British “socialite” Peaches Geldof (daughter to Sir Bob) rarely does anything truly interesting, so she has to settle for making the news with chronic engagements, shoplifting scandals and allegedly having heroin and Xenu-fueled one-night stands to keep the British tabloids well entertained. It was all quite contrived but not terribly surprising coming from a celebuspawn. In recent months, however, Peaches has gone something relatively unexpected; that is, she dropped a bunch of weight, which automatically caused suspicions of drug use.

For most of her young adult life (and granted, it hasn’t been long because she’s only 22), Peaches seemed proud to sport a rather “healthy” figure. She wasn’t in great shape from a fitness standpoint, but she certainly wasn’t fat by any stretch. The girl didn’t starve herself and seemed to eat three square meals per day like any normal person would. So it seems strange that she’s suddenly gone on an anorexic kick, but if I had to put a finger on why her weight has suddenly become a major issue for her, it would be the existence of her relatively new fey boyfriend/fiance, Thomas Cohen, who looks to weigh all of 110 pounds himself. It’s probably pretty difficult to get undressed next to this guy and not feel like a whale no matter what:

At any rate, Peaches responded to weight loss criticism in the same way that any girl with an eating disorder would do. She claimed that her new figure was due a bout with avian flu, which was followed by a new habit of eating healthily. Also, she expressed a newfound appreciation for miso soup and would reportedly take an hour to eat just one bowl. However, it’s become clear from Peaches’ appearance at the recent Girl With the Dragon Tattoo premiere that the weight loss has gone too far. Now, Peaches has revealed to The Sun that she’s put herself on a strict liquid diet and doesn’t eat solids for up to a month at a time:

Skinny Peaches Geldof has been slammed for raving about a dangerous fad diet – eating no solid food for a month at a time.

The telly host has come under scrutiny recently for her extreme weight loss.

And she was snapped at the London premiere of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo on Monday night looking even more gaunt.

Now Sir Bob Geldof’s daughter has claimed that she starves herself for several weeks in order to look this thin.

It was feared that the OMG! With Peaches Geldof host’s new tiny frame may have been down to drug use after she was photographed in September with dark bruises close to veins on her left arm.

But Peaches – whose mum Paula Yates died of a heroin overdose in 2000 – has now claimed that her weight loss is down to a fad diet which consists of just liquefied vegetables.

Peaches has told how she can drop ten pounds on the dangerous slimming plan.

She said: “I do juicing. You juice vegetables and then you drink it three times a day. It’s gross. I do it usually for about a month. I have no willpower but with the juicing I’m like, ‘I have to do it because I have to lose this extra ten pounds.’

“I will lose it then I’m back going mental for the chips.

“I’ll juice and then I eat chips.”

Peaches was estimated to have lost one-and-a-half stone between March and July this year, slimming from 10st to just 8 1/2st.

But in August she reassured worried fans by tweeting: “To those telling me I look skinny and to eat something, I can assure you I’ve just cut out eating crap. I still eat like a horse.”

However, Peaches, who is often pictured in celebrity magazines, has now said that she felt pressured by fashion mags to be thin.

She said: “Sometimes it’s hard. If you open any high-fashion magazine, the girls in it are stick-thin and then they’ve been airbrushed down to the point where it’s just ludicrousness.

“I have days when I wake up and think, ‘I’m so fat.’ ”

Cath Collins, a spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association, said: “Peaches joins a long line of celebs who are braindead when it comes to nutrition. Surviving on fruit is a very dangerous diet. Peaches is at high risk of electrolyte abnormalities which could lead to acute cardiac arrest. Rapid dieting like this not only makes you lose muscle strength but wastes away your internal organs. It is what kills anorexics. It is a stupid approach and it is irresponsible to promote this sort of disordered eating. It’s worrying that somebody who has money and access to contacts would pick such a ridiculous way to diet.”

[From The Sun]

Can you imagine eating absolutely nothing an only subsisting upon liquified vegetables? Ugh. Talk about unsatisfying, and you know that Peaches isn’t bright enough to take on a liquid diet under the supervision of a nutritionist like a certain Victoria’s Secret model.

