^^ Are you sure about that?

I could've sworn Frances lived with her grandma at least at some point.

Courtney Love Regains Custody of Daughter

Courtney Love's 12-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, has been returned to her mother's custody thanks to a ruling Monday by a California judge, says the singer's manager, Adam Schneider.

The troubled rocker lost custody of the child, whose father was the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, on Oct. 10, 2003, when Los Angeles county officials removed Frances from Love's care after the former Hole singer was arrested for an attempted break-in at her ex-boyfriend's home, overdosed on painkillers and made a suicide threat.

Love's former mother-in-law, Wendy O'Connor, was named the child's guardian.

"Life is about choices," Love, 40, said in a prepared statement this week, "and I've chosen to move forward with my life in a healthy and positive way. Having my daughter back with me is exciting."

Professionally, Love said in her statement: "I am looking forward to the future in continuing to entertain and create great music. I really appreciate the encouragement and support I've received from my fans and the community. "

Love's attorney Howard Weitzman said: "Frances has been returned to (Love) after a judge indicated satisfaction in Ms. Love's efforts to turn around her life and found it was in the best interests of mother and daughter to be reunited."

Still, Love's numerous legal woes are far from over. These include one count of assault with a deadly weapon (allegedly a liquor bottle tossed at a woman in the L.A. house of Love's former boyfriend) and two counts of illegal possession of prescription painkillers.

Don't think so ^^
Wendy was named the child guardian for a really short period of time. Courtney asked to be changed because (according to her) Wendy was not capable of raising her own children. I even remember she slapped wendy on the face during that time.
Frances spent those 2 years at her home in LA with a nanny and courtney's step father (Frank Rodriguez), who was her guardian. It was the nanny the one who took care of her, not a relative.

The sentence crackho posted was widely spread, but only a few reported the fact that it was changed.

[crackho]

^^Even though this contradicts most reports (like the one I posted) I do seem to recall that Frances still lived with Courtney most of the time and under the care of her nanny when Courney was away in rehab or whatever.

Yes, it's true.
The year she lost custody, Frances lived at her home with her nanny. Courtney's step father moved there (when she regained custody Frank went back to his house). The sentence said that she couldn't sleep in the same house Frances was living, so the solution was Courtney spending daytime at her home and sleeping in a close site she had rented until she regained custody.

She is a very pretty young lady. I think the party sounded fun!

Courtney Love regains full custody of daughter

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Singer Courtney Love has regained full custody of her 11-year-old daughter, her attorney said.
Love, 40, lost custody of Frances Bean Cobain, her daughter with late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, in 2003 after she overdosed on painkillers in front of the girl. The overdose occurred after Love allegedly broke into the home of her ex-boyfriend, music producer Jim Barber.
Her daughter had been staying with Love's stepfather and sister, but Love had daily contact with the girl.
Love regained custody Monday through a judge's ruling, said Love's attorney, Howard Weitzman.
Love, lead singer of the group Hole, said in a statement released by her attorney that she has "chosen to move forward with my life in a healthy and positive way."

However during 2004 she plays in Japan, had half a tour cancelled "due to legal woes" and then planned to do a mini-tour on CA.

Courtney Love & The Chelsea Tour


All girl band finally hits the road.


by IGN Music

US, October 7, 2004 - Following close on the heels of their recent appearance at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival this past summer, Courtney Love & the Chelsea (Samantha Maloney, Lisa Leveridge, Emily Autumn, Dvin Kirakosian, and Radio Sloan) have decided to hit the road for a few select live dates in California.

"I'm finally going on tour with my all girl band...this has been my dream since I drew lipstick all over the Beatles poster in my room when I was five," says Love of the forthcoming mini-tour.

Joining Love and the Chelsea on the road will be punk burlesque sensations the Suicide Girls, as well as Icarus Line* and Juliette and the Licks**, the latter two acts appearing at select shows.

Courtney Love Tour Derailed By Singer's Legal Woes

At least half of her planned shows are now listed as canceled.

Due to Courtney Love's legal problems, her summer tour plans appear to have been severely compromised.
Though the singer's representatives anticipated that the outing, which was to begin this week, would be "slightly delayed," about half of Love's scheduled concert dates are being listed not as postponed, but canceled.
Love turned herself in on a felony assault charge Friday (see "Courtney Love Turns Herself In To Face Assault Charge"), and while her court dates in Los Angeles and New York have had an impact in the routing of the tour, her rep said that the latest arrest wasn't to blame for her itinerary meltdown. "Due to legal reasons, not necessarily the latest charge, her lawyers have advised her to delay the tour," Love's spokesperson Jill Fritzo said.
In the meantime, 10 out of 21 shows are being listed as canceled on Ticketmaster's Web site. A separate non-Ticketmaster date — to be played as part of New York's Central Park Summerstage series — is listed as canceled on the Summerstage Web site.
Venues and promoters have sent out cancellation notices to their local papers. One such notice, sent out Monday (June 14) from the Boston Clear Channel office, confirmed that Love's planned June 23 performance at the club Avalon was canceled and that refunds would be available at point of purchase.
However, Love's camp insists the tour is being rescheduled for August. "We are working on new dates now," Fritzo said.

All this was in the same year that a bench warrent was issue due to her not turning up for court cases related to her drug use. So maybe she didn't have much choice but to stay in CA.... She was supposed to be in rehab during this time, for three months...

Courtney Love Sentenced to Drug Rehab

Photo by: POOL / GLOBE Pledging herself to sobriety, Courtney Love on Tuesday made her first public appearance since being hospitalized as a fugitive on July 9 and was sentenced to mandatory drug treatment in one of four criminal cases against her.


"I've got to stop drinking. It's gonna be fun," the rocker, 40, told a mob of reporters outside the Los Angeles courthouse following the brief proceeding. "It's profound, it's deep."

Judge Patricia Schnegg ordered Love, whose sentence was part of a plea bargain, to check into a court-approved rehab program for her entire 18-month probation. The entertainer must also submit to random drug testing and substance-abuse counseling, Reuters reports.

Rehab center is suing Courtney Love over fees

By Ashley Powers
March 10, 2007 in print edition B-4
A luxury rehabilitation center in Newport Beach has sued rocker Courtney Love for more than $180,000 for treatment she received after overdosing at a Hollywood nightclub in the summer of 2005.
Love, whose three-month live-in program at Beau Monde International began in August 2005, paid the center $10,000 after entering treatment, but has repeatedly refused to pay the rest, said the lawsuit, filed this month in Orange County Superior Court.

But I'm not going to spend my time writing everything i know because people don't care (if anyone's interested i'll gladly answer)
We're going off-topic

As we all know, stories get twisted around. What you have to say is very interesting imo.

What's your opinion of Kurt's death? Suicide or no?
