She’s since deleted her account, but Twitter made us huge fans of Frances Bean Cobain. A child of celebrities who isn’t spoiled, selfish, stupid, or boring, one who is hilarious and adorable without a sense of entitlement? It’s like spotting a majestic whale in a sea filled with slutty plankton. We’ve seen neither hair nor hide of Frances since she fired herself from Twitter, but today she makes headlines because her mom, Courtney Love, has lost control of her. And we don’t mean that Frances has started smoking weed and doing donuts in an Iroq-Z, we’re talking legal control. TMZ reports:
Courtney Love no longer has legal control of her daughter. TMZ has learned a legal guardian has been appointed to care for 17-year-old Frances Bean Cobain. Guardianships of this nature are frequently established when the parent is not capable of taking care of their children.
The guardians appointed by the court are Wendy O’Connor, Kurt Cobain’s mom, and Kimberly Dawn Cobain, Kurt’s sister.
The guardianship was established on Friday. Courtney Love was not in court. [It] is for both Frances Bean personally and her financial well-being.
The guardians do not have power over the trust established after Kurt Cobain’s death.
The guardianship was established after a fairly long period of unstable conduct by Courtney Love. The court proceedings, however, are sealed.
“Long period of unstable conduct” is a nice way of saying “entire life”.

Big friggin’ whoop. This should’ve happened four or five years ago. The minute Frances Bean hit 18, it’s Crazy Town unless someone had the good sense to insist the trust isn’t made available to her until she’s mature…which may be around the time the Libertarians win the White House.
