Recent reports claimed, with a completely straight face, that Chester French's Max Drummey (on the left) had admitted that his short-lived marriage to Peaches Geldof was a sham, a stunt, and nothing more. I think it was obvious that he was not being serious. You can tell, look what he said: "It was totally a publicity stunt. 100%. I have Peaches on retainer. She's my friend for money. She also orchestrates publicity stunts for me, I've garnered so much amazing publicity from amazing people."
He's now sent out a statement making it clear that it wasn't serious, saying: "My comments made regarding my marriage were not intended to be taken seriously. I apologize for those comments as well as the obviously stupid, obviously false things that I said regarding Chris Brown. These statements reflect neither reality nor my opinion. It was wrong to make them. I am sorry."
And what did he say about Chris Brown? This: "We're guys who have been hurt by women and I'm glad people like Chris Brown are finally taking it back and hurting women".
So yes, obviously joking. But obviously not remotely funny.
