Frances Bean Cobain may be engaged, according to her Facebook page. The 19-year-old daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love recently changed her status on the site to "engaged," suggesting that she is planning to marry her boyfriend, Isaiah Silva of the rock band the Rambles.

Of course, this could all be a weird joke on Cobain's part. For one thing, both Cobain and Silva use silly aliases on the site – Frances Rachel Leigh Cook and David Berkowitz-Cusack, respectively. Bean alluded to an impending wedding in several Facebook posts, but the two recently reverted their status from "engaged."

Cobain, who is estranged from her mother, has become something of a muse for fashion designers recently. She has also tested the waters for a career in music, singing on a track called "My Space" by Evelyn Evelyn, a side project of Dresden Dolls singer Amanda Palmer.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
