Peaches Geldof to divorce

She tells pals she's had enough of hubby

SPLIT: Peaches and Max

By James Desborough, 08/11/2008

WILDCHILD Peaches Geldof's marriage is OVER after only 96 DAYS.

The troubled teenager has told shocked rock musician husband Max Drummey, 24, she's DIVORCING him and will start talks with her lawyers this week.

A pal of Peaches, 19, told us: "She realised it was all a mistake - and her dad Sir Bob is delighted."

Sir Bob's troubled daughter has sensationally DUMPED Max Drummey following a series of bitter rows at their New York home.

And only three months after the wedding she's told pals: "It's OVER. I just don't FANCY him any more."

Drug user Peaches plans to return to England this week to thrash out DIVORCE proceedings with her lawyers.

Erratic

Friends say her famous dad is DELIGHTED that his daughter has called time on her whirlwind marriage-but is also stunned by her increasingly erratic behaviour.

Peaches-whose cocaine habit was exposed by the News of the World this year-stunned her friends and family when she wed Max in secret at a Las Vegas chapel on August 5.

Last night a source close to the model and DJ confirmed last night: "Peaches is going to divorce Max. She woke up to realise the marriage was a huge mistake and that Max is not the man of her dreams.

"She doesn't fancy him any more, and wants to move on. To her it is as simple as that. She just wants to divorce him and find a new boyfriend.

"Max is heartbroken. He has been through the mill in the last three months, but there is nothing he can do. He genuinely believed marriage was a long term commitment, but Peaches has shattered his dreams."

null

The pal continued: "We all warned her not to rush into this but Peaches, being as defiant and cocky as ever, just ploughed in head first.

"Over the past few weeks they hardly spent any time together in America. When they did they both got each other's nerves. None of Peaches' friends is surprised by what's happened."

The two got together as Peaches was struggling with a string of problems in London.

Her drug use had been exposed in public and she wanted a new life

She suffered a drug overdose in July. "Her drug use had been exposed in public and she wanted a new life," said our source. "She saw Max and New York as her way to escape."

Just three weeks ago Peaches unashamedly admitted that she didn't expect her marriage to last the course. She confessed: "I didn't go into it with Max thinking, 'This is going to last forever'. But I did go in thinking, 'I love him right now and I know I will continue to love him for a long while'."

Peaches cancelled a public appearance to launch a clothes range in London on Wednesday. Publicly she claimed she had flu but in reality she was in New York dumping Max.

The pal added: "This week has been the final straw. Max hoped Peaches would give things another go, but she was determined. Her father is relieved that she is not unhappy in a relationship anymore, but is still very concerned about her alarming behaviour."

Astonished fans saw the first cracks in Max and Peaches' love affair at their last public appearance together.

Socialite Peaches launched a tirade against her hubby on stage at his band's gig in New York late last month. The upset musician blubbed on his mum's shoulder.

Drugs

Since September, the sozzled blonde has been seen clubbing without her husband several times in New York. But the couple also often spent nights alone at their Brooklyn apartment.

Peaches' impending divorce is the latest in a catalogue of bizarre antics. In July the beauty- whose mother Paula Yates died of a heroin overdose in 2000-fell unconscious after a suspected drugs binge. Two months earlier, we showed a video of Peaches on our website buying drugs from Amy Winehouse's dealer.

Last week she was was caught leaving a trendy boutique without paying for clothes. She said it was an accident and paid up-but it was the fourth-time she has been involved in a shoplifting "misunderstanding".

Her pal said last night: "Peaches is just not mature enough for a proper relationship. She was just kidding herself."

Last night a spokesman for Peaches said: "Like most couples, Max and Peaches have their ups and downs."

This lot didn't last long either

PEACHES' marriage joins a long list of celebrity quick sinkers. Here's our top ten:

ONE DAY: For nine-times bride Zsa Zsa Gabor and Felipe de Alba, 1982.

ONE DAY: Actress Robin Givens and Svetozar Marinkovic, 1997

TWO DAYS: Britney Spears and childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander, 2004.

EIGHT DAYS: Singer Michelle Phillips and Easy Rider star Dennis Hopper in 1971.

NINE DAYS: Baywatch babe Carmen Electra and basketball star Dennis Rodman, 1998.

10 DAYS: Cher and musician Gregg Allman in 1975.

29 DAYS: Drew Barrymore and bar owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994.

TWO MONTHS: Pamela Anderson and Rick Saloman, 2007.

THREE MONTHS: Rapper Eminem and Kim Mathers in 2006.

THREE MONTHS, 15 DAYS: Actor Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley managed to stay the distance a little longer than Peaches in 2002.

She new it wouldn't last but decided to take a risk, like most teenagers. I luv her style so much but what excatly has she done in the world? she should become a designer and have her own clothes line and work hard at it too. I'd definetly buy them!!!!!!!!!!!! She could be so great if she wanted to!

