Pete Doherty to publish his diaries; Kate Moss scraps her book plans

Pete Doherty got up to all sorts of his usual trouble this week. When he flew into Sweden last weekend for some scheduled performances with his band, Babyshambles, he was so out of it he had to use a wheelchair to reach customs. The Swedish authorities were reluctant to retain him, but after he got out of the wheelchair and rolled around on the floor they were forced to do something and decided to search his luggage.

Due to Pete’s delay at the border, his band Babyshambles went on an hour late for their performance at the Hultsfred Festival in southern Sweden. The police there were suspicious of Pete’s drunken behavior and decided to test his blood for drugs. They found traces of cocaine and a mild tranquilizer, benzodiazepine, which Doherty says he has a prescription for. He was fined $1,900 and released.

At least he seems to be off heroin for a few hours. He was in a rehab clinic in Portugal at the beginning of the month, and his lawyer said treatment was “going well.” In Pete’s case that means he didn’t bust up the place yet.

Doherty later got kicked out of the Debaser club in Stokholm in the middle of a “messy” and drunken performance. A girl was said to be freaking out after she stepped on some broken glass. Doherty was trying to handle the situation by “lashing out at people” and got booted from the club.

Doherty also plans to record a solo album this summer. We bet it has more do with the fact that his bandmates are fed up with him than trying to establish himself as a solo artist.

Doherty’s frequent clashes with authorities may fuel his creative endeavors. He just announced that he’s publishing his diaires that span back years:

The book, including poems, drawings and lyrics, will cover the star’s time with The Libertines, his relationship with model Kate Moss and his drug addiction.

“Some of it is very funny, some of it is pretty dark. All of it is incredibly readable,” said Ian Preece, Orion Books commissioning editor.

Doherty was due to give a poetry reading at a publishing launch in a London pub, but failed to turn up.

“The diaries stretch right back to Pete’s early years,” said Mr Preece.

“It is intimate and honest stuff and a complete antidote to a lot of what you might have read about him.”

In a statement, Doherty said: “I’ve always wanted to have a book published and it’s all very exciting for me personally.”

Even if it’s total crap and as random and unreadable as Macaulay Culkin’s “book,” you know people will buy it.

Meanwhile Doherty’s ex, Kate Moss, has wisely decided not to publish her memoirs. She was paid a £1million advance by Virgin books to write an autobiography about her cocaine abuse. She decided against it, and is wisely keeping that part of her past private. Moss was embroiled in a scandal in September of last year after a videotape was released of her snorting lines backstage at a Babyshambles concert. She was dropped from modeling campaigns with Chanel and Burberry at the time, but has since landed new lucrative contracts as the face of Nikon and Calvin Klein.

Kate Moss gets off scot free for cocaine video


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:

These drugs are in different categories — Classes A and B — and therefore the prosecution could not proceed because it was impossible to verify which category of substance was being abused.

“The film footage provides an absolutely clear indication that Ms. Moss was using controlled drugs and providing them to others,” he said.

“However, in the absence of any forensic evidence, or direct eye witness evidence about the substance in question, its precise nature could not be established.”

“Ms. Moss declined to provide any explanation when interviewed, and the direct eye witnesses also declined to provide evidence.

“Expert analysis of the footage, however, narrowed the possibilities down to three particular drugs: Cocaine, ecstasy or amphetamine.

“But these three substances fall into two different legal categories of controlled drugs.

“To obtain a conviction, case law establishes that the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt the legal category to which the substance being used belonged.

“Proving that it was a substance belonging either to one or other of two different legal categories is not sufficient.

“Accordingly, as the available evidence fell short of establishing the necessary crucial facts, we decided that there was no realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution could not therefore be started.”

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)

And here is Moss at the Isle of Wight music festival recently. It looks like Courtney Love is behind her in one of the shots. [via]

Exes Johnny Depp and Kate Moss to star on screen together


Johnny Depp and Kate Moss, who split up in 1997 after dating on and off for three years, may play ill-fated lovers Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates in a film about the INXS frontman’s life.

Depp, who will play the late INXS frontman, split up with the supermodel in 1997 after a stormy three-year romance.

But he is happy for Moss to get close again, and play Hutchence’s girlfriend Paula Yates in the rock movie.

An insider said: “Johnny was asked if it would be a deal breaker for him if Kate was cast.”

“He said ‘Not as far as I’m concerned.’ He figures there’s been enough water under that bridge.

