Pete Doherty
Gossip

Pete Doherty has not been heard from in ages.

Fittingly, the supposed rocker and one-time celebrity gossip site regular has returned to prominence by taking part in the two things he does best:

• Taking drugs.
• Getting arrested.

The former boyfriend of Kate Moss was arrested in Switzerland this weekend after being accused of taking drugs on a British Airways flight.

Peter Doherty was detained on arrival in Geneva after cabin staff found him slumped in a toilet on board. He was escorted back to his seat (in economy class, talk about a sign of the times) where he was apparently intoxicated.

A member of the cabin crew found a hypodermic needle in the toilet and the pilot called police to meet the plane when it arrived in Switzerland.

A passenger told the UK's Sunday Mail: “A few people on the plane recognized Pete, who went to the bathroom more than halfway into the flight. He had been in there about 25 minutes when the announcement came for the crew to prepare for landing."

“The crew knocked on the door but Pete didn’t come out."

"They eventually managed to get in there about 10 minutes before we landed. Pete was taken back to his seat and he just looked completely out of it. One of the crew took a needle out of the toilet wrapped in a tissue.”

He was fined but allowed to play his gig before returning to London.

We recommend that the authorities order Pete to go into exile along with Amy Winehouse in St. Lucia for maximum entertainment value.

When Pete Doherty is intimidated by someone else’s capacity to ingest drugs and consume alcohol, you've definitely hit the big time... and may not have much left.

When Amy Winehouse was just a little known singer, Britain’s druggie music star / tabloid mainstay was Doherty, whose near-daily arrests for narcotics possession, out-of-it appearance and railing of Kate Moss made him a legend.

It is more than a touch troublesome, then, that even the Babyshambles lead singer (who is supposedly clean and therefore far less interesting nowadays than in his 2006-2007 heyday) thinks Amy has taken it a bit far with the drugs.

These two really should date at some point.

Pete, who was possibly an even worse influence on Wino during their friendship than was her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, says she's out of even his league.

Talking to the Observer magazine about a possible duet between the two drug loving maniacs that shockingly never ended up happening, Pete Doherty says, “I think we’re very different. Really, really different. She’s hardcore.”

Sherene Flash would attest to that. Click to enlarge more photos of Wino at last week's court appearance, where she pleaded not guilty to assaulting the dancer:

In beautiful Wiltshire, England, sits a pleasant country estate for rent.

It's worth approximately $1.5 million and offers potential residents peace, tranquility, nine bedrooms, five baths and a $h!tload of filth to navigate through.

Lots of blood stains, too. For good measure.

Welcome to the home of Pete Doherty, a.k.a. the male Amy Winehouse.

It's good to see that despite falling off the celebrity gossip radar in the last year, Pete is still a total lunatic, as new photographs of his house show...

If these walls could talk ... they would probably say some pretty disturbing things about Pete Doherty playing bad music, ODing on crack and mutilating himself.

Filmed as part of an MTV documentary on the singer (they've got their work cut out to top their Britney Spears puff piece), Pete shows he can take train wreck to a new level.

It's hard to believe this is the man who used to ransack Kate Moss nude all the time ... or maybe it isn't. Click to enlarge more photos of Pete at home, and elsewhere:

We wonder which has less of a chance: Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas in marriage? Or Pete Doherty's son in life?

Here's a shot of the drugged out rocker with his child, Astile. The toddler's mom is some woman named Lisa Moorish. We can't think of anything else to say about this nonsense.

Good luck, Astile.

Pete Doherty, the chronic alcohol and drug user and part-time lead singer of British band Babyshambles, has been sent to jail for 14 weeks.

The reason? For violating probation and ... using drugs. There are only so many times you can get arrested and stay out of jail, turns out.

A former boyfriend of Kate Moss, Pete Doherty has a history of being a jackass and was given a suspended sentence in October for drug possession and DUI.

Pete Doherty is behind bars. Unfortunately, he'll be out pretty soon.

He then missed an appointment with his probation team, which resulted in his new sentence. Somewhere, Mitch Winehouse is loving this.

Hopefully possible girlfriend Portia Freeman won't miss him too bad.

Same for recently de-virginized, possible baby-mama Laura McLaughlin.

Laura McLaughlin claims her unborn child belongs to Pete Doherty.

While the 20-year old goddaughter of Manchester United owner Alex Ferguson is steadfast in her claims, we have two reasons to doubt this story's validity:

1. It's reported in Great Britain's News of the World, a celebrity gossip rag that makes The National Enquirer seem reputable.
2. Haven't drugs rendered all of Pete Doherty's sperm as useless as Britney Spears' underwear drawer?

According to McLaughlin's account in the British tabloid, "the baby is Peter's. There is no doubt about that. I was a virgin when I met Peter and when we had sex. He knows about the baby. I told him I was pregnant the moment I found out."

Laura McLaughlin says she had sex with reputed singer Pete Doherty and he got her pregnant. Doherty's response: "ughndsfttilovecocaineacrniut."

