Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again; a fair few of you will have heard all of this already, but CMU consider it a duty to ensure that not one of you remains uninformed of every twist and turn in the Pete Doherty soap opera. So, here's the latest...
As you know, Doherty was not sent to prison on Wednesday despite a plethora of drugs charges - he was sentenced instead to a twelve month community order. He does, of course, run the risk of prison time if he doesn't comply with that order, and is due back in court for a review on 8 Mar.
Since his appearance in court, he's made an appearance at the Boogaloo, according to NME, who say that he played a 'freedom gig' with his fellow 'Shamblers at the north London bar the day of his sentencing and release.
Doherty has also given an interview to Radio 1, telling the station's newsbeat programme that he's going to steer clear of the Class As from now on: "I'm getting an implant in four days", he said, "as far as the drugs are concerned, it's simple - I'd rather be on the out with no smack than inside prison with no smack."
When asked if he thought he avoided a custodial sentence because of his celebrity status, Doherty replied: "What do you think I've been doing for the last 12 days? Picking tulips? I've been sat in a cell sweating it out, fully aware of the circumstances. But I've also been with murderers, on occasions a couple of brick walls away from paedophiles."
He continued: "I'm not a threat to society, I'm not selling drugs to anyone's children. I'm not encouraging or ever will encourage people to take drugs."
The interviewer finally asked the singer if he was on drugs at that moment; Doherty is said to have answered "What now?" before putting the phone down. Which was clever of him.
