He'd managed to avoid returning to prison for so long (he did a stint back in 2003), but now soap-dodger Pete Doherty is back behind bars. Sentenced to 14 weeks at Wormwood Scrubs for flouting the terms of his suspended sentence, the Babyshambles singer has more to worry about than dropping the soap in the shower, as his showbiz pals have deserted him. Cue evil cackle.
According to The Sun, Doherty's ex, supermodel Kate Moss was seriously disinterested in her former flame's shame, described by a chum as "not caring". While fellow popwreck Amy Winehouse laughed on hearing the news.
A friend of the Wino elaborated: “Amy’s first reaction when she heard was to laugh. Pete had told everyone he was just going to court for a quick appearance and had no idea he was going to jail. She just laughed and kept saying, ‘I can’t believe it’. Pete’s just a comedy character to Amy. She thinks he’s a bit of a clown.”
Nice to see that with her beloved Blake behind bars, Amy is sympathetic to the prison plights of her friends. But while his celebrity circle might be far from missing his personal pong, Pete's work acquaintances are mightily pissed off.
He was due to appear on the judging panel at the GoBusker.com UK Battle of the Bands, with his no-show creating a £70,000 loss, while his Royal Albert Hall gig later in the month has also fallen victim. For his fans (there must be some out there), this is a serious kick in the teeth, but for the rest of us? Finally a faint whiff of justice and a bloody good laugh.