The knocked up Brit went on to describe Kate Moss' ex as a "laid back lover," while also explaining how he allegedly left a bun in her oven:

"[After a condom broke], we continued to have sex regardless as it was the last condom we had," McLaughlin said, adding that the relationship was about more than mere intercourse. "But our weekend together wasn't just about sex. We cuddled up to watch the movie Dirty Dancing together and we had many deep and meaningful conversations. It felt like Peter was my boyfriend."

Vials of cocaine have felt the same way for years.

Portia Freeman has been described as the next Kate Moss.

And the 19-year old model is well on her way to confirming that status, as The Daily Mail reports that she's dating crazy drug user Pete Doherty, Moss' ex-boyfriend.

According to a source at the newspaper:

"Portia is probably the best thing to happen to Pete. She is a very clean-living girl and not at all into drugs. He really enjoys spending time with Portia. They love walking across the fields of the country estate where Pete rents a house."

Are Peter Doherty and Portia Freeman a new couple? We'd ask Pete ourselves, but he's probably too high to know the answer.

Guess junkies birds of a strung-out feather really do OD flock together.

Now that her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, is in jail, Amy Winehouse seems to be spending more time with Pete Doherty - and her father is not happy.

In fact, seeing the often-arrested Babyshambles singer out with his daughter made dad Mitch Winehouse go berzerk, he admitted to Grazia magazine.

"I do worry about people like Pete Doherty. He's a scumbag," a distraught Mitch Winehouse said. "I flipped when I saw him sitting with Amy backstage at her Brixton gig. I went crazy. My wife thought I was going to have a heart attack."

Some sources reported that Pete Doherty was present when Amy Winehouse overdosed on drugs in August. Regardless, they are hanging out a lot nowadays.

The diminutive jazz-pop diva, 24, has struggled mightily since her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was arrested for alleged witness tampering in November.

She also canceled all 2007 shows, and mother Janis Winehouse wrote an open letter published by the media, begging Amy to come home and get clean.

"I know the real problem here is that she's depressed about [Blake Fielder-Civil] being in prison," Mitch Winehouse said. "I wasn't in favor of the marriage, but they are married and I will support them. And he's shown while he's been in prison a level of maturity that he didn't have before."

While admitting to the magazine that Amy is "not very well," Mitch Winehouse said he can't force his daughter - who was recently nominated for six Grammy Awards for her smash hit album, Back to Black - into rehab.

"Believe me, my first instinct is to get hold of her, pick her up and take her back to my house and lock her away," he said. "But I've spoken to the finest drug counselors in the world, and they've said that is exactly the wrong thing to do."

One day.

That's how long since The Hollywood Gossip published a story about "rocker" Pete Doherty staying clean and turning over a new leaf with Irina Lazareanu - today, we learn that new photos of Doherty using heroin have surfaced.

Record company reps for Pete Doherty apologized and issued a statement in an attempt to shame the Babyshambles singer into sobriety. It was just Tuesday that the troubled star spoke out about missing drugs, but said he was clean.

The letter reads:

"Pete Doherty would like to apologize to the medical staff, fans and well-wishers who have helped and encouraged him in fighting his addiction to heroin. His ongoing rehabilitation was a source of such pride to him that Peter and those closest to him thought that he was close to winning his personal battle with drugs. However, Peter sadly relapsed last week and is now looking to check himself back into a rehab clinic so that he can try to continue the hitherto excellent attempts he had made to break free of heroin. He realizes that he has not only let himself down but has let down those who trusted and encouraged his efforts and he is filled with remorse for what he describes today as, 'a stupid, stupid action for which I feel only shame.'"

It is indeed sad. Here's hoping that those close to Pete - including ex Kate Moss and her new boyfriend Jamie Hince - stick by him in this time of need.

After an arduous period of on-and-off-again romance and hard-ass drug use, the British "rocker" Pete Doherty says he is now clean, he and Irina Lazareanu are in love, and he and ex Kate Moss are becoming friends again.

"She's a friend, but people are going to say what they want about it," the frontman of Babyshambles, 28, told Us Weekly regarding Moss at the MTV European Music Awards in Munich November 1. "She's really happy now, and so am I."

Pete Doherty â€" who has been in and out of rehab centers and courts countless times in the past few years â€" said he is now off the drugs. We'll believe that around the time Britney Spears starts caring about her kids. 

Pete Doherty: Smiling, supposedly sober. 

"It's nice to be able to remember a gig," he said. "I'm feeling fantastic! Everything's really cool right now," he added. "I'm enjoying life. People are gonna try and bring you back down, but I'm strong now."

Helping him along the way? Girlfriend Irina Lazareanu, a Canadian model.

"I'm just really f---in' happy," Doherty said. "I've had many chances. Life's good."

He is also finding support through a new unlikely pal: Snoop Dogg. The pair  was supposedly seen chatting during the MTV awards weekend.

"They were talking about music, and Snoop was saying how he wanted to add an indie feel to a few of his tracks," an onlooker said. "Pete was saying he should get in touch with his manager to see if they can work something out."
