Courtney Love and daughter Frances Bean Cobain for are helping out the city of Seattle as they face a legal challenge over the graphic photos from Cobain's death scene.
According to The Blast, Richard Lee has long investigated the notion that Cobain did not kill himself and has avidly sought to have the death photos made public, going so far as to sue the city of Seattle in 2014 in an attempt to have the photos released. Love and Cobain have reportedly filed a response for the city in their legal battle in which they state they would suffer "substantial and irreparable damage" if the photos ever were released. Lee lost his case in 2015, but filed an appeal last year, with Love and Cobain issuing their new response as a way of fighting the appeal. In the documents, it states that the release of the photos "would not only exacerbate the post-traumatic stress Frances Bean Cobain has suffered since childhood but physically endanger her and her her mother by encouraging more disturbed stalkers and fanatical threats." In April 2016, Love filed a declaration accusing Lee of attempting to exploit Cobain's death, adding that Lee had stalked and harassed her family and friends for years. "Mr. Lee's actions make me fear for my safety," stated Love in the declaration. Seattle police did release some photos of Cobain's shotgun back in 2016, and additional photos have turned up in the years prior.

Grab tickets for the tour here. Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo announced on Tuesday (Oct. 31) that she will release a new album, Blue Lips, on Nov. 17. The Album follows her 2016 album Lady Wood, and the singer described Blue Lips as "Lady Wood Phase II."
Lady Wood featured 12 tracks, including "Influence" featuring Wiz Khalifa. Tove has yet to release a track list or pre-order information for the album, but her recently released single "Disco Tits" is seemingly the lead track from the forthcoming record. She did unveil the album artwork, though, and it's as raunchy as any Tove Lo fan would want. Check out the cover below. TWICE finally released their first studio album, Twicetagram, alongside the music video for their lead single, "Likey." On October 30, the K-pop girl group released their 13-track album containing songs composed and written by some of the members, as well as fellow label mate and Wonder Girls member Hyelim. In addition, the nine ladies dropped a fun and playful video for their electro-pop single "Likey," which features charming "heart choreography" and a dance break choreographed by the group's head dancer, Momo. In less than 24 hours of its release, the music video surpassed 10 million views on YouTube. Meanwhile, Twicetagram made the "top five albums list on U.S iTunes real time charts within half a day of its release," according to Billboard. Selena Gomez, 25, and The Weeknd, 27, have ended their 10 month relationship.
“She and Abel have been going back and forth for a few months about their relationship,” says an insider. “It’s been hard with him being on tour and her shooting in New York. That wasn’t easy on them.” While Gomez “always made an effort” to attend his shows when she could, “that played a part in them getting distant,” adds the insider. “It’s over for now, but they’re still in touch.” The breakup also hasn’t been easy on the couple. “It’s been hard for them to come to the realization that this is the direction things were heading, but it’s been hard for months,” says the insider, who adds that Gomez is not back together with her ex Justin Bieber. Gomez was spotted spending time with Bieber — whom she dated on-and-off from 2011 to 2015 — over the weekend. The duo attended church together and were photographed by TMZ grabbing breakfast at a café in Westlake Village, California, in late October. It’s been a challenging year for Gomez, who revealed in September that the reason she quietly stepped back from her career over the summer was because she was recovering from a kidney transplant. The Weeknd and Gomez first became linked in January, when they were spotted sharing a kiss while out on a romantic dinner date. A source told PEOPLE at the time that the budding romance was “new and nothing serious.” However, in the months that followed, the two would flaunt their status as the picture-perfect couple. Gomez and Weeknd traveled to Italy together shortly after and even took a trip to the “Earned It” singer’s hometown of Toronto, Canada, in March. After a series of sweet outings, the stars made their official debut as a couple at the Met Gala. And, most importantly, Weeknd received a stamp of approval from Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey. The whirlwind romance showed no signs of slowing down, with a source previously telling PEOPLE, “They’re doing great together. Abel treats Selena really well and he makes her very happy.” In May, Gomez explained why she had opted to make her relationship so public. “It’s really hard when I would want to spend so much time hiding things,” she said in an interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest. “It’s too much pressure, and I think everyone gets over everything eventually… I just want to be happy. If that’s me just being myself, then I don’t really care.” Remy Ma is wasting no time after signing her new recording deal by teaming up with Lil Kim and going after Nicki Minaj.
Columbia Records exec Shawn Holiday signed Remy to a multi-million dollar deal, and Remy immediately started working with Kim and their track is called, "Wake Me Up." Remy is aking shots at Nicki's relationship with Nas ... which, publicly at least, took off pretty quickly. We're told Remy and Kim shot a music video for the track last week in the Bronx. Remy has a new manager too ... Vincent Herbert, who used to rep his now estranged wife, Tamar Braxton, before she filed for divorce. Following the release of his new album, I Still Am, on Friday (Oct. 27), Yo Gotti has dropped visual for his song, "Betrayal." "I just got a phone call, it got me rethinking shit/Homeboys and my enemies been on some linking shit/An OG big homie, sucker shit can't condone it/Catch a body, I'm on it/It's CMG, now who want it?" the Memphis rapper offers on the first verse. The track is produced by London on the Track and Southside and is one of the standouts on the 13-track album. Gotti's new effort also features the hit “Rake It Up” featuring Nicki Minaj and boasts guest appearances from French Montana, 21 Savage, Meek Mill, Chris Brown, YFN Lucci and more. After debuting online and in Sephora stores at the top of September, the cosmetic entity’s dividends were garnered in part by media revenue, which Newsweek describes as money made from social media promotion.
The makeup line includes 40 foundation shades, a lipgloss that the ANTI singer wanted to create for “all skin tones,” a highlighter as well as other contouring tools. In addition to this Fenty Beauty rollout, the 29-year-old recently debuted a holiday collection that’ll surely boost the revenue. Fenty Beauty also beat out other brands including NYX, Kylie Cosmetics, Urban Decay and more. On Saturday (Oct. 28), Kodak Black dropped four new tracks. The first one that caught our ears is “Down South,” a rap ballad where Kodak spits romantic lyrics to a distance lover over Lloyd and Ashanti 2004 song, "Southside.” The second is “Snap Shit,” a track that originally leaked online back in August 2016. On this newer version, Kodak spits a new second verse. The third song is “Roll n Peace 2,” another love ballad, this time with Kodak spitting rhymes over Usher and Ludacris' “Lovers and Friends.” Finally, “Right Now” is your basic Kodak Black tune with the “Lockjaw” rapper delivering nonsensical rhymes. Kodak will embark on a U.S. tour next month. "The Project Baby Tour" kicks off on Nov. 5 in Royal Oak, Mich., and wraps up on Dec. 22 in Boise, Idaho. You can peep Kodak Black's tour itinerary and his new songs below.
BTS gave fans an early treat for Halloween. Uploading a special video on Friday, October 27, we get a glimpse of the playful antics the group does in order to make a great production for their fans. In a multiple-rounded game of rock, paper, scissors, the last loser standing gets to wear Snow White's dress while the others dress as dwarves. (To make the long story short, V wore the dress and absolutely killed it.) Check the full dance practice video below. |
