Peaches Geldof’s First Look Baby Bump Pics!
Posted on January 16th, 2012 at 10:38 pm by Nick Crew
As mother-to-be, Peaches Geldof proudly showed off her baby bump for the first time since breaking the news about her pregnancy, she revealed she had yet more news to tell us… Not only is she expecting a boy but also the child is expected to be born on her late mother Paula Yates‘ birthday, April 24th.
Peaches was only 11-years-old when writer and broadcaster Yates died of a heroin overdose in September of 2000. Now 22, she said: “I feel like it’s a little wink from my mum, her way of sending a message to let me know that she’s watching over me and my baby.”
Peaches also added that her father, Sir Bob Geldof was ‘overwhelmed and emotional’ when she told him that she was pregnant. However, she did confess that she kept it a secret from him and everyone else for almost five months!
Speaking about her father’s reaction, the model and Showtime presenter told Hello magazine; “Oh my God, he was so happy, especially as I’m having a boy. The poor man’s been surrounded by women up till now.”
She also mentioned how Sir Bob had given fiancé Tom Cohen, the seal of approval, and said out of all her boyfriends, Tom was his favorite.
Always a good thing to be on your father-in-laws good side, especially if your father-in-law is Bob Geldof!
“He told us we must never break up; that we must make our child happy, get married and be together forever.” The world has been listening to Bob for decades, so I am sure Peaches and Tom will too, we wish the couple all the best!
Wild Child Peaches Geldof Blocks Ex-Wild Child Emma Ridley on Twitter!
Posted on March 19th, 2011 at 1:47 pm by Nick Crew
It seems a bitter Twitter row has erupted between Ex-wild child Emma Ridley and Sir Bob Geldof’s wayward daughter Peaches over an open letter written by Ridley that appeared in The Sun newspaper over TWO years ago!
In the article published back in February 2009, Ridley simply gave her open, honest opinion to Geldof, ‘not to grow up too quickly.’
Good advice if you ask me, from someone who at the time, had ran off to Las Vegas to get married at the tender age of 15, only to divorce months later.
But now, after revelations of Geldof’s latest wild antics appeared in yesterday’s Sun, in which the party girl is alleged to have had a five in a bed orgy, Ridley’s article has resurfaced and caused quite the ‘tweet’ drama.
Earlier today Ridley innocently tweeted Geldof a link to the article as a friendly reminder to calm it down and for a bit of healthy advice. Now close sources say Ridley’s tweet has enraged young Peaches and she has since blocked Ridley from following her on Twitter… I wonder if she’d block me if I send her the same link?
Ridley responded, “@peaches_g blocked me after I posted my letter in the #thesunnewspaper. I guess some people just aren’t mature enough to handle the truth.”
It would seem it has taken 2 years for Peaches to react to the article; maybe she needs another 2 years for it to sink in.
Ridley was one of the most talk about celebrities’ back in the late 80′s, with a life not to dissimilar to the one Peaches is living now… So if anyone is qualified to give such advice based on her own past experiences, Ridley certainly knows what she is talking about. The former Royal Ballet school student also knew Geldof’s mother, the late Paula Yates, who died of a drug overdose back in 2000. Now a mother of three, Ridley has reinvented herself as a fitness guru and is living a healthily life in Hollywood.
A close source said: “The letter Emma wrote in the Sun wasn’t meant to offend, it was merely to give Peaches some friendly advice from someone who has had similar experiences.”
Adding: “blocking Emma on Twitter was very childish indeed and has us all believing that what we read about Peaches could well be true with that type of immature behavior.”
Peaches is yet to respond to Emma’s tweet, but it’s obvious that Ridley only had her best interests at heart…I know at 22 one thinks they know best, but sometimes a little sound advice from those in the know can’t hurt, and we’d hate to see history to repeat itself!
Peaches Is Psycho Inspired!

I have to be honest, looking at the unflattering near-naked body of Peaches Geldof first thing this morning certainly made me scream a little… Even Janet Leigh herself would have shrieked at Geldof’s cheap impersonation taken from Alfred Hitchcock’s spine chilling 1960′s flick, Psycho.
The 21-year old, um, whatchamacallit and daughter of Live Aid hero Sir Bob Geldof posted this gruesome picture of herself in the shower and with around 89,000 ‘twits’ following her Twitter page, this is sure to raise a few eyebrows!
Twitter addict, Peaches, who is currently dating horror director Eli Roth, could well have been auditioning for one of Roth’s upcoming movies, though I suspect this was just nothing more than a (ahem) ‘slice’ of desperate attention grabbing… Where’s Anthony Perkins when you need him?
What on earth would your daddy say, eh Peaches?!
Ride Em’ Peaches!

