Remember a few months ago Courtney Love was all up in arms over an allegedy burglary which included the late, great Kurt Cobain’s ashes? Well, they seemed to have resurfaced…

Some kooky German artist named Natascha Stellmach is claiming to be in possession of said ashes and would like to roll them into a joint and smoke them as the grand finale of her art exhibition entitled “Gone”.

Stellmach says the purpose of such a display is to “release Cobain from the media circus and into the ether”,  and as to where she obtained the ashes from “That’s confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free.”

Some are just born crazy….

I mean, it’s a compliment for sure, but I can’t help but wonder if faded rocker Courtney Love is pimping out her 15 year old daughter.

Rumor has it that Karl Lagerfeld is in discussions with Frances Bean to be the star of his new campaign.

No denying, girl’s got style-she is SERIOUS rock royalty after all.

Rock royalty, princess Frances Bean Cobain makes pretty much her limelight debut in the pages of this month’s Harpers Bazaar.

 Although steadily around the Hollywood scene since birth, Frances has kept a low profile through most of her youth-this is the first time I believe she really puts it out there.  For the spread she dresses up and re-enacts scenes from the films “Evita”, “Beauty and the Beast” and “Grease”.  Check it out here

In a recent interview with the UK press Courtney Love explained how hard it is being a single mom to a teenager…

She recently allowed 16 year old Frances Bean to take a little vaca with Sting’s kid, in which the girls decided to take in the flick “Control”.

 For those of you not in the know, it’s the biopic of Ian Curtis, insanely troubled frontman of Joy Division who killed himself at 23…

For obvious reason’s Frances Bean came home “disturbed” and Courtney claims she had no knowlege of her daughter even thinking of viewing the film until after.

As we reluctantly reported last week, a new Kurt Cobain biopic is in the works…

If they’re going to do it, they better do it the RIGHT way and that means hiring reputable actors, writers, directors, producers, etc to tell the tale.

 So far, rumor has it James McAvoy (Last King of Scotland) is the front runner choice to play the legend, and David Benioff is signed on to write the screenplay.  Benioff is best known for a little film called Troy…

 Bottom line, we’re skeptical about the authenticity of this film due to one such executive producer name Courtney Love…do the right thing for once, please.

Spencer Elden

Famous For: His appearance on the cover of Nirvana’s breakthrough 1991 LP, Nevermind

“When Spencer Elden’s parents agreed to let their friend, photographer Kirk Weddle, snap a whole roll of film of their infant son swimming underwater in a crystal-clear swimming pool, they couldn’t have known that, eventually, more than 9 million people would own a picture of their naked son.

“Yeah, it’s kind of creepy that that many people have seen me naked,” Elden said. “I feel like I’m the world’s biggest porn star.”

While that might be a stretch, Elden has become something of a celebrity because of his appearance on Nevermind, and often sits for radio and camera interviews (he gets a fee for the latter) to discuss his life as the Nirvana baby. But otherwise, now-17-year-old Spencer is like most teens. He’s about to enter his junior year at Eagle Rock High School in Eagle Rock, California, and works a typical high-school job at a local juice shop. He has aspirations of one day becoming an airline pilot; he surfs, snowboards and loves playing water polo.

“It’s kind of cool, knowing that I’ve been on an album cover, but I feel pretty normal about it because growing up, I’ve always known I was the Nirvana baby,” he said. “It never really struck me as like, ‘Oh, sh– — that’s me on the cover.’ It’s always just been whatever for me. At the time, my parents didn’t know who Nirvana was. No one really knew who they were. And then all of a sudden, it took off, and I just happened to be on the album cover.”

Elden said he is a true Nirvana fan but has never met any of the bandmembers. He’s had a platinum record for Nevermind hanging in his bedroom since his first birthday. But Spencer hasn’t seen any royalties from the record’s sales; his parents were paid just $200 for allowing him to be photographed.

“My dad went to art school over here in Pasadena, and while he was going there, he had a good friend named Kirk, who was, at one time, a Navy Seal and an underwater-demolition expert,” Elden, who is often asked to sign copies of the album, explained. “And so, to go to art school, he gave up diving. One day, he and my mom were sitting at the dinner table during a party, and my mom actually came up with the idea. He was saying how he missed scuba diving, and she said, ‘Why don’t you just do underwater photography?’ When he graduated, the first gig he got was the Nirvana album, and he needed a baby. So they just threw me in the pool, snapped a whole roll of film in like a second, and that’s how it happened.”

Of course, being the Nirvana baby has helped him with the ladies: “I have to use stupid pickup lines like, ‘You want to see my p—s … again.’ ” But being on the album’s cover has led to some strange encounters as well. He was once invited to swim in a rather wealthy woman’s pool for the mere fact that he was the Nirvana baby. Another time, he even met “Weird Al” Yankovic, who famously lampooned the cover on his 1992 disc, Off the Deep End.

“I ran into him when I was going to do a TV interview,” Elden said. “He was in the hallway, and he actually signed the back of my platinum record.”
