Love conquers all: Pete and Kate back together again


I've come to the conclusion that British celebrities are dumber in love than their American counterparts. This is a gross overgeneralization based on Jude Law and Sienna Miller's foolish on-again off-again relationship, and Kate Moss' inexplicable draw to drug-addled Jaguar-wrecking Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty. Just last week Pete had to resort to getting an implant in his stomach to help him kick his love of most every type of drug, and that's good enough for lonely Kate, who was seen making out with him in public. Hopefully he took her money to get his nasty teeth fixed.

On Pete and Kate's big night out Pete was seen puking in a women's bathroom before wrecking the stage while performing with his band. Britian's Sunday Mirror says that taking drugs with a drug implant in your stomach will do that to 'ya:

I can reveal their evening started off well enough when the goo-goo-eyed couple turned up for Channel 4's new music show Transmission with T-Mobile at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith on Friday night.

The pair snogged in the corridor, with Kate, 32 acting more like a teenager... she couldn't keep her hands off his skinny butt.

It was definitely clear to all that love was in the air when a posse of young beauties walked past and shouted "Pete! We love you, Pete!"

In response, Mossy threw them a dirty look before sticking her tongue down his throat.

She hopes they'll live happily ever after now because pasty-faced Pete had a new anti-drug implant fitted last week and claims to be winning his fight to stay clean.

But fast-forward to two hours later. Pete, 27 - who was performing - showed little sign that he'd changed much when he barged into the women's toilets and, wait for it, puked his guts up.

I'm told all the ladies recoiled in horror and told potty Pete to get out but he kept shouting that he was in the men's loos.

Radar hopes the "reformed" druggie hasn't fallen back into his old ways - implants make you vomit violently if you take drugs. Things didn't get much better during the troubled rocker's performance with his band Babyshambles as he ended up wrecking the stage. He even managed to destroy the lighting rig.

It will take more than a little device or drug scandal to change Pete and Kate.

Pete Doherty and Kate Moss rekindle their dysfunctional relationship


Kate Moss and Pete Doherty are back together, at least for now. I haven't kept up with troubled Pete like I should, but he had a chemical implant put in his stomach to help him kick heroin and was said to have tried to go to rehab again for like the tenth time.

Whatever he's done, it worked well enough to help him get back together with the love of his life, waif supermodel Kate:

Kate and Pete arrived at the Rhythm Festival in Kate's chauffeur-driven Range Rover.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "They got out of the car and held hands as they walked to the VIP area - laughing and touching each other the whole time.

"They were acting like a couple of honeymooners.

"They were kissing passionately and didn't leave each other's side all night."

The pair apparently joined singer Jerry Lewis backstage afterwards.

Crack and heroin addict Pete has just come out of rehab and has had a new implant fitted.

He originally got together with Kate almost 18 months ago at her 31st birthday party but they split up late last year after Kate checked into rehab following cocaine allegations.

Kate has plenty of substance abuse problems on her own. While she may have kicked the hard stuff, she still knows how to drink like a fish. She royally pissed off her friend, Jade Jagger, by getting wasted and running up a nearly $10,000 hotel bill in Amsterdam. She stuck her surprised hosts, The Rolilng Stones, with the tab. She offered to pay after leaving the country, but the damage was already done.

"Kate is not the Stones' favourite person right now. She was invited as their guest and while they were expecting to pick up the cost of the room, they were not impressed at the amount she ran up on drinks and food. Her behaviour was also very strange. She was unsteady on her feet and was clearly drunk and had to be taken up to her room."
[Thanks to Random Human for the tip]

Guess Kate and Pete kind of deserve each other.

Kate wasn't with Pete in these pictures taken at the wedding of Primal Scream star Bobbie Gillespie on 7/29. She seems to have brought a long-haired bearded guy as her date, or that might just be someone she's hanging out with at the party.

