Courtney Love has Lost Custody of Frances Bean

 Hole singer Courtney Love has lost custody of her daughter with her late husband Kurt Cobain.  On December 11, 2009 custody of Frances Bean Cobain, 17, was given to Wendy O'Connor and Kimberly Dawn Cobain, Kurt's mother and sister, respectively.  Love's lawyer has indicated that Frances chose to live with her grandmother, rather than being taken from her mother.  O'Connor also had custody of Frances in 2003 and 2004.  The custody issue will be revisited in February.  Frances will be 18 in August.  The court ruling does not give Frances' grandmother and aunt control over her trust fund.

Frances Bean Cobain May have More Sense Than her Parents

The parents of Frances Bean Cobain, Courtney Love, of Hole, and Curt Cobain, of Nirvana, have both experienced the downside of fame, to say the least. Curt committed suicide 15 years ago, leaving wife, Courtney Love and baby Frances behind. Frances was not yet two when her father died. Courtney has battled with drugs and mental issues throughout Frances' young life. It seemed that the child never had a chance.

Now 17, Frances Bean Cobain has been offered an opportunity that most people would jump on. Reportedly, the beautiful Frances, who is the spitting image of her father, was offered the role of Alice in Time Burton's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. She turned the role down to go to college. It seems that the girl somehow got her head on straight and decided that the life that her mother and father chose was not one that she wants to choose for herself, at least not now. Stars that have signed on to do the film include Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, and Helena Bonham Carter.
