Courtney Love Reaches Out To Frances Bean Via Twitter

Courtney Love appears to have awoken today in a bit of a stupor and then decided to hop on Twitter to post a frantic series of messages to her estranged daughter Frances Bean Cobain . In unfortunate C. Love style, Courtney just moments ago posted a bunch of really messy tweets on her official Twitter profile which appear to be directed to Frances … here is a batch of those tweets. All spelling and numerous grammatical errors are her own: no kin of mine or of kurts who despised yoru grandmother, ( ask charles cross) with a vengeance would go “where the money is” shocked / beyond the obviopus heartache why are you trying to desperatly to ruin my life and reputation? what is it did you decide to be linda? / well i long for your kiss and your sweet head smell i long for you i ache for you, i die for you every day my heart breaks for you, sowrong / and youve taken away all motivation to do anything i couldnt give a fuck i go where im told go thru the motions why? i warned you theyd come / was that thearpist right? why do u want to ruin my personal life? they dont theres billions int his you were manipulated but why sellmeout? / youve done a dammed good job frances of destroying anything i could build that is positive, and i want to know why now that your of age. / for gods sake now that your of age run like hell they have to give you by law 30k a mionth no matter what not 15k seen your legal bills ? / i ahve this palaver has cost youy my dear over 4 million in legal bills. and none of it wa snecessary, demand not just wylldes butt eState / that carzy bitch wont leave until shes cleaned you out, and btw vanity fair is doing an expoise on ms wylde, should be fun, nocommentfrmme / why would you leave me and my life in tatters like this and get angrier and angrier to justify it, i feel you missing me and i miss you too / just come home,. it took a year but i got the sickest townhouse in the village, theres 4 floors, just come home, i pray to god snap out ofit I find it very difficult to believe that these messages were written by a sober person. That being said, they really read like a desperate person who is trying to reach out in any way that they can for a response. Yes, C. Love is a mess but even I can appreciate the sad tragedy in all of this. Courtney ‘s messages to Frances continue after the jump … i love you little bean, but please stop this madness over so much more money than your little self can comprehend its taken years but / its finally in the right hands things happen for a reason, but you tore me apart from a great love and i dont know why you would do that . / i could never do anything to frances that involved her personal public humilation like utah, or certain items that r private & wld ruiinher / so how could she do it to me, ? dont answer fiddle you need to answer use the family wizard, i took the high road, i rasised you well and im / so sorry i couldnt protect you from lairds greed and need to fuck with you daqrlingyou oinbly get 37% Of in utero, its impossible for me to / have taken anything from you, that 03/05 shit was @edwardnorton s cpa selvaggi and laird, diverting 2.7 m from “yr trust” andsending to self / i havethe wire, but io poaid double down ion 2 795k amex cards and a forged 980kj check anbd a 495 k cash to the house etc they colluded / youllfind this out, i wish i knew what shit they had told you i dont think yhou understand anything thats at stake you should hate them. / instead they hold out a litttle carrot yourso desperate that u cant let me fight for you & you sell out 4 nothing? christ yr better thanthis / i love you no matter what i just dont understand why youd write me such a letter and then de;lberately and knowingly rob me of any joy. why? / your finally grown tell me why? gop tpo the page & tell me the hell why i deserve to kno if that psych is telling the truth & what they say / i love you but your 18 now do NOT allow any guardianship to continue whatsoever! theyll lie to you tell you it “has” to,. no it doesnt! / no lawyers free yourself now theyve built a tower of terror in the REAL word fbc if you dont want to talk to me? we wont talk, stoppaying$ / NO LAWYERS!I LOVE YOU@! As sad as all of this reads, I can absolutely understand why Frances would choose to NOT live with her mother. If Courtney sounds this crazed on Twitter , can you imagine what she may be like in person when she’s in one of these “moods” (ie. not sober)? Courtney ends her Twitter -rant with the following: i am, helpless to know what bullshit they say to her theuuy have one agenda to get away with it and theyve kidnapped my child,. 15k please It’s a shame that she seems to believe that her daughter has been “kidnapped” because if anything, it sounds like Frances just ran for her life … away from all this craziness. It seems clear to me that if Courtney Love were serious about mending fences with her daughter so that she can be in her life again, then she needs to clean up her act for good and appeal to her daughter in a sober and meaningful way. Posting these kinds of messages for all the world to see just does not seem like the way to win back Frances ‘s attention. So sad. [ Source ]