Update I just have to mention that this is the fourth time I've been able to use that "reunited" header picture! lol

Lindsay Lohan says her boobs are real and she never tried cocaine


Lindsay's full of shit lately. Her boobs look like two basketballs stuffed under her skin, but she has attributed their strange shape and quick growth to natural causes. This latest quote is undoubtedly made up, because there's no source listed and it's worded like a typical Brit would phrase it, but it's not beneath us to repeat it or attribute it to her. She said something like this before, but it's impossible to google since all the keywords are kind of dirty:

Stunning Lindsay, who only turned 20 on Sunday, said: "Skinny's not attractive. I've learnt that."

Peering inside her vest she added: "I like having my breasts in there - naturally, I add! The papers said I had implants, then when I was really flat-chested they said I was anorexic and had had them taken out.


"Truth is I have got my boobs back because I've got healthier again and I'm so happy."

[via]

It's probably not true that she actually said that this time around unless someone changed the quote to sound British, but in an interview with The Mirror she did deny every trying cocaine, and credited her druggie dad for her abstinence:

"I've never tried cocaine," Lindsay says. "I've seen my father. I've seen how it messes with families and f***s your life up. If I hadn't witnessed that, I may have gone a different route. I don't know. But I've seen how it tore my parents apart."

Lohan also admits that she was too thin and wasn't eating right, and said she turned her health around by exercising. She says she parties a lot but that "it's nothing too decadent and probably not half as wild as what goes on at university fraternity parties." It's good that she's no longer in denial about her body at least.

Here she is in various beach shots this week.

Thanks to Hollywoods Best, Egotastic, and Mollygood for the photos. x17online also points out her freckled butt.

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]

Lindsay Lohan says the coke keeps her from settling down with one guy


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:

She tells style magazine Harper's Bazaar, "I've become like the guy in relationships. Lately I just cannot be in a monogamous relationship. But there are people I want to date."

Lohan's crush on McFLY star HARRY JUDD has prompted her to consider a move to London.

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.

Lohan annoyed Vogue editrix Anna Wintour Monday night as a guest at Wintour’s table at the CFDA awards because, she “got up to use the bathroom to powder her nose six times in two hours,” said our spy. During the last trip, Wintour leaned over and whispered to a Vogue staffer: “Tell her, if she gets up one more time, she will never be invited to one of my events again.” Lohan’s date, Karl Lagerfeld, was then told, “Karl, this is your guest, control her!” A rep for Wintour said, “Anna was definitely surprised at how busy Lindsay was, but she offered no threat.”

Lindsay is a busy girl, all right.

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

Pete Doherty copes with poor EasyJet service by making art in the bathroom


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.

An EasyJet spokeswoman said crew found "a syringe hidden in a bin, covered in blood" in the plane's toilet.

Spanish Guardia Civil met Doherty and four friends but found no suspicious substances in the lavatories.

They were not arrested. Doherty's band Babyshambles played at the Primavera Sound Festival in the city on Thursday.

The EasyJet spokeswoman said the crew became suspicious after Doherty spent "an unusual amount of time in the toilet".

After the discovery of the syringe, Doherty was questioned by crew and became "agitated and aggressive", the spokeswoman said.

The captain contacted Spanish police, who met the plane, which was held on the ground for about half an hour.

Officers only found a bottle of heroin substitute methadone, which Doherty is taking as part of a drug treatment programme.

Aviation regulations mean passengers must inform an airline in advance if they are carrying a syringe for medical reasons and Doherty failed to do so, EasyJet said.

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 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]

Video of Pete Doherty squirting blood on MTV camera

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's sick blood-squirting stunt


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:

Troubled rocker PETE DOHERTY disgusted his bandmates and an MTV News film crew when he fired a syringe seemingly full of his own blood at cameras during a TV interview. The unpredictable BABYSHAMBLES frontman initially refused to be questioned, but turned up halfway through the interview hiding a syringe in his hand under a towel. Smirking, the singer proceeded to squirt its red contents over thousands of dollars worth of filming equipment and the terrified crew. Doherty joked after, "That was a wicked shot. That's going to make a cracking link that is." His bandmate, bassist DREW MCCONNELL, was less impressed, storming out of the room after first apologising to the MTV group. He said, "I think the interview is over my friend. "I'm really sorry about that mate, that's f**ked up." Doherty performed a song after the camera lens had been cleaned.

