Courtney Love regained custody of Francis Bean Cobain, her daughter with obscure rocker Kurt Cobain, ending a particularly ugly chapter in her already spotty parenting past. If you remember back in '92, at the height of the Seattle invasion, there was a custody battle for Frances over Courtney's alleged heroin use during pregnancy. While relatively unsubstantiated, these claims resulted in the child being removed from her parent's care. Twelve years later, she apparently hadn't learned that being high on OxyContin in court, OD'ing in front of your kid and engaging in fisticuffs with Kurt Cobain's mom outside the courtroom weren't good ideas. She was quickly pegged by the press (and pretty much everyone else) as a drugged-out, washed-up loser.
Love now claims to be heading down a new, much cleaner path for the sake of Frances Bean, who will undoubtedly carry massive amounts of baggage into her already bleak future. Her mother has staunchly defended herself and her parenting, using the obvious intelligence and savvy she possesses, struggling to shed the 'drugged-out washed-up loser' handle she's acquired. In a brilliant PR move, she's begun working with her ex-boyfriend Billy Corgan, an even bigger washed-up loser, on a new album.
Will it pay off? Have you seen Corgan lately? He looks horrible. He has, like, dreadlocks. In his beard. Yeah, he has a beard. It's disgusting. Have you read any of that poetry of his? "Blinking with Fists," that's what it's called. I'm not kidding. Next to him, Courtney's got no choice but to look good.