For comparison’s sake, here’s some photos of Peaches in May and August of 2010 while she was dating Eli Roth, who seemed to embrace Peaches’ figure in his very own way. However, her wardrobe choices during their relationship, including a bathmat dress, did her no favors:

Here are more photos of Peaches’ new slimline look over the past few months. While this new physique isn’t necessarily anything different that we see from Hollywood starlets, it’s certainly a red flag that Peaches has lost so much weight in such a short period of time and that she continues to want to lose more weight. She should stop dieting now and just concentrate on maintaining with exercise and a proper daily menu. Those liquid diets will kill her metabolism in the long run, and she’ll be heavier than when she started.

Just a few days ago, Russell Crowe caused quite a stir by drunk tweeting his random thoughts concerning what he described as the “barbaric” practices of circumcision and abortion. In response, Kaiser had a lot of fun with Crowe’s obviously amusing and joking statements about these topics, especially when he called out Jewish director Eli Roth, who is not only friends with Crowe but also produced the actor’s upcoming movie, The Man With the Iron Fist. If you’ll remember correctly, Eli Roth has also endured his own infamous Twitter controversy, which took place about a year and a half ago and consisted of a shameless amount of cyber sex and tissue evidence. So when several movie blogs stumbled over each other in a mad dash to see who could be the first to label Crowe’s words as “anti-Semitic,” it’s only natural that Roth would be at the defensive forefront:

Eli Roth is outraged that a reporter for The Hollywood Reporter took what he says was a “joking exchange between friends” — Eli and Russell Crowe — and then attacked Crowe as being anti-Semitic.

It all started when Eli and Russell — who often tease each other on Twitter — were joking about circumcision. Crowe tweeted, “I love my Jewish friends. I love the apple and the honey and the funny little hats but stop cutting yr babies,” adding, “I’ll take attentive parenting over barbarism.”

Apparently a reporter from The Hollywood Reporter saw the exchange and went after Russell with a headline that said he “insults Jews.”

Eli tells TMZ, “The headline blatantly attempts to make Russell look like an anti-Semite. It’s tabloid journalism at its worst.”

Eli adds, “No one contacted either of us. It’s terrible. Russell is a great person and respectful of all religions.”

And, Eli says, “The press is trying to terrify celebrities into not using Twitter. They want to show they can still ruin you. It’s sickening.”

[From TMZ]

While Eli Roth obviously has a vested interest in Crowe’s public image at this point, I’d also wager that the two have a pretty good understanding between themselves of what constitutes a joke. While perhaps Crowe misjudged the collective Twitter response (especially when it comes to opportunistic reporters), all of this should be taken in context of Crowe’s overall Twitter pattern, which is generally casual when it comes to his vernacular and certainly not meant to be taken seriously. Still, does Roth have a point when he claims that certain media outlets would hope to intimidate celebrities into not using Twitter? Perhaps, but I think the more likely culprit is that Hollywood Reporter recently moved into a subscription format and would hope to reel in more paid readers with the help of so-called “controversial” headlines.

Meanwhile, Crowe was also snapped in his native Australia while taking a yacht-associated ride on a jet-ski. I’ll let you be the judge of that little excursion.

Correction: I accidentally posted photos of James Packer, the billionaire that was jet-skiing with Russell, whose physical transformation has indeed been drastic but, well, not that drastic. Here are some updated photos below:

Agent Bedhead just sent over this Holy Moly story – apparently, there are some new murmurings that Peaches Geldof and Eli Roth have split up. Now – there have been rumors about their demise before, just as there have been rumors about an engagement (which I think Peaches planted). But Eli and “accomplished journalist” Peaches have weathered the storms before, and they’ve made it through seven months together, which is longer than many of us were predicting. Anyway, this latest rumor stems from a series of tweets that Peaches made, and then deleted. Holy Moly reports that Peaches first tweeted a quote from Shakespeare, tweeting: “So dear I Love him that with him, all deaths I could endure. Without him, live no life.” Then she deleted it, and replaced it with this:

[From Peaches Geldof’s Twitter]

Is this enough for a breakup story? Eh. Peaches hadn’t tweeted much in the past week, and Eli’s Twitter reveals his obsession with the Segway dude’s death. Could it be that neither one of them want to come out and confirm it? Or is it that they’re still together, and both are just extremely vapid? Eh.