Steven Tyler Reportedly Gets The ‘American Idol’ Judging Job

It’s (almost) official! Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has reportedly nabbed one of the coveted judging positions on the upcoming season of American Idol . As you may recall, we first heard that Tyler was in talks to judge AI back when it was announced that Ellen DeGeneres decided to leave the show as a judge . Despite the fact that as of last week, Tyler still hadn’t been asked to sign a contract , reports out today seem sure that he has, in fact, gotten one of the judging slots on Idol … because one of his bandmates spilled the beans: The “American Idol” judges table is beginning to take shape: Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler has signed a deal to join the Fox talent competition for Season 10. A source close to the negotiations has confirmed reports that Tyler has signed on the dotted line to fill one of the vacancies left by Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres. Fox, as usual, declined to comment. Rumors that Fox was in talks with Tyler and Jennifer Lopez leaked out in July. But Fox and the producers have consistently declined to comment, saying no announcements would be made until the deals were completed. In an interview with the New Jersey Star-Ledger published Wednesday, Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton said his band’s frontman was definitely heading to “Idol.” “Steven is doing `American Idol.’ The ink is dry on that,” Hamilton said. “So, we’ll have to work around his schedule for a new record. As you may recall, we also heard that Jennifer Lopez was going to be an AI judge alongside Tyler but that actually did not work out … so I’m not sure what to make of this new report. It seems logical that the guys in Aerosmith would be in the loop about whether or not Steven Tyler would be judging the show … so I tend to believe that he actually got the job. It still seems like a strange choice to me but there is no question Steven Tyler knows what he’s talking about when it comes to music. It turns out that we’re not even sure if Randy Jackson is coming back as an AI judge … at this point, all we know (for almost certainty) is that Steven Tyler will be on the panel. HMMM … I wonder who will join him. [ Source ]

Dina Lohan Does ‘The Today Show’

Dina Lohan , the mother of Lindsay Lohan who never met a camera she didn’t like , was a featured guest this morning on The Today Show where she was invited to talk about her daughter’s current legal woes, including her current 90 day stint in court-ordered rehab. Dina , being Dina , seemed thrilled at the opportunity to appear on national television. In her interview, a very scattered Dina tried to deflect the pointed questions asked of her by Matt Lauer and instead seemed only interested in talking about how Judge Marsha Revel recused herself as the judge in Lindsay’s case … as if blaming the judge was enough to negate all of Lindsay ‘s crimes and her substance abuse addiction. Dina Lohan is a piece of work, I’ll tell you that. Here are a few screencaps from Dina ‘s appearance on The Today Show and some deets about what she said : An argumentative Dina Lohan – placing the blame on the judge no longer on the case and staunchly defending the behavior of her daughter Lindsay Lohan – appeared on Friday’s Today show, declaring there was nothing wrong with her child. “I’m not condoning drinking and driving, but she’s still paying the price for what she did in 2007,” said an often-agitated Dina, 47, referring to Lindsay’s two DUI cases from three years ago. As for Lindsay, 24, today, “She’s changed,” says her mother. “She’s grown up considerably.” Asked what accounted for this change, Dina told Today’s Matt Lauer, “Age. Living life. Knowing life. Growing up.” For now Lindsay is in inpatient treatment, but the District Attorney’s spokeswoman Jane Robison told PEOPLE Thursday she may get released “earlier than the 90 days” ordered. “It’s up to the judge to amend the court order or to send her to a new program. There are no standing court dates in Lohan’s case. There would have to be a hearing first to amend the judge’s orders,” Robison explained. Repeatedly accusing Judge Marsha Revel of “going overboard” and “playing hardball” by ordering Lindsay to jail for 90 days (she served 13) and into rehab, Dina said that information will be coming out next week showing that the jurist had to remove herself from the case before she was about to be fired. Defending Lindsay, who was at the Cannes Film Festival when she was expected in court in Los Angeles for a progress review, Dina said, “She was in [jail] for just missing a couple of classes and was working at the time.” In addition, Dina noted, by Lindsay’s being behind bars, “She missed driving classes.” The actress also came into personal contact with murderers, said her mother, adding, “She made friends with them.” Pressed about her daughter’s problems, Dina said, “That’s all propaganda,” and called tabloid coverage of Lindsay “pre-orchestrated. You’re reading things that are not based on fact.” Unlike Julia Roberts and other stars, said Dina, Lindsay’s behavior is unfairly scrutinized. “Her life is magnified. Her life is under a microscope … Lindsay doesn’t realize a lot of people are watching her.” Asked if she’s been there for her daughter – after a visibly frustrated Lauer first suggested that Dina, ex-husband Michael Lohan and Lindsay’s friends “have done nothing to help Lindsay” – Dina said that part of a parent’s responsibility is to grant a child her freedom. “When she was 19 and went out to Los Angeles,” said Dina, “I had to let her go.” Moving forward, however, Dina said Lindsay will be coming home to New York. For now, in rehab, “She’s great,” said Dina. “She’s been through a lot.” For most of her young life, Lindsay Lohan has tried to blame other people for her crimes and mistakes … and it it plainly evident now where she learned such destructive behavior. Not once did Dina try to suggest that her daughter, convicted in 2007 for drunk driving, is at all responsible for her crimes. Not once did Dina even look concerned that her self-admitted substance-addicted daughter was going to be released early from a medical facility charged with saving her life … on the contrary, Dina seemed thrilled that her daughter might be released early. It is my humble opinion that Dina Lohan ‘s enabling behavior may lead to her daughter’s ultimate destruction … it just grosses me out ENTIRELY. If you have a strong stomach and think you can handle it, you can watch Dina Lohan ‘s interview on The Today Show in full, after the jump … I absolutely believe that Lindsay Lohan is ultimately responsible for the trainwreck her life has become, no question, but I also believe that Lindsay learned this destructive behavior from her mother’s enabling ways. I hope and pray that Lindsay will, one day, be able to successfully defeat her demons … my fear is that her mother may end up being the ultimate demon that Lindsay will be unable to overcome and, sadly, may lead to her utter downfall.

