Dear Frances Bean Cobain: You are too young to be smoking!!!

Can you say: ILLEGAL!

Frances, who JUST turned 17 this month, was out with some friends in Manhattan Saturday when the photogs caught her sucking ash!

What would your mother say?

Oh, wait, you're Courtney Love's kid. Yeah, she probably bought the cigs for you. Nevermind.

    6. 6

      Same thing your mom said when she found the stash of Ball Club Quarterly mags in your sock drawer mario.



    7. 7

      OK PErez, you never had a smoke when you were 17?



    8. 8

      Love her outfit!!



    9. 9

      It's apparent, she wasn't raised too well. Only a matter of time til the crash and burn.



    10. 10

      She's mad pretty who cares if she smokes at 17 I started smoking at 14.



    11. 11

      WOW, SHE IS BLINDINGLY WHITE.



    14. 14

      Come on Frances!
      You're better than that (besides the fact you have an awful mom), and you seem to try to stay out of the headlines, unlike Courtney.
      And its not good for you at all.
      Just don't start parting like those skanks Rumer and Lindsay.



    15. 15

      whatever..



    16. 16

      talk about NASTY i mean JUST TURNED 17 and already smoking by the time she hits 18 she is going to look like in she is in her 20s and she will prob get lung cancer WHERE ARE THIS GIRL'S PARENTS?…o wait i forgot this is hollywood LINDSAY HOhan is a perfect example of this category type of hollywood trainreck

      I'm upset. I was hoping she'd live a backlash to her parent's history of abuse. Judging by her entire look and vibe, I would say she is on their path. Sad. So sad.



    18. 18

      PEOPLE SMOKE, PEREZ.



    19. 19

      A side by side photo of this pic and another one in 20 years will be quite interesting.



    20. 20

      Not surprised. With the family she came from, I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up in rehab before 25.



    21. 21

      She seems quite normal for the mother she has, though.

      And, many 17 year olds smoke. It's not uncommon.



    22. 22

      seriously this is getting super annoying, as an ex smoker myself i would say 15-21 is the age range when people are most likely to smoke. some, like me, quit when they get a bit older, and others with more addictive personality types carry on with it. you can bitch about how yucky you think it is all you want, it won't stop young people who want to smoke from smoking. if anything, i have found that the more you hector smokers the more they want to smoke, and preferably near you so they can blow it in your face. so shut up about it already, please.



    23. 23

      Still no icon, Perez?



    24. 24

      It's not about your upbringing as to why you smoke. People have perfectly fine upbringings and smoke at the age of 13 or even younger.
      OH AND YOU SLATE EVERYONE FOR SMOKING PEREZ BUT NOT ONCE HAVE YOU EVER SLATED YOUR BUM BUDDY LADY GAGA FOR HER SMOKING ANTICS.

      a ciggie means shit when you were born a heroin baby

      Re: Queen of the Highway to Hell
      Yes, but UNDERAGE people shouldn't.
      I hope you don't have the same approach to sex, drugs and alcohol.



    27. 27

      whenever i see her i can only think about kurt …. he was hoot ! :(



    28. 28

      If smoking a "regular" cigarette is the WORST thing Frances Bean Cobain is doing, it's a miracle, given who she had/has for parents. Poor kid was doomed to become an addict of some sort before long…



    29. 29

      Oh, but some Hollywood sell-out bitch named Jessicka Fodera told her she was wise beyond her years, so it's alright!



    30. 30

      uhh… it's not illegal to smoke cigarettes at 17… it's illegal to buy cigarettes… tobacco isn't treated like alcohol, at least not in PA



    31. 31

      I can think of something worse than a 17 year old girl smoking; a grown man (you look about 40, Perez) picking on a 17 year old girl on the internet. She's a teenager, teenagers do that kind of thing…



    32. 32

      Stop now. Not cool. Stupid.



    33. 33

      shes ugly



    34. 34

      I hate when I see young kids smoking. It just makes me sad. :( I never did smoke myself, and am so glad I never picked up the habit. Hopefully that's the worst of it for her…she has probably had more than a normal amount of stress already in life!

    35. Laury says – reply to this


      35

      Oh, like you're so fucking perfect Perez. Yeah, people shouldn't smoke, especially teens, but you know what??? Some of them do. Big fucking deal. I'm pretty sure you have a couple unhealthy habits yourself Perez so look at yourself in the mirror before judging people. And I'd love to see you being raised by a fuck-up like Courtney Love, I'm pretty sure you'd be doing cocaine everyday by now.



    36. 36

      Isn't it ok to smoke if your 16 just can't buy until 18?



