In April of 1994, Nirvana frontman and grunge pioneer Kurt Cobain died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 27 at his time of death. And though few things are as inexorable as time’s passing, it’s remarkable to think that today he would have celebrated his 50th birthday.
A dark and fascinating little item that’s been bobbing just beneath the surface of of the gossip sites over the past few weeks is the custody battle over a guitar once owned by the late Kurt Cobain that may be worth several million dollars.
Two items belonging to Kurt Cobain were put on auction Monday—the vintage cardigan he wore on MTV Unplugged in 1993 (starting bid: $25,000) and a small lock of his hair (starting bid: $4000). Buried in the lot description, though, was a much more important bit of news: Frances Bean has a creepy doll made with locks of…
Daniel Keller, the older brother of Anna Duggar, echoes the thoughts of the nation by wondering what the heck his sister is doing by staying with her cheating and (worse yet) child-molesting husband, Josh Duggar. The answer—like all things Duggar—is horribly depressing.
Since the suicide of Kurt Cobain on April 8, 1994, his widow Courtney Love has been dogged by persistent rumors that she had a hand in it. More than 21 years later, Love has now issued a cease and desist against theaters showing Soaked in Bleach, a new documentary that gives a platform to Tom Grant, a private…
I DVR’d Montage of Heck and watched it a day after it premiered on HBO. I waited partly out of dread. Everything I’ve read about the Kurt Cobain documentary cast it as the most through and fascinating depiction of him ever—largely due to unprecedented access to home movies, journals, and a clutch of his Dr Demento-…
Hardcore Nirvana fans can experience what it was like to live in the same place as their god by renting out the Los Angeles home Kurt Cobain used to share with Courtney Love. Grunge rock’s royal couple occupied the two-bedroom apartment, located in the Fairfax district, from 1991 to 1992. Kurt turned the space into a…
But this being the world we live in, you can buy such a thing if you are the kind of person who thinks this is an edgy fashion statement to make.
Lana Del Rey took her profitable act of sad core Americana too far recently and said she wished she was dead. Maybe acting sad all the time actually makes the singer unhappy, or maybe that too is all a charade. Who knows, but what is clear is that Frances Bean, daughter of Kurt Cobain, one of Del Rey’s fallen heroes,…
Today, Seattle police released images of a note that Kurt Cobain kept in his wallet wherein the Nirvana frontman called wife Courtney Love a "bitch with zits" who was "siphoning" money for "doping and whoring."

Kanye West is allegedly going out of control planning his big day. The singer/actor/designer/messiah was expected to have a quiet family wedding (lol, no), but recent reports from various insiders suggest that West's ideas are running to much more extravagant places.
On the heels of releasing her new "Adore You" video, Miley Cyrus spoke with The New York Times, and she sounds like herself. Annoying. The pop star says she is a feminist, doesn't want to glamorize drugs, didn't turn Joe Jonas onto weed — lolz at the Disney beef — and draws inspiration from Kurt Cobain and at least…
When Nirvana co-founders Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic were 18 years old, they were arrested when Cobain tagged an alley wall with Shaggy and Scooby Doo getting freaky. I guess you could say they were Scooby Dooing it? Puke, sorry, and I'll see my way out.
Last week marked the birthday of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain (he would have been 46), a dude who was cool about a lot of stuff — guitars, hair colors, well-worn sweaters, infectious hooks — but one of the things he was the coolest about was women. Or rather, his ardent support of their absolute equality. Kurt Cobain…
Yesterday a fangirl who calls herself Amanda Bieber (clever, right?) took to her Twitter account to defend her "boyfriend" Justin Bieber against the haters—something which, judging from her feed, seems to be her primary occupation. She posted the following:
In a modern take on the Ab Fab Saffy and Edina relationship, it's been revealed that Frances Bean Cobain is taking control and now owns all the rights to her dad Kurt's image, likeness and publicity, after using her mom Courtney Love's request for a multi-million-dollar loan as leverage. With Love coming to her…
While plowing through all the Nevermind 20th anniversary tributes that have been released this week, you're going to need sustenance. So there's no better time to whip up a batch of Kurt's no-bake cookies! The blog Eating The Beats has an illustrated guide to making the (non) baked goods based on a recipe found in…
Recently discovered video from 1993 shows Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love and their daughter, Frances, in rare happy family mode. Frances is naked and curious; Courtney is the proud, loud mom; Kurt a quiet, patient father. Tomorrow marks 20 years since the release of Nirvana's Nevermind.
