Doherty forgets to pay

The Mirror's 3am Girls report Pete Doherty left a Vienna Burberry shop with two unpaid scarves, and that Babyshambles are reportedly falling apart.

According to The Mirror's 3am Girls, Pete Doherty forgot to pay for some scarves in a shop in Vienna last weekend, but not only that, they say that he's becoming what is known, I believe, in current parlance, as a 'chav'.

Doherty, who, say the girls, has taken to dressing head-to-toe in Burberry, did some shopping in Vienna airport following two Austrian gigs, spending more than £450 in the Burberry shop on a coat and a watch. He then, however, picked up a couple of scarves and walked out with them.

A shop assistant is quoted as saying: "It was bizarre. He paid for the coat and watch but then walked out with two scarves. He took a pink one and one for himself that should have cost £175. I called the police when he left the shop. They chased him to his gate and found the scarves on him, he told them he 'forgot' to pay and handed over the 250 euros in crumpled 5 euro notes."

Meanwhile, there's a suggestion that's all not well between Doherty and his Babyshambles bandmates - who, as previously reported, have been getting into trouble by themselves, unassisted by their frontman. An 'insider' says: "It's all starting to fall apart and people are cracking under the pressure."