UPDATE: Thanks to SamiGirl for her link – The Gossip Wrap-up is confirming that Peaches and Eli have broken up, and they’re insinuating that Eli did the dumping, and that Peaches is devastated. YAY!

A few days ago, Peaches Geldof announced that she and Eli Roth were celebrating their six month anniversary. She announced it on Twitter – ha. Anyway, that little piece of news had some people (including me) waxing on and on about how we didn’t think it would last, and how they might make it work for the long haul, all of that good stuff. Now, surprise, surprise, they might be engaged, for real. Peaches and Eli were out last night, and it looks like Peaches was wearing a rock on her important finger (I don’t want to know what she does with that finger, I really don’t).

There are tons of photos of Peaches flashing the rock last night, as she and Eli went to two celebrity-paparazzi haunts in London, The Ivy and Bungalow 8. However, when The Daily Mail contacted Peaches’ rep (that poor bastard), the news came down that Peaches is “100% not engaged.” She is, however, 100% press-hungry famewhore. I really believe this is their dynamic at this point – I used to think Eli was way more into Peaches than she was to him, but now I kind of think that Peaches is pushing Eli to make a commitment while he’s all “Um, no, you’re just the girl that I can be a freak with. I’m probably going to end up married to a nice Jewish girl, not some famewhore English muffin.”

You know what? Even though I didn’t think Peaches Geldof and Eli Roth would last for two seconds, much less six months, I do understand why they work as a couple: Peaches has pretty much remade herself into a Hollywood girl and professional girlfriend, and she’s given over her life to be with Eli. Now, her life wasn’t all that awesome before – lots of Heroin, Xenu, lemons and strange hookups with dudes who would eventually tell their story on Reddit. So, this new Peaches is actually a step up. She seems together, personally and professionally. She’s lost some weight, her hair and style has improved, she got new teeth and a Mystic tan. All in all, she actually seems like a pretty good girlfriend – she travels with Eli a lot, she supports his career and he supports her career as “an accomplished journalist.” Ha. Of course, I still have questions about why they are with each other in the first place, but I guess I’ll never get an answer:

It was widely predicted that Peaches Geldof’s relationship with Eli Roth wouldn’t last. After all, she’s a party girl nearly half his age, best known for her famous parents, while he’s a prolific film director, who all but invented the genre dubbed torture porn. But it seems that the seemingly mismatched couple couldn’t be happier, putting on a show of togetherness as they celebrated their six month anniversary last night.

Roth, 38, kept a possessive arm around the back of his girlfriend as they arrived for the London opening of his new movie, The Last Exorcism. Peaches looked a picture of old school glamour with her smoky black eye make-up and clinging leopard print dress, accentuating her curves. The 21-year-old kept close to her lover, only breaking off to pose seductively for the cameras.

She had earlier tweeted: ‘Its Eli Roth and my six month anniversary tonight, and the night of The Last Exorcism London premiere – a lovely evening indeed.’

And she seemed equally delighted with her fashion choice, tweeting: ‘I’m in love with black velvet Dolce & Gabbana court shoes I’m wearing tonight.’

Roth appears equally besotted, describing Peaches as an ‘accomplished journalist’.

The couple set tongues wagging about their romance when they were photographed together at Vanity Fair’s prestigious post-Oscars party earlier this year. Just days later they were photographed kissing and hugging, enjoying a string of dates in Los Angeles. The pair have rarely been apart since.

Do you see this going any further? I kind of do. I think they’re going to get married, honestly. I think Peaches wants it, and I think Eli will eventually propose – but probably only if Peaches converts, which she might. I think Peaches was the one to push the engagement rumor back in July, as a way to spurn Eli on, to give him the idea. I know, I’m giving her a lot of credit for being clever. But don’t you see it?

Here are some photos of “accomplished journalist” Peaches Geldof in Germany – she tweeted these. By the way, it’s her boyfriend Eli Roth who is calling her an “accomplished journalist”. I’ll get to it in a second. First, can I just say something about Peaches? What with the new (horse) teeth, the big orange tan and now with her newly slimmed-down figure, doesn’t Peaches look… kind of good? Yes, she’s “gone Hollywood” but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Peaches actually looks kind of cute here. I hate myself now.

