It would seem that Courtney Love has a private Twitter account (@cbabymichelle) reserved for things that should probably actually be reserved for a diary or personal phone call. Like this thing last night when she accused former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl of hitting on (and possibly sleeping with) Frances Bean, the daughter of Courtney and the late Kurt Cobain. The two are about 24 years apart, and Grohl first knew Frances Bean as a newborn baby. So the accusations are pretty damning IF to be believed. more ›

Courtney Love has been threatening to leave Twitter all weekend—let's hope it's because she's actually, like, happy, thus shedding the need for an online public outlet in which to vent. The Daily News reports that one of her recent Twitter victims, ex-boyfriend Edward Norton (who she called out for owing her money), has gotten back in her good graces (because, whoops, he didn't actually owe her anything) and may be acting as a mediator on some level between Love and Frances Bean. more ›

Courtney Love wants her baby back, and (in between posting topless photos of herself) is Twittering up a storm about it. Specifically, she Tweets of lawsuits she'd like to file against Kurt Cobain's mother and sister, who currently have custody of her daughter Frances Bean. She warned, "this shit with the bean needs to be exposed for what it is right fucking NOW enough." more ›

Earlier this week it was reported that Courtney Love had lost custody of her and Kurt Cobain's 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean. Reportedly Frances Bean said she preferred to live with her grandmother, and custody was handed over to her, Wendy O'Connor, as well as Kurt's sister. more ›

Now that Frances Bean, daughter of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, will be turning 18 next year... the system has decided her mother is in no shape to care for a child. It somewhat shockingly took 17 years for this to happen. TMZ reports that "guardianships of this nature are frequently established when the parent is not capable of taking care of their children. The guardianship is for both Frances Bean personally and her financial well-being." Again, this took 17 years? Frances is now under the guardianship of Kurt's mom and sister (Wendy O'Connor and Kimberly Dawn Cobain, respectively), who will not have power over the trust established after Kurt's death. Both Courtney and Frances Bean have been living in the city; Courtney recording a new Hole album... and making out with DJ Qualls. more ›

Courtney Love wished us all a belated Merry Christmas today via her MySpace blog (which we don't normally check in on, but thankfully Curbed was on the ball). What did Santa bring her? An apartment in the West Village! So really, it's like a present for us all. She stated, in perfectly readable English:

Last time Courtney was in a NYC court, she re-did the courtroom sketch of herself. And she was admitted to Bellevue during the summer, though not to their psych ward. Of course, her marriage to Kurt Cobain was Law & Ordered...and her issues with custody of daughter Frances Bean Cobain were Kevin Hill-ed. more ›

Man, if Courtney Love thinks taking her case to Rush & Molloy is going to win her some support, she clearly is insane. Love talks to the Daily News' gossip mongers in order to give a glimpse into her mental health, as she tries to get custody of poor little Frances Bean back, after Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services placed her 11 year-old child with Kurt's mother, Wendy O'Connor when police arrested Love for, oh, being under the influence of controlled substance (and breaking the windows of her ex-boyfriend's house) and overdosing on OxyContin. Some gems: more ›

Gothamist wasn't sure what was more distressing about an episode of the Osbournes that was rerun yesterday: Seeing Jack Osbourne fall for the cute blonde houseguest of Courtney Love or seeing Courtney Love. Probably Courtney Love, who walked around in her underwear and changed in front of the camera and just acts like the crazy person she must be. L.A. Department of Children's Services - get Frances Bean out! And lest you think that Courtney's houseguest was Kato-like or some poor girl whose job it would be to pleasure Courtney or revive Courtney after some night on the town, the object of Jack's affections is Brieann O'Connor, half-sister of Kurt Cobain. more ›
