Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain and troubled celeb Courtney Love, told Teen Vogue she wants to be her own person. "I don't want to be titled as Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter. I want to be thought of as Frances Cobain," said the 13-year-old. The 7th grader also admits that she prefers it when her mom dresses more as a "classy starlet, and I don't really like it when she doesn't brush her hair."...The monumental Live 8 concert is coming out in an equally impressive four-disc DVD set on Nov. 7.

Katrina, from Ô80s one hit wonders Katrina and the Waves, has a new solo album out. It's called Turn The Tide. Yes, for real -- we didn't make that up ... New Order played the UK's T In The Park festival this summer. Singer Bernard Sumner decided to relieve himself in the backstage porta-potty before going on stage. He emerged conscious that he left a hideous stench, and tried to escape unseen. Unfortunately, he bumped straight into Godfather of Soul James Brown, who was headed for the same toilet. Sumner ran off giggling, hearing a muffled cry of "Good GOD!" ... And finally, much respect to rapper Kanye West, who drew controversy during the first benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina victims. West seems to be the only famous person to have the balls and conviction to say what so many people are thinking: That "President" Bush "doesn't care about black people" -- and how the media portrays African Americans.