Amy Winehouse Suffers A Setback

Yesterday we saw a couple of (marginally disturbing) photos of former (yet, possible still) trainwrecks Amy Winehouse and Mischa Barton hanging out together at a pub in London, England . As we should all be well aware by now, both Amy and Mischa have had their share of troubles in the past but have both attempted to clean up their lives in recent months. It would appear that my concerns about these ladies hanging out together were warranted … because after they were spotted together, Amy seems to take a turn for the worse … and appears to have fallen off the wagon : Ugh … Amy looks like she is really down in the dumps. To be honest, I don’t really believe that Mischa ‘s influence on Amy is what caused her spiral downward again … but the timing does seems suspicious, don’t it? In fact, it turns out that Amy had a bit of a falling out with her boyfriend Reg Traviss and was spotted sprawled out in a messy slump on a picnic table in front of the pub owned by Traviss ‘s parents. After the jump, check out a photo of Amy wrecked out on said table … SMASHED AMY WINEHOUSE lies flaked out on a pub table at 9.30am yesterday after falling off the wagon following a row with her new boyfriend. The Back to Black singer, who has famously battled drink and drugs, was snapped outside the boozer owned by her film producer fella REG TRAVISS’s parents. When she woke up, she was nearly run over as she stumbled across a street on the way to her nearby home, where she sat talking into her phone. Amy, 26, took a taxi to Inn 1888 in London’s Marylebone after a session with pals that began at 5pm Monday … She broke off only briefly at 10pm before resuming her tour of Camden, the West End and Chinatown. A source said: “I was told Amy ordered champagne and the group tucked into it before starting on pink cocktails. They were having a great time.” Amy, by now sporting a new outfit, finally left Chinatown at 9.15am and headed for the Inn, where she first met Reg, 33. There, cabbie Michael Prenpeh asked for his fare, but Amy wandered off and fell asleep at the table. Michael said: “She was totally gone. She’d no idea what she was doing. She said her boyfriend had no respect for her and was blubbing away – I gave her a tissue.” An onlooker said: “A car nearly hit her as she walked in the road. It had to brake really hard.” It turns out that Amy ran into Mischa during her party session on Monday and then got sloshed to the point of passing out on the picnic table. Ugh. It is such a shame to see Amy do this to herself over and over and over … despite the fact that she manages to clean up a bit from time to time she always seems to go back to this kind of messy behavior. What a waste … hopefully she’ll clean up again and for good before it’s too late. [Photo credit: Bauer-Griffin ; Source ]

Michael Lohan Writes A Song For Lindsay Lohan

Michael Lohan , who has been turned away and chagrined at every turn, will stop at nothing in his attempts to try and reach out to his estranged daughter Lindsay Lohan (who is currently locked up as Inmate #2409752 in the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA ) … and his latest attempt is his most desperate yet. Daddy Lohan was written a song for his troubled daughter titled A Father’s Love in the hopes that his melodious words will melt her heart enough so that he can weasel his way back in: The private meetings and public pleas didn’t work … but Michael Lohan may have found a way to reach his daughter — through the majesty of song … a song he wrote and produced … and then got a friend to perform. We’re told Michael penned the song while he was in jail — we’re not sure which stint — and produced the whole thing with synthesizers that would make Journey weep. The song contains lyrics like “a father’s love will never die” and “always daddy’s little girl” — click on the LINK and check it out for yourself! Dear gods above … how can Michael Lohan claim to love his daughter and then dump a shitty song like this on her? There is no way he “wrote” and released this song for his daughter’s benefit … it’s just another way for him to get the attention he craves by exploiting his daughter’s dire situation. Click HERE to hear the song for yourselves … but if I were you, I’d keep sharpened pencils nearby … you may want to puncture your earlobes if you listen for too long. [ Source ]

