Frances Bean Cobain: Rolling Stone's Summer Intern

Spawn of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, Frances Bean, has taken an internship for the summer at Rolling Stone -- the magazine that once commemorated her father's death with a tribute issue. Earlier this year she told Harper's Bazaar that her career aspirations involved photography and journalism, while hinting at the upcoming internship at the rock rag. The NY Post reports via some "insiders" that "she doesn't get coffee for anyone . . . calls in sick all the time and wears funny outfits." A Rolling Stone rep, however, assures all gossip-mongers that their rock star royalty is "a great girl, and we're thrilled to have her." Besides, she's only 15-years-old and already works full-time keeping her mother's train wreck from derailing past the point of no return.

Actually, the age of consent in NY is 17. In NJ it's 16. You pervs all assume it's 18. And what difference does it make anyway.

Two years and 27 days till she's legal.

I thought that was Miley Cyrus.

She doesn't look like her mother. Luckily for her.

With Courtney Love as a mother, she's lucky to be alive at 15, let alone interning somewhere. She should have been eaten by wolves by now. Or at least been to rehab six times.

why shouldn't frances fetch coffee? what has she done to prove herself a worthy journalist (at 15, no less) other than ride her parents' fame? oh, right, nothing.
