PLASTERED PETE DOHERTY must have been overcooking it on the old crystals this week.

The BABYSHAMBLES frontman has commissioned a pretentious sculpture of himself on a cross for his forthcoming solo show in London.

Comparing yourself to Jesus Christ now Pete? For God’s sake.

And I just love the crackpot idea behind it.

The “disturbing artwork” will be carved in marble and show Doherty being tortured, surrounded by strips of newspapers — symbolising his crucifixion by the media.

Because of course the supermodel-shagging, paparazzi-baiting friend of AMY WINEHOUSE hates having his ugly mug in the paper.

He apparently believes everyone’s out to get him.

Anyway, Potty Pete’s artist pal NICK REYNOLDS — the son of Great Train Robber Bruce Reynolds — has spent hours holed up with Pete and his er, crack team, preparing a cast.

He deserves a medal for his messy efforts.

I wouldn’t fancy lathering the gangly druggie with my bare hands.

The cast will be used as a reference point for Reynolds to make an accurate sculpture.

And the “masterpiece” will appear on stage with Pete at his Royal Albert Hall gig on July 12 — if it is finished in time. And it will be the centre piece of a book by Reynolds called Heroes And Villains.

Pete will feature in the bad boys section — what a surprise.

Reynolds insists he came up with the idea a long time ago and it has taken three years to come to fruition.

But unfortunately Pete looks more like Han Solo when he is in his carbon coffin in Jabba’s Palace in Star Wars than Michaelangelo’s David.

Reynolds revealed: “I was quite pally with MICHAEL HUTCHENCE and PAULA YATES and their love affair — like Pete and KATE’s (MOSS) — went a bit sour. The negative Press put a downward spiral on them.

“And when I saw the Press that Pete was getting, it made me think of them.

“I saw the same pattern. As if Pete was being crucified by the Press.”

Whatever you say, pal.

He’s broke, banged up in jail and now Pete Doherty has been kicked out of his house after spraying blood all over the walls.

The jailed junkie is thousands of pounds in debt. Now he has been evicted from his sprawling nine-bedroom mansion after wrecking the place over the past year.

Popping over to check on the place the landlord was horrified to find that his beautiful country pad had become a stinking hovel.

The walls, floor and even some of the windows have been daubed with human blood.

And we’re told the stench from his abandoned nine cats is so strong it would turn the strongest stomach.

After taking one look at the carnage, the landlord cancelled Doherty’s tenancy.

A close source says: “Pete is homeless, broke and owes thousands to dealers. He destroyed the place by scribbling on the walls, the floor, anywhere he felt like it.

“The beautiful heavy curtains were ripped down and the cats are just running around abandoned. It’s a really pathetic state of affairs..

“No one in their right mind is going to rent him a property after what he did.” The junkie has been receiving threats from out-of-pocket dealers while he’s been inside Wormwood Scrubs, and things aren’t going to get any better for him when he’s released next month.

While he’s been banged up his dodgy mates have been round to the Wiltshire mansion to help themselves to Pete’s things in the hope of making back some of the money he owes them.

Luckily for Pete there is one person backing his corner.. Stefano Passantino, founder of Lastseason.com has set up a Pete Doherty Welfare Fund to get him back on his feet when he leaves jail.

Earlier this year Stefano offered penniless Pete £5,000 for a one-day photo shoot for his clothing website.

But negotiations broke down after Pete’s greedy agent demanded £30,000 as a starting price.

But with Pete now at rock bottom it has brought the charidee out in Stefano and he is raising money from sales of stripy convict tops on his site for the dirty druggie.

He explains: “I’m a huge fan who wants to see this gifted bloke given every chance to get back on his feet.

“I want to see Pete performing and writing new material for years to come.

“I’ll do what I can to help Pete leave the bad stuff behind him. I’ll give him a job, feed him, clothe him – but I won’t wash him, that’s asking too much.” Way, Way too much.

We wouldn’t touch that skank with a bargepole..

Troubled Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty was finally sent to jail today for breaking his probation order.

He was taken from West London Magistrates’ Court and locked up for 14 weeks following a 30 minute hearing this afternoon.

Doherty was jailed for ‘his breach of time keeping, non compliance of his order and using different drugs’, a spokesperson from the court confirmed.

Back in October, Judge Davinder Lachar cleared Doherty from the remainder of a drug control order but handed him his suspended jail sentence for drug and motoring offences.

The 29-year-old was given a four-month custodial sentence, suspended for two years.

On that occasion he handed an 18-month supervision order and a 12-month drug rehabilitation order.

Lachar ordered he pay a £400 fine for an driving without insurance and a £75 fine for having no MOT certificate.

Commenting on his sentence, an EMI spokesman said: ‘Unfortunately Peter has had to postpone his show at the Royal Albert Hall on April 26th.

‘The show is due to be rescheduled and all tickets will be valid for the new date once it has been announced.

‘Peter was very much looking forward to the show and would like to offer his sincerest apologies to all his fans and to all those concerned.’

Supermodel Kate Moss is pulling out the big guns in an attempt to gag ex Pete Doherty. A source tells PageSix.com that the Babyshambles rocker, who is in negotiations to feature in a Brit TV documentary called Kate & Pete: A Love Story, should expect a call from Kate’s lawyers.
“Kate is furious with Pete over the whole thing. She has contacted her lawyers and plans to get an injunction to stop the production,” the insider says.

