The Laird Norton Tyee Trust Company, co-trustee of Frances Bean Cobain’s trust fund filed documents in court yesterday, seeking permission to go through her mother Courtney Love’s financial documents. Apparently, they had reason to believe that Courtney had been spending some of Frances’ trust fund money.
Courtney was originally allowed to control some of the money in the trust, but the right was taken away from her in December when she lost custody of her daughter.
Frances Bean Cobain’s restraining order against her mother, Courtney Love was extended by a judge yesterday. The order will now ban Courtney from contacting her daughter until April 9th.
Frances, who turns 18 in August, is currently living with her paternal grandmother, Wendy O’Connor and aunt Kimberly Dawn Cobain.
Frances Bean Cobain is set to appear on the debut album for Dresden Dolls’ Amanda Palmer and Seattle punk musician Jason Webley’s new band, Evelyn Evelyn.
Like many of Amanda Palmer’s previous ideas, this project is a little off the rocker. The band is supposedly made up of a pair of conjoined twins who were raised in the circus after their mother died during childbirth. Apparently the twins began their music career when Amanda and Jason discovered them on Myspace.
Frances will sing on a power ballad appropriately titled “My Space”, alongside My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way, Andrew WK, and Weird Al Yankovic.
The album drops on March 30, and will be accompanied by a graphic novel.
After Courtney Love posted a mostly-unintelligible rant about her daughter Frances Bean on her Facebook yesterday, a judge reportedly issued a temporary restraining order, prohibiting Courtney from having any contact with Frances.
The entire ordeal began last week when Courtney lost custody of Frances to her paternal grandmother, Wendy O’Connor, and aunt, Kimberly Dawn Cobain. According to Courtney’s rep, Frances was the one who chose to move in with her grandmother.
The temporary restraining order is set to be made permanent during a hearing scheduled for January 5.
Courtney Love posted the following incoherent rant on her Facebook page today. We’re not exactly sure what she was trying to say, but we think it has something to do with Frances Bean choosing to live with her grandmother rather than her.

She then made a few more comments about Utah, ketchup on instant mashed potatoes, and The Crucible.

After a slightly crazy year, Courtney Love has just lost custody of her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean to her late-husband Kurt Cobain’s mother Wendy O’Connor and Kurt’s sister Kimberly Dawn Cobain.
Courtney did not appear in court for the custody hearing which took place on Friday.
According to TMZ, guardianship of Frances was changed to protect her personal and financial well-being.
Frances Bean Cobain has started her college search, and according to sources, she’s quite interested in relocating to NYC for her four years of keg parties and personal enlightenment.
Frances, who currently lives in L.A. with mom Courtney Love, has named Bard among the schools that she’s been looking at. Courtney confirmed the speculation, telling reporters at Elton John’s Enduring Vision benefit the other day that Frances was showing interest in leaving L.A., and had already started making a list of her top schools.
Apparently 140 characters was just not enough for Frances Bean Cobain to express her true feelings about Ali Lohan. Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain’s precious spawn took to Twerbose yesterday to post a friggin diatribe about Lindsay Lohan’s 40-year-old little sister. Frances wrote,
This is my open letter to Ali Lohan.
Your not entitled to anything simply because your sister has a recognizable name. Your idea of fame isn’t fame. It’s infamy. You want to be famous? Work your ass off and make decisions that could potentially catapult your career into a lasting one. Notariety for who you are and notaritey for the work you produce are two completely differnt things. I understand that you have been brought up in an envirtoment where the idea of fame is easily achievable but, that’s not an excuse. You lack the talent, social understanding and credibility to be anything other then infamous. Your careere choices, thus far, will transcend a future career as someone who attempted to be famous, but never quite achieved it. And if you do, it will be the formality of fame that puts you on the covers of tabloids, while the public idly watches you plumit into the murky abyss shared with the likes of Spencer Pratt & Jon Gosslin who, i’m sure, will steal your money whilst there. Fortunately for the world, there are people who have and don’t have recognizable names, who have obtained artistic integrity and will one day, hopefully, bring that tangible artisticness into light again. Though, its hard to think thats achievable when people like You ali lohan are rendering the world of true talent by attempting to make your entitled ass noticed. How is this fair to the people who HAVE artistic integrity, or a mind? How is it fair to those who truly have something to offer the human race other then a dwindling last name and a few shitty films, both of which, solidified the idea that your just a celebrities sibling. I recognize that i might come across as harsh and no, i don’t personally know you, but its the actions that you take, that speak for you. You blatently don’t care how your recognized, its the objective to get famous and that is what makes you replaceable and a recycled idea .Well, im ashamed to have to be grouped into the same category of person as you. I would rather die a most painful death the be assoicated with the kind of careere your trying to make for your self. I hope i’m wrong because generally i’m not a very judgmental person, but in the case of you, that is MY entitlement.
We think she’s trying to say that Ali Lohan is a dumbass.
The First Republic Bank reportedly filed an order in a San Francisco court last week, after the Laird Norton Tyee Trustee Company tried to access Courtney Love’s daughter Frances Bean Cobain’s $1.2 million trust fund.
Courtney’s lawyer claimed yesterday that they had given permission to the trust to move the money to another bank. He accused the bank of filing the order to prevent themselves from losing their rich customers.
All of the funds are now on hold until the court makes a ruling on who can touch the money.
Courtney Love was reportedly busted for trashing a room at The Inn on Irving Place in NY with her daughter Frances Bean last month.
Sources say that on June 17, Courtney and Frances checked into the hotel for eight hours, and when they left the high-end establishment, staff found, among other things, dirty needles and used tampons all over the floor. The damage cost the hotel $5,000 to clean up.
Last month, Courtney blamed her recent destructive behavior on the stress of losing her late husband Kurt Cobain’s fortune to swindlers who stole her identity.
Courtney Love spent more than $323,000 on daughter Frances Bean’s RIP childhood themed sweet 16 party, fitting only for a kid whose dad killed himself when she was a baby.
Frances showed up to the event at LA’s House of Blues in a dress that her dad Kurt Cobain wore at a performance at Reading Festival, and guests played contest games like “who can look the most dead.” How appropriate.
