By now, journalists should know better than to entitle an article, “V Festival: Essex, no drugs, and rock & roll,” especially when Pete Doherty is on the roster:
Amy Winehouse couldn’t make it, poor love. You know you’re in trouble when Pete Doherty is fulfilling more bookings than you are.
Not only did Babyshambles make it to the stage on Saturday, they managed to stay there for the time allotted. Pete even complained about not being allowed to play for longer.
It wouldn’t have been a tragedy if they had played on, either. They genuinely do look like a proper band now: they keep time, they don’t beat each other up, and you can almost hear some of the words. What Katy Did, from the second Libertines album, glistened like dew on a cobweb.
While Babyshambles played their set, Canadian supermodel Irina Lazareanu watched Pete from the side of the stage. This girl that Pete calls “Rina” is actually an ex-girlfriend that he used to date in early 2005. The pair have reportedly rekindled their romance, and Pete was spotted visiting Irina for a few hours at the five-star Claridge hotel in London before jumping into a a blue carrier car to leave for Babyshamble’s set at the V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex. At about 2am this morning, Pete was arrested in east London for alleged possession of drugs. What a waster.
Kate Moss also reportedly attended the festival but waited to show up until Doherty had left the premises, which is really too bad. Kate wouldn’t have been too pleased to see her ex-boyfriend with the model she nudged out of obscurity and into the pages of the 2005 issue of French Vogue that was guest-edited by Moss. Soon after Moss backed Irina, “The phone began ringing off the hook with job offers.” Irina promptly went on to break a modelling record by “by strutting down 76 catwalks in one season.” Kate then cast Irina as the secondary face of the Kate Moss Topshop Collection, which will no doubt not be the case next season.
Below are images of Pete and Irina leaving the Claridge hotel from The Daily Mail:

It’s beyond pathetic to see tossers like this Doherty imbecile trying to hoe the same row that the late Johhnny Thunders – the guy for whom the term “tragically hip” was coined for: I was there when it happened – did back in the late 70’s and 80’s. I roadied for Johnny during the Cosa Nostra tour of Europe in ‘83, and he was a real, genuine, tortured-soul-type artist with a disconcerting presence and deep charisma. Doherty is a no-talent media fabrication in comparison.
