Primrose Hill Gang

[cholulamare]

Rhys Ifans is still mates with Pearl and Danny, theres a video of them trying to start a car with Zoe Grace (who's ex is from Pulp). Most of that lots kids go to Beadales. All friends with the Law's, Sam Taylor Johnson and Jay J kids. Vivienne Westwords grandchild Cora Corre. Davinia has bought 2 of Noels houses, the last one recently. Lisa Moorish is another one from that scene.

Lisa Moorish, who had a kid with Pete Doherty, who went out with Kate Moss for ages, who apparently shagged Anthony Rossomundo - briefly Pete's replacement in the Libertines and future bandmate of his Libertines bandmate Carl Barat - in Sadie Frost's kids play house. Lisa Moorish who also had a kid with Liam Gallagher, who was married to and had kids with both Patsy Kensit & Nicole Appleton, and also shagged Lily Allen, who went out with Jay Jopling, who was previously married to Sam Taylor-Wood, whose kids are mates with Sadie Frost and Jude Law's kids, one of whom (Rafferty) went out with Rita Ora, who apparently also went out with both David Beckham's agent Dave Gardener - who was married to Davinia Taylor, who was best mates with Kate Moss - and his son Brooklyn, and another of whom (Iris) was a bridesmaid in Kate Moss' wedding to Jamie Hince, whose ex is his Kills bandmate Alison Mosshart, who was allegedly set up by Kate Moss on a date with her ex Pete Doherty, who has a kid with... we're back to the beginning.

Do they just not know any other people?

 

[Lanavalentine]

Think it was both of them.

Fairplay to Nicole K! I would have banged every straight man who entered my sight if I’d been stuck with Tom Cruise for 10 years, too.

^That's harsh. Armstrong has never set herself up as some sort of new age wellness guru and is simply someone who's gone through a divorce. I wish people would leave her the fuck alone.

The autobiography ‘All That Glitters’ by Pearl Lowe has some incredible stories in. For example her openly snorting lines of cocaine at a party while heavily pregnant and others encouraging her . Taking ecstasy in the hospital hours after giving birth to her son. Are just a couple of things that spring to mind. It’s well worth a read.

Apparently she wrote it when she’d recently got sober and needed the cash and now regrets being so honest

I finished reading that book recently then a week later read an interview with her in The Sunday Times where she was talking about her life in the country. I had to laugh when she said 'I was a young mum so while my friends were out partying I was changing nappies and living like a teenager in the '50's!' I thought Yeah you missed the coke snorting in the delivery room, dumping Daisy on your parents to bring up and your massive smack addiction! I think like a lot of them they've reinvented themselves to such an extent that they believe their own bullshit!

I'm guessing most interested in this thread are all a similar age. I loved seeing the wild pics/stories of the papers of them out and about esp KM. Trying to look similar to them and lifestyle . Now I look back and it makes me a bit sick, remembering the story about the kid eating a pill thinking its smartie!! it makes me feel sick ( esp now I have a kid) I don't think it stopped them though! who's kid was it again Sadie frost and Jude law??

Remember Kate’s clothing line at topshop? I had a red top and some denim hot pants from it, god I thought I was gorgeous going out wearing them

Alcoholic drug users turned “holistic experts” the second the fame (and their looks) went. Loved Sadie Frost on the antiques show Four Rooms. She proved week after week she knows as much about art and antiques as I know about Plymouth Argyle FC
Always wonder how so many British women fancy serial adulterer Jude Law out of all of them. His antics turn my stomach

excellent work

Imagine how many languages I could learn if I could empty my brain of this kind of information

She was in my friend’s year at Bolton School and she’s 42

So many people's friends went to school with her! It's amazing. Who went to school with me and wants to verify my age?

 

[Cezanne]

Why can nobody stand Sara McDonald? I don’t know anything about her so I’m interested to know! I’ve heard nothing but bad reports about her- but not much detail!

