How bad does a mother/daughter relationship have to be when it seems their main form of communication is Twitter? That seems to be the current state of the relationship between rocker Courtney Love and her only child, Frances Bean Cobain. Frances Bean hasn’t had an easy life. Her father, Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, killed himself in 1994, when she was just two-years-old.

Don’t believe the rumors: Natalie Portman is not the mystery woman behind Sean Penn’s divorce. At least that’s what the breathtakingly gorgeous actress maintains. In an effort to set the record straight, Portman recently broke her rule about speaking to the press about her personal life, so she could clear up reports that claim she broke up Penn’s marriage to actress Robin Wright-Penn.

However, Spears’ rep says Britney is not planning to add to her family anytime soon. (Despite the … Continue reading
