OMG Peaches
Dear God. Someone gave Peaches Geldof permission to unleash her ‘neogothicpostironicimmateswithcarlbarat’ bile on the publishing world and MTV thought it would be, like, sooo entertaining if they made a documentary, ‘The Magazine: Peaches, Disappear Here’, all about it. Cue the trials and tribulations Geldof experiences while producing this ‘proper’ magazine – the name of which is based on Bret Easton Ellis’s novel ‘Less Than Zero’. Deep.
What emerges straddles ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘Britain’s Worst Teenagers’, as Geldof slags off her assigned magazine team to mentor James Brown, Loaded’s founder, and criticises them to their faces in a very Alan Sugar-like manner.
MTV bosses have called her a monster – and they’re quite right to. The only charming thing that emerges about her is her dress sense.
I know it’s oh so chic to slag off the Geldofs and blame them for world destruction, but the fact that the mini-tyrant is now working at NYLON magazine’s TV channel in New York is enough to make any journalist’s eyes bleed.
Had the NYLON editors seen this documentary beforehand, particularly the part where she insists on interviewing Tim Burgess, only to ask him innovative questions like ‘Where did the name The Charlatans come from?’, her career path would be a different story indeed.
