We often receive emails (some nicer than others) that inquire what “this strange fascination” with Pete Doherty is all about. Unfortunately, no immediate answer to that question exists. However, let’s kick off this shindig of a discussion with a tantalizing tidbit from Holy Moly:

Pete Doherty gets so wasted when taking heroin that he thinks he has glass under his skin (apparently it’s a common side effect). He then gouges chunks of his skin out to try and remove it. A mole tells us that he has a hole in his foot that is now so large that he no longer needs to use a needle to get a hit as it just goes in like a dream.

With that in mind, we’ll quickly move onto a dispatch from Flea, who alerted us to a Dior advert that features male model Jamie Dornan and music by Pete Doherty & Wolfman (yes, this guy). Also enclosed was a mini-revelation from Flea:

Ok, now I get it. He has a great voice. The rest of it is what they overlook because they know the real him through his music. God what a scam.

Flea, being a clever fellow, has partially nailed it. However, I shall admit that I do hope the puzzle is never entirely solved, or else there will be no more need for Doherty posts. That would be a sad day, mates.

However, the aforementioned Dior advert has caused me to realize that if the KLF were to reinvent Pete Doherty, they may want to use a guy that looks a lot like Jamie Dornan. Then again, that would defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it? Video can be found below:
