Peaches Geldof, classic or dud?

sensed this revive would be a death notice

rip

holy shit

Bob Geldof's statement

Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.

Writing "was" destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is.

Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken.

Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof.

:(

christ, 25 with two kids under 2

Writing "was" destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is.

man that's tough to read

The only thing I really knew about Peaches Geldof was that she seemed the sort who would die at 25. Sad to hear she had apparently cleaned up, but then ... maybe she didn't.

But wow, talk about a bad run. Michael Hutchence, Paula Yates, Peaches ... a lot of empty chairs at the extended family reunion.

And the chance of bono to boot

Man, just occurred to me that it's Monday ...

josh you're being a bit of a dick

Was hoping Josh was parodying the very worst pricks on Twitter and Facebook with that last crack.

he has a strong authorial voice in his posts iirc

Haven't read or seen anything about this death anywhere but here, tbh. Do people know who she is in the States? Anyway, I do honestly feel bad about her and her extended family, who have indeed dealt with a lot. I also honestly didn't know anything about her except that I thought she was the type destined to die young (like, say, the Libertines guy). The Monday thing I was half-serious about, since in the States Boomtown Rats are a one-hit wonder punchline and that song in particular is often trotted out as its own punchline, but it never occurred to me that people would actually publically use such a tasteless joke. Here? Eh. I'm not sure it is worse than the Brad Delp/Cobain joke that made me wince elsewhere. But all's fair.

oh give me some credit, that Delp/Cobain joke was definitely worse.

I did not know BG had a famous child.

She wasnt famous for anything but tbh

for having a very long name

She was famous for being the type of person you should hate - rich and privileged and stupid and reaping more riches and privilege and stupidity off the back of that - but at the same time she seemed pretty OK, in the minutes I paid attention to her at least. Maybe too nervous and thoughtful or something. Google her face and it's never hateful, just sad.

If you want to see hateful, it's sitting beside her in this clip

ugh I didn't know who katie hopkins was until just now, disgusting.

peaches seemed sad. I wonder if this was suicide or just some horrible freak thing. What a crap life BG has had with all of this.

it's really sad. yes, she was rich. she was also born into more crazy and tragedy than most.

I also honestly didn't know anything about her except that I thought she was the type destined to die young (like, say, the Libertines guy).

Except he's still alive and he's about 40. Don't recommend annoying the guy at parties though, you might just die young if you do that.

i didn't even know bob geldoff had a daughter, but she came across as smart, thoughtful, and feisty in that clip above.

(by contrast, that katie hopkins came across as a horrible, moralizing, tsk-tsker. who is she, and why did they make her and peaches geldoff sit uncomfortably close together on that normal-sized tv chat couch?)

hopkins is a comedy troll who has somehow managed to swindle a TV career following her win on the UK version of the Apprentice.

google says she won nothing

was she runner up? i've never watched the apprentice, and try not to watch anything hopkins is on.

okay, straight from thewiki's mouth:

She appeared on the third UK series of TV reality programme The Apprentice, but resigned during the eleventh week, having made herself memorable for controversial comments.[2

Wow, Pete Doherty is 35? He still looks so babyfaced.

That fat fuck

A fat junkie, nice going there, 'Peter'

Holy crap that Hopkins woman is fucking horrible and Peaches seemed very bright and sweet and I am weirdly sad about this.

little bit too GOD I HATE YOU, YOU HORRIBLE AWFUL CUNT

(sorry)

also i didn't even know bob geldoff had a daughter

I thought most people would have known this just because so much has been written about their names.

And the fact that he got custody of Yates' and Hutchence's daughter.

wtf @ that bizarre moment when the female presenter leans in, all but rubs her thighs and asks about peaches' sex life, and peaches recoils slightly

it's sort of like she hasn't yet worked out that sex can be had outside of bedtime hours

also i didn't even know bob geldoff had a daughter

I thought most people would have known this just because so much has been written about their names.
