If your name's not down

Glitterditch feels a bit geriatric and past-it when informed of the party-going antics of certain young celebrities. It's not just their unfailing energy and slim, boyish hips that gets our goat (see, we're even using OAP lingo), but the fact that many of them, admitted to exclusive nightclubs to get tanked up, are often underage.

We don't pretend that we haven't enjoyed some underage frolics (ahh - the tales that we could tell *stares off into the distance wistfully*), but it still annoys us that famous faces, known for not being legal, get to swan about doing as they please. When we normal folk are found to be underage, we are denied admittance to nightclubs, yet frustratingly this is never the case if you have lots of money and/or famous parents. The likes of Lindsay Lohan, Drew Barrymore and Britney Spears all lived it up as youngsters, prematurely enjoying very adult lifestyles and have subsequently suffered some nasty side-effects. And yet the current crop of budding starlets don't learn from their predecessor's mistakes. That's why Glitterditch couldn't help but chuckle heartily when we read this story.

According to The Metro, seventeen-year-old Pixie Geldof (one of the many bizarrely named offspring of the late Paula Yates and Sir Bob) was refused entry to Bungalow 8 last night. Hallelujah! She queued to gain access to Mariah Carey's 'Excuse My Beauty' party being held there, but was told to sling 'er 'ook. An event organiser was overheard to say: "Rules are rules, it doesn't matter who she is, she's under age and that's what builds this club's reputation. That's why it's exclusive."

Finally - a victory! Normal adults - 1. Underage, pointless celebrities - 0. Fingers crossed it starts a trend and all these fame-hungry brats are made to turn 18 before they can plan their stint in rehab.
