A cartoon book depicting the life of Pete Doherty is to become a TV animation. The book, one of Popjustice founder Peter Robinson's series of Mr Men-esque books about various pop types - including Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Elton John - is entitled 'A Boy Called Pete', and depicts a character who "sings songs and wears hats", takes drugs and has a girlfriend called Kate. No details yet as to when the animation will air.
Elsewhere in Doherty news, Babyshambles performed their previously reported lunchtime gig in Selfridges car park yesterday to mark the launch of the new Gio-Goi range of clothing inspired by the singer. The gathered crowd waited well over an hour for the band to appear and play a four song set. Taking to the stage, Doherty asked the fans: "Where have you been? I've been in the stationary department on my own for the last hour-and-a half." Bless.
