Kate Moss was videotaped doing lines backstage at a Babyshambles concert last September. She was promptly dumped from her modeling contracts with Chanel and Burberry and went to rehab. She got new modeling contracts with Nikon, Calvin Klein, and came back with a vengeance.

She fled England after the scandal broke and was said to be wanted for police questioning, which she avoided for a while. In January she finally spoke to the police, but took the good advice of her lawyers and did not admit to any wrongdoing.

She was expected to be cleared on all charges, and an official announcement was made today. Cops said they couldn’t tell whether Moss was doing amphetamines, cocaine, or ecstasy in the video and since those substances fall under different drug severity classes they can’t charge her with anything and she gets off on a technicality:

It’s not like Kate would be in too much trouble if she actually was prosecuted for using a controlled substance. It seems like Pete Doherty is in court every other week on drugs charges and he hasn’t faced great consequences other than being ordered to rehab.

Here’s the shaky video of Kate doing cocaine in case you missed it: (Commentary is in Italian)

Lindsay Lohan says that she can’t settle down with one guy, and tries to explain away her sluttiness by claiming she’s like a guy:

Lohan says she’s not with McFly’s drummer Harry Judd, and that they’re “just friends,” but Judd’s bandmates wrote a song teasing him about hooking up with Lindsay, called “Please Please Lindsay Please.”

Here’s a story about the song on E! Daily. The lyrics: “You love yourself more than you love me.”

Judd must be one of the “several men who live overseas” Lindsay’s publicist says she dating. We suspect one of the other guys is Londoner Jamie Burke, Kate Moss’ ex.

Lindsay may have a good excuse for not being able to stick with one guy - she’s jacked up on so much cocaine that she needs constant excitement.

Lindsay is a busy girl, all right.

Here she is getting a less harmful stimulant and getting out of her car. [via]

Last weekend I took a cheap ass EasyJet flight with my family to Berlin. In case you’re not familiar with EasyJet, it’s the Southwest Airlines of Europe. You can sit wherever you want, but drinks and snacks are expensive and there are no TVs. The flight over was decent, but on the way back a British stewardess with an attitude named something like Jenine was wearing perfume so heavy it permeated the entire plane and gave my husband and me a headache. (I’m writing this on the off chance that my bitching will get back to the management at EasyJet without me going through the trouble of writing a complaint letter.)

Anyway Pete Doherty, the lead singer of BabyShambles and Kate Moss’ on and off boyfriend, was on an EasyJet flight and took an extra long time in the bathroom. EasyJet staff found a bloody syringe hidden in the trashcan afterwards, so of course they had to blame poor Pete.

Pete likes to create art while he’s taking a dump and it’s ridiculous that EasyJet staff would deny him the pleasure. It’s already hard enough for the guy to catch a break without getting questioned over every little bloody syringe! Those EasyJet flights are so uncomfortable and the staff is paranoid and unaccommodating.

Pete and his Babyshambles bandmembers are permanently banned from all EasyJet filghts now, and they should be grateful not to have to go through that again.

Here are some Pete Doherty fans outside of his case review hearing at Thames Magistrate Court on 5/12. Love the devil guy.

Kate Moss was so pissed off about Pete Doherty’s blood squirting stunt that she asked him to come over to her place. When he arrived she promptly kicked his ass!

At least Doherty didn’t fight back, but we doubt the junkie would have had the strength even if he wanted to. Moss shouldn’t have even bothered with Doherty, though. Why doesn’t she just ignore him? She’s supposed to be dating comic Russell Brand now anyway.

Meanwhile Doherty’s antics have lead his record label, Rough Trade, to drop his group Babyshambles. An source is quoted as saying: “Rough Trade were in the process of renegotiating a deal, but the talks broke down because it just proved to be so difficult to deal with Pete and the people he surrounds himself with.”

Maybe losing his record label will help Pete follow-through on kicking heroin as he’s been planning. It won’t be easy, but he needs it desperately.

Here’s Kate in a Primal Scream video:

Kate Moss has been spotted out with Russell Brand, a British comic and Big Brother presenter who is also a former drug addict. At least he’s sober now:

The rumors about Kate’s involvement with Brand are probably true, because she was spotted buying high-end lingerie at Agent Provacateur recently. She’s got someone in mind to see her new knickers and it’s probably not her on-again off-again boyfriend, Pete Doherty.

