She'd be like Madonna - terrible surgery and a series of decades younger toy boys.

Yeah she wouldn't be able to cope with growing old, she would probably be flirting with her daughters' boyfriends and their mates, cringe fest!!
Thank you for sharing this, I watched the whole episode last night. At first she is her usual quick, funny self, but Ian Hislop is such a prick here.
With Paul Merton, it’s good natured banter, but with Hislop, it quickly becomes clear that he absolutely hates her.
His comments aren’t like the usual HIGNFY jokes, as someone else said, it’s just bullying. You know he’s gone too far because even Angus Deyton basically says, “come on, she’s our guest”.
The fact that she had to ask him to be kind isn’t because she couldn’t handle the banter, it’s because he crossed a line, and was just treating her with total contempt, in front of a live audience.
Article in the DM (well, non article) showing Pixie out for a walk with her daughter. Did we know her baby was a daughter before?
When Robbie said “dickheads take coke” I could hear her saying it! It was very droll, which wasn’t something I’d noticed before but she could be, rather than the frothy flirt schtick I remembered.
I’ve still got mine! Amazon, here I comeBloody hell, I remember reading that 20 years ago, wish I'd have kept it
I can’t unsee how much she looks like Terence Trent D’Arby in those pics
Upthread a photo of Bob's sister is posted. Pixie looks like her with the wide spaced eyes . Looks like a GeldofI can’t unsee how much she looks like Terence Trent D’Arby in those pics
I totally agree. He took it way beyond banter and acted like he strongly disliked her. The other 2 looked embarrassed at the end! He had to get the last word too, when she finally retorted back to him and he said something about even her insults are related to genitalia! Bullying twit!
It's a boy dunno why they keep saying daughter.
Yes I heard that too from a friend who was an extra on set!! An absolute wagon she is!! To be honest when I heard what he said I thought “ what an absolute bleep”!!
It’s more the jawline that is like him. I actually don’t believe she is TTD’s daughter, but it would be extremely ironic if she was after what happened with Hughie Green
I thought she came across as a bit arrogant and self entitled in interviews.
I very much enjoyed this book, sort of an autobiography mixed with the history of British food, through her life.
The drugs must be such a huge elephant in the room for the Geldofs. The whole documentary just didn’t mention it, and whatever biography I read back in the day didn’t either.
Do people really go from being a famous teetotaller to overdose-level heroin In a few years? I know it is something that sadly happens that people use heroin regularly and take more and more, then they have some time off it, then when they go back they take the dose they used to have, but they overdose because their time off it has reduced their tolerance. But to get to that stage you had be using heroin regularly enough to be upping the dose in the first place.
In the bio I read years ago it said Paula didn’t drink until Michael died. Seems very strange. I can’t imagine the chaos and pain in her head to be going through that awful bereavement with a young baby, no family to fall back on, and then starting to experiment with all the many ways alcohol makes you feel.
Peaches was on methadone and had been for 2 1/2 years at only 25. Surely that indicates serious, longterm drug abuse.
Bob Geldof has/had quite a lot of power IMO. Going back to your point @lamaitresse about the drugs bust at Michael and Paula’s. There must have been tonnes of drugs going on for years, with ultimately terrible effects, but the one thing they did work to do was keep it out of the press. Speculation, your Honour.

I love those words @lamaitresse these were three young, vibrant people tragically gone too soon. RIP.
I know me too - she really is very like him.I can’t unsee how much she looks like Terence Trent D’Arby in those pics
I don’t think she was teetotal tbh. I did at one point, but I think when celebs say they don’t do drugs, they usually mean hard drugs and don’t count weed. However, having said that, I have a friend who didn’t touch drugs til she was in her 40’s and then went on a 10 year bender (she probably did everything except heroin but she’s now clean). She actually reminds me a bit of Paula because she was in a relationship that was toxic AF from the outside, but she hasn’t had a serious relationship since they broke up over 20 years because she thinks they were soulmates and only split because they ‘loved each other too much’ (i.e both of them were addicted to the drama, dv on both sides, cheating, splitting up, getting back together etc). Meanwhile, he’s moved on, got married and had kids with someone else.
In her book, Paula talks about her exposure and usage to drugs from about the age 12. It was just booze (until the tragedy), that didn't feature.
I just cannot compute how being a self obsessed (and MH obsessed) hedonistic drug user (before MH died) makes someone a good parent and person, and the more boring parent who looks a bit grumpy but raised the kids and one who wasn’t even his, makes him the bad guy
MH was a complete mess, during his RS with Paula he declined so much. In part as INXS became outdated. Look at the TGIF interview. He looked awful. I love MH as a musician, but I don’t think he was a good parent. I don’t hate Paula, but she was a terrible parent. They both got a lot of stick for their OWN bad choices
Even Bono and friends got sick of them and stopped hanging out with him and Paula as they were always high. They had OPIUM in the house with kids - they deserved to get into trouble. It’s well known MH was using all kinds of drugs for a long time. A good mother would not have risked exposing her kids to that life. Their love was obsessive and unhealthy and destroyed both of them. It was not Bobs fault
