Kate Moss may have decided not to fake-write a book about her drug-addled romance with Pete Doherty, but that doesn’t mean that Pete Doherty has to refrain likewise. In fact, Pete has signed a deal in excess of half a million dollars to have exerpts of his journals smashed together in a commercially-digestable format, much like cocaine.
Orian Publishing Group Ltd. is releasing the Doherty Diaries in March 2007, which zoom through twenty volumes of personal journals spanning from 1999 (his pre-Libertine days as a Buddy Holly impersonator) to present. Not surprisingly, Pete failed to show up at London’s Boogaloo pub for the officlal announcement celebration with the publisher.
D-Listed attempts to save you a bit of time by summing up his expectations for the bound edition:
March 1, 2004 – Shot up
March 2, 2004 – Shot up, got arrested, snogged Kate
March 3, 2004 – Shot up, got arrested
March 4, 2004 – Went to granny’s, Shot up
March 5, 2004 – Shot up, passed out
January 18, 2006 – Woke up, shot up
Oh damn, that’s highly accurate. In addition, before you run out and spend your precious cash buying the hardbook edition in March 2007, you can (for the moment) download some of Pete’s journals at the Albion Arks website. Yes, I know you’re all dying to read Pete’s scrawlings that make absolutely no sense to someone who isn’t on massive amounts of drugs. Cheerio, Mate!

Pity the poor editor that gets stuck with that pile of slag & has to do something with it
It couldn’t be any worse than editing Liz Wurtzel…
Wait – “journals” implies that he can actually write!
HA! Wurtzel is exactly who I was thinking of when I wrote that.
She will never top her candid reaction to Sept 11th, tho: “Oh no, what a pain in the ass!”
