Only 19-years-old and headed to divorce court. Yep, Peaches Geldof, Sir Bob's problem child, is ending her six-month marriage to American musician Max Drummey. Such a shock, right! Deploying the "we'll always be good friends" line of defense, the couple, who wed in Las Vegas after a courtship, if you could call it that, of only a few weeks, issued a joint statement. "After much soul-searching we have made the mutual decision to end our marriage and have agreed to go our separate ways. Our parting is amicable and both of us still respect and care about each other immensely. There were no other people involved," the statement said. Or is that a fib on Peaches' part? The Sun in London reports that the New York transplant (lucky us!) is hot for another musician, Donald Cumming, who fronts a band called the Virgins. "Peaches has been seeing Donald for weeks. She really likes him. She couldn't care less about Max. As far as she's concerned she just married him for a laugh and he needs to move on now that she's got bored of him," a source told the paper. Peaches moved to New York last fall to intern for Nylon magazine, and to take a class at NYU. We don't know what's become of her college career, but her pieces in the magazine about her hipster life here are always roundly ridiculed by media watchers at home in London.
