    Courtney Love Quits Twitter With Daughter Frances Bean Cobain

    Just a few days after Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Twittered a tirade against actress Ali Lohan, Frances and her mother Courtney Love have apparently deleted their Twitter accounts. It comes as a shock to those who follow Love, who's notorious for her rapid-fire Tweet rants about topics spanning lawyers, mortgage fraud, advice on fixing FICO scores, alleged theft of couture and trust funds, hackers, Ryan Adams and Russell Brand.

    "On the one hand, I don't know what to do with myself. The internet is a lonely, eerily quiet place without Courtney screaming about hackers and lawyers and whatever else," the anonymous brain behind CLTranslated on Twitter tells Spinner. "But on the other hand, I can't imagine she can stop herself from returning to the internet very, very soon. She'll be back."

    For those who missed Frances Bean's open letter to Lohan, it's a scathing attack on the 15-year-old wannabe starlet, sister of Lindsay, after Frances observed Ali enjoying the VIP treatment at Fashion Week in Paris recently. "Your [sic] not entitled to anything simply because your sister has a recognizable name," blasted Cobain, 17. "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."

    "You lack the talent, social understanding and credibility to be anything other then infamous," Frances wrote. "It will be the formality of fame that puts you on the covers of tabloids, while the public idly watches you plumit [sic] into the murky abyss shared with the likes of Spencer Pratt and Jon Gosselin who, I'm sure, will steal your money whilst there ... People like you, Ali Lohan, are rendering the world of true talent by attempting to make your entitled ass noticed."

    But Bean wasn't finished. "You blatently [sic] don't care how your recognized, it's [sic] the objective to get famous and that is what makes you replaceable and a recycled idea," she continued. "Well, I'm [sic] ashamed to have to be grouped into the same category of person as you. I would rather die a most painful death than be assoicated [sic] with the kind of career [sic] you're trying to make for yourself [sic]."

    Twitter speculation on the reason for the sudden departure ranges from outright hacking to a Lohan-supporter backlash against Frances Bean. Love's departure from Twitter comes just days after she Tweeted her mix of nerves and adoration after sharing the stage with Bono and Gavin Friday at New York's Carnegie Hall.

    i do miss courtney's late night rants...however..frances bean is a spoiled, insecure, vile human being who is in serious need of anger management and/or some form of moral guidance...this girl has a mouth on her that is beyond understanding considering the fact that she has done absolutely nothing substantial during her 17 plus years to brag about...i've seen her in person...i know people who are close to her...she's nasty, conceited, arrogant and thinks she has some sort of right or entitlement to speak her asinine words to others solely because she is the offspring of 2 drug induced entertainers...one of which is dead by suicide..the other who is obviously in need of medical treatment for drugs and mental issues....as i said...i know people who know this girl personally and as a mother it saddens me to see how selfish and angry this girl is....she needs to grow up, act like a woman and stop her stupidity before it's too late...i understand it's been hard growing up w/no father and in courtney love's presence...but believe me....that's only an excuse..this girl could have it all...but she chooses to be an idiot and treat people and life with her lashing out and/or stating her ongoing negative outlook and commments...stupid, stupid girl....and if you read this frances..you know i've told you this before...yes...i've told you this many times as well as my daughter....stop the abuse cycle frances and turn your life around before it's too late...

    spending too much time reading into these "blogs, letters,'tweets..." It's fluff, nothing that deserves time spent to write an equally as long rant as frances bean. Do something constructive. Just read it. Don't take it personal.

    the fact that this girl has treated everyone around her with disrespect and has no right telling others how to live their lives when she's got major problems and has no clue..lola...do you know her?..i do...so back off or state something factual other than try to make me look like the bad guy here....i am only stating the truth....and i have many others to back me on this....this letter to ali is nothiing compared to what frances has done to others...she needs to keep her mouth shut and be kinder to people who are nice to others...karma...do you understand karma lola?...doesn't sound like it...

    I have to wonder what kind of person Frances Bean Cobain is since she blocks people who are just trying to talk to her and get to know her. I've seen her lash out against people for no good reason who just wanted to talk to her on Twitter. It seems like she thinks she's better than everyone else.

