of the share of Nirvana’s business that had belonged to her late husband, Kurt Cobain, allegedly did not fully pay her lawyers, even though she eventually earned at least $9 million as a result of that suit. Courtney Love settled with Hendricks and Lewis for an undisclosed sum, and the settlement went into effect on September 17. According to court records, Courtney Love paid the Seattle attorneys more than $1 million for their work on the Nirvana suit, but they claim she still owed them $341,000, plus as much as $200,000 in interest.
