Peaches Geldof’s piercings & grunge look: retro fabulous or just ugly?

100629x4_geldof_b-gr_01

Here is Peaches Geldof, out and about in LA yesterday. Just in case everyone forgot who she was, she’s dating actor/writer/director Eli Roth, she’s already had an American sex-and-heroin-and-Xenu scandal, and she’s kind of known as the British Paris Hilton, although to Paris’s credit, I actually think Peaches is an even lazier and more talentless human being than Paris. These photos are notable because it seems Peaches has added a nose ring to her “look”. Because it’s 1995, I guess. Also, Peaches seems to be gaining weight rapidly, and she’s been getting a lot of criticism for that. CB theorized that Peaches is pregnant, but I don’t think she is. I think she’s just a bit chubby, and there are so many other things to criticize her for besides her weight. Like thinking she could pull off this bikini.

Either Peaches Geldof just doesn’t care or the grunge look is making a comeback. The socialite was snapped in Hollywood yesterday buying a new ring for her pierced nose and looked as though she’d had a fight with a jumble sale.

And while she may have guessed that her new body piercing would be main the talking point, it was actually her unflattering outfit that drew the most attention. And as she flaunted her new nose ring in her left nostril, she showed off a pair of silver earrings that also looked mismatched, with one bigger and longer than the other.

Her hair hung lankly round her shoulders and down her back, but it was hard to tell whether it was wet from the shower or she’d not been near shampoo for a few days.
Her male companion also sported a bizarre get-up with his bandana, string T-shirt and low-slung plum-coloured trousers.

Peaches is currently living in Hollywood to be nearer to her director boyfriend Eli Roth, 38.

The once-svelte London girl has come under lots of criticism lately for her weight gain, which appears to have happened since moving to LA. And her unflattering outfits seem to go from bad to worse, especially the bikini bandeau top/high-waisted shorts combo she wore this weekend while out for lunch with the same friend.

Her attire couldn’t be more different to her younger sister Pixie, who always leads the fashion pack with her chic yet unique style, leading to her being hailed as one of the young generation’s new style icons.

Yes, but Pixie doesn’t have an A-List American boyfriend, does she? So whatever Peaches is doing, it’s working on Eli. But I can’t help but think again that Eli needs to get his head examined. It’s not even that I’m disturbed by the obvious discrepancy in hotness between the two of them – honestly, that’s refreshing, in a way, to see a hot guy with a completely average-looking girl. What bothers me is that Peaches doesn’t do anything. Sure, she’s a “writer” (what she writes in a month‘s time takes me 20 minutes). But mostly she just hangs out in LA, being Eli’s sullen, budget girlfriend.

    Something about this chick makes my skin crawl. I feel like a horrible judgmental bitch, but it is just one of those gut reactions. I can’t help but wonder what Eli is doing. Surely, he could do better?

  2. kelbear says:

    After looking at that top pic, I feel like I need to shower again and I just did an hour ago. Yuck!

  3. gabs says:

    Lol i feel like showering too now. She does do nothing. I hate socialites that do nothing.

  4. serena says:

    It’s slutty-grundge look, yeah. I like the nose-ring but WASH THAT DAMN HAIR!

  5. Cris says:

    I like the fact that she doesn’t care; I wish I were as confident as she is

  6. Emma says:

    Wow. Chubby? Really? So by chubby, I’m assuming you mean Not Anorexic, right? Not chubby in the conventional definition of the word… because I’d have to say that this chick is most definitely NOT chubby.

  7. Kristin says:

    It doesn’t matter what kind of clothes she wears – she is tore up! Eli Roth is gross too. That’s probably the best he can do.

  8. kiki says:

    Okay, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Eli Roth is unattractive. I never understood why so many people think he’s hot.

  9. Kitten says:

    Eli Roth is creepy too imo…I think the sort of “match” somehow..

  10. Lara says:

    I don’t quite understand the love for Eli Roth here. Since when is he A-List? He had one hit as a director, his acting in Inglourious Basterds was completely derided in an otherwise highly lauded cast (give or take Brad Pitt) and his looks … well, let’s just say beauty truly lies in the eye of the beholder. Not to speak of that childish and ludicrous defence letter he wrote in “honour” of his girlfriend. C+List at best.
    Oh, and yes, grunge is making a comeback.

  11. Lisa Turtle says:

    COME ON… ELI ROTH IS NOT HOT!

    Plus – she is what 17 or 18 years younger than him? He’s a pervert!

  12. JaisyMaisy says:

    Ew, Eli Roth has that whole Danny Wood thing going on where they kind of look like monkeys. NOT HOT.

  13. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    Eli Roth is rather ugly in a creepy, rapey looking sort of way. I have to agree, when did he become A-List? I think he is c-d list in Hollywood. Hostel was a weirdly popular film, but Cabin Fever and Hostel two were failures, were they not? Just because he was in IG, doesn’t boost him to A-List staus, IMHO.

  14. Green Is Good says:

    Scary beyond all reason.

    This is what her daddy’s money is paying for?

