Seriously? OMG! WTF?

As another unflattering portrait of Peaches Geldof emerged, she was defended by an unlikely source – her father.Sir Bob has been a stern critic in the past of his 17-year-old daughter’s penchant for partying.But he insisted to friends that she was ‘just a normal child’ and ‘an all right kid’.He spoke of his love and pride for Peaches, one of three daughters he fathered with Paula Yates, and went on to speak of the difficult ‘family story’ – a reference to Paula’s death from an overdose.And in his usual forthright manner, he added that if he ever thought she really was in any danger, he would go ‘f***ing ballistic’ at her ‘like only Bob Geldof can’.The 55-year-old former pop star, now most famous as the organiser of Live Aid and Live 8, reacted to pictures showing Peaches having what looked like a paper cone inserted into her nostril by a friend.They were apparently taken in the early hours at an after-gig party thrown by a bunch of her aspiring rock star friends in South-West London.Geldof told friends: "As a dad, I just get extraordinarily annoyed at the accusations that have been levelled at her recently."She is a 17-year-old girl. She is allowed to go to no more parties really than other kids go to. She goes to a rock festival. She does a DJ thing on the odd occasion for 80 quid a night. I mean, give her a break."The pictures of her (with a paper cone to her nose) are a great load of s***. It’s just too much. She is only 17. I’m p***ed off about all the stuff that seems to circulate around her."Sir Bob then said he did not think Peaches was a fair target for criticism following her mother’s tragic death, despite the fact that she appeared to court publicity by trying to break into television and having her own newspaper column.He said: "I know our family story. I know she writes stuff and does TV stuff. But f***, she’s a 17-yearold kid who did really well in her AS-levels and now she has gone on to do A-levels. That’s the reality of quite a normal child. That’s where I’m at with this situation."He then warned that he would put her straight in no uncertain terms if she ever got into serious trouble. If she went off the track I would go f***ing ballistic, you know. She’s a pain in the a*** sometimes like all kids but she’s all right. She’s an all right kid and she does all right for herself given the circumstances."If I honestly thought she was doing anything worrying that I should be concerned about, I would go f***ing berserk."You know what I can be like. But that is not what is going on with her. She’s doing just fine. I really want to give her a break."

Good for him!

We’ve got the top secret scoop on who the winner of Rockstar Supernova will be! And we just can’t hold it in a minute longer! The winner won’t be announced for around two more weeks. Keep in mind that Tommy Lee’s band Supernova has the most clout in choosing the winner. After all, they have to tour with this singer. The contestant they selected is a dude -surprise, surprise- and the band feels this is the person who fits in best with the band. Unless something TOTALLY unforseen occurs (like an arrest) this is in the bag. Do you agree with their choice?

If you go to the link you will see who she says it is. Is it really a big reveal when we all knew from day one this is who was going to win?

Babyshambles closed the 2006 Get Loaded In The Park festival yesterday (August 27), with a set which included Libertines classics ‘What Katie Did’ and ‘Time For Heroes’.Frontman Pete Doherty had been given special permission in his bail conditions to play the set, as he currently in rehab while awaiting sentencing for drugs charges. Referencing his predicament, the singer emerged on stage looking gaunt in a striped polo shirt, shouting: "Big up to The Priory and the Metropolitan Police".As his band followed him out a series of cuttings from newspaper headlines flashed across a screen behind them, highlighting words including: Crack, Pete and Kate. Playing songs including ‘Albion’, ‘Killamangiro’ and ‘Pipe Down’, Doherty also paid tribute to Lily Allen, who had played earlier in the day, by performing a brief ska version of her number one hit ‘Smile’.Babyshambles then completed their with an extended version of ‘Fuck Forever’.Scottish breakdance trio The Cuban Brothers compared and DJed the event, at one point dedicating the Mark Ronson version of Radiohead classic ‘Creep’ to "A man called Thom Yorke".They also introduced Babyshambles by asking the crowd to "Say hello to someone who has caused so much controversy: Pete Doherty and Babyshambles". Doherty had to return to his rehab at The Priory following the show. As previously reported, he is due in court for sentencing on September 4 and has been warned by magistrates he faces "the possibility of custody".