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.

George Michael falls asleep at the wheel - again


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:

On Thursday night the gay star went cruising near his home and dozed off at traffic lights in Highgate, north London.

They changed FOUR TIMES before he was woken with a start by a driver tapping on the window.

"He was sweating heavily and had his iPod on," said the driver. "That's probably why he didn't hear all the angry tooting behind him. He got going again—but was weaving all over the place. Then he hit a bollard. I doubt he even noticed it. He looked wasted. He just drove on."

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 voted second greatest rock star of all time


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 new Lennon — I like that.

“Honestly, I am the most important rock star now.

“And you will hear lots of great songs from me in the near future.”

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:

The singer came second behind former Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain in the poll by NME.

Speaking about Doherty's place on the list a NME spokesman said: "Surely he's just a worn-out drug addict who needs help if he's ever going to make decent music again?"

"Yes, there was a time when Pete Doherty lived his life with an unrivalled romantic zest, when he represented a truly anti-establishment voice. But is he really still your hero? Now that his second home seems to be the courtroom?"

Morrissey came third in the poll and Liam Gallagher fourth.

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.

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.

Poor Pete Doherty arrested hours after his court appearance


Now we're starting to feel sorry for Pete Doherty since he seemed to be cleaning up slightly and was even praised for his efforts by the judge at his sentencing hearing yesterday. The guy can't catch a break, though, and was just arrested yesterday on suspicion of drugs possession for the umpteenth time:

LONDON - Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty was arrested Thursday, hours after a court appearance on drugs possession, according to media reports. ADVERTISEMENT

Police said a 27-year-old man was stopped in east London just after 2 p.m. by plainclothes officers and arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs with intent to supply. They did not name the man arrested, but the British Broadcasting Corp. reported it was Doherty.

The Metropolitan Police said the man and a 21-year-old companion were being questioned at an east London police station.

Hopefully officers didn't find any drugs on Doherty, and it will not jeopardize his probation.

In these pictures taken yesterday of Doherty shopping in London, he looks relatively sober. He's just trying to mind his own business while considering whether to buy a pair of binoculars. He seems really sweet and there's something about him that makes you just want to protect him... yeah, that must be how he snared Kate.

Pete Doherty ordered to 18 months of rehab


Pete Doherty was put on 2 years probation and ordered to attend an 18-month rehab program as part of his sentencing for drug charges today. Doherty is also banned from driving for six months, and will undoubtedly abandon his many second-hand Jaguars.

The rehab program must be outpatient, because the judge said she would work around Doherty's Babyshambles tour schedule:

Prosecutors noted the rocker's flippant - yet open - demeanor when he was arrested Dec. 18, one of a long line of run-ins with police.

Court documents said that when police found plastic bags of crack cocaine in his right sock, Doherty told officers: "I didn't think I had it in there."

[Judge] McIvor told Doherty she would adhere to his pre-planned drug rehabilitation regimen, choosing the dates of his court-ordered drug tests around his lengthy tour schedule.

"It's a long, slow process, but you are showing sufficient signs of compliance and effort," McIvor said. She noted that Doherty hadn't been arrested for drugs since Jan. 14

Doherty may be turning around despite his outspoken love of most all drugs. He bragged before a concert in Ireland last week that he was sober. He's also scheduled to play in a celebrity soccer tournament!

Dohery was said to have reconciled with famous supermodel Kate Moss, and even bragged that they were planning to marry soon. Moss was spotted holding hands with an Israeli financier while in New York recently, however, and has called her sex life "nonexistent."

