Let’s be honest here — you won’t give a shit about this story because it’s mostly about Pete Doherty. In fact, this story will be largely passed over in favor of a picture of somebody’s ass that we’ll probably post later on today. That’s the nature of this particular antihero — just worth a few giggles — and no one with a bit of self-respect should mind if the tabloids authentically cause him misery. It’s only Pete fucking Doherty, so why the hell should you care?

Exactly, which is why The Daily Mail successfully continues its reprehensible practice of making shit up. Really, it’s no wonder that Doherty Hates The Daily Mail or that that we write posts entitled The Tabloids Are Making Shit Up Again. Yet, we’re just one blog in the midst of those who find it easier to believe than to give a shit.

The Daily Mail may very well have the $$$ to buy the more controversial paparazzi photos, but they’re still lazy as hell, and on any given day, you’ll find articles ranging from alleged footballer affairs, “revealing” photos of celebrity cellulite, and the undeniable evidence of their notorious starlet kneecap fetish. Failing any news on these riveting topics, The Daily Mail steals stories from bloggers. The screenshot at left captures an article, stolen by the Daily Mail from our BFFs at Celebitchy, who spent hours researching the details and writing the original story about Brad Pitt(see the full account at Celebitchy).

The Daily Mail was also exclusively(!) responsible for penning the fake story that resulted in the Moss/Doherty breakup. Moss dumped Pete immediately after The Daily Mail claimed that Doherty had slept with a South African model named Lindi Hingston. The tabloid’s “facts” were “corroborated” by another fake story, also by The Daily Mail, that laughingly portrayed Doherty as a sex-fiend. Yes, that would be the eighth wonder of the modern world: The Miraculously Enduring Erection of the World’s Most Notorious Heroin Addict.

Lindi Hingston

As to the alleged affair between Lindi Hingston and Doherty, we called bullshit and later confirmed the affair as completely false. At the behest of Lindi Hingston, who wished to clear her reputation, The Daily Shite Mail begrudgingly published an inconspicuously-situated retraction that admitted to fictionalizing the affair:

Contrary to reports that Lindi Hingston had slept with Pete Doherty and broken up his relationship with Kate Moss, we can confirm that Lindi and Pete have never slept together, they haven’t even held hands!

Quite naturally, nobody really paid any attention to this practically invisible retraction, and The Daily Mail, quite happy to get onto scrutinizing Angelina Jolie’s hand veins, deleted its original article. Kate Moss probably never heard of this retraction, and no one gave a shit because Pete Doherty is, apparently, just a junkie who deserves every misfortune that comes his way. Besides, Kate Moss found herself a new male fashion accessory and no longer desires this old thing:

So, onto the weekend’s Glastonbury festival, where the buzz was that Babyshambles had canceled their show, along with a Norwegian concert, merely because “Doherty’s really as tired of it all as the Norwegian news site VG Nett is reporting.” In direct contrast to these reports, Pete Doherty took over for the entire band by playing a solo show, and he was later joined by Babyshambles’ bassist, Drew McConnell. Doherty didn’t bother attempting to explain the situation, probably because he knew that the papers wouldn’t report it. What had actually occurred was that Mik Whitnall, the band’s guitarist, ODed on heroin about a week ago. All this time, everyone assumed that Doherty was the sole troublemaker of the group, but, instead of trashing anyone else, the show went on with a mix of current songs as well as some old Libertines favourites:

Doherty was on impressive form, seemingly bolstered by the hugely enthusiastic response he received from the crowd, who sang along to most numbers. During ‘La Belle Et La Bette’, [sic] the response was so great Doherty abandoned his guitar at the death, singing along to hand claps.

At the end of the performance, Doherty closed the first day of Glastonbury with a quick goodbye: “Thanks for watching, enjoy the rest of the festival.” Earlier that evening, Kate Moss’ new rocker boyfriend, guitarist Jamie Hince of The Kills, performed on a stage at the opposite end of the festival. Oh, and then there was the silly rumour that Hince demanded 120 rolls of toilet paper, so that he and Moss could keep their bums nice and tidy all weekend. We don’t believe that one either.

What does seem rather consequential is the fact that, one year later, Doherty still cares a great deal for Kate Moss. After his solo show at Glasto, he went home and, in the wee hours of the morning, recorded a song written by Coco Sumner (daughter of Sting). The video footage, below the cut, is spliced with photos of the Moss/Doherty relationship:
