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 to Secretly Marry Director Eli Roth!?!?

A source close to Peaches Geldof says the British celebutant is planning to marry movie director Eli Roth as early as January, according to BANG Showbiz. The wedding is reportedly to be a traditional Jewish ceremony, in accordance with Roth’s faith, and will be held on a New York rooftop.
Speaking about the couple’s plans, the insider said: “They are confident this is the real deal. They want a wedding on a New York rooftop and plan to invite about 50 friends including [Roth's fellow director] Quentin Tarantino. Apart from the trendy Manhattan venue it will be a traditional Jewish ceremony in keeping with Eli’s family faith. They have been trying to keep it a secret.”
In terms of Geldof and Roth having children, to the Sun newspaper the source revealed: “We wouldn’t be surprised if they started a family together very soon.”
It remains to be seen whether or not dear Peaches will convert to Judaism, which would be necessary if the wedding is to be recognized as orthodox. If Peaches does convert, I wonder what the members of her synagogue will think of their newest congregant… the picture perfect virgin bride!
If the two do get married, it would not be Geldof’s first time, seeing as the 21-year-old married American musician Max Drummey in 2008, only to divorce him seven months later. Good luck Eli!
The Stones will stop rolling in 2012!?!?

The Rolling Stones are preparing to retire from rock & roll; but not until after an epic world tour next year, according to a source at The Sun newspaper, making it their final farewell concert series. The source said: “They’re likely to perform in stadiums. It’s almost certainly the last full-scale world tour.”
The legendary band members have rocked out a lot of years as both Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards clock in at 66, Charlie Watts at 69, and Ronnie Wood at 63. With reference to their age, the source added: “The band realise that age is creeping up on them. They want to bow out on top of their game, and not short-change their fans.”
The Rolling Stones’ previous tour, the ‘Bigger Bang’ world tour, ran from 2005 to 2007. The tour generated over $558 million, making it the highest-grossing concert series of all time. It appears, after an alleged farewell tour, The Rolling Stones will be rolling in riches… and maybe by retiring they’ll finally get some satisfaction!

No longer a hairy angel but a bona fide top selling recording star…
Susan Boyle, you know that rather odd woman from West Lothian, Scotland who made her mark on Britain’s Got Talent a few months back is outselling Whitney Houston‘s dismal comeback album… Can you believe!
Brits Abroad: Borg ‘n’ Morgan in Hollywood!
Posted on April 6th, 2009 at 4:22 pm by Sean Borg
It seems you can’t go anywhere in Hollywood these days without bumping into someone you know from England.
On Sunday night I was with my mate Simon Boyce at Cecconi’s, West Hollywood, having a quiet dinner after spending a lovely day in Malibu at the home of film director Marcus Nispel.
As always happens when you’re not planning on seeing anyone I bumped into Rock n Rolla star Toby Kebbel at the bar who tells me he’s out for America’s Got Talent judge – Piers Morgan’s birthday.
In my shorts and T-shirt I wasn’t exactly dressed for the occasion but Piers and I go waaaay back so I had to pop over to his table and say hi…