Jada Pinkett Smith says she was a coked-out whore when she met Will Smith


Jada Pinkett Smith said she was a coked-out slut when she met Will Smith ten years ago and that he saved her from a life of debauchery. Well, that's not exactly what she said, we're inferring. It was pretty close, though:

She explains, "Will saved my life. I was literally killing myself when we started dating ten years ago.

"I was doing drugs, drinking alcohol and sleeping around."

The actress has been touring with her heavy metal band Wicked Wisdom, but steers clear of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.

She is now on the straight and narrow, but still admits her life isn't perfect: "I'm no different from any other woman. I have the same insecurities and issues."

Jada, it's called college and that's what everyone does. You're supposed to move on and not talk about it except to reminisce about how great it was.

Jada has been raising eyebrows with the rock and roll look she's sporting. She's the lead singer for heavy metal band, Wisdom. On anyone else this outfit would seem forced, but on Jada it looks rather fitting.

Paula Abdul gets beat up!


You probably heard this already, but I just wanted to post some of the many unflattering pictures of Paula Abdul. Abdul was out at an after-hours party in Hollywood when she ran into a former Creative Artists talent agent, Jim Lefkowitz, who is said to have been offended by her attitude. Abdul said that "a man she knew" threw her against the wall that night leaving her with a concussion and spinal injuries. Her attacker is assumed to be Lefkowitz, although that has not been confirmed.

Her exboyfriend was out with her and also suffered injuries that night. It is thought that he was defending her:

Us has learned that the night also ended with Abdul’s ex-boyfriend Dante Spencer in the hospital. According to a source, last Saturday night Abdul and friends headed to Xenii (a floating after-hours party held in a different location each week), where she ran into former CAA agent Jim Lefkowitz.

Abdul suffers from a neurological disorder called complex regional pain syndrome that may have made her injuries worse. She used the disorder to explain her erratic behavior on American Idol last season, but it does not seem sufficient to explain away her current problems on the show.

Here's Abdul on March 23 looking out of it at "An Evening with Liza Minnelli" presented by The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Eminem's wife says he's back on drugs


Eminem's estranged wife, Kim Mathers, spoke to a Detroit radio station yesterday morning about the couples second divorce. Eminem filed for divorce from Mathers after just three months. Mathers said she hadn't spoken to him in over six weeks, but that the divorce was unexpected. She also claimed that he is addicted to pills again:

"He's having problems with, you know, his problem that he had," she said, an apparent reference to the sleep-medication dependency for which Eminem was hospitalized last summer. "I was hoping we could get counseling and work it out, you know? ...

"Right after he came home from his rehab, we started to have a few problems, and I thought it was going to be in our best interest to delay the wedding," said Mathers, who was remarried Jan. 14 to her high school sweetheart.

"But he really pushed it and I thought it was really going to be something that worked this time," she said.

Eminem, however, has not spoken with her in about six weeks, she said, and surprised her by having her served with divorce papers.

"I don't really necessarily want to get divorced," said Mathers, whose first marriage to Eminem lasted from 1999 to 2001. "I was hoping he was going to come home and say, `I got us a counselor, let's go.' But you know it didn't work out that way. I got an attorney at the door instead."

For his part, Eminem has released a statement saying that Kim's claim that he's back on drugs is not true and that she knew he was divorcing her ahead of time:

"First, her allegations regarding my status post-rehab are both untrue and unfortunate. Second, she was aware that I was filing for divorce. We both tried to give our marriage another chance and quickly realized that a wedding doesn't fix the underlying problems."

Mathers has had her own problems with drug addiction and has a lengthy arrest record that includes allegations of assault, cocaine possession, and drunk driving.

Everyone knows that you can't get back together with your ex and expect it to work unless you both get serious therapy. The same problems come up again in different painful ways. His wife realized that they needed counseling, but Eminem was unwilling to do it. It sounds like he was just stubborn, and thought he could get back with Mathers for the sake of his daughter without doing any of the emotional work required. It's ironic that he can tell the world his most intimate problems through his lyrics but is too much of a pussy to talk to a shrink.

