Good Monday evening, kids. Hope your weekend was good.
Courtney Love is being sued by her daughter's ex-husband, who has alleged that Love conspired to have him murdered. The civil complaint, filed in Los Angeles County, claims the conspiracy was undertaken in order to take possession of Kurt Cobain's 1959 Martin D-18E guitar used during Nirvana's MTV Unplugged appearance in 1993, which is said to be worth millions.
13 Reasons Why actor Ross Butler is also accused of being a part of the conspiracy, as is former Britney Spears manager Sam Lutfi- who was accused of kidnapping, attempted murder, false imprisonment, extortion, and supplying drugs to Frances Bean Cobain.
Since Cobain and Isaiah Silva split in 2016, the guitar has been a point of contention in the couple's divorce settlement. Love calls the guitar a "treasured heirloom of the family" and said "it's not (Silva's) to take," though Silva claims in court papers that Cobain gave him the guitar as a gift 2014.
I gotta tell you, reading through the rest of this story- which involves kidnapping, death threats against Silva and his daughter, and veiled references to Kurt Cobain's mother reportedly saying that Love was involved in her son's death (something pretty much everyone else has said, too)- it's probably not a good idea to get on Courtney and Frances' bad side.
TMZ reports that Janet Jackson called Malibu child welfare authorities to check on her one year-old son- who was staying with her ex-husband at the Nobu Hotel. Jackson was reportedly worried that her ex- Wissam Al Mana- was using drugs while the child was present.
Police said they found no one in danger and suggested that the parties handle the matter personally.
(Pssst... Al Mana... you might want to read that story above this one...)
