There are bad ideas and then there are terrible ideas. A bad idea is something along the lines of “Hey, let’s pack this bathtub with hot dogs and then fill it up with really hot water and see if we can cook them.” A really bad idea (though equally stupid) is something along the lines of “Let’s get the two most drugged up and unreliable musicians on the scene today, and put them on a stage together.” After sitting around asking themselves, “What’s the stupidest thing we could do?” MTV execs have decided to go with the later, and have decided to have not just Pete Doherty but also Amy Winehouse perform at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Though to be fair, it’s likely that Pete Doherty has filled his bathtub to the brim with hot dogs at least once.

Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty are being lined up to duet at the MTV Europe Music Awards tonight. The pair are already booked to perform solo performances at the bash in Munich, but Pete, 28, wants to share the stage with his North London neighbour. First Babyshambles are expected to sing single Delivery, while Amy - who is nominated for 3 gongs - is keeping her choice of solo number under wraps. Can’t wait to see what they choose to belt out together

‘It’s been a closely-guarded secret and may still fall apart at the last minute,’ a source tells the Daily Mirror. ‘This duet could be a blinding success or an unmitigated disaster if they’ve been on the booze or any dodgy substances.’

Pete, who says he’s been clean since leaving rehab, is now dating a blonde stylist called Becky, 28, after splitting with fiancée Irina Lazareanu. Amy, 24, of course, is still loved up with husband Blake Fielder-Civil. At a gig in Amersterdam last week, she kept leaving the stage to snog her spouse.

I’m guessing the stage will somehow end up on fire – and not in the cool, planned pyrotechnics kind of way. Somehow, Amy will end up running around in bloody ballet shoes while Pete feeds crack to a kitten. That’d be funny if those weren’t both things the two have actually done lately. Though if nothing else, I’m sure they can trade recipes. You know, how to make the best pot brownies, where’s the best place to inject a needle that even a doctor won’t suspect. That sort of thing. I’m sure we’ll have a wonderful story to report tomorrow… hopefully with video.