Kate Moss, Lindsay Lohan and Courtney Love to go on vacation together


"Ex" drug addicts Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, and Courtney Love are going to Hawaii together to give the world's paparrazi some well-deserved time in the sun.

Somehow Moss and Love consider themselves older mentors to Lindsay, who has no public drug scandal or stint in rehab yet:

The wild threesome, all said to be "firm friends", have all recently weathered very public drug scandals and hope a break away will help them overcome their problems.

Supermodel Kate, 32, checked into rehab last year after pictures of her using cocaine use were published, while rocker Courtney spent a month under house arrest for drug charges in early 2006.

Lindsay, 19, admitted to drug abuse and "emotional wreckage" in a frank interview with 'Vanity Fair' in February.

A source close to the 'Mean Girls' star says Kate has "adopted" Lindsay, while Kate in turn seems to be under the watchful eye of the newly clean Courtney, who also recently declared her intention to help Kate's on/off boyfriend Pete Doherty get off drugs.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Courtney is determined to be a calming influence on Lindsay who has had a really tough time of things, and she also adores Kate."

The trio may be celebrating Moss' recent triumph over the drug scandal she suffered when a video was released last year of her snorting cocaine. All criminal charges against Moss are expected to be dropped and she should have no criminal record. Moss wisely did not admit to any wrongdoing when questioned by police.

Moss recently received a £1million advance from Virgin Books to write a tell-all autobiography of her cocaine abuse.

Kate Moss to write tell-all autobiography of her cocaine abuse


Virgin mogul Richard Branson has paid Kate Moss a £1million advance to write an autobiography about her ordeal with cocaine abuse. Moss is said to have confided in Branson during her struggle to get off drugs last year:

The supermodel sought sanctuary on the Virgin tycoon's Caribbean isle. Necker, after her spell in rehab.

She had long chats with Branson, who has known Kate since she was 15 and signed to his Storm agency.

Kate was dropped by a host of labels following damning footage of her cocaine abuse last September. She spent a month in rehab in Arizona.

Branson said: "The story coming out could have saved her from a far worse situation"...

Branson has persuaded her to sign a £1million autobiography contract to confess all about her cocaine abuse
- published by Virgin Books.

Kate's career had some setbacks, but quickly recovered after the video of her doing cocaine came out last year. Now she's set to cash in big time with a revealing autobiography.

Kate Moss has also forfeited a lawsuit against Britian's Channel Five for a 2004 documentary, "The Truth about Kate Moss," that claimed that she did cocaine. In order to proceed with the lawsuit, Kate would have had to sign a statement that she didn't do cocaine. Instead of signing the statement, for which there is plenty of proof otherwise, she gave up persuing the lawsuit.

Here is Kate out with a male friend in London on Thursday. We also have pictures of her April appearance in Harper's Bazaar.

George Michael only had pot and poppers and gets off easy

Image hosting by Photobucket
George Michael received a "police caution" for his arrest last month in London. Contrary to earlier reports, Michael did not have the drug GBH in his car just some marijuana and the legal drug amyl nitrate, aka poppers.

This sounds like a slap on the wrist for Michael, who was found passed out in his car in London at the end of February. Police found several drugs in his car at the time along with an assortment of sex toys and porn.

The article says that Michael may have trouble getting a Visa to the states now that he has an arrest record, but it sounds as if he got off easy.

Kate Moss tries to give advice


Kate Moss tells tells her party buddy Lindsay Lohan do as I say, not as I do:

KATE Moss is warning actress Lindsay Lohan about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.

A source close to the 19-year-old tells us she's been "adopted" by Kate, 32, who is mentoring her as part of her process of recovery.

This sounds like someone trying to put a spin on the fact that Moss and Lohan are hanging out. They did get wasted and make out at a NY Strip club less than three months ago. Then again, it's been a few days since we've seen Lohan, so maybe she's taking Moss' advice.

