Libertines sign deal to reunite in 2010

Kim LaCapria — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:57:26 +0000

The Libertines, the band fronted by Carl Barat and Pete Doherty and famously torn apart by Doherty’s fondness for heroin and crack, will finally reform, according to Contact Music.

The band, which was wildly popular in the early part of the 2000s, was featured as frequently in gossip columns as in music press for Doherty’s near-constant scandals, with bouts in rehab and jail and a contentious relationship with Kate Moss. (She was in Doherty’s company when she was filmed snorting coke in a recording studio in 2005.) The relationship between Barat and Doherty degraded throughout 2004 and by the end of that year, Barat had dissolved the band rather than continuing on without Doherty. Doherty has since played with his band Babyshambles, while Barat has been involved with band Dirty Pretty Things.

Although Barat said earlier this month that he was too busy to reunite with the Libertines, it has been reported that the band will be reforming in 2010.

Pete Doherty Set To Stand Trial Over Erratic Driving Charge

AHN — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:00:35 +0000

Pete Doherty is set to stand trial in December for driving charges. The Babyshambles rocker appeared in court on Thursday morning to plead not guilty to driving dangerously after a show in Gloucester on June 11 this year.

According to ThisIsGloucestershire.co.uk, the 30-year-old musician will stand trial on December 21 after Judge William Hart said the alleged offense was at the “bottom end of the scale” for dangerous driving.

The trial is expected to last for two to three days.

Doherty, who has a well-publicized drug use, was seen driving erratically around Gloucester on June 11. He was booked on suspicion of drink driving, possession of drugs and failure to stop for police.

Pete Doherty Overdoses in Austria, Says The Sun

Sigh. This news is about as surprising as Amy Winehouse buzz: Pete Doherty supposedly overdosed in Austria at the end of last week. Remember that porno theater where Pete was going to show his expose memoir with tidbits about Kate Moss and various paramours? Yeah, he collapsed before his performance there, and The Sun reports that it could have been due to overdose:

“He had reportedly been on a huge bender at his promoter Bettina Aichbauer’s farmhouse. She called an ambulance and he was revived — but the gig had to be delayed four hours. The BABYSHAMBLES frontman refused hospital treatment and managed to play his gig. Last night his agent refused to comment.”

Anyone surprised? Anyone?

Get Ready, It’s Pete Doherty Porno Time

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:04:21 +0000

Pete Doherty is the worst ex-flame ever, even more so than John Mayer. While John’s flapping his trap all over town, Pete’s planning on debuting a “tell-all biography home video” at an Austrian adult theatre in Gaz. According to a friend who’s already seen the vid, “Some of it is very revealing.”

The grunge factor in combination with sexual factoids about Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse has got to be riveting, in the whole so-terrible-I-can’t-stop-watching way.

Oldie-But-Goody: Pete Doherty To Write “Explosive Tell-All”

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:46:08 +0000

I know Pete Doherty is in a band and must create things from time to time besides horrid videos, but my eyebrows raised a couple of notches when I read about his “intensely personal” autobiography that will apparently cover his torrid 18-month relationship with supermodel Kate Moss.

It makes much more sense that Pete has enlisted help from Sean Boru, who also collaborated with other famous types like Michael Carroll and Alex Higgins on their bios. Boru told The Daily Star that “The whole premise of the book is Pete talking about Kate Moss and the sex and drugs and rock’n’roll lifestyle they shared.” (I would like to know a little bit about Kate behind the scenes, although Pete I could do without.)

So poor Pete won’t need exhaust himself, use up his creative juices, or pick his brain too much, then. Close one! He can go back to filming after all.

Do You Want to Watch Pete Doherty Bathe?

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:34:59 +0000

That is a rhetorical question, of course, but I have a feeling that Pete Doherty could care less about our delicate sensibilities. As if playing with his creepy mice and Amy Winehouse wasn’t enough (*shivering*), he has now taken the opportunity to show us that he’s not as dirty as we all thought. One question, though: if you film yourself doing something, doesn’t that usually make it a special, unusual, or an otherwise momentous occasion by default? Yeah, I don’t think he bathes much.

On another note, how bad are you feeling for his cat now? It has to watch him do stuff like this all the time, and from what I can see, it lives in one of the creepiest environments you could imagine.

Pete Doherty Might Be Killing His Cats

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 28 May 2008 20:13:07 +0000

Pete Doherty of Babyshambles and Amy Winehouse-wooin’ fame could be in trouble after one of his cats allegedly met a mysterious death. This comes, of course, after one of his other pussies was taped possibly getting hits from a specially made crack pipe last year. Just yesterday Pete stumbled into a gig in Brixton Mass after an announcement was made that one of his cats had “gone crazy,” and told the crowd “Sorry I’m late. But considering I’ve had to bury one of my cats at the roadside I’ve done pretty well to be here.”

I hope that means that the RSPCA got the messages, too, because he could be up to his old tricks. His rep later said that he was joking, but his track record sucks.