By Alice Stones. Posted March 27 2009 at 5:06 PM.

she is obviouslya very troubled young lady

By imberhk. Posted February 10 2009 at 10:28 AM.

Didn't see that one coming *shakes head in disbelief*.

By fakefurbabe. Posted February 8 2009 at 2:58 PM.

quite simply, this lass is riding on her fathers surname.. What actual talent does she have? TV series, crap..

Gather your bag girl, assess what is good in your life and what is not (add your sister Pixie into the mix). Be a real person, study, get a degree (time to get off the parents back in terms of a career).

To cut things short.... Grow up....

Why bother repeating what 99% of us said 95 days ago.
Hideous, worthless, stupid child.

By Dick Marsh. Posted February 7 2009 at 8:22 PM.

Poor Bob, am sure such a nice guy, dont sweat the small stuff, she is only a young girl and has a lot of growing still to do... You cant change, mold or control her, all you can do is love her, Keep on being the rock in her life Bob, she needs a Fathers love and understanding more than most girls of her age do... Good luck to you both x

By Donna. Posted November 11 2008 at 3:06 PM.

Peaches really is a spoilt bratt, shes living of her fathers name and trying to be as good as her mother. Bob really has tried really hard to bring those girls up well. Its just a shame they are so selfish to realise how lucky they are.

By angie. Posted November 10 2008 at 9:49 PM.

She looks like a hard-boiled egg with eyebrows drawn on. She acts like Nathan Barley. She talks like Tim Nice-But-Dim (Yuh, I wanna caawl mar magazairn 'Desappair Hair' - okair?")
What an utterly pointless celebretard.

By dom Kaos. Posted November 10 2008 at 8:47 PM.

Obviously father can't control the daughter and now that she is of age anything can happen, and has, and we won't hear the end of her escapades. Only hope she is not harmed in any way. The genes she has inherited are not her fault poor kid.

By camille. Posted November 10 2008 at 9:53 AM.

A smacked bottom would do Peaches the world of good. And me too come to that, providing it was me doing the smacking.

By Ken Bristow. Posted November 9 2008 at 11:14 PM.

Put quite simply: WHAT IS PEACHES GELDOF FOR? What actually are her talents? On reflection with joke names such as Peaches, Fifi Trixiebelle and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, and taking into account their pedigree (Yates, Geldof and Hutchence) perhaps the girls deserve our sympathy not ridicule.

By Ken Bristow. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:04 PM.

I think she is pathetic and is just looking for attention as usual, that is why she go married in the first place. She new it wouldn't last. She's go no talent and lives off the back of her father's fame. She is a waste of space!

By Whitney. Posted November 9 2008 at 9:18 PM.

You know what they say "marry in haste, repent at leisure. Maybe if his lawyer helps him to take her to the cleaner's that'll teach her a lesson!!!

By daveglasgow. Posted November 9 2008 at 8:24 PM.

Stupid girl!

By JD. Posted November 9 2008 at 7:13 PM.

After seeing peaches on The Ryan Tuberty Show a few weeks ago i knew then she was very talentless

By Jackie. Posted November 9 2008 at 7:31 PM.

Gosh, i'm so shocked. Daft little brat needs to do a decent days work. The media needs to stop wasting time on people like this. It's amazing how desperate the offspring of famous people are and the lengths they will go to to get an iota of coverage their parents have.

By Kim . Posted November 9 2008 at 6:34 PM.

i quite like the description of Peaches as: model and DJ. really? she is as much a model/DJ as she is a columnist.

thank you for brightening up an otherwise dull day

By bandido. Posted November 9 2008 at 5:41 PM.

I hope he takes 50% of her inheritance. That will wipe the smile off her face.

By Len. Posted November 9 2008 at 2:22 PM.

What a silly thing to say, he was married to her not her dad and well Sir Bob is not dead is he? and even what he leaves her in his will will not be hers until he dies...sheesh how silly are you? hope this wipes the smile off your silly brain...yo are amazing and probably a gold digger

By Maria. Posted November 9 2008 at 3:16 PM.

Max Drummey you have won the lottery, run for the hills from this spoiled " socialite "

i find her antics so irritating. go away you horrible spoiled creature

By bigjokk. Posted November 9 2008 at 2:56 PM.

she doesn't fancy HIM anymore..has the girl looked in the mirror or reflected on her so-called career for even one tenth of a second?!?!

By Lizza. Posted November 9 2008 at 2:54 PM.

I disagree with Sue. Is 'good smack' really the answer for someone with a drug habit?

By ian lips. Posted November 9 2008 at 2:44 PM.

she still has hope to go back to her first relations as her demand for diveroce is common senes among young girls who got married in their early ages.

By faisl ashowthabi. Posted November 9 2008 at 2:23 PM.