Here is Moss yesterday outside of either her house or Davinia Taylor's house, depending on who you believe.

Pete Doherty loves drugs and cars


Pete Doherty has bought 8 Jaguars in 8 days, showing an ability to consume cars that almost rivals his excessive drug use. When his latest purchase was towed yesterday he didn't bother paying the fine and just went out and bought another one. It was a used model, though, so at least he's not wasting too much money:

Yesterday, Doherty's seventh car was towed away in East London but soon afterwards he handed over £1,000 to a salesman for a replacement model. The former lover of model Kate Moss had illegally parked his seventh Jag near his home on Monday. But instead of paying a fine when it was clamped, he ignored the gold limo and 24 hours later it was hauled off. When he realised it was missing, Doherty flew into a rage.

Swigging constantly from a bottle of Jack Daniels and looking as though he hadn't slept for days, he clambered up a high metal fence.

Once over the top, he dropped down into the yard of his favourite second-hand Jaguar dealer and started looking for car number eight.

We just enjoy picturing Doherty swigging from a bottle of Jack Daniels, jumping over a fence, and buying a car with cash.

Later that day Doherty's 1,000 pound car stalled out, but he managed to get it started again.

Another one of Doherty's cars was totalled outside his house this month, and he lost a different car in a traffic-related offense in January.

Doherty has also stated the obvious - that he loves drugs and does them for pure enjoyment:

He explained: "I don't take drugs to deaden me, I take 'em cos I love 'em. I know they're bad for me, financially crippling and I'm an addict. It's like being in a war, and now I'm picking up the pieces. I really do want to clean up this time. It would be interesting to film someone like me trying to detox because then people would see the pressures, how hard it is."

He seems to be gunning for his own reality show with those last comments. Now that, we would definitely watch.

Nicole Richie is confused


Nicole Richie has said that her childhood was so happy that it lead her to do drugs:

Nicole revealed, "I had a pretty fun childhood, but I just wanted to feel nothing. It wasn't that it was horrible and I wanted to feel better. I just didn't want to feel anything."

She adds, "Doing drugs kind of made me just forget and not feel anything, for a second. I think it's a combination of things. Partly just me wanting to be older - it's what the older kids were doing at the time."

Nicole has been cared for by Lionel Richie and his wife from the age of three. She is the daughter of a drummer that worked with Richie and one of his backstage assistants, and was formally adopted when she was nine. Even if she says things were fine and she had a good childhood, she may have been conflicted about her adoption. When someone says they don't want to feel anything, they're trying to deny that there's anything wrong.

Here are pictures of Richie on 3/24 with her hair extensions and some outtakes from her People magazine shoot.

Pete Doherty kicks a reporter outside of yet another court appearance


Pete Doherty wore his best skinny tie with a faded Irish flag safety-pinned to his lapel for his court appearance today. He showed up over an hour late to plead guilty to seven charges of drug possession representing the full range of his addictions including heroin, crack cocaine and marijuana. The charges resulted from police stops in December and January.

Doherty's lawyer asked for a six month delay to sentencing, with the judge ruling that he should return to court for a review on April 20th. When he left the courtroom, he got into a scuffle and kicked a BBC One reporter in the elbow:

It was when Doherty left the court - wearing his trademark trilby hat and a gray suit - that he allegedly kicked Barber in the elbow and knocked her microphone on the ground.

"It was total chaos here outside the court both when he arrived and when he left," Barber said on Radio One.

"Afterwards he leapt over the railings outside the court," she said. "All of a sudden he lashed out, kicking me in the arm that was holding the microphone."

Doherty then ran down the street pursued by nearly two dozen members of the media. He jumped over the trunk of a Jaguar sedan and into the driver's seat, nearly colliding with another car when he tried to pull out into the street.

Let us state the obvious that Doherty needs to clean up. He's probably afraid of losing Kate's affections if he does.

Two more pictures after the jump.