    I can't tell you how sad it is to read all this negative stuff on Frances. She's coming across as such a hateful person...nothing like Kurt. He once said, "Don't believe everything that you read..." Why are you guys taking what she said so personal? I get a feeling it's all just something going on between Frances & Ali, and I'm sure it's more than any reader of the general public is privy to.

    go frances. did any of you watch ali's "christmas magic" video? it actually made me hate christmas a little. and anyone who makes me hate christmas should probably be "death paneled" via obama's healthcare bill. ali lohan is simply a skidmark on one of hollywood's dirtiest pairs underpants and will likely not be leaving a stain.

    J, you shouldn't assume that Frances is a saint just because Kurt was. She's her own person, just because she shares DNA with Kurt Cobain doesn't mean she's inherited any of his personality.

    Donna, I think you're being inappropriate by being so mean on a public forum (in fact it strikes me as hypocrisy, aren't you acting the same way as Frances?) but at the same time, you probably know more about her than any of us. Unless you're lying, and we all know that's very easy to do on the internet.

    As for the subject of Courtney Love quitting Twitter... Maybe for a while, but I think she'll be back. She's going to miss ranting.

    Really!at 11-30-2009

    I don't think J was suggesting that but rather suggesting we listen to Kurt's words.

    What I really want to say is this:
    Donna,
    You are sooo full of crap! If you knew her personally, you wouldn't need to comment to her on here. If you knew her personally, you wouldn't have changed your story twice in your very first post (ie. "I know people that are close to her" followed by "I've seen her in person" followed by "if you read this frances..you know i've told you this before...yes...i've told you this many times"). Pick one Donna. Do you know people that know her, did you see her once, or do you know her sooo well you have given her life advice many times, yet have to comment on here to send her a message now?
    It's people like you that lie and gossip and make a mountain out of a molehill that disgust me.

    Just how do you know Frances anyway, Donna? Besides, she's a teenager. All teenagers are immature and self-centered to some extent. Spoken from a 17 year old.
    Not saying that she's right in attacking a stranger, but really, lots of teens do the same thing.

    Yeahat 11-18-2009

    ok I really have no life at all, I am self confused internet music nerd, so if your going to have a go at me for reading all this plus all the comments it wont work because i know.
    Francis sounds smart as to what i know she doesnt want to be famous by accoisiation, and i havent really seen her do so, there is no excuse for your actions but anyone has the right to voice thier opinion over the internet, like me for example i am some gay 17 year old who isnt famous and really has too much time on their hands and yet i sit here writting a long and detailed opinion that probably no one will read. At least she isnt out and about with her knickers down vomiting on the side walk like some other celebarties who dont really do anything to be famous,,, my conclusin ... she is just some 17 year old who probably knows this girl and well bitchyness in 17 year olds is pretty normail same with some type of rebelion type thing and stuff. She is yet to mark in life maybe we should wait and see what happens to judge,,, but wait who are we really to judge we are all human and all the same we have just as much right as anyone to have an opinion. thats my bullshit rant for today!
    leave her alone she is only a 17 year old girl let her have her feud with other 17 year old girls

    funnily enough i USED to know her too. we ceased contact after all this kicked off. frances is an ignorant hypocritical bitch who thinks she is way better than everyone else. she needs to be brought back down to earth, she is 17 years old (just) and thinks that just because her father and mother are/were average rock stars, she owns the world. the latest on her mother being "horrible" i think is a load of bullshit. trust frances to over dramatise everything AS USUAL, whos mother payed nearly $500,000 for a sweet 16th birthday party (which i was at ,by the way) that thousands of 16 year olds all over the world would kill for? she is a spoilt, vile human being and im so glad we are not friends anymore. i pity people that actually feel sorry for frances and see her as a genuine human being, she caused me great pain in my life for months and is nothing but a mean hearted attention seeker who thinks she is a thousand times better than everyone else.

    you can tell someone to do when it comes to doing what's right and living appropriately, frances is right, donna just shut up, you're such a victim of media manipulation, it's nice to know that frances can recognize these things and admit to them also. she's so much like her parents, only slightly wiser than her mother
