US Weekly had this little picture to share of Courtney Love and her daughter Frances Bean Cobain, who just may have had a “generational icon” type of dad.

Here’s the thing – around the time of “The People vs. Larry Flint,” somehow everyone was just talking how hot Courtney Love was. It seemed she was some kind of god send. Maybe it was the whole “death cry of grunge” thing that ensured that junkie train wreck was the new Kate Moss (how prophetic…).

Since then, Love has been nothing if not consistent. It doesn’t matter if it’s the babydoll dresses or Versace … she still manages to look like she just crawled out of skid row.

As reported in the UK edition of Vogue (and some other dotted places along the so called “blog-o-sphere”), little Frances, who turned 14 three days ago, she doesn’tt always appreciate her mother’s style. Taking quotes from her new interview in Teen Vogue, she says, “I don’t like to look sloppy. I’m a girly-girl.” And of course, it gets deeper into mom’s style (or sometimes lack of). “I prefer when she’s more classy starlet,” she goes on. “I don’t really like her hard-metal stuff, or when she doesn’t brush her hair.” She probably, then, doesn’t like it either when mom lets homeless people suckle on the “Love fountains” (clever, eh?) in a Wendys. Here’s the link to the Vogue blurb on it.

Project Runway host Heidi Klum and husband Seal (real name: Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel) announced this past June that they are expecting the birth of their second child since getting married last year. They already have an 11-month-old son together named Henry Guenther Ademola Dashtu Samuel (yes, all of those are one child) and Heidi also has a 2 year old daughter, Leni, from a previous relationship. People reports Heidi said in an interview with Life magazine “We want to have a lot more children,” and also “(Seal) always says he finds me the most beautiful when I’m pregnant.”

Heidi, 33, originates from Germany and Seal, 43, from Britain. Apparently the family attracts a lot of interest in Europe and Heidi wasn’t always sure if that was a good thing or not- especially regarding one headline referring to them as “The Patchwork Family.” But after talking things over with Seal she says “It’s actually kind of great – we’re all different shades and we came together and we all love each other.”

I personally think this story is great on a couple different levels- a woman feeling and looking beautiful while pregnant (even if she is already a supermodel!) and people of “different shades” (Heidi and Seal couldn’t be more opposite on the color spectrum) coming together and loving each other. And I must admit I’m super curious: What do they plan to name their newest addition? And does Leni feel left out not having so many names?

Even the people who hate “American Idol” know the stars of it – Clay Aiken, Ruben, that guy who sings in Ford commercials. But perhaps nobody has stolen our hearts more than Kelly Clarkson – and why not, she’s completely adorable. But behind that “Since U Been Gone” sheen, it seems there’s a burgeoning rock girl.

Just watch this video. At a Los Angeles performance by kitsch metal cover band Metal Skool, the band members spot a not-so-sober Clarkson, and her puppy Ryan Key. From there, they are egged onto the stage, where after a few jovial come-ons they suggest Clarkson should sing. Key takes this as his invitation as well … but not before they both chug-a-lug a little whiskey straight from the bottle.

What results is the most bizarre and glorious version of the Guns ‘n’ Roses classic “Sweet Child of Mine.” Warning that the language is a little rough at times, so if you’re at work, at least put in some headphones.

According to MSN News police announced today that rapper Busta Rhymes has been arrested and charged with assault.
Details at this point are sketchy, but we do know that the arrest occured related to an attack that happened about one week previously.

Busta Rhymes has been in the news for violence a lot lately. In February, one of his bodyguards was shot and killed outside a studio in Brookyln while Busta was making a music video. Then in March, a fan sued Busta after he claimed Busta and a bodyguard beat him after he asked for Busta’s autograph.

Beating a fan who asks for an autograph? That just can’t be good for business. But I’m not going to say that to Busta, of course.

Last weekend, while promoting her new album A Public Affair, Jessica Simpson was spotted at the L.A. hotspot Hyde Lounge partying with a group of her friends and some mystery man she must like quite a bit. People reports the two were seen canoodling at a table in the club, and the phrases “touchy-feely” and “lovey-dovey” were used to describe their behavior that night.

Despite what people say, Jessica is apparently “not dating anybody” and “is really enjoying the single life.” Regardless, she’s also been busy promoting her album, earlier that weekend making an appearance in West Hollywood to sing a few songs and even a rendition of “Amazing Grace” at The Factory.

Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with hanging out with a guy you like but she’s gotta know that everybody’s wondering who he is. But maybe that’s what she wants? She has been pretty successful in the publicity department over the years. Oh well I’m sure we’ll hear about him soon enough if he’s in the picture for more than just that night, and in the meantime thanks to them both for giving me an excuse to use the word “canoodle!”