‘Despicable’ 3

Yesterday was Tracey’s last full day here in SoCal and after we spent the whole afternoon hanging out and enjoying the sun (which finally came out after hiding behind the clouds for the last week) we decided to venture out for a sushi dinner at Fat Fish before going to The Grove to see Despicable Me . I’ve been dying to see this movie for weeks now and, if you can believe it, Tracey has never seen a 3D movie before so … away we went: While I still contend that Toy Story 3 is the best animated film released this year, Despicable Me is also very, very good. The whole story is really cute and the ending is super sweet … it’s really one of those movies that the whole family can enjoy. I will say that I didn’t really care for Steve Carell ‘s supervillain accent in the film but once I got used to it it didn’t really bother me so much. I love the 3 little girl characters in the film … Agnes has to be one of the cutest little animated characters around. She really made me want to have a unicorn of my own … one that is really FLUFFFFFFFFFY! We all enjoyed the film, Tracey was blown away by the 3D effects … a great time was had by all. After the jump, check out a few more photos I snapped last night and meet a couple of Pink readers who I got to meet at Starbucks last night … Here is a cute photo of Tracey, David and me at the movies last night: And here is a really cute pic of me with Pink readers Erika and Ruben who I had the extreme pleasure of meeting at Starbucks just before the movie: Alas, Tracey’s visit is already over … she had to fly back to Detroit earlier today … but we did manage to snap one more photo before she left: It was great having her here for a few days … I’m looking forward to seeing her again when I go home to visit in early September. I don’t think David and I have any plans for tonight … it’s been a bizzy week, we may just chill at home tonight.

‘SAW 3D’ Releases More Motion Poster Artwork

Last week we got to see a very fun, very inventive 3D motion poster for the upcoming 7th SAW film titled SAW 3D . As you may recall, we also learned last week that SAW 3D will be the final installment of the SAW movie franchise … but it was the motion poster that really caught my eye . Today we get to see another motion poster for SAW 3D … this one professes to be mind-blowing: Tobin Bell is back (somehow) in Saw 3D, and this exclusive first look at the groovy motion poster is here to prepare us to have our minds blows. At San Diego Comic-Con we reported how the Saw franchise was dubbed the “most successful horror franchise” by the Guinness Book of World Records. This proves we’re not the only ones who equate the onset of Autumn’s cool breeze with changing leaves, pumpkin pie and the diobolical traps laid out for (mostly) deserving victims of the Saw films. All good things must come to an end, however, and the Saw films intend to go out with not only a bang, but a trans-planar leap into three dimensional space … Saw 3D is out in theaters on October 29. After the jump, check out the movie poster above in motion … So cool, I really love motion posters. To be honest, I think I prefer the eye-popping poster we saw last week to this one but this mind-blowing poster is very cool as well. I would love to see more 3D motion posters for SAW 3D in the coming weeks … I wonder what other body parts they might animate in future motion posters … any guesses? [ Source ]

