A lovely email yesterday from Vinnie (known around here as “Fickle Blog Skimmer”), who after blaming me for crashing the internets, added a bit of prophetic cheeriness:

“Have a happy Thanksgiving, and don’t forget to give thanks for Pete Doherty! Talk about a wealth of entertainment material!”

Yes, considerably. That cheeky Pete Doherty has indeed embarked upon his Regularly Scheduled Friday Trip To Rehab™. This week, our antihero has chosen an exclusive Portugese clinic to quash his ills for the fifth time.

This follows the latest arrest in east London last Saturday when Pete’s latest Jaguar was seen swerving erratically, as opposed to swerving in an organized manner. One of the junkies present in Pete’s car was musician Peter Wolfe, otherwise known as “Wolfman,” who is shown in pictures below seducing Pete in 2004. Sexy.

Kate is said to be extremely pissed off at Pete for his latest arrest and has told Pete that his old junkie crew isn’t compatible with their relationship: “Stop seeing them or you’re dumped.” Darling Kate has also reportedly removed the engagement ring that she probably bought for herself, so methinks Pete stubbornly stuck his toe over her chalk-drawn line.

According to Pete’s concerned mates, the effects of rehab are short-lived as usual:

“He’s one step away from ripping the implant which helps him stay off heroin out of his arm and going back on the smack . . . Pete knows he’s dating the most beautiful woman in the world but even that doesn”’t seem to be enough.”

It would seem that the lure of the Wolfman is sexier to Pete than snogging Kate Moss. Sod’s law or just a junkie?