Though plans for the documentary on the former couple’s stormy two-year relationship are not finalized, the source tells us it would hit small screens in the U.K. sometime in January.

A network insider revealed, “If Kate does try to gag Pete it will come as a great blow to the production. Hopefully we can work something out with Kate and her lawyers.”

It will also come as a blow to Pete’s bank account. The source says that if the deal goes through it could net the troubled rocker more than a million dollars on worldwide sales.

One million dollars? That’s a lot of fedoras!

That didn’t take long! It was just last week that Pete Doherty was at the MTV European Music Awards bragging that he is clean and now there is new video footage of the junkie injecting himself with heroin.

Someone shot Doherty using a cell phone sitting on the floor holding a needle in his mouth. After looking into the camera, he starts ‘cooking up’ what looks to be heroin and fills the syringe.

He then injects the drugs into his right tattooed arm and he slumps forward as the drugs start to kick in.

A source tells The Sun, “It’s not the first time he’s injected since he was supposed to have gone clean.

“He may have got clean through rehab, but as soon as the temptation is put in front of him, he cannot help himself. It’s so sad to see. He’s been given so many chances and so many fresh starts and he just throws them all away.”

The video was reportedly filmed right after he got back from the MTV European Music Awards in Germany.

Why do people still insist on helping this guy? He is a lost cause!

Pete Doherty’s pet cat has been found to have traces of cocaine in its blood stream after being taken in for observation by vets, say reports.

The Babyshambles star owns a cat named Dinger, a slang word for syringe, which recently gave birth to a litter of five kittens.

One of the litter became ill and the singer was forced to take the kitten into the vet for tests, where the drug revelation was discovered.

An RSPCA spokesman told the Daily Star: “It is a police matter, so we cannot deny or confirm the identity of the man who had this kitten removed. But it is very important to protect animals from substances that can do them serious harm.”

Singer Pete Doherty was arrested early on Monday on suspicion of drugs possession, a police source said.

Doherty, 28, was arrested with two others, a man and a woman, after being stopped in a car in Tower Hamlets in east London.

The troubled singer, who has had an on-off relationship with supermodel Kate Moss, had been performing with his band Babyshambles at the V Festival in Staffordshire late on Sunday.

All three were taken to an east London police station where they remain in custody.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “At 2:30 a.m. officers in Tower Hamlets arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of possessing drugs.”

Doherty was warned by a magistrate earlier this month he faced a prison sentence if he failed to demonstrate he was trying to kick his drugs habit.

The singer pleaded guilty in July to possessing crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine.

Pete Doherty Signs Copies of his Book “The Books of Albion”

If TomKat makes you nauseous and Brangelina feels overexposed, the grittier brand Moherty – launched by Kate Moss and Pete Doherty with a his ‘n’ hers ad campaign – could be just the antidote.

The grubby but glamorous British couple have filmed a commercial for Italian luxury fashion designer Roberto Cavalli on the sunkissed sands of Ibiza. In it, the world’s most beautiful woman is locked in a passionate clinch with rock’n'roll’s most notorious drug addict.

Kate and Pete’s turn for Cavalli is the strongest signal yet that the pair are turning their relationship into a commercial venture – a marketing superpower for the under-40s that is already being labelled Brand Moherty.

Moss already had her own logo and is well on the way to becoming a brand in her own right, with a clothes range at Top Shop and a Kate Moss fragrance due out later this year. Doherty has moonlighted in modelling.

Moss, in turn, has infiltrated his music. His song KP Nuts is about their relationship.

Doherty posted a home video on the internet of him serenading her at their Cotswolds home. Moss coquettishly kicks him, smokes a fag and eventually wiggles out of the room in a see-through dress.

Moss has also duetted with him on the Babyshambles song La Belle et la Bete – after the pair performed the track live at a recent London gig, Moss was seen dangling precariously upside down from a backstage window, a stunt that can only reaffirm brand Moherty’s chicly dangerous credentials.

Sexy, glamorous, bohemian, dangerous and a little grotty, brand Moherty is – like all things associated with Kate and Pete – an unpredictable entity. Even its advent on Ibiza was a last-minute thing. Cavalli had originally booked only Moss for the shoot.

“It happened quite casually. Pete was with Kate when she came to Ibiza for the shoot. I was immediately struck by the intensity and freedom of their relationship,” the designer says.

He saw beyond the touchy-feely romance to the marketing potential of the relationship.

“Kate brings beauty, intensity and personality and a hippie spirit that’s perfectly in tune with my collection,” he says.

“Pete is a dreamer and a rebel and not keen on compromises. He’s authentic and spontaneous and oozes a new, unexpected brand of sensuality. I think he is perfectly in sync with the spirit of the Cavalli man.”

And perhaps he is, if you overlook the fact that he’s as pasty as an Inuit’s bum and has the filthiest fingernails in rock.

Given the proven combined power of two big celebrities – witness Brand Beckham, which channels Victoria and David’s glitzy appeal into perfumes, sunglasses, jeans and perfumes – you wonder why Moherty didn’t become a commercial force earlier.

With what the couple already do for vodka, cigarettes and pork-pie hats, imagine what brand Moherty could do for accountancy or the Church of England.
