- Frances Bean Cobain Models Again, Channels 30s Glamour  Last week, the entire blogosphere stopped en masse to stare with wonder and exhilaration at a young woman named Frances Bean Cobain, who looked defiantly out of  shots done by designer/photographer Hedi Slimane . Today, we received another batch of Frances Bean images, this time from Los Angeles photographer (and friend)  - Rocky Schenck . The shoots could not be more different: Slimane's are rough and stark, while Schenck's show Frances as a glamorous, slightly tortured beauty. Loosely tied hair, pouting lips, vintage outfits instead of ripped and torn T-shirts. Though not channeling her rocker history, these pictures are just as alluring. Frances Bean, unlike her counterparts Jagger or Osbourne or Leon, is a relative unknown. Sure, there was her parents' infamy and the Kurt Cobain tragedy, but we don't see her in the Page Sixes and gossip magazines...as strangely familiar as her face may be. How did this

- Courtney Love, the widow of iconic Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, named a list of her favourite songs ever created by the grunge pioneers. The Hole frontwoman, who first met Cobain at Portland’s Satyricon nightclub in January 1990, was married for two years after getting wed on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii in 1992. Their relationship was fast and furious, built around intense creativity and heavy touring amid major commercial success through both bands. While reflection on her career and life as part of an Instagram live Q&A, Love was drawn into a conversation about some of her favoured Nirvana tracks for the first time. - Perhaps unsurprisingly, Love picked out ‘Heart Shaped Box’ taken from 1993 album  In Utero , a track which she attempted to get her hands on while she heard Cobain writing the riff. “We had this huge closet,” she recalled in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1994. “And I heard him in there working on Heart-Shaped Box. He did that in five minutes. [I went] Kno

- Kurt Cobain was one of the most influential and adored musicians of his generation. The American singer-songwriter was the lead singer of Nirvana and the silent rock god and grunge icon of the alternative music scene of the 90s. - Cobain formed Nirvana with Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington in 1985 and established it as part of the Seattle music scene. Even though the band released only three albums together, Nirvana is one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold over 75 million records worldwide. Kurt Cobain took his own life on April 5, 1994, after years of drug abuse and an unsuccessful attempt to complete a rehab program.  “Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I’m too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don’t have the passion anymore, and so remember, it’s better to burn out than to fade away,”  he wrote on his suicide note. -

- The band Kurt Cobain called the "best in the world" Grunge rock’s most attractive and romantic frontman, Kurt Cobain, had a penchant for the ugly, the obscene, and the poetic. He was sort of a walking dichotomy; he hated the mainstream, he hated fame, but he also wanted both.   When Nirvana started touring , Cobain took initiative and worked diligently to make music his career. Cobain didn’t really have anything else but music and, prior to the band taking off commercially, he had worked as a janitor at his old high school and was also homeless and lived under a bridge for a while. In addition to his music, Cobain also drew and painted pictures; his art frequently incorporated themes of anorexia, death, and mental illness – all of which Cobain flirted with at some point in his life. In his worst times, Cobain was heavily malnourished and while his height was 5 feet and 9 inches, he weighed around 120 to 130 pounds. Later in his life, Cobain became a known heroin user and s

- Kurt Cobain named most beautiful man in the history by scientists Seattle heartthrob Kurt Cobain has been crowned the world's sexiest man by scientists. The 27-year-old Nirvana's star beat out fellow hunks Brad Pitt and David Beckham in a study that rated the allure of top celebs based on a measure of their "physical perfection". - The ratio marks someone's physical attractiveness by taking into account measurements of their lips, chin, eyes, and other facial features: - The Witcher star Henry Cavill was second with 91.64 per cent, Bradley Cooper was third with 91.08 per cent and Brad Pitt, tipped for an Oscar for his supporting role in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, was fourth with 90.51 per cent. Previous winner George Clooney, the oldest star on the list, slumped to fifth place - largely because of the effect of ageing on the 58-year-old had resulted in a loss of volume in the face, giving him a score of 89.91 per cent. 14 The Witcher star Henry Cavill
