OH, FOR PETE'S SAKE " … Pete Doherty has become obsessed with Scientology after a lover introduced him to the crazy cult … The junkie rocker is hooked on the barmy religion which believes humans are an exiled race from outer space. Babyshambles frontman Pete, 29 … has bought a pile of books on the subject since meeting Scientologist DJ Nadine Ruddy."
Charming, musically inclined junkie Pete Doherty was voted "Hero of the Year" by readers of NME magazine. As as testament to his heroism, Doherty played an entire set at London's Rhythm Factory the night before the award ceremony, despite being afflicted with a visible, gushing nosebleed. Which, of course, was due to "a scrap with his cat," not prodigious amounts of good cocaine.
Forbes released a list of Hollywood's most influential couples — and we have some issues with it.
Who shouldn't be on the list: Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. Seriously? The only thing that couple influences is our desire to vomit. And then there's Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz, who we thought broke up three years ago.
Who should be on the list: Britney Spears and frappuccinos. If those two don't go the distance, there's no hope for any of us.
The full list, after the jump. CONTINUED »
Pete Doherty has started making plans to open an animal sanctuary near his Wiltshire home, say reports.
…
The rocker was reportedly inspired after he rescued a three-legged hedgehog from the road-side, which he has named Mrs Tiggy-Winkle.
…
"He made sure it got the proper help it needed from a vet and set up a special section for it in his garden. Pete has a big heart. He also loves rats and is looking after one with no tail…"
To the right is Doherty putting a makeshift crack pipe to the mouth of a cat.
For reasons unknown, a female fan passed out during a Babyshambles concert in Berlin last night. Sounds like someone got a little too excited to see Pete Doherty. Perhaps it was the sheer amazement of knowing that the drug addict is still trucking right along, despite the fact that he should have been dead months ago.

Kate Moss' legal team is filing an injunction to prevent her funny ex-boyfriend, Pete Doherty, from participating in the documentary Kate & Pete: A Love Story. According to sources, the sweet title belies the film's sordid content:
"Producers hope he'll let them use a lot of film he and Kate shot on camcorders." But an insider told PageSix.com, "Kate is furious with Pete. She has contacted her lawyers and plans to get an injunction to stop the production." Moss will be horrified if the tapes surface. "Some of it is really raunchy stuff Kate believed would never be seen by anyone else…"
And we thought the celebrity sex tape genre couldn't get any more unappealing. Can you imagine? With the accents and the track marks? No fanks, mate.

A flagging Amy Winehouse was haunted earlier today by Kate Moss' cartoony ex, Pete Doherty, who arrived at the R & B singer's Camden home at four in the morning, guitar in hand.
UK rag the Daily Mail believes the infamous pair may have been using drugs. Their evidence is a photo, taken from a distance, showing several items stuffed into the trunk of a car. One of the items is an opaque bag of "white stuff." Through incessant implying, they say it's probably drugs. We say we're glad our justice system hinges on "reasonable doubt,' what with Daily Mail staffers freely running rabid.

Hey! It's Irina Lazareanu, the model fiancée of Pete Doherty and also the ex-friend of Doherty's old old lady, Kate Moss. What a fringed, unproductive web they weave! But never mind all that: When did models stop looking like models?

With her ex so quickly after their split sober and engaged, it's about time Kate Moss completely moved on from her former boozy, damaged relationship. And what better way to celebrate a blind dive into the dating pool than by literally blinding oneself?
"I love Kate's hair a shorter length and the fringe really looks amazing. She hasn't had a fringe for a long time but it makes her look really fresh and sexy. There's almost an element of a young Michelle Pfeiffer from the Eighties." We feel a late-entry autumn trend coming on…
They call it fringe in the fashion world! How lame and dated are you and your "bangs," wench?

It would appear that a month in rehab away from the drink and the drugs has made a new man out of once perma-high Pete Doherty. Were I the newly engaged musician, I'd say the hell with it: A good tailor costs much less than a good drug dealer.
In an effort to bolster the ever-assailed decorum of the Internet, Mollygood looks to poetry with Someone Haiku. Each day—using 17 syllables or less—you’re given the opportunity to wax poetic about some piece of flotsam or jetsam that’s washed up on the shores of Mollygood. Hopefully this Zen practice will not only bathe you in self-discovery, but also bring a touch of Eastern class to a global network of information that’s devolved into nothing more than tit websites and provocative MySpace pictures.
Today's Someone Haiku winner is eeks:
If two losers fight
in the ring and one falls down,
does a loser “win”?
Well done.
There's a new one just beyond the jump.

British veterinarians have reported Pete "Darth Evader" Doherty to authorities after discovering traces of cocaine in his cat's bloodstream.
The Babyshambles star owns a cat named Dinger, a slang word for syringe, which recently gave birth to a litter of five kittens.
One of the litter became ill and the singer was forced to take the kitten into the vet for tests, where the drug revelation was discovered.
Sources say that, for insurance purposes, the vets were required to put the animal through standard blood work, even though they knew on sight that the kitten was not well.

Because his arresting officers failed to produce him in court within 24 hours of his arrest as the law demands, Pete Doherty has narrowly escaped punishment for his most recent drug offense. Good for Pete; it's harder to gradually kill yourself with heroin in prison, and nobody wants to see him suffer.
