Can anyone explain why outside of Nylon or catalogs for high-end leggings, Peaches Geldof (née Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof) continues to carry any kind of noted significance? Oh, because she's the daughter of faded rocker Bob Geldof and weighs about three stone -- the ideal weight for runway models? Well then. I suppose that makes her vow of sobriety at the NME Awards last night all the more relevant to the ills of the world.

In a move of brazen virtuosity, the 19-year-old (that's legal drinking age in the UK, by the by!) placed a booze ban on herself at the ceremony. She was destined not to unravel at the seams like countless other starlets before her. Impressive, considering what she's going through while she has to make the rounds at London Fashion Week. And with Geldof avoiding even a drop of the poison, the world didn't spin off its axis; all the continents didn't collide into one another to form a New Pangaea; Amy Winehouse didn't suddenly release her third album. In fact, everything went according to plan. MGMT and The Killers picked up significant musical prizes, and Geldof avoided awkward stumbles or booze-fueled slap-fights. Although Pete Doherty won barely lost Sexiest Male that same night. And with him (nearly) winning such a prize, it's a safe bet to assume that someone snatched all the uncorked liquor from Geldof's table and retroactively spiked the indie electoral's Kool-Aid.