Pete Doherty has a complete and balanced diet... of drugs

Picture of Pete Doherty of Babyshambles looking strung out, with the caption Crack Makes me Happy
Train wreck Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty, who recently reconciled with shit-for-brains supermodel Kate Moss, is so mired in his addictive ways that he openly did crack, heroin and ecstasy in front of a Rolling Stone reporter. He also offered the reporter a taste of everything, except crack, which Doherty is known to adore.

When Rolling Stone's Mark Binelli tracked down the junkie ex-boyfriend of Kate Moss in a ramshackle drug den in Hackney, England, Doherty kicked off the Q&A by snorting some heroin. "Over the next three hours, Doherty will also smoke crack, shoot heroin and take an 'ecstasy' pill," Binelli relates. "He does all of this casually, and openly, except for the shooting up, which he performs near the kitchenette, with his back to us. He offers me heroin and ecstasy but not crack. I decline. The more drugs Doherty does, the more he seems to relax. He never becomes incoherent, though occasionally he seems confused."

Doherty most recently proved that he's on crack by befriending Mike Tyson.

A little love from kooky Kate and a vacation in the south of France might help him sober up, but we doubt it.

Pete Doherty loves Kate 4 eva

Pete Doherty arriving at court surrounded by cameras
In a tribute to his supermodel ex-girlfriend, Kate Moss, Pete Doherty scrawled the message "I love Kate 4 eva" in marker on the windshield of his gold Jaguar as he left court in London today. Doherty faces charges on seven counts of possessing controlled drugs. His case was adjourned until March 23.

Appearing in court to review a different case yesterday: the judge inexplicably praised Doherty's progress:

During another court appearance Wednesday, Doherty breezed through a review of his earlier sentence for possessing hard drugs despite twice failing drug tests last month. "You're doing quite well, but you need to keep it up," Magistrate Jane McIvor Doherty said then.

Here is Doherty hanging out a window to take a smoke break from his court appearance.

Charges dropped against Boy George

Boy George in profile with visible tattoos on his neck and wearing sunglasses
Boy George looks haggard as he heads to New York Criminal Court to face drug charges. Police found 13 bags of cocaine in George's apartment after responding to a burglary call in October, 2005. George initially claimed the drugs weren't his and that lots of people were in and out of his apartment.

Today George pled guilty though, and charges were dropped on the condition that George enters rehab and does some community service:

Singer Boy George pleaded guilty on Wednesday to falsely reporting a burglary and was sentenced to five days of community service and fined $1,000, but drug possession charges against him were dropped.

At a brief hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court, the singer appeared to receive his sentence and was ordered to attend a drug rehabilitation program.

Here are pictures of George outside the courtroom. Three more after the jump.

Kate Moss is a cokehead with taste

picture of Kate moss with a little white line coming out of her nose and a Faberge egg on top
Everyone knows that Kate Moss is a big cokehead ever since that video came out. She may or may not have recovered now, but her career definitely has. What's important is that Kate is not an average street druggie. She does it up with style:

Kate Moss allegedly used a Faberge egg to carry cocaine, ecstasy and the date-rape drug Rohypnol around the world with her.

The supermodel used the jewel-encrusted egg - worth £65,000 - to carry a supply of drugs through customs as she moved from one modelling job to another in the '90s.

Wait - Kate moss gave herself Rohypnal? Isn't that usually administered by dates who can't get laid? Oh yeah, those are the type of guys that she willingly dates. She must be trying to make it easier on herself.

The article goes on to state that a former associate claims Moss did drugs with Naomi Campbell while in South Africa:

Maselle also claims Kate indulged in a massive cocaine binge with fellow supermodel Naomi Campbell on the trip [to Capetown]

He said: "They ordered 30 grams of coke. Kate took me into the bathroom. There was just loads of coke, lines racked up everywhere."

Kate didn't just keep stuff in her purse - she used a Faberge egg worth more than six figures in US dollars. She added her own kind of expensive, jet-setting class to the druggie lifestyle.

