Pete Doherty Will Shed Blood For His Art

Like Koko the gorilla before him, musician and voodoo zombie Pete Doherty has manipulated his hands in such a way, across a piece of canvas or paper, that something resembling "art" has been created. An exhibit of his work launched in Montmartre yesterday, though sadly he missed his debut because he's, well, in jail for drugs. The work, though, really speaks for itself. Unlike Koko's seminal masterpiece "Pink Pink Stink Nice Drink," in which abstract paint smears represented deep and mysterious gorilla emotions, Mr. Doherty's work consists of clear and distinctive symbology and motifs. Notably, the use of his own image and his own blood. My favorite piece is the one in which he signed his name with blood (his own) found inside an old needle. Just lovely. Some images after the jump.

Poor Little Heroin Addict Sent To Bad Place

Pete Doherty, an entertainer of children who just may have some blood in his heroin system, has been thrown in the clink. The Babyshambles frontman and former paramour of hollow-boned Kate Moss ("Ow, my bones...") has been sent to English prison (a land without tea) for 14 weeks. On what charges, my good man? Well, for "breach of time keeping, non-compliance of his order and using different drugs." Ah. Different drugs. Had he stayed with the old ones... well, none of this would have happened. He'll miss two scheduled performances and untold instances of pants-wetting and sadness-inducing, and is thusly looking into filing an appeal. Perhaps the outcome of the appeal will finally determine once and for all if Pete is in fact famous enough to never really get in trouble, or if he's just a miserable shit like the rest of us.

Scientology's Glamorous New Friends

  • Game over, Scientology wins, they have Pete Doherty and Sumner Redstone. Viacom chairman Redstone hasn't actually converted but did have lunch with Scientology bigshot Tom Cruise, probably canceling in his area a personal and business rift with the actor and paving the way for more sweet Mission Impossible money. Doherty has been reading up on the religion and shacking up with a Scientologist DJ who probably hasn't yet mentioned the religion's stance on psychoactive drugs.
  • Accidental gay porno fan (and singer) John Mayer posted a long rambly blog "about a young guy who maintains a celebrity blog... who has wrestled with a lifelong battle for acceptance as a gay man." Then, mercifully, "I'm going quiet now." [JohnMayer.com]
  • Star overlord Bonnie Fuller said singer Britney Spears' parents are "pimps" who treat their daughters like "cash registers" and "bank machines." To back this up, the American Media editorial director has both an anonymous quote and a book-plugging psychiatrist. Air. Tight. [HuffPo]
  • There's talk of a Hills movie. Well, of course there is. The question is, have they stockpiled enough stares. [MTV]
  • Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt "work on their relationship" by going to Vegas and staying in different rooms, in different hotels and barely talking. Actually, that is seriously a dream vacation for some couples. [People]
  • Atress Lindsay Lohan will play a member of the Manson family. [E! Online]
  • She's supposedly jetting off to rehab soon, but singer Amy Winehouse still can't manage to get to the jail on time to visit her husband. [Sun]

Perez Hilton Discovers Celebrity Maybe Doing Something We Already Know He's Doing

Perez HIlton seems to think that he's discovered a magical portal into pile o' drugs rockabilly rascal Pete Doherty's soul. Well, at least into his crack smoking. The famous blogger, known for his professionalism, has found Mr. Doherty's YouTube account. The videos that the supposed "Doherty" has uploaded are mostly in keeping with a crazed drug addict's tastes: silent footage of a fire burning, wee Englishmen walking about a darkened house with nothing more than a candle, etc. Oh, and a glass chicken full of smoke. Yep. That's all it is, but Perez decides that it's abject proof of drug use (he's "taking a hit" from the glass chicken, to use the lingo). It's even less conclusive than the video of now dead actor Heath Ledger sniff snorting on some cocaine. Even though, erm, Doherty has a long history of drug use and would probably take a hit out of his mother if she were full of sweet, sweet crack smoke. But still, it could be anything! Tobacco! Or, marijuana! Or... Oh for fuck's sake it's crack, isn't it? Just roll the damn tape. (After the jump.) [Perez] More »

Pete Doherty Is Beautiful and Should Be Compensated Thusly

Pete Doherty, rock musician and skinny little skeleton full of drugs, has been asked to model for a line of cheap clothing, and he wants proper payment. The company reportedly offered him $10,000 but, Doherty, who is a pretty pretty flower and not horrifying looking at all, demanded more more more. Six times more, to be exact. "When they said 30,000 [$60K] I nearly had a heart attack. Who does he think he is, Claudia Schiffer?" remarked a spokesman for the company. No, he's not Claudia Schiffer. He's better and important and used to date a famous lady. Babyshambles wants money. Give him more money for precious druggy wuggies. [Showbiz Spy] After the jump, more evidence of Doherty's stunning good looks (maybe NSFW. He says FUCK.) More »

Britney Spears Has Your Conservatorship Right Here

  • Britney Spears' stupid dad took away her stupid booze and set her bedtime at stupid 11 o'clock, but he can't make her keep on her underwear, ha ha! Despite having a Vagina Of Freedom, Spears doesn't get to see her sons, even though K-Fed thinks the toddlers would be a more mature influence on the troubled singer than alleged grown men Sam Lufti and Adnan Ghalib.
  • Amy Winehouse had no idea her husband might have been trading her autographed pictures for heroin, even though he had just been treated in jail for an overdose. She thought it was for cigarettes and so forth! [Showbiz Spy]
  • U2 threatened a new double album based on their experiences in countries that hate precious American freedoms. [Reuters]
  • Kirstie Alley will personally teach you to lose weight, probably the insane Scientology way, after she was booted by Jenny Craig. [People]

  • Actor Orlando Bloom just slept over at Miranda Kerr's house. Don't deny it, there's video. There, there. Go ahead, let it out. [TMZ]
  • Here's the new guy who decides if you will get into the Waverly Inn and, wow, he's getting a friendly notice in Page Six! Well played, Posties. Well played.

