Yeah, I'm a bit in the same boat. It feels sort of icky.

If there's anything as outrageously, awesomely cool as a group of bearded men making a window in their day to record deeply personal criticisms of the actions and appearance of a teenage girl they are in no way related to, I can't think of it.

Excellent work, chaps.

Edit: Just saw the pic and she really does look like her father.

You got a crazy mom and a dad who killed himself when you were an infant, and a bunch of internet dudes saying shit about you on the internet all the time.

And you're only 16, rich as shit, with a license to do absolutely nothing.

Yet she goes and does something.

So good for her.

Totally agree with this.

I always hate hearing or reading anything that bashes children of well known people. It's not like the children have anything to do with the reasons the celebrity is hated by others; instead, they are bashed by proxy for the sins of their parents, which I think is a small minded, cowardly thing to do, and often has to do with resentment on the part of the person doing the bashing, for not having what these children have.

This kind of bashing is so clearly rooted, most of the time, in the petty resentments of people who want, but don't have, what others have, that it is, for the most part, completely transparent to me.

I remember one guy who used to come into work, who always used to say shit about Chelsea Clinton, when she was, maybe, 10 or 12 years old, maybe younger, simply because he hated Bill and Hillary. It certainly made me think less of him, and I really can't say I had a high opinion of him to begin with.

Maybe some of these children are coddled, smug, and insulated from the problems of the real world; so what. They really didn't have a choice as to what they are born into, or who their parents are.

If, somewhere down the line, after they have grown up, and done something that deserves derision, sure, bash them, if they really deserve it; to bash them as children is pretty low class, in my opinion.

Self-righteous, smug jerks, at any income level, always piss me off.

Frances Bean Cobain is a-okay in my book. I third tmidgett's statement.

It will be good for her to, like, get deep into the scene, man. Free tix to Lenny Kravitz Presentz Axe Body Spray Night Spritz? Killer.

...And I'll wait for her nude appearance in either a Larry Clark film or Richard Kern book before offering a would/not vote.

There has been criticism of this thread... I would just like to clarify that I was busting on Rolling Stone for using FBC, and that women in 'underground' culture have plenty of artistes like Kern and Clark to exploit them after they're of legal age.

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more.

Not wait hang on, one more:

She should have been a son.

She's getting work experience because she knows she'll have to support Mom one day.

Jeez guys...some of us are just funnin'. I'm sure most of us don't really have anything personal against the youngun Co-bayne gally.

And the one modelly-type photo is kinda hot.

That being said- given appearances- I still kinda hope she takes more after her dad than her mom.

And no, I don't mean dead.
