Pete Doherty walked out of Wormwood Scrubs prison in West London early Tuesday morning waving a certificate in the faces of reporters outside prison gates that claimed that he was drug free. Try not to laugh out loud. When asked if he got high in jail, he said “Well, I knew it was going to be a bit rough to start with, with the overcrowding and the medical facilities although they do their best - they are good, they can’t really cater for the average junkie…” So that’s a yes then. He also said he was buzzing to be free saying “I feel great — I’ve walked out and I don’t feel like I want to score. I want to go for a nice walk in the park instead.” This makes my eyes roll.

Rocker Pete Doherty has hit hard times after splitting with girlfriend, Kate Moss, and is playing birthday parties for just $200.

Babyshambles frontman Doherty made one young female fan’s dream come true by turning up to her bash recently, and has been inundated with requests ever since.

A source said: “The birthday girl’s dad told him she was a huge fan and that he’d give him $200 to perform at her party. Pete was flattered and happy to oblige. He turned up and played his big hits. Everyone had a great time. Some partygoers asked him when he was going to start making dogs out of balloons. He took it in good humour. It made her day and now she’s a very popular girl with her pals. Her dad told the local paper and Pete has been bombarded with requests to play since.”

Since word started to spread about the cash-poor rocker being available for birthdays, weddings and other social occasions, he has been in huge demand. His agent has had over 500 requests for Pete to play hits such as F*** Forever at private functions.

It’s a far cry from the charges many other pop stars have charged for private gigs. The Sultan of Brunei paid Celine Dion $6
millions in 1997, Kylie Minogue got $2 millions for a 40-minute show for Barcelona businessmen in 2004, and Christina Aguilera got $2.5 millions for two songs at a 2005 wedding.

Loopy Pete Doherty has reportedly shelled out over £1000 on an arsenal that includes a Samurai sword and antique guns.

Don’t panic; he is not expected to be planning a hold-up. The Babyshambles singer seems to be simply indulging his passion for anything old. He will probably hang the weapons up on the wall of his Wiltshire home; next to the tasteful “art” pieces done in his own blood.

Junkie Pete has become quite a home boy of late – even stopping halfway through the creation of another one of his “art” pieces to call the local radio station and request Beatles song ‘I’ll be back’

He told the DJ, “I am trying to do some painting and that.”

Let’s hope the “and that” doesn’t involve his usual pharmacy of drugs…

Amy Winehouse gave one of her usual bombed-out performances at the MTV Europe Music Awards. She was even booed off the stage when she could barely say the word “Thanks” after receiving her Artists’ Choice award. However, the new drug-free Pete Doherty says that Amy is on “the straight and narrow,” Holy crap…I was going on and on about how freaking ugly she is (all the time when I see her pics on the internet and music news sites)…then I got a look at her husbands teeth! Sweet mother of Jesus! Can you imagine kissing that thing! It looks like he’s never brushed a day in his life. Bet it smell reals nice, jack! He wouldn’t be a bad looking guy though if he wasn’t so messed up on drugs and hadn’t messed up his body. Yipes; these 2 are obviously not good for each other. I bet there’s some serious mental & emotional abuse going on, in addition to the drug abuse. Hope she gets out of that situation alive.

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty want to recreate John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s infamous bed-in at Glastonbury this weekend.
The couple has decided to make the peace protest on the acoustic stages, part of the Babyshambles singer’s solo set at the legendary Somerset music festival.
A source told the Britain’s Newspaper Daily Star newspaper about the couple’s decision: ”Pete is playing the festival with Babyshambles and also taking on an acoustic set under his own steam. He asked Kate to join him and they both thought it would be nice to do something different - more of an installation that a straightforward performance. They’ve been writing a lot of poetry lately and feeling quite political. Like John and Yoko, they’re hoping to turn the relentless fascination with their relationship into something positive.”
John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969 made their legendary two-week-long duvet protest against the war in Vietnam during their honeymoon at the Amsterdam Hilton.
The 33-year-old supermodel and Pete are said to be equally frustrated about how little the recent G8 summit - a conference with representatives from the UK, the US, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and Germany - appeared to achieve in solving world issues.
The couple’s intention may be impeded by the red tape.
The source added: “The idea might have come a bit late in the day for this year’s festival.”

Pete Doherty plans to marry Kate Moss this summer — providing he stays off drugs, his diary says. London’s The Times newspaper has printed extracts from the journals of Babyshambles/Libertines rocker Pete Doherty. The troubled singer gives insight into his tempestuous relationship with the supermodel in “The Books of Albion: The Collected Writings of Peter Doherty.”

He writes that he hopes to marry her this summer, provided he is “smack and needle-free. I become (sic) 10 times happier than any given smack head. Huzzah!” The entries also detail the fights between the couple, many of which appear to be about Doherty’s addiction to heroin and crack cocaine.

Doherty is booked to play Glastonbury over the weekend with Babyshambles. Rumors are rife that he will also perform at the festival with ex-Libertines band mate Carl Barat