I have this irrational hatred towards Sara McDonald (considering I’ve never met her). First, she stole (I hate that word because you can’t technically steal a human being, but for the sake of this argument, let’s call it stealing) Noel off Meg Matthews. Meg has always had a bad rep but I loved her and still love her. Leathery skin, questionable morals and arguably the best ever weekly column in The Times. If you really want to reminisce about the Primrose Hill days, please find her columns. Absolutely hilarious, completely detached from reality and full of name dropping, designer mentions and casual debauchery. Meg Matthews was the real deal whereas Sara McDonald had to steal it to become it.

A few years ago, Liam, in typical angry tweeting Liam, made this comment about Sara: ‘Me Mam has your number and it’s 666.’ This to me is confirmation that Sara has divided the family. It‘s Liam, Peggy and Paul on one side and Noel and Sara on the other. When Sara and Noel first split up it was apparently because she had stolen Noel’s passport in order to stop him from going to America. I firmly believe if Sara wasn’t in the picture Oasis would have reconnected. She’s waging this war against Liam because he’s probably the only person who could have yielded some influence over Noel and she can’t have that.

I‘ve just vomited this theory that has been brewing since 1999. Forgive me.

 

[Horatio]

The Libertines have been active since 1997 according to Wikipedia, and Pete would have been 18 that year.

1997 is the official date, but they didn’t make a mark- or an album - until 2002. There was no fan base to speak of until then either. So say what you like about Lisa moorish but Astile, their son, was conceived before anyone really knew who the libertines were. Even in 03 when he was born they were still very much on the indie circuit but not widely known.
He only became properly famous in 05 when he got with Kate Moss. But I can’t imagine Lisa moorish has exactly had a reliable stream of child support from him, Liam Gallagher’s cash probably paid for them both honestly.

ive mentioned this in the general celebrity thread but I was a huge fan back then,03-05 was peak Petelmania for me personally. He does have incredible charisma when you meet him in person, so many journalists would comment when doing articles on him. Before the drugs really ruined him there was something magnetic about him, combined with his writing talent, and it’s true he had girls following him around and falling in love all over the place. There was a rumour In 04 he got a 14 year old pregnant. Things got progressively seedier over the years, I took a step back.
I posted this in the other thread too but it seemed to go down well. Plus very appropriate for here. A very delayed secret gig in a very seedy pub that was half closed down by this point in Islington. We waited until about 1am for them to turn up but it was worth it.

This was taken in I think the spring of 2005, I remember it was a few months before Glastonbury because after the gig I was waiting for my dad to pick me up (I was 15) and the two of them appeared, looking for a cab. “See you at Glastonbury” my little fan girl self said..: “see you at Glastonbury!” They replied. Then as kate stood on the kerb looking for a cab at 2 am on Essex road a car slowed down thinking she was a prostitute... before realising who she actually was. I’ll never forget their face !

Re Lisa Moorish - unsure I'd it's been mentioned elsewhere but I think she also briefly dated Steve Coogan

This reminded me of this fantastic anecdote I saw recently, unrelated to Primrose Hill set but worth posting for the sheer ridiculousness:

 

[Skiddidlydaddle]

There are also women who steal sperm from condoms.

Why are you determined to "blame" the women? Jude Law is a male slag who apparently sleeps around and does not practice safe sex. As someone said, he is the common denominator here.

 

[Won’t you have a cup]

Also, I’m off on one now, what’s with her story about not wanting to date a married man? What bollix!

In the linked article she talks about hanging around a club in Ibiza in 2000 when Noel asked her to hold his beer and fags whilst he went to the gents (the old romancer). How coincidental that she was standing near him. Then when he came out he started talking to her, after which she got in a cab with him back to Ibiza town and gave him her number. Sara, of course, was entirely passive during this encounter. She was in no way hoping to get off with a multi-millionaire rock star. No.