    37. 37

      she does look like Brew Darrymore! that's who i thought it was until I read the article..

      but seriously Im 19 and when I was 17 half my school was smoking so it really isnt a big deal anymore.. and so what if her mom buys her cigs for her it's her mom's choice to do so and not yours



    38. 38

      ::im 17, and everyone i know smokes. haha its gettin really common…::

      Uh, I don't know what you're talking about, smoking rates have dramatically decreased so it's actually becoming uncommon. That said, I lost my dad and both of my grandparents to smoking and I have a young uncle who is dying, all because of cigarettes. So forgive me if I don't think it's a laughing matter. To see your loved ones wither away and have to live with oxygen tanks and collapsed lungs really changes you. Have fun 17 year olds, that's what you have to look forward to.



    39. 39

      People who smoke are idiots, especially considering all the chemicals that are in them.

      Give her a freaking break. Its the least of her problems. Besides…if she quits ten years from now she'll be fine. She's gotta get the badass out of her system.



    41. 41

      Hey Stupid….not illegal to smoke them. Illegal to buy them. and what do you care.



    42. 42

      From the nose up, she looks like her father. She's got his squint.



    43. 43

      Even worse than the cigarette…is the hideous dress/brown belt vomitous combo & the audacity to then carry a BLACK bag, oh my mistake that co-ordinated with the black thongs…For Fucks Sake…



    44. 44

      Just wanted to add that smoking used to be MUCH more common. In my parents' generation (baby boomers) nearly everyone smoked. In college I did not have one friend that smoked. My friends partied, but did not smoke, so it really is much less common than it used to be.



    45. 45

      Re: xmichyx – You are an idiot. Do you even know who she is to be asking where are her parents. You are a great example of why people who do not know what the fuck they are talking about should not be posting comments.



    46. 46

      She's GORGEOUS! Come on, its not like you never smoked cigs when you were a teen.. hell, I smoked when I was 13 and haven't touched it since.



    47. 47

      DAMN — I HATE reading all the NEGATIVITY everyone is writing towards her. Give her a fucking break!



    48. 48

      You're kidding right? A cig? That's a blessing for this kid. You may be too young to remember Perez, but this kid was born a JUNKY. It really is a miracle that she's normal & doesn't have any brain damage. I'm being serious. Courtney Love was way more F-ed up than she is now. This kid was born with all kinds of tubes hooked up to her after she came out. With both parents being a Junky& she was born addicted, I'm really surprised she's not already screwed up. :-(



    49. 49

      Well, let's see…her dad committed suicide and her mom is junkie and you are ragging on her for smoking? Nice.



    50. 50

      With a Mom like Courtney Love she is lucky that the only thing she is smoking is a cigarette. THIS IS WHY PARENTS NEED TO STOP SMOKING WHEN THEY HAVE KIDS!



    51. 51

      Re: litzie – She was born one. She was addicted at birth.



    52. 52

      aw, she's so pretty. And yeah, if she wasn't the love child of Kurt and Courtney this wouldn't be such a big deal. I smoked when I was 17, it didn't last long. A lot of the time it's just a phase.



    53. 53

      Mind your own fucking business Mario! pinche gordo pendejo



    54. 54

      Re: Taffernoodles – agreed.



    55. 55

      honestly she could be doing worse considering who her mom is…=/



    56. 56

      Re: Taffernoodles – totally agree with u, i just truned 18 and i started smoking ocasionally when i was almost 17, plus here in spain we start very young, i was actually late, but i dont have an addictive personality cause i can spend months without smoking, this vacations for example with my parents…. leave her alone perez!

      57

      hey, if smoking is all she's doing in comparison to her parents' drug use, then kudos are in order.



    58. 58

      Shit, if my mom was Courtney Love, I'd need to smoke too just to keep myself calm!!



    59. 59

      Re: the squirrel

      Yeah, something to be proud of… are you looking forward to your respirator yet?



    60. 60

      I hope she's still in school, not depressed, and thinking ahead to college and a career because another thing she inherited is big time brains and creativity. I wish her well and want to see her in a bright future with good friends she can trust.



    61. 61

      She's cute…but she needs to stop smoking.



    62. 62

      That is not the worst habit to pick up from Courtney Love. She's not the only 17 year old celebs kid caught smoking: Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough (Lisa Marie Presley), and my favorite Dakota Johnson (Whose mother Melanie Griffith lit up her then 17 year old daughters cig). NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!



    63. 63

      As long as she's not doing black tar heroin, I think she's ahead of the game, given her parentage.



    64. 64

      Why people continue to pick up smoking is beyond me!
      .

      You're killing the brain cells that you obviously need!!!!



    65. 65

      I just want to buy the girl a bottle of self tanner.



    66. 66

      Ha ha, I like Franc 'n Bean, she's a little bit cute and dirty. I'd sure enjoy watching her give some dude a smoking blow job, I bet she'd be good at it, the little slut ha ha.

    69. 69

      Just because she's underage to purchase tobacco doesn't mean that it's illegal for her to actually smoke at her age. I don't know what the age limit is in New York, but it varies from place to place.



    70. 70

      It's illegal to purchase, not smoke them. Idiot.



    71. 71

      i went to camp with her and she was an amazing girl. she's looking great nowadays too.



    72. 72

      She looks amazing. What a beautiful girl.



