In more surprising news, from this side of the globe this time, Pete Doherty might go to jail. Apparently, he’s been pulled up for all sorts of drug offences and he might have to suffer the consequences. Gasp!
Doherty was never on my radar until he broke into his former bandmate’s (Carl Barat) home and stole some of his possessions. And since then, he seems to be famous for ZERO reason. Apart from 1) Drug arrests here, there and everywhere 2) Wearing a hat at a “jaunty” angle 3) Teaming up with Kate Moss to compete for some sort of “Scruffiest And Most Pretentious Couple Ever” award (I think it’s fair to assume that they won) and 4) Selling his non-story to the tabloids. Oh and then 5) Repeat from step 1.
If he went to jail he wouldn’t be able to do any of the above, at least not in public. How he’s escaped so far…who knows?
