The late Nirvana frontman — a pioneer of the grunge music phenomenon of the 1990s — is being introduced to a new generation of music lovers in Guitar Hero 5, a game produced by Activision.

“Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Lithium” are just a few of the songs Cobain fans can get to experiment with in the new game. Kurt Cobain died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1993. Other late music legends, like rocker Jimi Hendrix and country star Johnny Cash, join Cobain in the game.

Courtney Love has put down her crack pipe long enough to realize that someone has stolen $30 million of her late husband’s estate.

When Nirvana star Kurt Cobain died in 1994, he left his $500 million fortune behind for the benefit of his mother, two sisters, a brother, his wife Courtney, and their young daughter, Frances Bean. But attorneys representing Courtney claim a sizable portion of the estate is missing.

“Many of those [involved with] the estate’s coffers mismanaged, stole and outright looted it shamelessly,” Love’s lawyer, Rhonda J. Holmes, of Gordon & Holmes in San Diego, told Page Six on Tuesday.

“I have never seen such greed and moral turpitude. This case is going to make Bernard Madoff look warm and fuzzy…..We will be filing civil cases . . . within the next 30 days. There are many, many millions missing. We’ve only been able to track down $30 million, but there is more. And then there is the real estate.”

Some German chick wants to smoke Kurt Cobain.

German artist Natascha Stellmach says to be in possession of the Nirvana frontman’s ashes and will smoke a portion of them in a marijuana joint during an art exhibition in Berlin on October 11.

Kurt ashes were reportedly stolen from the Los Angeles home of the rocker’s widow,Courtney Love, last June–a claim the troubled Love vehemently denies.

When Stellmach was quizzed about how she acquired the ashes, she simply said: “That’s confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free.”

She says smoking the ashes “represents both the completion of the conceptual project and the final act in an exhibition bound to provoke wide public debate.”

Stellmach’s five part exhibition is entitled Set Me Free, with a final act which she claims “will release Cobain from the media circus and into the ether”, reports Uncut.

When she was asked how she came to acquire the ashes, she said: “That’s confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free.”

The artist intends to smoke a joint which she claims contains Cobain’s remains in the final act of her work entitled Gone.

Frances Bean Cobain hosted a suicide-themed party in celebration of her sixteenth birthday earlier this month.

The only daughter of unstable rockette Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain invited guests to the “RIP Childhood” party, where they required to wear red and black, and participate in a “Who Can Look Most Dead” costume competition.

Frances’ dad, Kurt, committed suicide by shotgun blast in 1994, following a lenghty history of drug abuse.

The ashes of late Nirvana star Kurt Cobain have been swiped from the Hollywood mansion of Kurt’s eccentric widow, rocker Courtney Love. Courtney kept the grudge legend’s ashes and a lock of hair in a pink teddy bear-shaped bag in her home. She was “horrified” to arrive home a couple of weeks ago to find the bag, along with several thousand dollars in jewelry and others valuables, missing. A devastated Courtney has reportedly been left “suicidal” by the theft.

According to NOTW:

“I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me,” Courtney is said to have told a friend.

“”They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me…..Now it feels like I have lost him all over again…..I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal. If I don’t get them back I don’t know what I’ll do.”

Kurt Cobain, who long struggled with heroin addiction, committed suicide by shotgun in 1994. The ashes of the “(Smells Like) Teen Spirit” star with scattered in a Buddhist temple in New York, others were scattered in the Wishkah River near his home in Washington State, the rest remained with Courtney.

Courtney Love has asked Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Gosling to star in a movie based on life of her late husband Kurt Cobain; the Nirvana star committed suicide in 1993. Entitled Heavier Than Heaven, the biopic is based on a biography of Kurt written with Courtney’s help.

“…Courtney really admires Scarlett and has already sent the contract out for her to sign. “She wants the best actors to portray them – she will be on set all the time giving Scarlett and Ryan advice on what it was like being one part of the most notorious couples since Sid and Nancy. It will be explosive.”

Fifteen year old Frances Bean Cobain, the only child of raging rockers Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is rumored to the next Chanel spokesmodel. With a name like Frances Bean, she’d better become a model.

According to Models Blog:

Rock Royalty and daughter of Courtney Love and passed Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, Frances Bean, the girl with possibly the world’s coolest ancestry, is said to be the next in CHANEL celebrity endorsers, accepting an offer to promote the label in 2008. The fifteen year old, who recently denied rumors she is dating Jack Osbourne, is said to be “overwhelmed” by the prospect, but looks forward to “what the CHANEL experience may offer.”

Courtney Love has stated she has plans to auction off most of the belongings of her late husband, rocker Kurt Cobain.

The forty-two year old told AOL music that she has talked with Christies about an auction, but that there has not been a date announced for the event. Love, who rose to fame as the lead singer for the band Hole and her problems with drugs, married Cobain (the lead singer for the influential Seattle grunge band Nirvana) in 1992. The couple had a daughter, Frances Bean, the same year. Rock fans around the world were shocked when Cobain committed suicide in 1994.

In the interview, Love stated she wanted to hold the auction because her daughter didn’t need items that belong to her dad – like flannel shirts. However, Love said she had no plans to auction a sweater and a guitar that belong to Cobain. She also stated she will keep the lyric sheets for Cobain’s “(Smells Like) Teen Spirit.”

Would anyone else like a posthumous release of new-to-us music? Beethoven maybe? Kurt Cobain had his, and now we have the American V: A Hundred Highways by the long-gone Johnny Cash.

Cash was a music hero, yes. Cash’s life just made millions in the box office. His fans are thrilled to have one last piece of the man’s talented work. But can’t we let him R.I.P.? We know exactly how messed up his life was, so he certainly earned it. I hope they are donating his share of the profits to a cause, Narc Anon would be appropriate