Everyone is making fun of Brand for these pictures of him mooning the camera, but that’s nothing compared to the stunts Pete Doherty pulls.

Doherty has vowed to get sober to keep her affections, and is headed to a clinic to take drastic measures:

Doherty most recently squirted a syringe full of blood at an MTV camera and is way overdue for an intervention. Hopefully Kate will stay away, and Pete will realize that he needs sobriety more than any woman.

The video of Pete Doherty squirting a blood-filled syringe has come out. You can view it below with a watermark on the screen:

Or go to an article about the incident on MTV and launch the video from the bottom right. It’s now available to viewers outside the UK. There’s a commercial before it, though.

Somehow we were expecting it to be more dramatic.

Pete Doherty squirted a syringe full of blood onto a camera during an MTV News UK interview, causing one of his band members to apologize and declare how f**ked up it was:

That wasn’t just anyone’s blood - it was heroin addict blood which is extra foul. The cameramen were said to fear for their health after coming in contact with the blood.

This comes right after news of Doherty smoking crack before he performed dressed in drag in Germany last weekend. He was wearing what looked like a wedding ring at the time, causing people to speculate that it was from his on-again off-again girlfriend, supermodel Kate Moss, whom he once bragged that he was going to marry.

There is a video of the blood-squirting incident, but MTV has ridiculously limited access to it to people who are in the UK or Ireland. I tried to use a UK proxy to view it, but it didn’t work.

Pete’s mom is writing a tell-all book about her son. There’s not much about Doherty that can shock people, but it is sure to be full of interesting tidbits.

Here is Doherty in a different Channel 4 interview.

In the interview above he talks about his brief imprisonment and drug use, but he mumbles a lot and is really messed up, so it’s hard to tell what he’s saying. He does say he’s going to “start a drug-free life.” Yeah, right. Towards the end of the interview he waves to the camera and mouths “Hello Kate” when asked about his relationship with Kate Moss, but he doesn’t admit much and calls the interviewer nosy.

British tabloid News of the World has pictures of a wasted George Michael at the wheel of his car. They were taken just after the troubled singer had to be woken up after blocking traffic for several minutes at a light. When he did get going again, he weaved all over the road and drove over the median:

This is the third time Michael has had car trouble. He was arrested at the end of February after being found passed out in his car. He was charged with posession of marjuana at the time and got off with a police caution. About a month ago, Michael was caught trying to leave the scene after hitting three parked cars.

It’s too bad he was let off with a caution for his February arrest, because he should have been sent to rehab. Maybe this latest incident will be a wakeup call for Michael.

Pete Doherty may have been right when he declared that he’s the new John Lennon. A little over a month ago he was quoted as saying:

The drug-addled Jaguar-loving Babyshambles lead singer was voted second in an NME poll of the greatest rock stars of all time. He was only bested by late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain:

Getting a lot of press, however exceptionally negative, seems to have worked in Doherty’s favor.

Pete’s not doing that well despite the high regard of the music-loving public. He recently sold his cell phone to a stranger for some quick cash, presumably for drugs. He neglected to clear the memory on the phone, and there were SMS messages from his on-again off-again girlfriend, Supermodel Kate Moss, on it. Moss reportedly urged him to give up heroin and join her for a summer vacation.

Here he is in concert in Amsterdam on May 2nd.

The Sun has pictures of Pete Doherty injecting heroin into a passed-out woman on his kitchen floor. Kate Moss is shown in another photo sleeping on a bed at Doherty’s house, but she wasn’t there when he drugged the unconscious fan. The pictures were said to be taken in the “past five weeks”:

Doherty was placed on 2 years probation and received orders to attend 18 months of outpatient rehab in drugs posession case last week. He was arrested again on drugs charges on the same day he was sentenced, and was let out on bail.

We thought Doherty might be cleaning up slightly, as he was praised for his efforts by the judge at his sentencing and he bragged of his sobriety at a recent concert. He might be trying, but he won’t escape his past without a great deal of effort.

The Sun website says that you have to buy the print version to get the pictures. Once they’re online, we’ll post them. In the meantime Here are pictures of Doherty at a Babyshambles gig on 4/26.
