A guest blog by Josh from Interestment…
Wow, what a crazy time everyone had at London Fancy Dress Week.
The Geldof sisters were there with Ray Winstone?s oiky little girl. She was with Keith Allen?s offspring, who was probably staring from the corner of his eye at Daisy Lowe?s bosoms, which have been having quite an airing lately, if i-D magazine has anything to do with it.
Of course, Alexa Chung ? the only non-celebrity child ? was the glue keeping everyone together, with her pipe-cleaner legs and voice like a loudspeaker. What a trendy bunch. And, yet, so difficult to like. It could, of course, sound like a case of sour grapes, but it's not at all. As this small list of extremely excellent celebrity offspring who we absolutely adore proves?
1. Jeff Bridges, son of Lloyd
Faced with the choice of hoiking himself around A-list hangouts, demanding drinks for free, and blogging about his every waking emotion, or actually doing something, and Jeff chose the latter. It was an intelligent choice. He became a better actor than his dad, and can count Tron, Jagged Edge and the most student-friendly film of all time The Big Lebowski as his legacy. He edges arch magazine editor Peaches Geldof out of the running.
2. Whitney Houston, daughter of Cissy
Yes, she has turned into a strange drug-addled maniac, but before that, this girl was a shining example to all of us. Her mother had sung backing vocals for legends like Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin, but her biggest hit came in 1963, when she squeezed Whitney Houston out of her vagina. The child went on to become even better at singing than God himself, and was mind-bogglingly excellent, until she married Bobby Brown and started playing invisible pianos and telling everyone to get stuffed. Or something like that. She keeps singer/songwriter/chat show thing/flasher Lily Allen on the subs bench.
3. Liv Tyler, daughter of Steven
As the result of sexual intercourse between a Playboy Playmate and a genuine rock star, Liv Tyler is like a better version of Daisy Lowe. She has notched up an impressive film career, when, really, she could probably have just taken her clothes off and stared brainlessly down a camera lens, whilst a sniffing photographer explained in monotonous detail how doing things in black and white makes things look classier. Good for her.
4. Michael Douglas, son of Kirk
For some reason, Michael Douglas doesn't seem to be as popular as he should be. This might be because some people still see him as the spoilt little brat produced of Kirk Douglas?s mighty thespian loins. Yet, he's brilliant. Anyone who has seen Wall Street, Romancing The Stone or the one about drugs where he's the president, already knows that this man has perhaps even surpassed his famous father. Bonus points also for removing Catherine Zeta Jones from the dating circuit. He bulldozes Jaime Winstone out of the running.
