In all actuality I don't think she blew through $50 million in just 2 or so years. But I am sure she spent a lot of it.

A home is part of your net worth. Even if she paid $20 million on a home (which I doubt she did), she can get it back when she sells it..or at least most of it, assuming the house is in good condition and the market is in her favor.

I wonder how much she's blown through already. It seems everything she does is so grand. I hope she is saving for her rip old age when no one will care who the fuck she is. But I guess theres always the nirvana catalogue. Geeez. Must be nice.

Sure, but Drew can teach the kid how to legally emancipate herself from the psycho, how to deal with growing up famous (and being surrounded by drugs), and how to successfully manage the Hollywood lifestyle. Hell, I would take a guess that she probably knows best how to invest her money.

ture. but my point is, in order to do that, teach the kid anything u have to have communication with her, and drew hasn't had anything to do with her for years. so no, she's not qualified cuz she doesn't know what the hell frances wants.

The money for the 25% of the Nirvana catalogue got TAXED. I would guess after legal expenses and taxes, FRANCES probably saw about half of that go to her trust fund.

So... Queenie blows thru 20 mil in 2 years. Depending on what she's bought (like $800,000 earrings, that right there is quite a bit) and what sort of legal wranglings she has going on and "paying for studio time" *giggle*...

... It could all be gone.

The poor fucking kid.

As for the subject, and my final statement re: Drew Godmommy - speaking as a godmother (I am, for three kids)... no matter what sort of situation you're in with a teenage god-daughter (I have a 16 year old one), you have agreed to be that person's advocate. If Drew Godmommy has no contact with Frannie, well, a new godparent (or guardian in the event of the death or incompetency of Queenie) does need to be established.

Wendy O'Connor is indeed not in the public eye. But that doesn't mean she's the go-to with something like emancipation or guardianship. I loved my grandmother, too, but she wasn't exactly competent to tie my shoes, although she did make a mean Miracle Whip on Wonderbread sammich when I was four.

How about Queenie's ex-stepfather, the one who Frances was in the custody of the last time Queenie cracked up and out?

I just know from my own personal experience that sometimes you don't talk to your godkids every day or even in months, but if you get that phonecall, you're there for them.

And if not, let's hope the kid knows enough to get herself emancipated without Godmommy. I mean, shit, she's supposed to be so intelligent and wise about the ways of fame and fortune (and who better to have as a lab rat to observe than Queenie?).

I do wonder what the heiress thinks of this current debacle. Is she actually sitting back and letting mommykins "crackbabble" her way out of being an executor/trustee? (hex object gets much respect for "crackbabble"). If so, she's a smart little girlie. I think that's what I'd do. It's a great chess move. Let your opponent dig their own grave.

Anyway, turtle, point taken, no more mentioning Drew Barrymore.

If one were to be disingenuous, they could theorise that Corky was such a maladjusted harridan that not only did she drive Kurt to fake his own death, she ultimately drove him to move to NJ. Now imagine if she were to harness her powers for "good"...
