Kurt Cobain's daughter hosts party with a suicide theme
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Life & Style
It's hard to believe, but Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain is old enough to have had her Sweet Sixteen birthday party. Frances was only a toddler in 1994 when Cobain was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, which makes her "My Suicidal Sixteen" party theme all the more disturbing.
Frances' soiree, marking the "death of childhood," was held at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. Frances asked her guests to wear black or red and to participate in a "Who Looks the Most Dead" contest (prizes: "IPOD TOUCH and a $200 gift certificate to amoeba"). Guests were also warned that, due to House of Blues rules, bags would be searched at the door ("so don't be stupid and try to bring shit it do it b4 you get into the party if you have to and try to be stealth!"). Apparently, Frances can plan a party but cannot spell check her email invitation.
The party reportedly cost mom Courtney Love a whopping $323,000. Love arrived for the soiree in the dress Angelica Houston wore in the movie "The Addams Family." Ooooh classy.
Looking at her family tree, it's pretty amazing that France Bean has never made the news for drug abuse or mental health issues, so I'll give her a pass on hosting such a tacky themed party. Growing up with Courtney Love as a mom, a woman with a long history of drug abuse, it's not likely that Frances could count on her to step in and tell her what is inappropriate and what is acceptable.
Hopefully the Suicidal Sixteen party was just a dark humor joke and not a sign of what is to come for Frances Bean.

Caz said...my god, look at her eyes! they're gorgeous. anyways, i think the party is a clever idea, not in anyway making fun or pointing to a drug addiction or w/e you guys said it was pointing at... "death of childhood"... pretty creative if you ask me.

Janet said...First of all, I think everyone is taking the word suicide too literally. She was not having a party to celebrate killing yourself, although I do not necessarily condone the theme. I hope she does not end up a train wreck like her mother, love her music though. She looks like both of her parents, they could have chosen a better name though....

nicki said...Wow - I am amazed that any of you would use the word "clever" and
"creative" in regards to her party theme. Could she not think of a more positive party theme to celebrate her 16th birthday !!!!!!!!!! She is, in fact, only 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shadow said...As a hardcore Nirvana fanboy from the "Courtney killed Kurt" school of thought, I say who really cares? So she has a warped sense of humour. Hell, so do most of us. She's got a right to have the same privacy as any other 16 year old girl has. Hell, I'm just surprised she isn't twice as messed up as she actually is with Courtney Love for a mum.
