Peaches' Las Vegas marriage, a 'publicity stunt'

Washington (ANI): Peaches Geldof"s ex-husband Max Drummey has confessed that their whirlwind Las Vegas marriage was a "publicity stunt".

The Chester French rocker, who wed Peaches in Las Vegas last year after dating her for just a month, has admitted that the pair got married to boost their celebrity status.

He has even claimed that he is still making money from the marriage. Max has also said that he stays in contact with 20-year-old Peaches as that it keeps him in the public spotlight.
