Courtney Love and Daughter TW 3 5 10 Frances Bean Cobain Inherits Trust Fund Today, Apparently Turned Down Twilight Role

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.

Well, brace yourselves for the inevitable, music fans – the juggernaut known as Muse, when not busy inspiring an insipid series of poorly-written and waterlogged novels that then go on to be adapted into an even more insipid series of films constructed solely to capitalize on teenage girls’ hormonal  instability and ability to spend money, is planning to reenter the studio and record a new album featuring even more of the emotional and sonic depth, subtlety and nuance we’ve all come to know and love them for.

Twilight Webcast Featuring Performances By Metric and Cee Lo Twilight Webcast To Feature Performances By Metric and Cee Lo Tonight

If you like the Metric, Cee-Lo or Eastern Conference Champions, you’re in luck tonight. If you’re also a Twlight fan, you’re really lucky tonight. In support of the upcoming third installment of the Twilight saga, Eclipse, there will be a webcast streaming performances from the previously mentioned artists. You have to admit that Twilight continues to shed its ridiculous teen-crazy reputation bit by bit (very small bits) by putting out some decent soundtracks. We know we enjoy the soundtracks much more than we could enjoy the movies now that the music has veered toward the indie music scene.

Muse Music Video: Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)

Muse Music Video Neutron Star Collision Love Is Forever Muse Music Video: Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)

We posted the audio for Muse’s song and lead single off of the Eclipse soundtrack a few days ago but we now have the official video that just… well makes us question the Muse/Twilight team-up even more.

Remember how we kept mentioning the term, “melodramatic?” Although the new song is a perfect match for the teen saga, we’re not sure what to say about the track now that the drama has been turned all the way up with clips from the film and Bellamy and his gang just milking this gig as much as they can.

Listen Muses Contribution To Eclipse Soundtrack Neutron Star Collision Love Is Forever Listen: Muses Contribution To Eclipse Soundtrack   Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)

Last week, we went through the painful process of finding out the track list to the latest Twilight soundtrack as the official MySpace Music page revealed it song by song… every half hour… (See how much we love our readers?) However! It turned out the Eclipse soundtrack continued its streak with indie tunes from artist such as Fanfarlo, Florence + The Machine, Bat For Lashes and many more. (You can see the entire track list here.)

Also, a Twilight soundtrack wouldn’t be complete without a Muse track since the band was an inspiration for the series and, of course, is Stephanie Meyer’s’ favorite band. As you can see from our headline, the title of the track is a bit melodramatic but what else is new? Muse is incredibly melodramatic and you Twi-hards are, too. (We say just that because the books are!)

The Twilight Saga Eclipse Soundtrack Features Metric Bat For Lashes Vampire Weekend And More The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Soundtrack Features Metric, Bat For Lashes, Vampire Weekend And More

Late last night we shared the news with you in regards to the upcoming soundtrack for Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight series. Although a couple of movie stars may be holding production back by demanding a pay raise, Alexandra Patsavas and her people at Chop Shop Records and Atlantic Records are ready to share the music with you. Exciting, right? Even if you’re not a Twilight fan, you have to admit the last soundtrack was pretty rad with their choice to go for a “softer” indie touch.

The con to this soundtrack track list? We’re going to have to wait all day to have the final list of songs and artists much like we had to wait all day for the Bonnaroo lineup…  The track list will reveal itself here but we’ve got the first batch of artists who are on the Eclipse soundtrack below! We’ll be updating it here on the site until we have them all! Check it out so far after the jump!

Poll Should Robert Pattinson Sign A Record Deal With Simon Cowell Poll: Should Robert Pattinson Sign A Record Deal With Simon Cowell?

Oh, Twi-hards. Your dreams of holding an album by the one and only pasty yet sparkling Robert Pattinson may be coming true! Simon Cowell, who has produced albums of Leona Lewis and Il Divo, has his heart set on signing Rpattz to a record deal. Word from E! and Celebuzz has everyone talking about the American Idol judge getting deliriously giddy over the thought of making the Twilight star a pop star as well.

The only thing stopping this Idol-vamp merge is Pattinson, himself. Even though Cowell is willing to do anything to sign the actor-sometimes-singer-songwriter, friends of the teen heartthrob are saying Pattinson is being more than hesitant about the offer.