Another Abusive & Racist Mel Gibson Recording Has Been Released

In what is becoming a sad daily occurrence, RadarOnline has released another audio recording that features actor Mel Gibson hurling extremely abusive and racist comments at his estranged babymama Oksana Grigorieva . Over the weekend a first recording was released that featured Gibson verbally attacking Grigorieva with heavily racist language and yesterday another recording was released that included even MORE abusive and threatening language . Today yet another tape has been released where Gibson refers to Grigorieva as a “whore” and refers to one of the couple’s Latina employees as a “wetback” . Here are the sad yet no-longer-shocking deets of this new recording: Mel Gibson is caught using yet another ethnic slur while going on a crazed rampage on new audio exclusively obtained and released by RadarOnline.com. During a bitter argument with Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his eight-month-old daughter Lucia, the embattled actor refers to a Latino worker as a “wetback” … “You’re a f*cking mentally deprived idiot,” Mel screams at one point. “You’re a f*cking using whore…I own you,” he rages. ”You don’t count.” Gibson argues with Grigorieva over someone who works at both their houses, and insists that the woman can work only at his house now. When Oksana says that she needs the worker because she has the baby, Mel explodes and calls the woman a “wetback.” The star is clearly heard on audio saying, “I will fire (name omitted) if she’s at your house. I will make it known and fire her. I’ll report her to the f *cking people that take f *cking money from the wetbacks, ok?” Toward the end of the tape Mel drops a strong hint that despite the tens of millions of dollars he’s made, he may be having financial problems. “I’m paying my tax money instead of the credit card (bill). Don’t you get it?!” he screams … “You made me moneyless.” You can read more about this latest recording and find out how Oksana fought back against Mel ‘s abuse, after the jump … Oksana tells Mel. “I used to have hundred thousand dollars a year when you met me. You took me, you possessed me. Everything I am you own me with my liver and my kidneys and my thoughts and my soul. Everything! My career, whatever it is. Pathetic career. Whatever it is, it’s yours. You control me like marionette. I don’t belong to myself, only to you. I can’t do anything and I walk on eggshells always with you! Mel, whose profane outbursts have shocked America, answers her: That’s because you’re a f *cking using whore! Now, I own you.” As they continue to argue, Mel loses control, screaming “f*ck you. You’re a f*cking whore.” He also accuses her of cheating. When Oksana tells Mel, “I’ve given you everything. I’ve been your woman. I’ve given you a child,” he simply explodes. “You would have done it for any f*cking (person),” Mel screams. “You probably f*cked (name omitted). I know you did.” The tape was recorded this year by Oksana. She told sources that she was scared for her life because Mel threatened to kill her. RadarOnline.com has released audio containing two death threats from Mel to Oksana … She says: “I’ve never had a bad word said about me in entire life. And then you’re telling me you’re taking away whatever pennies you’ve given me? I don’t have anything because I’ve given you my life. Three years now!” But Mel rages: “I gave you everything. Don’t you dare f*cking complain to me! I don’t f*ckin’ hear you! You don’t f *cking count! You’re a f*cking using whore!” … Oksana fights back, telling him he’s mentally ill and pointing out that she has no claim to his assets, saying “I’m not the whore and I’m not the bitch and I’m not the c*nt and I’m not the user and I’m not the thief and all those words. And I’m not a liar. All this, all this lies. All this lies. I’m not a whore or c*nt or thief or prostitute or anything that you call me. I’m not a user. I’m not a gold digger. I don’t have any money and no property assigned to me. That’s a gold digger for you? Are you insane? Yes, you are of course. We can hear that because you’re screaming.” … the ugliest and most vitriolic exchange is comes toward the end of the conversation when Mel launches into another rant and tells Oksana: “you f *ckin’ ignorant bitch?! I don’t understand you! You’re saying stupid sh*t! How dare you f *cking even insult me with some of the stupid reasoning you have? Your logic sucks, because you’re a f *cking mentally deprived idiot!” Ugh. Just … ugh. RadarOnline has made this new recording available on their site HERE . Should you choose to listen to it be warned, it contains very NSFW and IMHO very upsetting language. At this point, I think many of us have been desensitized to this level of verbal abuse from Gibson because it seems very clear that this is just the way he chooses to talk to the mother of his child when he thinks no one is listening. The level of hatred and violent language makes it very easy to believe Oksana ‘s claims that he physically abused her as well. It horrifies me to think that any anyone would be subjected to this level of abuse … I can’t even imagine what sorts of things Gibson says or does when he’s not ranting on the phone like a lunatic … it seems difficult to imagine that he would be able to control himself physically if he started to verbally assault her in this way in person. I believe this recording will be the last one to be released … but, for me, the irreparable damage was done with the first recording. It is my hope that each of the 3 recordings will serve to ensure that Mel Gibson never works in show-business again. But that is my personal belief … whether he makes movies again is beside the point. I know that I will never, ever support any of his projects. And I pray that Oksana and their baby daughter Lucia are kept safe from Gibson ‘s abusive anger. [ Source ]

Newlyweds Emily Blunt & John Krasinski Return To LA

Last weekend we learned that longtime couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski got themselves hitched in a private ceremony in Como, Italy and yesterday we got to see a couple snaps from the actual ceremony . Today we get to see the first photos of Mr. and Mrs. John Krasinski making their grand return to LA as they arrived at LAX Airport yesterday with wedding bling blinging: It’s unclear if the couple are just passing thru LA on their way to their final honeymoon destination (which is exactly what other newlyweds Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher did a couple of days ago after they got married last weekend as well ) or if they have returned home to begin their wedded life together but it’s good to see them back in SoCal. Emily and John are such a great couple … I know they will be very happy together forever. Welcome home and congrats again!! [Photo credit: Splash News ]