    73. 73

      I RATHER HER SMOKE THEN DO DRUGS. BTW, KATE WINSLET SMOKES LIKE A CHIMNEY.



    74. 74

      I WORE THOSE BLACK BOOTS 1986



    75. 75

      So her dad is dead her mum is one cool but hot crazy mess and you pick on the girl for underage smoking your a jerk Perez or who ever the hell is pretending to be you today! Perez who are you the Church or something ?
      *
      CAN YOU SAY ?: PEREZ IS TURNING INTO THE MORAL POLICE ?

      OR EVEN BETTER,: PEREZ IS ACTING LIKE A FUCKHEAD!



    76. 76

      technically not illegal
      legal smoking age is 16 but to buy cigarettes you gotta be 19
      and the tobacco industry says they don't intend for children to smoke
      HA!



    77. 77

      Re: CuddlyCarla – Well said. I've a couple of relative die from smoking too. That is one reason why I don't smoke. It's a choice for me.
      But, if it's ok with her mom then there is nothing anyone can do. I hope she
      does not upgrade to anything else. Good luck!



    78. 78

      Honestly, who cares? I started smoking at 14, then quit at 19 — cold turkey. Smoking cigarettes is no way to gauge someone's life, it doesn't mean she's going to end up shooting heroin. Get a grip. It's what teenagers do.

      79

      Leave her alone! she's been through a lot in her life time. its a damn smoke really that is worth gossip?? like thats the worst things celebrities are doing right now! Perez many other things you should be reporting on!



    80. 80

      who cares



    81. 81

      Put a pic up of your hideous Gaga goof smoking and say the same thing..although gaga is older and knows better..Frances is a product of early nineties punk rock parents who were incredibly famous. Famous and drug users. Aside from having famous parents, she hasn't done anything notable yet. Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE Nirvana fan, and its fasinating to see Kurts daughter grown up now, but really,she's a 17 year old girl. A 17 year old girl who grew up in media spotlight from the SECOND she was born…I wouldn't doubt she's having a bit of an identity crisis..so ya, smoking is wrong..but she's not in rehab for a drug abuse problem, so maybe leave her alone.



    82. 82

      I wonder if she has any of her fathers talent.

      He may have been overrated a bit, but the dude was truly talented, and one of the last decent alt rock musicians to break into the world of mainstream rock. I mean Nirvana made all of the newer musicians you usually talk about look like contestants for a pre-school talent show.



    83. 83

      it's just a friggin' cigarette. I bet nobody on here smoked before they were of legal age.



    84. 84

      re: redred1. Where are you getting information that Frances Bean was born addicted to anything? I've never heard that.



    85. 85

      Get off your high horse fatso. Where do you get off attacking people's lifestyle choices you obese turd. Who died and made you God?



    86. 86

      This is sad, and very disappointing.



    87. 87

      she kinds allot like bonnie wright from harry potter. i think



    88. 88

      Smoking is so sickening. YUCK!



    89. 89

      She's got tattoo's too. Are you going to tell her mum? lol



    90. 90

      stop hating on courtney all the time! it's really getting tired. i mean really, the girl is smoking and she's 17. smoking is disgusting at any age but come on, look at the rest of the real world and get over it



    91. 91

      it's NOT illegal for a 17 year old to smoke. on;y only illegal to buy smokes. legaly you can smoke at 16. FACT!



    92. 92

      To each their own - gives you wrinkles though - oh sorry forgot botox!



    93. 93

      she's a doll and i love her. and if that's all she's doing, thank god for that. we all know courtney is like, insane, but hopefully that taught her daughter well enough



    94. 94

      and btw, although she is "of age," do you think it's really any less disgusting to have your pale bony ass hanging out for the world to see when go grocery shopping (hello, your beloved lady gaga).. i mean really, get off your high horse … oh and another thing, saw a reel of you on chelsea lately and though your blogs are super funny most of the time, you SUCK on live TV… startled looking much???



    95. 95

      are u serious perez?? im pretty sure me and more then half of my friends parents all started smoking when there like 12. and EVERYONE was smoking in jr high when i was 14.. wtf are u talking about.



    96. 96

      perez SHUT THE FUCK UP!

      what is wrong with you dude….. seriously

      why say she is doing something that ISNT ILLEGAL!

      you should apoligise…. but you wont… fucking Waster



    97. 97

      its nice for you that you dont smoke but stfu.its a free country,everybody can do what he wants to do so….



    98. 98

      Re: xmichyx – You don't know where her parents are?
      lol



    99. 99

      I wonder if your "Nevermind" comment is reference to the Nirvana album…? Whatever. Frances is the offspring of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, she's bound to be absolutely beautiful. And you always criticize people for their smoking habits, but what about your gaga doll, huh?



    100. 100

      THIS BITCH IS RETARDED. KURT COBAIN IS OVERRATED AND COURTNEY LOVES SNATCH SMELLS LIKE SOMEONE POURED SEWER RUN OFF INTO IT
