Courtney Love splashes out on Frances Bean's birthday

Courtney Love spent over $323,000 on her daughter's birthday party.

The Hole singer – who is the widow of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – spared no expense in ushering Frances Bean into adulthood at her 'RIP childhood' themed 16th birthday.

The event was held at Los Angeles' House of Blues restaurant. Courtney arrived in a dress worn by actress Angelica Huston in creepy comedy movie 'The Addams Family'.

Frances' announcement of the party:

The party was over at 11:30? I wouldn't get there til midnight.

Isn't that incredibly morbid--considering her father and all?

Lalique · September 12th, 2008, 05:41 PM

^^Yes. Yes it is

But I have to admit Frances looks beautiful. I don't know if it's just the lipstick but her lips look a lot bigger.

Brando · September 12th, 2008, 05:46 PM

She looks really pretty.

Quazar · September 12th, 2008, 05:50 PM

The party was only 2 hours long????? What's up with that? I also think, given her father's death, calling it her "Suicidal 16 party" is in really bad taste. Or maybe I'm taking it too seriously - I was a huge Nirvana fan.

NoNoRehab · September 12th, 2008, 06:21 PM

That's the prettiest I've ever seen her look.

But yeah, her father committed suicide, so weird and also WTF with a catered party lasting two hours???

It's Kurt in lipstick. She looks so much like him.

Yeah, I think it's in extremely poor taste to actually call your party your "Suicidal Sweet 16" when your father offed himself, but it's not like Frances has a mother with any class and couth to tell her about such things. Courtney could have at least bought the child a decent education - Frances' grammar and spelling leave a lot to be desired.
