When I originally decided that a 2nd Pete-a-Palooza would be a decent idea, the plan was to post a series of stockpiled tidbits and piccies, but that’s not exactly happened yet. Unfortunately, that little bugger keeps making the news, so I’m struggling to keep everything straight and attempting to clear out the rubbish rumours and present the closest possible version of the truth. That is, if you’re into that sort of thing. Most sites just cut and paste Doherty rumours without even bothering to realize that nobody can make a diamond out of a dead cat’s ashes. Yes, Doherty tends to breed odd situations, but even our antihero cannot basic laws of physics, mates.

Pete Doherty’s now learning what it felt like for Carl Barat when, years ago, Pete broke into his former bandmate’s flat and tore shit up. It seems that, while on tour, Doherty’s own home was burgled:

Previously convicted burglar PETE DOHERTY has been left devastated after his own residence was raided by thieves. The rocker was touring in Madrid, Spain with his band Babyshambles over the weekend (beg19Jul08) when his home in Wiltshire, England was ransacked. Among the items stolen were a $2,000 (GBP1,000) guitar and three paintings Doherty created with his own blood.

Hopefully, the thieves stuck themselves with an infected needle on the way out. Did I really just type that?

Doherty’s latest arrest warrant has been dropped, and he’s been notified that he is duly expected to attend a July 24 hearing on charges of criminal damage for roughing up a photog. Hopefully, Pete will actually show to court this time.

On August 2-3, Doherty is scheduled to perform, along with The (sorta kinda) Sex Pistols, at the Live at Loch Lomond festival. Unfortunately, £60,000 worth of tickets have vanished while in transit to resellers, and anyone who buys these tickets from scalpers will find that they’ve been voided.

In junkie love life news, tabloids are making shit up to the effect that Doherty may reunite with Lisa Moorish, his baby mama. This is all pretty unlikely speculation, as the tabloids have only heard from a “friend” who hopes the two will reunite. Whatever.

Meanwhile, it looks like that rumoured breakup between Kate Moss and The Kills’ Jamie Hince was just rubbish. In all likelihood, Jamie had just “packed his suitcase” to go on tour until October, but he and Moss were spotted enjoying a bit shopping together over the weekend. The couple does look awfully cozy together:

Sorry, Pete.