Sir Bob’s daughter, Peaches Geldof demonstrates ‘what not to wear’ when riding on the back of a Vespa in Los Angeles yesterday. At least she did the sensible thing of wearing a crash helmet as she rode around town on the back of a male friend’s bike.
I hear the twit-girl socialite and wannabe model actually twitters her locations now so as the paparazzi can find her more easily. Wait, who on earth could miss her dressed up like that in broad daylight anyway?!
Looking as if she had been up all night partying and still on the go, in a gold sequined dress exposing her red swimsuit bottoms, Peaches’ outfit left little to the imagination. What would her boyfriend Eli Roth say about this?
I suppose this is one way to gain a few more column inches … Memo to Peaches: Time to get yourself a job dear and do something more constructive with your life, your daddy is far from impressed with your headline grabbing antics … Trust me, I know!
Peaches’ On Her Best Behavior – Daddy’s in LA…
Posted on May 13th, 2010 at 8:13 am by
Wild-child Peaches Geldof was on her best behavior last night attending an LA party under the watchful eye of her father, Live Aid hero Sir Bob Geldof.
The 21-year-old socialite has been working on rebuilding her damaged reputation of late, after being dropped from a high-profile modeling contract with lingerie giants Ultimo when naked photos of her appeared on the Internet.
Appearing well coiffed (and somewhat over fake-tanned!) as she arrived hand-in-hand with current boyfriend Eli Roth at Teddy’s club at the Roosevelt Hotel, Peaches posed happily for the cameras, and did her best ‘butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth’ act.
Could this be a new Peaches we see? Well, Daddy was just a few feet behind so I doubt it, more than likely this good-girl ‘act’ was just for him.
Maybe Sir Bob is taking a leaf out of Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears’, book and keeping a tighter rein on his daughter by staying close. After all, the party was hosted by trendy mag Nylon – not exactly Bob’s usual cup of Fairtrade tea when it comes to social events!
Peaches’ Problem to a Tee!

Sometimes I think this column should be called ‘What Peaches did Next’ because there doesn’t seem to be a day when the Geldof girl doesn’t get herself into trouble.
Perhaps I should even consider producing a documentary on her… Now there’s a thought, eh Peaches, having me follow you around day and night?!
Anyway, this time, the little minx is wearing a T-shirt that has been described as ‘racially insensitive’.
She sported the shirt, which depicts the Confederate flag, to a party in Hollywood last night, and was probably unaware that it is considered by many to be a symbol of racism due to the flag’s links with slavery. I hope she was ignorant of this anyway!
During the 1861 to 1865 American Civil War, it was the flag of the Confederate states that supported slavery, and it now is banned by many American schools.
So it’s straight out of a drugs scandal and into a racism furore. Peaches, you’re forever telling us how intelligent you are, how much you read and that you’re a serious writer, but um, maybe you should read a book on American history. Might save you yet more trouble you could do without.
Life’s Peachy, eh Eli?

Looks like Peaches Geldof’s got herself a new boyfriend – and one that makes a change from her usual skinny indie band boys.
The ‘it’ girl daughter of Sir Bob has been spotting snogging Inglorious Basterds actor Eli Roth all over Los Angeles since her hookup with him at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday night.
On Monday they were spotted kissing in Eli’s car (pictured) – with Peaches in the same dress from the night before – and yesterday they couldn’t go more than a few steps without stopping for a PDA. And Eli, 37, and Peaches, 20, both seemed fine that they were caught on camera.
So to recap: Eli’s tall, handsome and loves the limelight as much as Peaches – looks like a match made in heaven to me!
Peaches Almost Pureed In California Car Crash…
Posted on December 16th, 2009 at 5:09 pm by
This shocking little tale just winged its way over to me via Hollywood’s elitist gossip mongers, that Peaches Geldof narrowly avoided serious injury in a car crash yesterday, but she didn’t let the little matter of a near-death experience ruin her trip to Disneyland in Anaheim.
The sometime DJ, model and daughter of Live Aid chief Sir Bob Geldof, was in a car with four friends when the driver’s foot slipped on the pedals and it spun out of control on the freeway leaving the bonnet crushed and front bumper bashed in.
But the 20-year-old and her ‘crew’ – who she refers too as the ‘I Don’t Give a F***’ crew – 
obviously wasn’t too shook up by the experience.
She managed to give Twitter followers a running commentary on the incident, saying, “Just actually experienced a full on car carsh (sic) with the IDGAF crew. Wow, I guess we really don’t GAF.”
Peaches and her gang later posted pics of themselves posing at Disneyland. Just watch out for the bumper cars at Disney’s California Adventure, eh Peaches?
