Peaches Geldof to Study Scientology for the Fame

Peaches Geldof is one of those, poor, underprivileged celebrity kids that, despite having very famous parents, loads of cash and a high-partying lifestyle, isn’t actually that famous. She’s tried plenty of nifty tricks in the past to elevate her level of celebrity status: the numerous drug incidences, her shot-gun marriage to a fledgling rocker, etc, etc.

Now, however, Peaches has found the perfect way to ensure she spends the rest of her young life partying it up with New York’s “It” club – she’s going to convert to Scientology.

Yes, according to a pal of Peaches, the daughter of Sir Bob Geldof is planning to begin the necessary training to become a Scientologist like her idol, Katie Holmes, who she hopes to be bosom buddies with once she’s completed the indoctrination.

Ms. Geldof’s friend explained that Peaches became “totally smitten” with Holmes after interviewing the actress earlier in the year, and has since decided that Scientology is what she needs to make it in the world of the rich and famous.

“Peaches was very impressed by Katie, she loved interviewing her and really wanted to become friends with her,” said the pal. “She thought that taking up Scientology would be the perfect springboard to work her way into that New York clique.”

The friend added: “She knows her dad won’t be happy about it, but she feels it will help her move into bigger and better celeb circles, so she is willing to keep up with her studies to become a fully fledged Scientologist.”

Apparently Peaches Geldof is that shallow. Who knew??

Australia in New York

If ever there was a movie hyped to the max, Australia is it.

Heck, I live in the country, and even I’m sick to death of hearing “Australia” this and “Australia” that for the past six months. The movie might be fantastic, but I’m pretty “Australia-ed” out right now.

Speaking of which, those crazy folk behind the blockbuster – Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman – brought Australia to New York City, in all its sunburnt glory.

They even wore matching outfits in a fitting nod to our rugged landscape.

Nude Harry Potter Heading to Broadway

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has begun preparations for his upcoming Broadway debut, which will see him reprise the role of Alan in Peter Shaffer’s psychological stage drama Equus.

The 18-year-old boy wizard will drop his pants in front of a New York audience when the production goes on show in the States this fall.

Previews will begin on September 5 at the Broadhurst Theatre, with an official opening night scheduled for September 25.

Though Radcliffe is excited about starring on Broadway, he’s a little anxious that his 10-minute nude scene won’t go down as well in the Big Apple as it did in London.

“It will be amazing,” Radcliffe said, “but I will be terrified because I was talking to [costar] Richard Griffiths about playing New York, and he said the most stupid thing you can do is underestimate New York audiences.”