    Serene Britney Spears Doesn't Know Why You Keep Offering Advice

  • Britney Spears is finally on the right path. Model Heidi Klum made her look a bit more sane by offering to fix all of Spears' problems for her, an offer that of course succeeded only in making Klum look as crazy as Dr. Phil and Courtney Love. Then Spears took another step down the path toward appropriateness and normalcy by going clubbing with her father. Everything was going so well that Spears decided the time was perfect to try on wedding dresses and steal a blouse. She ended up very glad about not wearing a bra.
  • Amy Winehouse is so sweet. She's brought autographed pictures to the jail where her husband is being held so he can trade them for very cheap heroin. A lot of wives wouldn't go to such lengths right after their husbands had just overdosed in the very same jail.
  • If you give Pete Doherty $30,000 to perform for you, your wife and your three children, and he of course shows up too drunk or high to stand, just give him seven hours to sober up, you're as good as gold. Then his handlers can talk about how you "certainly got value for money.... not many fans get to spend such quality time with their hero." Also, you can go down in history as "the guy who hired Pete Fucking Doherty to perform for his kids." [Showbiz Spy]
  • Rudy Huxtable alive, hot, sweet. She's even sweet to the filthy paparazzi. [TMZ]
  • If you touch J. Lo's private vaginal birth room, ever, she will cut you. [P6]
  • Dear Jennifer, I sold you out because I want grandchildren, and I got tired of waiting for that bitch Angelina to fly the coop. I'll take pictures for you at the wedding. Love, Brad's Mom. [Showbiz Spy]
  • Flavor Flav is promiscuous, broke and has a crazy and inappropriate hustle on to make money. This is not gossip so much as the immutable state of his existence, right? [P6]

    Horrible Drug Addict, Entertainer of Children

    Pete Doherty, rock musician and skinny little skeleton full of drugs, recently played a child's birthday party. He is apparently so hard up for cash since his split from model and smack mama Kate Moss, that he accepted a mere £100 for the gig, the equivalent of $4 million US. I mean $200. He was such a hit that now other parents are asking if he'll do the same for their lil' lasses! Never mind that his band is called Badboy Babyshambles or that one of his super smash hit number one jams is called "Fuck Forever." British people are so weird! [Showbiz Spy]

  • Billy Joel's trophy wife, failed Top Chef host Katie Lee Joel, denies that she was turned away from P. Diddy's white party for wearing cream. "I was only dropping off house guests before I went out to dinner! They denied me from a party I wasn't even going to," she "explained." [R&M, 2nd item]

    Pete Doherty And Kate Moss Are Over Again

    "You have touched my heart and soul you little fucker... You make me high my sweet. My skin shivers and longs to be held by you," Kate Moss once wrote in a love note to her junkie boyfriend Pete Doherty. But now! "Movers were spotted at Moss's London home Wednesday removing furniture and guitars, a piano, paintings and suitcases." Apparently Pete slipped up and did it with a South African model last week, although how that guy even manages to get it up we have no idea. Anyway, guess the wedding's off!

    Pete Doherty Faux-Marries Kate Moss

    Groom at right, not-bride at left. Both the Sun and Daily Mirror have eerily identical "exclusives" claiming that rocker, clothing designer, and invincible narcotics machine Pete Doherty wed his coke-friendly impregnated fianc Kate Moss on a beach in Phuket, Thailand. Supposedly this is just another playtime nonbinding "'bizarre' Buddhist" symbolic marriage thing, a la Anna Nicole Smith and her lawyer. Won't get fooled again, eh tabloids?

    In Wake of Blanco Death, Pete Doherty Fends Off a Dire Accusation

    The police investigation into the suspicious death of actor Matt Blanco, who fell to his death outside a London apartment building after an altercation with world's crackiest crackhead Pete Doherty, is ongoing. Blanco's sister, who has publicly wondered why Doherty fled the crime scene, told the Independent: "We're finding it very difficult to do any grieving as we're so busy trying to find out the truth. We want to know what happened that night. This is not about us assigning blame on a pseudo-celebrity. We just want the truth." More »

    Crack Now Basically Legal in UK for Pete Doherty

    Britrocker and Kate Moss manbutter supplier Pete Doherty may have been caught with heroin and crack in his car while ostensibly in drug rehab, but that's nothing a few hundred pounds and a break from driving can't fix. Making his weekly court appearance, Doherty didn't pretend to wince at this slap on the wrist, even enjoying a compliment from the judge for one of his songs. He now has a few days to try and figure out just what, exactly, one has to do in London in order to actually go to jail these days. We look forward to more progress from what must surely be the most tolerant (if not successful) rehab program in the world. More »

    If It's Sunday, Pete Doherty Must Be on Crack

    After managing to stay away from the authorities for over a week, Pete Doherty, Babyshamblet and Kate Mossifier, was arrested yesterday on suspicion of driving on crack. Apparently, Doherty and a couple pals were busted near his London home, meaning he was either on his way out or on his way home. Buzzkill. But at least this is a comfortingly familiar territory for Doherty and the rest of the world. You just know that baby can't wait to meet daddy! More »