I hope he takes 50% of her inheritance. That will wipe the smile off her face.

By Len. Posted November 9 2008 at 2:22 PM.

Max Dummy did'nt that give her a clue, a little more direction Bob Pleeease.....

By sat all back of the bus. Posted November 9 2008 at 2:20 PM.

Their make a fool out of marriage.

By Trisha. Posted November 9 2008 at 1:44 PM.

Can anyone say "Up In Smoke"

By Zappa317. Posted November 9 2008 at 1:38 PM.

think she is trying be something she isn't .cos her mum had a reputation she just thinks she has to be the same.

By jasmine. Posted November 9 2008 at 1:19 PM.

I feel sorry for Sir Bob Geldof. I think that he really did try to do a good job with those kids. I'm afraid that there seems to be some kind of 'no good' gene on the female side.

By m parr. Posted November 9 2008 at 1:08 PM.

Now now! Peaches IS talented...... sadly not very, if her column in Skylon is anything to go by. If she is really serious about a career in "the meedya" then she should start at the bottom and work her way up, as everyone else has.
She's clearly got a talent for publicity, so maybe a career in PR beckons......? She's a classic case of WAY too much WAY too young. I actually feel sorry for her. To be "over" at 19 is a bit tragic really. I'm guessing that she's divorcing her husband because he's not making it big quickly enough and she's bored as there's little/no reflected glory. Oh dear! Perhaps a spell out of the limelight might do her the world of good (never mind the rest of us!). Don't write her off just yet tho, someone with an ego the size of hers isn't likely to lay low for long.... unfortunately.

By Yadayada. Posted November 9 2008 at 1:04 PM.

That boy is best shot of her, besides she has a resemblance to her father and lets face it who wants to think of Bob Geldolf when they are fuelling the flames of passion.

By Michael T . Posted November 9 2008 at 12:36 PM.

This girl is completely out of touch with reality, stupid little rich girl. Why do the press even bother wasting time writing about her or taking photos of this complete waste of space. Ditch the drugs girl, grow up, get yourself a proper job and stop seeking publicity - you are not your mother!

By Karen. Posted November 9 2008 at 12:20 PM.

Beats me how such trash about this spoilt junkie should make The News of the World!

By Valhmor A. Zammit MALTA. Posted November 9 2008 at 12:04 PM.

peaches marry me in stead please babe

By richard. Posted November 9 2008 at 11:33 AM.

This girl is an absolute MORON! Furthermore, she's typical of what happens when the parent chooses to take on the role of "mate" instead of being the person the defines the boundaries. Bob Geldof has proved to be a useless father and seems more interested in pursuing "martyrdom kudos" than controlling and parenting his irritating offspring!

By Ali Sichilongo. Posted November 9 2008 at 11:37 AM.

It makes me so angry that she has the money to swan around and act like this. She's a classic example of the type of person that knows there will always be daddy there to to follow her around and pick up the pieces. If I was Bob I'd be embarassed by her. I feel sorry for her soon to be ex too.

By Princesssindy. Posted November 9 2008 at 11:00 AM.

Nothing but a brat that probably should have had a good smack and put in order!

By sue. Posted November 9 2008 at 11:02 AM.

No you are not being silly Allan or old fashioned. There is nothing wrong with morals and standards, and that should count in the modern day as well as when older generations were younger. Discipline, or lack of, is the problem in this country, chavs and "celebrities" alike (not that she is a celebrity), and I feel also that because this country puts no emphasis or importance on religion anymore there is no moral guidance or guidelines for anyone to follow. Why is it that when people disapprove of this kind of behaviour they are classed as "old fashioned" or "out of touch". It's these kind of chavs that are out of touch with the real world and caring about other people apart from themselves!!

By Jackie. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:44 AM.

example of a SOCIALITE (do you know who my dad is)

By Philip stogden. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:42 AM.

Who put the silly girl on a pedestal? the popular press of course.

By angela campbell. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:32 AM.

I'm a non entity get me out of here. Another attention seeking w****, quicker she disappears again the better. Her daddy must be so proud of his little princess.

By mark. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:27 AM.

Another one bits the dust.....time for a real family life.....hope it not to late. Sir Bob has seen enough of her behaviour to get some help. His seen many people ruin there lives with drugs. Time to wake up....do something about it. She has got to want to clean up her act too.

By Anna. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:03 AM.

What chance in life did this girl have with parents like hers.

By Tom. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:09 AM.

I think they should not be allowed the divorce and be made to live together as a married couple for atleast 3 years. This is the length of time you should live together before you consider marriage not the 2 days or however it was in her case.

By Nicola Smith. Posted November 9 2008 at 10:08 AM.

A spoilt brat with too much ego and money than is good for her. Try working for a living. never the less a tragedy in the making, what a waste.

