Courtney Love lost guardianship of her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean Cobain. It's hard to believe she's already 17, but, not hard to believe the world's worst mom lost custody.

Danger Mouse doesn't do anything the regular way with anything he's involved in. He and James Mercer have an innovative way for you to check out their new music for Broken Bells.
