Did Courtney Love And Frances Bean Get Mother-Daughter WLS?

Ah, the 1-800-GET-THIN billboards. Although I’m sure they’re all over the place, I seem to only see them all over Los Angeles. I can’t help but imagine a sinister undercurrent. Dear Aspiring Actress Who Just Moved To Hollywood… Have lap band surgery, which is a total breeze, obviously, and be transformed into the ideal thin blonde movie star type! Become the next Charlize Theron today! Maybe I’m reading too much into it.

Anyway, if you’re a longtime reader, you know my weakness for celebrity gossip, and when I saw a recent blind item, I was reminded of those billboards. This tidbit comes from from Lainey Gossip:

Our perfect parent found a permanent way to keep the weight down – with a lap band installation a few years ago. At the same time, she thought she’d help out her little girl too. By pretty much forcing her teenage daughter to have one put in as well. The child protested but to no avail. And better still, instead of paying out of her own pocket, she insisted that the surgery be funded out of her precious’s bank account. Well in hindsight, no wonder.

It’s hard to imagine this could refer to anyone but Courtney Love, who recently lost custody of 17-year-old Frances Bean Cobain. There have been rumors floating around for a while that Courtney had this surgery, and the references in the blind item to her being out of money (and dipping into Frances’s trust fund) also make sense.

Also, Frances’s medical records were reportedly sealed because they “reveal details of Frances’s relationship with her mother.” Hopefully Courtney can get it together and Frances will keep a good head on her shoulders. I wish nothing but the best for The Bean, and for Courtney too, for that matter.

One would also hope that WLS would be viewed as a serious undertaking, not a way to drop a few pounds from an already slender frame. And that a teenager wouldn’t be forced into having lap-band surgery without her consent. And furthermore, that there would be plenty roles for actresses of all shapes and sizes and races and body types in Hollywood. I mean, while I’m wishing for things…

    I have a thing for celebrity gossip too lol. But this however, I am pretty sure is fake.

    I hope this isn’t true. I feel so bad for Francis on so many levels. I hope the best for her and for her mother.

    Well it is Hollywood… but this is just too far fetched. Especially after the deal with Michael Jackson’s doctor, I’m quite sure surgeons and doctors are very careful not to do any procedures without dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s first.

    First of all, can I just say how glad I am that we don’t live in L.A anymore? Because I don’t have to see these billboards!!!!! (Or the Victoria’s Secret one that was on Sunset Blvd. about 6 years ago. With a model in a thong sticking her assets in the camera. I think fender-benders went up by 60% that year.)
    I REALLY hope this is NOT true!!!! I was going to say that I can’t imagine any doctor doing this surgery on an unwilling teen, but the sad fact is, I can TOTALLY see that happening.

    Everyone has a say about things done on their bodies. Even a child. I hope this isn’t true.
