Pete Doherty, cancelling gigs at the last minute? Surely not? Yep, there was much excitement last night when Doherty's other band (i.e. not the Libertines), Babyshambles, cancelled their gig at Aberdeen's Lemon Tree at the last minute. Fans told reporters they were told about the cancellation at 10.50pm, 20 minutes after the band were due on stage. They were told that Doherty had "fallen downstairs", but the real excitement took place outside the venue when disgruntled fans gathered around the band's tour bus. Twenty police officers - including a dog handler - were called in to deal with the disturbance, and seven people were arrested. Officers eventually escorted the band's bus from the scene to their hotel. Fun, fun.
Talking of which, rumour has it Mr Doherty is currently considering a £100,000 offer to appear in Celebrity Big Brother, which would be fun. According to The Sun the show's producers have said he could keep his fee even if he quit on the first day. Of course Doherty already offers a frequent window on his life via his weblog - then again he might not be too impressed with BB's offer given that word is they asked Liam Gallagher to be resident loose cannon before turning to the Libertine-in-exile.