But of course she’s still pretty dumb and ridiculous. But her boyfriend Eli Roth can’t admit that. Eli was on Chelsea Handler’s show this week, and Chelsea tried to joke with him about “Peaches” being a stripper’s name. Eli’s reaction? Oh, God:

Peaches’ film director boyfriend Eli Roth defended her on a U.S. talk show, describing her as an ‘accomplished journalist’.

Host Chelsea Handler on E! show Chelsea Lately admitted she thought Geldof was a stripper due to her unusual first name.

Handler said: ‘I want to talk to you about your new girlfriend Peaches Geldof. I met you when you came to my book party and you were with Peaches but I didn’t know who Peaches was, I know she is famous but I didn’t know who she was. So when you said Peaches, I thought she was a stripper. And I kind of felt bad because I felt like I almost kind of treated her like a stripper.’

In reply, Roth said: ‘No she’s actually produced three documentaries that have aired on British television, she’s an accomplished journalist.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Um… what? Peaches “writes” a “column” for Nylon Magazine. For the most part, she makes up lists, like this. She pontificates, “Dear Diary” style. Granted, she writes for a magazine and I don’t, and that does piss me off. But what pisses me off more is that Peaches Geldof is not anywhere near a “journalist” or a gifted magazine writer. Case in point: over the weekend, I got my Septemeber Vogue, and I’m still pouring through it. I haven’t finished it yet because I keep going back and re-reading Louisianan Julia Reed’s beautiful and heartbreaking essay on BP and the Gulf Coast. Julia Reed is an accomplished journalist. Peaches Geldof is an air-headed druggie bimbo famewhore.

Back to Eli Roth for a second: he’s working on an “ironic” horror film called Thanksgiving. He got the idea when he made a fictional “trailer” for it for Grindhouse. Pajiba has coverage here, and they’re bashing him for it.

I know many of you are going to be all “What?” and “Who?” and “Them? Aren’t they crackheads?” But seriously, this is interesting. According to the British tabloids, Eli Roth and Peaches Geldof are engaged and plan to be married in January. Eli is 38 years old, and a successful director (Hostel) and actor (Inglourious Basterds) who has A-List friends like Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt. Peaches Geldof is 21 years old, and she’s a lazy little idiot who writes listicles for Nylon about why she dislikes baggy sweaters. Oh, and she was in a crazy heroin-and-Xenu sex scandal, which caused her boyfriend Eli to publicly mock her ex-lover’s mommy. Sounds like a heavenly combo, right? Oh, and it will be Peaches’ second marriage.

PEACHES GELDOF is to wed for the second time – aged 21 – after a whirlwind romance with horror movie director ELI ROTH. BOOMTOWN RAT SIR BOB’s wild child daughter, whose previous marriage to US musician MAX DRUMMEY lasted just seven months, will tie the knot on a New York rooftop in January.

Peaches and Inglourious Basterds star Eli, 38, plan a Jewish ceremony in front of 50 guests with views across Manhattan.

And last night a Hollywood pal said: “We wouldn’t be surprised if they started a family together very soon.”

The couple have only been dating since March but Peaches recently moved to Los Angeles to live with her lover. They bought a pet pig together and Sir Bob is understood to have given Eli his seal of approval.

The friend 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 Quentin Tarantino. Apart from the trendy venue it will be a traditional Jewish ceremony in keeping with Eli’s family faith. They are trying to keep it secret – I don’t know if Peaches’ dad knows yet.”

In April Eli wrote an open letter defending Peaches after artist Ben Mills posted saucy pictures of her on the internet following a one-night stand.

[From The Sun]

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Eli’s Judaism was the dealbreaker in this relationship? Like, all of the Xenu, heroin, Confederate flags, raunchy photos and general stupidity are just fine, but when Sir Bob Geldof finds out that his darling crackhead daughter is actually going to marry a practicing Jew, he’s going to put his foot down. Oh, and what Eli’s poor family must be feeling! Good Lord. Will Peaches convert?!?

UPDATE: Agent Bedhead just informed me that both Eli and Peaches are denying they are engaged on their Twitter accounts.

