This week rapper Wiz Khalifa was busted for marijuana possession in North Carolina. Also, Adele‘s 21 outsold Michael Jackson‘s Thriller by 500 copies in the U.K. We also found out that Frances Bean Cobain owns the rights to Kurt Cobain‘s image. Catch up on this week’s news below.
This week President Obama was asked a very important question, “Kanye or Jay-Z?” We’ve got the answer to that question below. Also, Frances Bean Cobain reacted to her mother’s (Courtney Love) ranting tweets about her and Dave Grohl canoodling in the back of car. All that and more, below.
Although most don’t feel sorry for those in the Hollywood spotlight, it is a bit difficult to not have some sympathy for Frances Bean Cobain. As the daughter of Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain and Hole frontwoman, Courtney Love, the girl hasn’t had much time to get out of a media frenzy during her entire life. With her father’s tragic suicide at two years old and her mother constantly fighting lawsuits, issues were taken to another level when custody between her grandmother and mother made headlines.
Today may, however, may be the beginning of a new chapter for Cobain as she turns 18 today and inherits a good chunk of her father’s fortune from the Nirvana franchise.
Brace yourselves—it’s time for another round of aging ‘90s rock icons to grasp the very last and desperately tenuous shreds of just-barely pop-culture relevance: big black hole of dignity Courtney Love and “I’m-a-difficult-ass-therefore-I’m-an-artist” Billy Corgan are currently engaged in a slapfight on, of course, Twitter.

Courtney Love has lost her most precious possession — her daughter. TMZ reported that Love lost temporary guardianship of her and Kurt Cobain‘s 17-year-old daughter on Friday Dec. 14th; the teen is now in the custody of Cobain’s mother, Wendy O’Connor, and sister, Kimberly Dawn Cobain.
The celebrity news site released pictures of the three-long page order. However, the public release did not contain any information as to why Love lost guardianship of her daughter.
