Remember when you were fourteen and you really, really wanted to go on that ski weekend with your rich best friend Shayna and her super cool family, but your parents muttered something about "Christmas with your grandparents" or whatever and you yelled, "You are the worst parents ever!"? Try telling that story to Frances Cobain. She'd probably laugh and laugh and then spit in your face. And then Courtney Love would come in and throw bloody tampons at the both of you.
At yesterday's Page Six book club, Richard Johnson and Cindy Adams and the gang sipped oolong tea and munched sugar cookies while discussing the wacky antics of those crazy Cobains:
In "Nirvana – The Biography," author Everett True describes how Cobain and Love both ended up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. within days of each other in August 1992 – the grunge rocker checking in for a 60-day heroin detox stint and Love, a few days later, for complications arising from her pregnancy.Two weeks into his stay, Love found herself about to go into labor. According to True: "Courtney – never one to miss an opportunity for drama – grabbed her intravenous drip stand at 4 in the morning, and wheeled it down the corridors to where Kurt was staying. 'You get out of out of this bed and come down now!' she screamed. 'You are not leaving me to do this by myself, [bleep] you!'
"Her husband followed her to the delivery room – weakened from his treatment, and hooked up to an IV stand himself – and passed out just moments before Frances was born." Then things got even weirder when, as Courtney related to True, "I'm having the baby, it's coming out, [Kurt's] puking, he's passing out and I'm holding his hand and rubbing his stomach while the baby's coming out."
We hear the chapter on Frances's conception ends in much the same way.
