Don't let Peaches near BB!

Posted by Amanda Vlietstra

Rumour has it Peaches Geldof is currently being considered as a possible replacement for Big Brother’s Big Mouth presenter Russell Brand, despite the pilot show she filmed descending into chaos.

"She was like a sulky teenager,” a source said. (Hey, source, she IS a sulky teenager.) “But because the show is meant to be anarchic, a lot of people feel she could be a great asset, despite not being a skilled presenter."

Hmmm. I really do beg to differ. Yes, Peaches is ”outspoken”, but so are Charlotte  Church, Lily Allen, Cheryl Cole and hundreds of other stroppy young women who speak before they think. It doesn’t mean that what pours out of their foul little mouths has any merit or value whatsoever, it just means they haven’t yet learnt when to keep it zipped.

But the BB bosses may have a point. People will tune in if Peaches hosts the show – if only to watch her fail. It might come as a shock to Bob’s pampered princess, but in the real world – where teenagers have a curfew, can’t afford hair extensions at several hundred pounds a pop every month or so, and have to take Saturday jobs at burger bars to fund their social life instead of using their connections to get lucrative writing/DJing/presenting gigs – she really isn’t all that popular.

It doesn’t help that, every time she’s photographed, she’s got a face like a slapped a***. Maybe she’s trying to make that sulky expression her trademark look like Posh’s pout, but the fact that she doesn’t even seem to be enjoying her privileged existence – something that thousands of girls her age would kill for – just makes her seem revoltingly spoilt.

To be fair to Peaches, it can’t always be easy living in Dad’s shadow, not to mention growing up without a mum. If I was her, I’m absolutely sure I’d be using my status as the offspring of celebrity royalty to get as many freebies and snogs off famous men as I could.

But that doesn’t make it any less annoying that she gets to write articles for newspapers and present television programmes when there are thousands of teenagers out there who’d do a far better job, but will never get the breaks she does. She’d be a lot more endearing if she showed some awareness of this, instead of wandering round with a condescending sneer on her face.

Peaches: you’re going to have to try a lot harder if you don’t want people to see you as a spoilt little rich girl. But with all that money, the designer wardrobe and the, er, cool boyfriend, you probably don’t care anyway!

Peaches is a moody, un-charismatic teenager with no screen presence who leeches off her dads fame. She's not talented so don't put her on T.V!

re: Peaches Geldof, No way should anyone without the HUGE personal presence of Russel B take up the reins of "Mouth". If St. Bob were interested, that WOULD be a different matter.
