A tipster sent in a report involving Courtney Love having some kind of "verbal battle" with daughter Frances Bean Cobain at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Cobain apparently wants her own room, to shut out her relentlessly undermining mom.

Writes our spy:

Courtney Love and Francis Bean duking it out in a verbal battle outside their room at the Chateau Marmont. Francis wants her own hotel room. Who can blame her?

Indeed. Frances miraculously appears to be a well-adjusted 16-year-old despite a mother who threw her a suicide-themed birthday party and called her a "gay man trapped in a woman's body." Asking for a hotel room to escape the live version of her mom's long, scary MySpace diatribes is just evidence of her growing maturity.
