Well, everyone is saying that Pete Doherty, lead singer of the band Babyshambles, has been dumped by his supermodel girlfriend Kate Moss, apparently because, quelle surprise, Doherty has walked out of rehab after just a week. As was widely reported, the singer agreed to attend the same clinic in Arizona that Moss recently attended for a four week course of therapy, in order to save his relationship with the model. The Sun reports that Doherty is now back in London, and was seen out drinking with friends at the Brixton Academy on Tuesday, and was apparently arrested at some point earlier in the week on suspicion of possessing crack. According to a friend: "Kate is absolutely fuming. She'd hoped they'd spend Christmas together."
Doherty, meanwhile, cites different reasons for being ditched. According to The Sun, he says "I can't buy her diamonds and my dick is too small. I never know where I stand with her. It's either a black eye or a love-bite. It's like being in Afghanistan with her. I wish I could find some middle ground. I thought I'd be able to do five weeks. But if I'm honest, my head would have exploded. I only stuck at it because she paid for it."
Elsewhere, Doherty has been dissed by George Michael over that shambolic performance at Live 8. "I don't know what Elton was hoping to achieve by doing a duet with Pete Doherty at Live 8. It was almost like it was Doherty's duty to be wasted and stumble about on stage. He's a very intelligent man. It's sad to watch his heroin addiction being glorified. He hasn't written a memorable pop song."
On Kate Moss's recent troubles he added: "She didn't deserve all the flak she got because she doesn't court publicity. But the press was doing her a favour in the end because she has a child and you can't hang around with heroin addicts and dealers when you are a mother."