Lest we think that Sara is any old groupie, she informs us that she told Noel that she had no wish to date a married man. Him being inconveniently married to Meg Mathews at the time, and all. Virtuous Sara! That will be why she got in the cab with him and gave him her number. Because she didn’t get involved with married men, you see.

Okay, nipped over from the Davinia Taylor thread with my Kate Moss anecdote.

My husbands friend and wife have a little clothes and accessories shop on Paxos, it is a beautiful little shop with really beautiful clothes and handmade bags/jewellery etc. #notanad #justsettingthescene

One afternoon in Summer 2016 they left their summer worker in charge of the shop. Two women came in, they spent some time browsing and one of them wanted to try some dresses on. The assistant told them there was no changing room (it's a small place). The woman said to her friend "are there any paps about?". Deciding there wasn't she stripped off topless in the shop and tried on the dresses. She liked them and got out her credit card, only to be told "sorry we are cash only! There is a cash machine across the square". The woman started huffing and puffing and effing and jeffing then stormed out.

The shop assistant thought well I won't see them again. But, 5 minutes later they returned with the cash and paid and left.

The owners returned for the evening shift and the assistant told them about the bad tempered English woman who came in and stripped off. By this time, the rumour had gone around the island that Kate Moss had arrived and was wandering around. They checked the cctv and yes, they had sold her 2 dresses which she was then papped wearing in the Daily Fail.

Kate Moss flashes her legs in emerald green summer dress

Modelling pursuits took a back seat during a current holiday in Greece – but Kate Moss was still centre of attention during a day out on Sunday afternoon.

This is said dress. Shop assistant said she had a very normal body and sun damaged face and her language was terrible!

 

[Vanillaco]

I just found that myself Haha


She did exactly that on her 30th birthday in 2004, in a floor-length, sequinned dress first worn by Britt Ekland to the 1974 premiere of The Man with the Golden Gun. The dress could not have been more perfect for the party theme: The Beautiful and Damned, in tribute to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s decadent tale of broken morality. Festivities started with drinks at Claridge’s, continued at Sam Taylor-Johnson’s (then Taylor-Wood) house, before returning to Claridge’s until beyond early hours.

I forgot Sam Taylor Johnson was also part of that gang

I think that's why they wont ever be bettered. They were achingly cool at the time. Brits who were at the top of their game ( mostly) and were intensely private, only giving away snippets of their lives for the delectation of the great unwashed. The mystery was part of the fascination. Nowadays everything is on Instagram. We know too much about celebs today and their lives. There are only very few who refuse to put themselves on social media and the press are too lazy/ cant afford to find out gossip about most of them so gossip pages are filled with paid for pieces by the celebs themselves or made up stuff from gossip sites.

 

[FOMO]

She was at school with my gran... she’s definitely 78

 

[Mokie]

Davinia’s Dad made his millions from selling toilet paper (oh the glamour). She went out with Ryan Giggs years ago when he was tipped at the new George Best and was known as Davinia Murphy then. Ryan’s best mate was Dave Gardner. Davinia and Ryan split up. Dave Gardner was going out with a girl called Stacey Cooke at the time. Ryan started dating Dave’s sister Emma, long term and at one point she became pregnant but had a miscarriage. Ryan then shacked up with Stacey Cooke and Davinia got with and ended up marrying Dave Gardner. Dave and Davinia ended up moving down to London, they bought Supernova Heights in Primrose Hill. Stacey and Ryan were married up until a few years ago. And of course Dave is now with Liv Tyler.

 

[FatimaDirection]

Those of you pondering whether Dave Gardner or Lisa Moorish were actually dealers. I've often pondered that with Fran Cutler, whether her party planning is basically cover all for "she gets the class As in to the building"

 

[Skiddidlydaddle]

Weird, because she was mates with a mate of mine at school, not in Bolton. and she’s 45.
She also went by the name Davinia Murphy back then.

Not another mate of a mate of a mate. Davinia Taylor is turning out like Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
