Pretty girl (yes, she's 13 and that is both creepy and weird, but it's true...)

Yes she does look like him, and yes she's very pretty. I can't help but feel unbelievably bad for the poor girl.

Is it categorically impossible for CL to take a decent picture these days?

He does seem like he'd be a really cool and actually responsible dad.

I get that sense too.

(A side note: My uncle used to live next door to Dave Grohl's mom's house. Once he took my little brother and knocked on the door. Dave answered and was extremely nice and chatted for a while. So my brother's copy of Nevermind has contained a little slip of paper with Dave Grohl's autograph since 1992. A great guy by all accounts.)

"AJA"

Dave Grohl is awesome; he gave a friend of mine money for a phone call from the 9:30 club or the Black Cat or something in like 1998. She asked "Hey Dave Grohl, do you have a quarter?"

Apparently he boned the most gash though.

I love stories about celebrities: "He's so awesome! He gave me a quarter! I mean, a QUARTER, I ask you. Then later I bumped into him in the hallway but he said EXCUSE ME, he is SUCH a great guy."

frances looks so much like the picture of young courtney that's on the back of live through this.

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 8 September 2005 19:40 (twenty years ago)

I think I've mentioned this before, but my friend Kerry, when he was 13, was trying to buy an ice cream cone in Washington, D.C., when he realized he didn't have enough money. A man behind him tapped him on the shoulder and gave him 50 cents or however much it was he needed. It wasn't until after he left that he realized that man was Jesse Jackson.

Or rather Jody.

No, I do see it. In that first photo at the top of the thread, I can picture Kurt making the same facial expression.

It's the blue eyes. Facially, yes, she does look more like her mother. But she does look like Kurdt...

― PB, Thursday, 8 September 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

i think she totally looks like him. its her mouth and shape of her face - wide with a pointy chin.

i think if frances goes to college and generally stays out of the spotlight for a while, she could avoid the liza minelli syndrome.

Oh wow, that picture of the Live Through This track listing suddenly refreshed my memory of the album. That thing had a bunch of great songs, didn't it? With Kurt's touch evident on every other chord change, of course.

jesus Courtney, just shut up. Why do all of that on Twitter. And is she trying to market the story that she wants told, or is this just she's out of it and doesn't care what forum she blarps out all this weird crap. I don't get her. I never have.
Those tweets break my heart. All that kid has ever needed is a parent. I hope there's someone in her life that is giving her some kind of unselfish care and guidance.

I don't normally get wrapped up in tabloidy crap but this one just kind of hits me where I live for some reason.

― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 20 August 2010 16:51 (fifteen years ago)

it's difficult to market the story you want told when the story you want told is totally incomprehensible. like I literally have no idea what she's trying to say.

seven months pass...

The reclusive daughter of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain just released a rare public statement defending herself and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl against rumors of sexual involvement.

Love started the rumor earlier this week when she published several Tweets accusing Grohl, formerly the drummer in Nirvana, of hitting on her estranged daughter Frances Bean Cobain. Grohl, who knew Cobain when she was an infant, called the accusation “upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue.”

Love lashed back in an interview with the New York Daily News, saying she’s “certainly not going to retract anything.”

Then Cobain, 19, reminded us all what it must be like to have Love for a mom.

Her statement, released by Grohl’s publicist to Gawker, called the rumor “gross:”

While I’m generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn. I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way. I’m in a monogamous relationship and very happy.

Twitter should ban my mother.

- Good for her! That girl deserves happiness.
- It's a little weird her fiance looks like Kurt, but it's cool.
- I'm glad Courtney Love wasn't invited.
- I kind of feel bad for Courtney, but I get it.
