Peaches Geldof is the 22 year-old daughter of Sir Bob Geldof (the founder of Live Aid) and the late Paula Yates. She dabbles in writing and occasionally models, but generally has no career or educational ambitions to speak of. She’s known for marrying young and divorcing after six months, dating Eli Roth (it’s over now, thank goodness), dressing like crap both on the red carpet and off, having trashy tattoos and doing drugs. So it’s not surprising to hear that she’s a shoplifter too, although I am surprised that it’s taken this long for us to learn about it. Maybe all the other dumb sh*t she does overshadow the stories of her thievery.

Peaches Geldof has been accused of stealing a dress from a London clothes shop.

Staff at the Three Amigos store in Camden Town claimed that the garment disappeared after the 22-year-old TV presenter visited last week.

It is thought that owners of the shop, which sells skater-style clothing, tried to contact Miss Geldof when they were unable to find the dress, but called police yesterday after receiving no reply.

One line of inquiry is that the alleged theft is due to a misunderstanding between the shop and Miss Geldof.

Last night detectives were waiting to question the daughter of Boomtown Rats star Sir Bob Geldof and his late wife Paula Yates.

The claims are the latest in a long line of shoplifting allegations for the socialite – though she has always been exonerated.

In March 2008, she was accused of leaving the Victim store near Carnaby Street with a £500 dress she had not paid for.

After store staff realised it was missing, they phoned her management firm and Miss Geldof returned to the shop and apologised, saying it had been a ‘simple misunderstanding’.

In 2007, she was accused of taking clothes from a photoshoot, and in October 2006 she was stopped at Urban Outfitters in Kensington High Street on suspicion of shoplifting a coat. She was allowed to leave after paying for the item.

In April 2009, Miss Geldof was wrongly accused of stealing an item of clothing from east London shop Luna & Curious, where staff claimed she had been behaving ‘atrociously’.

She bought a number of garments but was later stopped by the owner who accused her of taking one without paying. She insisted it was an honest mistake and returned it.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said yesterday: ‘We can confirm police have received an allegation of theft. It is alleged that on March 4 a woman stole a dress from a shop in Camden Road. Officers are investigating the alleged theft.’

A spokesman for Miss Geldof said: ‘On the afternoon of March 4 Peaches was picked up from her home address at 1.15pm and taken to a voiceover studio in SE1 where she spent two and a half hours.

‘Peaches knows nothing about this incident which we strenuously deny.’

Wait – Peaches is a TV presenter now? A quick glance at her Wikipedia page confirms that she can add that to her storied resume, since she has “a six part series on ITV2 called, ‘OMG, Totally Peaches’, a problem solving chat and guest show with audience participation.” Reading over the description on the ITV website, it sounds like Ricki Lake, only trashier and dumber. It’s airing now and they cover topics like “polyamorous” people and “furries,” or people who dress like animals. (You can watch a segment here and below.)

So did Peaches jeopardize her new talkshow gig with her sticky fingers? She lost her modeling gig with Ultimo after nude photos and a story came out that she’d done drugs with a onetime hookup. She may be secure in this job for now, but if she keeps pulling stunts like this all the opportunities she’s inexplicably being handed will dry up for her.

In related news, Peaches tweeted a photo of herself wearing a diamond ring and wrote that it was a birthday gift from her most recent boyfriend, a musician from the band S.C.U.M. She similarly wore a ring on her left hand and is thought to have planted engagement stories when she was dating Eli Roth. You would think that she would learn by now that she should wait a while to get married again.

Here’s Peaches on her new talkshow interviewing some “furries.” They say they’re not sexual about it, but that the American furries are! Peaches comes on at 2:00. Check out her huge teeth. It’s like she’s whistling through them.
