All those professional celebrity psychologists are going to have a Field Day with this one: Frances Bean Cobain has been going out with Isaiah Silva, frontman for the Los Angeles band The Rambles, for almost two years, and Yep, he looks more than a little bit like her late dad, Kurt Cobain. So that’s a little bit creepy, but what we’re hearing now is even creepier! Apparently, the 19-year-old could be planning to marry her dad lookalike boyfriend!
When it comes to performing, Miley Cyrus better stick to her original material. The former Hannah Montana starlet’s version of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” has been named the “Worst Cover Ever” in a new poll conducted by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Well here’s one The Psychic Friends Network couldn’t have predicted: “Miley Cyrus covers ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit….’” Disney baddie Miley Cyrus has always been fond of crediting Grunge God Kurt Cobain and his trailblazing Seattle band, Nirvana, with inspiring her to lift her voice (which sounds suspiciously like that of a 55-year-old chain smoker…) and sing.
We’re still trying to decide whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Kurt Cobain died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head 17 years ago this week. Never one to shy away from controversy, actor Jared Leto has risked incurring the wrath of devoted Nirvana fans by releasing this video, in which he impersonates the “(Smells Like) Teen Spirit” star. Leto looks very much like the late Nirvana frontman as he performs an acoustic version of one of his songs. The actor and “30 Seconds to Mars” singer, as you may recall, is the top choice of Cobain’s wacked-out widow Courtney Love to play the tragic musician in a proposed film about his life.
Before Kurt Cobain became the ’90s’ Poster Child for teenage angst and angry youth, the Nirvana frontman wrote a theme song for the colorful animated series Ren & Stimpy that was rejected by the show’s bosses.
