WHET Frank Zappa's kids?

Moon Zappa deserves a swift kick in the cunt for that homophobic 80's song Valley Girl, where she insults a gay male teacher.

Nobody cares about them because Frank Zappa has basically been forgotten.

Dweezil was the hot one.

Really stupid of the parents to pit the kids against one another like that. They should have all gotten 25%

You asked whatever happened to them but you have more answers than anyone else could possibly have about the Zappa kids.

I wonder why the estate is millions of dollars in debt? How could that have happened?

What was the deal with their house?

Frank Zappa was a cold, mean person who probably got off on making his kids resent each other. He warned them "I don't do love" -- they should have believed it.

Let's Talk About It

"He burns my private parts. He won't let me eat or drink… He beats me. He's going to kill me..."

My mother had three kids from her first marriage who she wrote out of the will, and I think she had pretty good reason to do so, but she didn't tell them. She told me that she had, and she also told other lies about a pension and a savings, which in truth she basically forfeited so nobody got. It caused a huge amount of drama and I've had to come to the conclusion that she did it on purpose.

Which is why, when I see a story like this, I figure this dead parent did it on purpose too. Some people are just rotten.

Anyone who loved their children wouldn't have named them Dweezil and Moon Unit!

Dweezil - I’d still do him in a heartbeat.

I've always thought Frank was a malignant narcissist. This is the sort of family dynamic they create.

They had a fun guest turn on Roseanne during that dreadful last season.

Same episode as Tammy Faye, todd Oldham, and others

They've made up. Mom was a cunt to the extreme in that she divvied up the estate so it would purposely pit the kids against each other. If she had simply written them out, that's one thing but she made it an unequal partnership.

I remember Dweezil's and Lisa Loeb's cooking show. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It showed both of them as seemingly very nice, normal people. Dweezil was and still is one gorgeous man.

Dweezil is swole!

Did he show the goods?

Moon Unit is still BFF with lookalike Justine Bateman .

Dweezil as MTV VJ. He was on MTV a lot back in the mid/late 80s

I remember Ahmet being really cute.

Pamela Des Barres was their nanny.

Ahmet's not hideous, but his "good looking" days are well behind him.

Dweezil definitely got the looks in that family.

Here is Diva Zappa's website. She sells knitted hats for upwards of $200 and tarot readings for $250 - $500.

Oh brother.

Those hats are hideous and beyond overpriced

Diva looks transgender.

Decades back at Tower on Sunset, a mom saw Frank Zappa's record and said "well, at least he's got a handsome son."

I think my daughter Mammie is friends with Tweezer.

R1, I always understood that song to be Zappa’s commentary on the vapidity of the youth culture in the Valley.

Commentary on America in the mid-80s was bound to be misinterpreted.

Mammie?

I don't want to know.

Is that Jane Fonda making sandwiches at R8?

I've. Even good friends w Lisa Loeb since college. Got to know Dweezil when they went out. He is actually a very nice guy. Funny. No arrogance. Just a good guy. I wish Lisa and he married.

^ oh dear. "I've been good friends".....

I agree that Dweezil is the only attractive sibling.

The other brother had a quality in the 90s

A repulsive quality? I agree.

I doubt you need to worry about it, R36

r32 why didn't they marry? and what's lisa up to these days? is she still friends with ethan hawke?

Ahmet is still sexy but he was smoking hot in the days when he hosted a late night TV show with Dweezil.

Dwezil did Celebrity Wife Swap

[quote]Those hats are hideous and beyond overpriced

Well, now we know why their mom gave them the bigger shares. The younger sibs have no talent and will need the money.

R31, yes, that's Jane Fonda--and more--in r8.

[quote]In television he worked as a guest MTV VJ. During that same period he recorded and released his first full length album, Havin’ A Bad Day. This album contained the single “Let’s Talk About It” which featured Moon Zappa on vocals and found itself on regular rotation on MTV. The video featured cameo appearances from Frank Zappa, Robert Wagner, Don Johnson and Jane Fonda as well.

Dweezaddy

Katie Wagner (Robert’s daughter between his marriages to Natalie Wood) was deweezils long term girlfriend in the 80s and for a time was his legal guardian when he moved out of frank and Gail’s home and in with Katie. Today that would be a big scandal but in the 80s it Didn’t get much traction

Frank was Arabic via Italy & his wife was Jewish. Dweezil got the mother's looks, obviously. They also had an open relationship.

He’s married to an Italian woman from Jersey. She reminds me of Chris Cornell’s wife.

"How could that have happened?"

Easy! Multiple adult children and their mother never working a day in their lives will bankrupt any estate.

I do give Dweezil props though, because he did, and apparently still does try to seek employment (he must have been very broke....Wife Swap?!?)

[quote]r2 Nobody cares about them because Frank Zappa has basically been forgotten.

I can't name his hit songs aside from VALLEY GIRL, which was a novelty tune - -

Loved Dweezil in his small role in Pretty in Pink. I think he was dating Molly Ringwald at the time.

I wonder how serious he pursued an acting career. He’s always been easy on the eyes.

Ive been beating off to Daddy Dweezil all week!

CUM IN MY MUSSY, DADDY!

Frank's buried in an unmarked grave at Westwood Memorial Park. Home of Marilyn Monroe, the Gabor sisters, Natalie Wood, Farrah, and more.

He's right next to Lew Ayres.

R54 is there a reason it’s unmarked?

Thought Dweezil used to be with Bullock? Not sure how long ago.

r50 I can't believe I never noticed that. I've seen that movie so many times, who was he in it? what scene is he in?

When they go to that club, where Duckie can't get in, Dweezil is in her group of friends and gets introduced to Annie Potts as her friend Simon.

That's the only part I remember.

Who the hell are these Poon and Squeegee Zappa people? And god that fucking earworm they gave birth to @ R8's link Ugh I can't get it out of my red delicious head Talking 'bout what everybody's talking 'bout I wanna talk about, we gotta talk about it Talking 'bout what everybody's talking 'bout I wanna talk about, we gotta talk about it Talking 'bout what everybody's talking 'bout I wanna talk about, we gotta talk about it Talking 'bout what everybody's talking 'bout I wanna talk about, we gotta talk about it Talking 'bout what everybody's talking 'bout I wanna talk about, we gotta talk about it Talking 'bout what everybody's talking 'bout I wanna talk about, let's talk about it

"Moon Zappa deserves a swift kick in the cunt for that homophobic 80's song Valley Girl, where she insults a gay male teacher."

My English teacher...he's like...Mr. Bufoo. We're talking Lord God King Bufoo.

I am so sure, he's like soooo disgusting. He plays with his rings and flirts with ALL the guys in the class.

It's like...BARF OUT!! Gag me with a spoon!!

Valley girl, she's a valley girl. Okay, fine. Fer sure, fer sure. She's a valley girl and there is no cure.

"I can't name his hit songs aside from VALLEY GIRL"

...because there are none.

[quote][R50] I can't believe I never noticed that. I've seen that movie so many times, who was he in it? what scene is he in?

He’s at the Trax club near the start of the film. Andie asks him what he’d do if his father suddenly became rich or something to that effect, and he says, “I’d kiss his ass.”

It's really simple. The mom felt two of the children would safeguard her husband's image and the other two would do anything to capitalize on it. Additionally in business decisions it is almost impossible for 4 people to agree unanimously. She picked the two who she trusted with only the need for two to agree. She probably thought 3 against one or a deadlock would cause more strife. Plus the two left out could have more money but less common sense.
