7:20AM Defamer Hollywood | For some parents, raising a child alone after a partner has committed suicide is a sensitive thing. Then, as always, there is Courtney Love. Last seen recommending orgasms to the Jonas Brothers, the singer is once again in the news for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on her daughter’s 16th birthday party, a suicide-themed affair that included games like a “who can look the most dead” contest.

11:57AM Mark Graham | Give some credit to Harper’s Bazaar photog Jeff Reidel for convincing Frances Bean Cobain to strike an Evita Peron pose in the newest issue of the magazine.

We’re sure the look on the animatronic Kurt Loder’s face is gonna be priceless. [Harper's Bazaar via Gawker] More »