“Obviously director Nick Egan hoping there’s still enough chemistry between them that will translate to the screen.

“It has been claimed she never got over him and in the film they’ll have to appear deeply in love.”

Both Yates and Hutchence are now dead. Hutchence was found dead in November, 1997, in a hotel room in Sydney. He was naked and died of self-suffucation from a leather belt. Yates insisted that Hutchence’s death was an accident, and that he was practicing dangerous auto-erotic asphyxiation, or trying to increase sexual pleasure through lack of oxygen. Yates died in 2000 from a heroin overdose. She was said to be distraught over losing custody of her three ridiculously-named daughters to her ex husband, Bob Geldolf. Yates and Hutchence are survived by a ten year-old daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. (Yes, that is her name.)

While Moss has her share of drug abuse and tragedy, which may help her relate to her character, it is unclear whether she can act. She has only bit parts to her credit. If she can act it will be an impressive role to add to her resume.

With Johnny Depp in the lead, people are sure to be interested in the film, and it could be an incredible story of the late Hutchence.

Kate Moss kicks Pete Doherty’s ass!


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!

KATE MOSS beat up on-off boyfriend PETE DOHERTY in a mad frenzy after reading how he sprayed his blood at two MTV cameramen. The supermodel summoned the BABYSHAMBLES frontman to her north London home and set on him after reading about his antics after a gig in Berlin, Germany last week (ends12MAY06). After arriving at her St John’s Wood pad at 5 am Moss began kicking and punching him in the street. Doherty says, “She was angry about the blood spraying thing. She beat the crap out of me. She layed into me punching and kicking. “I’m alright, but she hurt my finger. I couldn’t do anything back, because she’s a girl.”

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:

News of Kate Moss’ new boyfriend leads Pete Doherty to get help


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:

Who is the mystery man Miss Moss has been spied out with now?

It’s MTV/ Big Brother’s Big Mouth presenter Russell Brand.

The pair were spotted out in a North London pub before moving onto a nightclub. And thus a rumour was born…

“Kate finds Russell hilarious and he has the sort of rock star looks she’s attracted to.”

That’s not the only thing the pair have in common, however.

Both Kate and Russell have had publicised troubles with drugs - Kate with cocaine and Russell with heroin.

Perhaps they can help keep each other sober?

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:

[Pete Doherty] is desperate to prove to his model ex that he can give up the class As.

Pete is heading to a clinic in Burford, Oxfordshire, next week to have a drug — which stops heroin having an effect on him — inserted into his stomach.

The star was devastated to learn yesterday that Kate has found a new man in comic Brand — who is fronting Big Brother’s Big Mouth for channel E4.

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.

Here is Kate shopping for lingerie. [via]

Kate Moss makes out with Jemima Kahn for a full minute (for charity)


A rich British businessman put in an over six figure bid to win a one-minute kiss with supermodel Kate Moss in a charity auction. Instead of taking the kiss for himself, he gave it Hugh Grant’s girlfriend to the delight of men everywhere:

KATE MOSS happily engaged in a lesbian kiss with British socialite JEMIMA KHAN for a charity donation of GBP60,000 ($108,000). The supermodel, who was dogged by controversy after she was photographed snorting cocaine last year (05), was due to kiss business tycoon PHILIP GREEN after he paid for the pleasure at a recent charity auction for the Hoping Foundation For Palestinian Refugee Children. But Green declined to accept a passionate one-minute kiss from Moss in the presence of his wife TINA, so he handed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to the person he outbid - HUGH GRANT’s girlfriend Khan.

That’s hot and we hope the video comes out! It would be a lot more interesting than Kate snorting coke.

Kate Moss dates Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightly’s ex; Lindsay dates Kate’s Ex


Kate Moss is now dating Jamie Dornan, the British Wilmer Valderrama. His acting career hasn’t taken off yet, but somehow he’s managed to hook up with plenty of starlets. In case you’re not familiar with Jamie Dornan, he dated Knightly Knightly on and off for about two years. The two split up in August of 2005 amid allegations that Dornan was jealous of Knightly’s career. Dornan’s only credited film on IMDB is the upcoming “Marie Antoinette.”

