It was only a matter of time, mates, before Pete Doherty screwed up again. An arrest warrant has been issued for Pete’s second consecutive failure to show up for a Wednesday court hearing on criminal damages charges:

It was expect[ed] the Babyshambles singer, 29, would turn up and enter a plea after being accused of attacking a female photographer last summer. It is alleged Doherty pulled a camera from the neck of snapper Cath Mead, 29, who was attempting to take shots of him and then girlfriend, Irina Lazareanu.

In related news, Doherty finally admitted to overbooking himself and apologized for that missed Newcastle gig. Looks like someone should have checked his schedule before jetting off to France to deliver a performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Doherty worked himself into such a lather that he went for the money shot:

Pete Doherty sprayed champagne into the mouths of audience members during the climax of Babyshambles set at at the Montreux Jazz Festival on Tuesday (July 15th). The band’s performance in Switzerland came after a string of cancelled festival appearances, including scheduled dates in Norway and Belgium. Local reports described Babyshambles performance, which included tracks from both their albums, as “compelling” and “turmoil” free.

Perhaps he should have saved the money shot for the magistrate. We hear that those naughty little servants of the court like that sort of thing.