As many know (but don’t care), Peaches Geldof is on Twitter. Since she doesn’t really have a job – whoops, I mean, “she writes a bullsh-t column for Nylon” – beyond being Eli Roth’s girlfriend and manufacturing bullsh-t scandals, Peaches has a lot of time to tweet and get into cracked out shenanigans. She’s like a less-productive Lindsay Lohan, if that makes sense. Anyway, Peaches and Eli Roth went to see Salt last night, and Peaches was not impressed. In fact, Peaches took to her Twitter to complain:

[From Peaches’ Twitter]

Now, I didn’t think Salt had the best script either, and I said so because, you know, it’s my job to bitch and moan about celebrities. I’m a professional bitch, that’s how I like to think of it. But Peaches is not a professional. She barely does anything. She’s a lazy little twit, but she deigns to mock La Jolie? And you know Eli Roth and Brad Pitt are tight too – will Brad call Eli and tell him to rein in his girlfriend? Or did Eli share Peaches’ opinion and he and Brad are no longer BFFs?

This is a photo Peaches Geldof posted on her Twitter account yesterday. I have to admit, she doesn’t look half bad. This might be one of her better looks. Sure, she’s been tanning too much and she looks like a baked potato. But the stars-and-stripes bikini looks good on her, and overall the look is one of her most successful ensembles. At the very least, it’s way better than her cheesy Confederate flag t-shirt. Judging from her tan in this photo – and from her bright orange glow in recent red carpet appearances - I think Peaches must spend most of her time in LA with boyfriend Eli Roth laying out in the sun, and/or doing drugs and having sex. What a life.

After denying rumours that she uses fake tan, Peaches Geldof made sure to post this photograph of herself sunbathing on Twitter.

The bronzed socialite also made a political statement during her tanning session, by supporting the USA in a stars-and-stripes bikini. She might be British, but Peaches seems to have a love affair with the States and spends half her time in Los Angeles and the other half in London. And the 21-year-old wanted to update her friends back in the UK via Twitter, while she lapped up the sun on a rooftop in LA.

Despite being busy on a phone call, she managed to take the flattering snap of her curves – making sure to push her cleavage together for fans.

At least she kept her bikini top on this time though, after recent naked internet photos led to some embarrassment recently.

Sir Bob Geldof’s daughter also sported heart shaped sunglasses which would normally protect her from the paparazzi’s flashing cameras, but when they’re not around she makes sure to take her own publicity shots.

[From The Daily Mail]

Of course, it’s not all sunshine and Lolita-sunglasses. Peaches tweeted this sad message:

[From Peaches’ Twitter]

Oh, poor little thing! Maybe she should stop looking, acting and dressing so young? What am I saying? That’s what Eli Roth likes about her the most.

Header: Twit-pic of Peaches courtesy of her Twitter.

Christ on a cracker, Peaches looks pregnant, doesn’t she? Fortunately, I think it’s just this hideous bathmat dress. Or is it? I’m looking through all of the photos, and from some angles, she doesn’t look quite so knocked up. Maybe the bathmat dress is cut strangely and gives the impression that she has an enormous gut? Something even more shocking – The Daily Mail chose to ignore the obvious “Is she pregnant?” story and focused instead on the “Peaches has a horrible orange fake tan” story.

Peaches Geldof has experimented with many things in her time – and last night was no exception. Doing away with her natural skin tone, the 21-year-old socialite turned up to a Hollywood party, sporting a shocking fake tan.

Wearing an unflattering textured, strapless dress, Peaches ensured she displayed her orange flesh to the maximum as she posed for photographs at Teddy’s club at the Roosevelt Hotel.

And with her revealing outfit exposing her many tattoos, she really was a sight to behold.

Peaches was joined by her new boyfriend, film director and actor Eli Roth, 38, and her father, Sir Bob.

The star has been in hot water again recently – having been sacked from her Ultimo underwear contract after becoming embroiled in a drugs scandal – so perhaps daddy came along to keep an eye on his eldest daughter.

However Sir Bob, 58, may well have felt out of place amongst all the young starlets who turned out to the party.

[From The Daily Mail]

I really don’t get Peaches, and I don’t get this relationship. Nothing has convinced me that Peaches is anything but Britain’s version of Paris Hilton. It would be like Hugh Grant coming to America and dating Paris Hilton. That’s how wrong this relationship is.

CB wanted me to mention how stoned Peaches looks. Doesn’t Peaches know how bad that is for the baby?!?