By bob. Posted November 9 2008 at 9:54 AM.

The stupid girl's an attention seeker like her parents!!!!

By Michele from Australia.. Posted November 9 2008 at 9:24 AM.

Max has had a lucky escape

By ellsbells. Posted November 9 2008 at 9:39 AM.

The stupid girl's an attention seeker like her parents!!!!

By Michele from Australia.. Posted November 9 2008 at 9:37 AM.

I hope you'll let us know what he settls for. He should at least get a good car out of the deal.

By Tb. Posted November 9 2008 at 9:42 AM.

anything for a picture in the paper

By mark. Posted November 9 2008 at 9:00 AM.

oh dear Peaches - the reason you get married is because you LOVE your husband, not just fancy...
I agree, possibily a publicity stunt??

By issy. Posted November 9 2008 at 8:57 AM.

Please will someone explain what the hell this peaches geldof does! Model hahah dont make me laugh!!! Gets married and says "i know it wont be forever". For the love of god. Forever is supposed to be what marriage IS!!! Sometimes it does go wrong and things fail but to o into the institution of marriage with that thought in your tint little mind is so wrong. She is whats wrong with socierty today. Please go away and lets never see this poor excuse for a human again!!!!

By james monk. Posted November 9 2008 at 8:13 AM.

This girl needs a serious kick up the ass. She is a talentless twit who uses her fathers name to et what she wants. I think the word for it is SPOILT BRAT.

By Simon Hilton_lewis. Posted November 9 2008 at 8:11 AM.

Peaches is a spoilt little brat who needs to have some Authority. Her name should not be used as an escape package to avoid responsibility. She is old enough to know better She needs to be brought back int the real world with a huge bump.

By Simon. Posted November 9 2008 at 8:06 AM.

by stating that she didn't expect the marriage to last, she is in breach of the marraige act - which states "till death us do part" Further to this, I don't recall any such area of divorce law that states that they may divorce on the grounds of a sole party's boredom after a whim! Get real on these idiots who think that their father's name will carry them. We all know she's had problems, but haven't we all!

By Simon Hilton-Lewis. Posted November 9 2008 at 8:23 AM.

she is trying to be her mother, she always looks like she needs a good scrub in the tub to me

By clive. Posted November 9 2008 at 8:34 AM.

what a load of cobblers how many mistakes will she make like this in her sordid life. shes on the same track as her dad and paula there will always be somebody that will get hurt, what goes around comes around, but what will she thinks when the boots on the other foot.
also geldoff me be please ,but if people thinks hes a angel think again, shes like mother like daughter also father

By david shaw. Posted November 9 2008 at 8:32 AM.

Publiciity stunt,how very sad

By phil. Posted November 9 2008 at 7:42 AM.

she has the right to ask for divorce if their relation got worse, otherways everyone of them start looking for other life.

By ali. Posted November 9 2008 at 6:43 AM.

Oh for goodness sake buy a small island and people it with all these twits sans makeup,sans stylists,and especially sans photographers...will give us all a break

By Marilyn Jackson. Posted November 9 2008 at 5:23 AM.

Now you have played at being "happy housewife" what will go and play at next?

By Henry Bond. Posted November 9 2008 at 5:26 AM.

Now you have played at being "happy housewife" what will go and play at next? To get all the people posting below to calm down is easier than you think: just go and make a difference somehow, contribute something ... no, not charity work. Actually doing something that you had to work hard at ... that is all they want really.

By Henry Bond. Posted November 9 2008 at 5:30 AM.

Well there is a surprise. Daddy will be so proud of her

By Laura. Posted November 9 2008 at 6:25 AM.

Didn't even last as long as I thought it would, lol.
Silly twit!

By Irene. Posted November 9 2008 at 3:05 AM.

She provides the best reason to bring back old fashioned six of the best.What a brat.And shame on Bob -how on earth did he raise this child ??

By Mac. Posted November 9 2008 at 1:16 AM.

What won't this stupid girl not do to get several column inches. Exactly what, pray tell me is she or her sister Pixie famous for. Oh I know being the offspring of a celebrity.

What crudentials does she really have to be a columnists from the age of 14 years, obviously Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates as parents. A ticket to doing F*** all her entire life.

Not many years then before Jonathon Ross's kids and the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Olivers' offspring are spread across the media . It gets sooo boring, too much money and no talent.

By Clara. Posted November 9 2008 at 1:20 AM.

love,understanding,commitment,sharing, and you now work as a partnership in all aspects of your life. Am i being silly and old fashioned or are people nowadays that selfish and, well selfish as they just cant be bothered to care about what their actions are supposed to be about.

By allan. Posted November 9 2008 at 1:39 AM.

Who cares what this self indulgent non entity gets up to?

She wouldn't be able to do half the stuff she does if her father wasn't famous.

Oh and Dj? Don't make me laugh!