Here's Kate Moss' blurry, shaky cocaine video with an Italian voiceover. I would post it here, but you've probably already seen it.

Update: Kate SLEPT with Naomi Campbell on that trip!

Paula Abdul needs an intervention

Paula Abdul has been visibly intoxicated on American Idol for at least two seasons now. In some of last season's auditions, Abdul's slurred comments are edited down to the bare minimum, and the camera spends very little time on her. Trying to fend off rumors of drug abuse, Paula released a statement in April of last year that she was suffering from a rare neurological disorder that causes burning pain, Complex regional pain syndrome. Here's what she said at the time:

"It was getting ugly with the lies people were saying," Abdul tells Entertainment Tonight in an interview airing today [4/20/05] and Friday. "It was time to set the record straight. I want America to know that I have never been addicted to anything, no chemical dependency, nothing for recreational purposes."

Notice the distinction Paula makes between taking something for medical and recreational purposes. She never said she doesn't take drugs, she just said that she doesn't think she's addicted and implied that if she is on medication, she needs it for medical reasons.

A year later and Paula's condition doesn't provide enough of an excuse. People think she needs to sober up before she goes on live TV, and newspapers are buzzing about her ridiculous behavior:

The Boston Herald’s Lauren Beckham Falcone writes... “The ‘American Idol’ judge was incoherent on last night’s live telecast, bumbling lines and giggling like she’d just emerged from a Grateful Dead concert, leaving audiences, contestants and host Ryan Seacrest more confused than a homophobic Clay Aiken fan.

With Heather Cox and Brenna Gethers standing on stage, Ryan Seacrest asked Paula why they were there, and Paula replied, “Simon said because one of them ate pizza and the other ate salad.” Then she started giggling crazily.

She went on to mumble something about a fortune cookies, a moth, cornflake, and a melon. This is true.

All of this comes on the heels of Paula's breech of security at LAX.

Defamer has video of Paula's breakdown on American Idol, and here's a clip of a saner, buffer judge as Barry Bonds impersonates Paula Abdul.

Pete Doherty arrested for car theft

Picture of Pete Doherty of Babyshambles looking strung out, with the caption Crack Makes me Happy
Will this guy ever clean up? Pete Doherty was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle and, of course, drugs:

Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty – also known as Kate Moss's ex, who appeared with her in tabloid photos of her doing drugs last year – was arrested in England Monday night on suspicion of stealing a car and possessing class A drugs, West Midlands Police tell PEOPLE.

Doherty, 26, and two men aged 18 and 19 were detained by Birmingham police and then released Tuesday morning on no-fee police bail "pending further inquiries," says a police spokesman.

"We don't know what the drugs are at this point. The substance has been sent for analysis," the spokesman adds. Class A drugs typically include cocaine, heroin and opium.

I can see drug charges, but stealing a car? Of course this wouldn't even make the news if he wasn't Moss' ex. This guy is such a mess.

George Michael arrested in London for drugs

Image hosting by Photobucket
George Michael has been arrested in London on drug charges after being found passed out in a car:

A London police spokesman would not confirm Michael had been arrested. He issued a statement saying a 42-year-old man had been held on suspicion of possessing Class C drugs, a group in British law which includes cannabis, tranquilizers and some painkillers.

“We were called by a member of the public to a man seen slumped over the steering wheel of a car,” the statement said. “He was arrested on suspicion of possession of controlled substances.”

He was bailed to return to a police station in late March pending a police investigation.

Obviously if this is true, George Michael is not sober and that's a shame. Otherwise this is not a case of impaired driving. He wasn't driving, he was just passed out in a car. We can't assume that he drove to that point, although it's possible. He may have visited a friend or a bar in the area and tried to sleep it off in his car. It's a bit damning that he was "slumped over the wheel," but he was parked and you can't assume anything.

Also, he's out on bail now and he's surely embarassed, but not much will come of this case apart from bad publicity, a potential stint in rehab, and another teary-eyed confession on Oprah.