Dornan has been keeping busy off screen:

  • In the beginning of April, Dornan was dating Sienna Miller, prompting Kiera Knightly to “warn” Miller to be careful with her ex. (Miller must have scared him off, or maybe she dumped him to get back with Jude Law or that model she went on vacation with.)
  • In mid-April, Dornan was dating Lindsay Lohan. (Lohan then hooked up with Stavros Niarchos briefly, and quickly moved on to Kate Moss’ ex, James Burke.)

    Dornan didn’t waste any time, because he’s now with Kate Moss.

    British supermodel KATE MOSS is reportedly dating KEIRA KNIGHTLEY’s ex-boyfriend JAMIE DORNAN. Moss and Dornan met on the set of a CALVIN KLEIN photoshoot in New York six weeks ago (APR06). And they have spent time together at Moss’s London home, as well as enjoying dates at London’s Dorchester hotel. A source close to Moss tells British paper The Mail On Sunday, “She likes seeing younger men - they make her feel sexy and desirable. “Jamie ticks all the right boxes for Kate. He’s incredibly handsome, a bit of a scruff, and a musician to boot.”

    At least Moss isn’t planning on marrying drug-addict Pete Doherty, but it’s ridiculous how much these few women swap men. Maybe Lindsay and Kate made a deal that they would trade for the summer.

    Here is Kate Moss outside of her car in London [via] and Lindsay Lohan shopping in Hollywood on May 12th. [via] If that’s the actual date of these pictures, Lohan is having a lot of trouble changing her clothes lately. She was spotted out on the day before in the same outfit. .

    These pictures are low-res. Sorry about that.

    Pete Doherty shoots heroin into an unconscious woman! (now with photos)


    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”:

    The junkie Babyshambles singer, who has won the heart of supermodel Kate Moss, was snapped jabbing the pretty youngster as she lay in his squalid kitchen.

    Other pictures seen by The Sun show the rocker — who faces drugs charges — injecting himself and being helped to take drugs by a girl using her hands to form a makeshift tourniquet.

    Yet another sees Doherty, 27, smoke a “crack bowl”, his tattooed and blood-stained arms betraying his addiction.

    The disturbing scenes were captured by a pal at Doherty’s pad in Hackney, East London, within the last five weeks.

    Kate, 32 — who has been secretly seeing the singer despite claims they had split — was NOT present when the drug photographs were taken.

    The comatose girl is from a middle-class background and idolises Doherty, often visiting him at his flat. She was left on the floor while he and his pals prepared more class A drugs for themselves.

    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.

    Kate Moss is the new face of Nikon


    So Kate Moss doesn’t really care about much since her comeback is in full force. She got an over quarter-million dollar contract with Calvin Klein a couple weeks ago, and now she’s going to represent Nikon cameras:

    Nikon said that it will begin a major ad campaign for its new Coolpix S6 digital camera using supermodel Kate Moss.

    Moss will appear in print, TV and cinema ads and on the web at stunningnikon.com to promote the point-and-shoot camera.

    She’s also rumored to be returning to Burberry after they dropped her during her cocaine scandal last year. Oh and there’s a ridiculous new statue of her.

    Everything is not roses with Kate. She was overheard complaining about her lack of a sex life. Her ex, Pete Doherty, with whom she is supposedly back together, bragged that he was sober while at a performance in Ireland this weekend, so that could explain it.

    Update: Kate was spotted holding hands with Israeli financier Vivi Nevo at a party for model Jeisa Chiminazzo in NY recently.

    Here is Kate getting reading for Easter weekend with her daughter, Lila Grace, and her ex, Lila’s father Jefferson Hack. There are also two pictures of Kate for Nikon courtesy of yeeeah.

    Kate Moss doesn’t care


    Kate Moss does drugs and gets caught on tape, but gets off scott free. She dates a notorious addict and miscreant, and still gets high profile modeling contracts. Her latest deal is with Calvin Klein for $875,000. She’s 32 years old now so she doesn’t have many modeling years left in her, but given her luck she’ll get endorsement deals into her late 30s and early 40s.

    Despite the fact that her looks are the only commodity she has, she smokes. She just doesn’t give a shit, and she may even marry Pete Doherty.

    Here’s Moss in NY yesterday outside a restaurant in the West Village. She has a younger brother, Nick, who is also a model, but it was difficult to find information on him and we’re not sure if he’s the young guy in the pictures with her. (There’s a picture of Moss and Nick on the cover of W Magazine, but the guy on the magazine looks older than the one in these pictures. Still, they look similar and it’s hard to tell.)