  15. denise says:

    Great , googly moogly, this girl is oogly.
    She is a perfect example of how money can’t buy you class.

  16. SammyHammy says:

    Just ugly.

  17. GatsbyGal says:

    “It’s not even that I’m disturbed by the obvious discrepancy in hotness between the two of them – honestly, that’s refreshing, in a way, to see a hot guy with a completely average-looking girl.”

    KAISER YOU’RE KIDDING ME

    Eli Roth is, like, the anti-hot. Which is weird because people always compare him to Sylar from Heroes. And Sylar was HOT. Eli Roth is somehow not at all attractive. He’s a weird-looking mega creeper.

  18. ering says:

    I feel a connection with this girl for various reasons. I have a nose ring just like that, I have tattoos, and I’m in the middle of switching to a no ‘poo regime, so my hair looks kind of gross like that too! That’s where the similarities end, though. I tend to wear dresses and cover up a bit more than she does. And I’m not rich or a celebrity.

  19. Brooke says:

    Eh, the girl has fug tattoos and poor sartorial taste, but she’s not at all fat. That said, I do hate that the sort of entitled, layabout shiftlessness she seems to wholly represent stems from being the beneficiary of a massive fortune that her father ‘earned’ from doing CHARITY. Other than that, I did like Eli Roth in Basterds, though markedly less so after I discovered he was the same creeper who made those grotty slasher flicks.

  20. Liana says:

    Eli Roth is not my cup of tea. There’s something creepy and off-putting about him and I do not find him anywhere near hot.

    Oh, and he’s not A-list. No how no way.

  21. Lulu says:

    They’re both average looking and there is nothing wrong with that. Since when is being average looking something to scoff at?

  22. Annicka says:

    I hate her daisy chain tattoo so. very. much.

  23. original kate says:

    same as it ever was.

  24. anons says:

    did she put the nose ring on for the paparazzi? first pic she’s not wearing it. weird.

  25. girl says:

    If you leave personality out of it, Eli Roth is actually a pretty good looking guy. It is all the BS that surrounds him, like his personality, that are off-putting. Seriously. Calling out the dude’s mom who his girlfriend had a one-night drug and sex bing with? AND putting out contact information for his whole family? On MY-MFing-SPACE??! This is NOT the behavior of a C-lister even. Sucky acting in a Tarantino movie does not automatically make one an A-lister. Don’t even get me started on the crap he writes and directs.

    I do not get the “fat” comments about PG though. Horrible dresser? Yes. Terrible posture? Oh hells yes. But fat? Definitely not.

    And I don’t buy for a minute that she just doesn’t care what other people think of her. She would at least occasionally be caught wearing something that doesn’t look like she went dumpster diving to acquire. She isn’t hideous but she will never be the best looking trust-fund baby and I guess she figures she has to do SOMETHING to stand out from the pack.

  26. a says:

    maybe she’s gained weight from not doing drugs. wish i was that chubby!

    (as in if that’s chubby, i must be FAT)

  27. Kat says:

    Ugh. Get rid of it.

  28. uncle bob says:

    Just another regular old non-celebrity piece of white trash, shame on journalists for having a conciousness so low that this is news.

  29. connie says:

    before i even read the article or the comments i had to put in my two cents: just plain ugly!

  30. Amy says:

    @ girl — I think you totally nailed it. If Eli Roth were a completely different type of guy who didn’t make misogynistic torture porn, he’d be good looking to me.

  31. Liana says:

    he still wouldn’t be good looking to me.

  32. Shay says:

    They both suit eachotehr. Eli is verbally vulgar and she is visually vulgar: horrible tattoos in obvious places, unkempt hair (take a shower Peaches!).
    If she wasn’t sired by Bob Geldof, another gronk in need of a shower, she wouldn’t be famous.

  33. Kate says:

    Ther is no issue concerning whether or not she is fat; she is not fat, not by a long shot.

    But she does look sloppy, dirty, and “used-up” for her very young age.

    And I don’t think Eli is any big prize, either.

  34. DetRiotgirl says:

    I’m glad there are other people out there who find Eli Roth gross. I’m repulsed by him! Between the torture porn and his egotistical, mysogynistic attitude… Ugh, he almost makes Peaches look like a prize in comparison. She’s utterly useless, but at least she doesn’t make me feel like the room just flooded with douche water like he does.

  35. gg says:

    She’s never had a great shape, I think it’s the bad clothes and shoes. And the very unfortunate tattoos. Really – a Unicorn?

  36. MissyA says:

    Someone needs to tell this bitch that the circa 1990’s nose ring and leaving your house with wet hair is my look. Step off.

  37. Jaclyn says:

    Paris H is WAY prettier than her, and I don’t even think Paris is that pretty to begin with…

  38. Nanya Bizness says:

    she’s gross– but she is far from chubby.
    excuse me while i go to the bathroom and force myself to vomit!

  39. Fabulous says:

    She’s alright…just young and doesn’t really know what suits her yet. The grunge thing – well us English girls are known for not taking ourselves too seriously. No full face of make up and groomed hair for us. No thanks.
