Road to ruin: Doherty living under the Westway

We try to keep our Pete Doherty coverage to a minimum here at DiS news, but we feel it's ok to broaden our remit on this occasion. The former Libertine is living in a caravan under the Westway, apparently.

The change of address comes after the addict fled from Kate Moss' posh North London town-house for cheating with a South African model everyone's calling 'Lindy'.

Pete, though, claims it's he that initiated the split: "It's like living with a f*cking stalker."

Assuming that Moss is a regular patron of DiS, this report has probably given the boy's game away. Sorry Pete.

After a court hearing the other day, to which Doherty turned up so late a warrant was issued for his arrest, reporters followed the scamp back to a campsite under the west London dual carriageway. "I live here now," explained Doherty, as a gaggle of scrawny hens battled for grain around his feet and naked children tried to evade a pack of stray dogs.

The judge in Doherty's current prosecution ordered him to attend detox in Harrogate, Yorkshire and get off the horse. If he doesn't, she warned, "I can tell you now that you will go into custody”.

Reports suggest that Doherty can't be that hard-up, however - news reaches us that Al Youthmovies girlfriend's attempts to buy him a 'bag' were scuppered by an interception from the floppy-cheeked one.

Cheeky! The bag may have been full of drugs or bombs*. Possibly. After living in its shadow, perhaps Doherty has finally snapped and is looking to wreak vengeance on the way of the West.

* = foundationless conjecture


with all he's supposed to take...

I'm quite surprised he still has the strenght to cheat on his girlfriend...


bf

you've imagined what 'it' looks like, haven't you lyle.

You can come back from that dark, small, wrinkled place


?

you lost me somewhere...


Cute

Baby-fat cheeks though! He looks like a little black plague ridden baby!


He'll be even more broke soon

Once he starts playing gigs in smoke-free venues. He'll be fined everywhere he goes.


he just

doesn't seem to exist on any kind of rational planet, does he?
mind, if i was stuck with that stinky bint kate moss, i'd be cheating on her too, so, yeah


Westway

I'm guessing this is a move of convenience... surely there are plenty of dealers operating under the Westway? Also, if he's in a caravan, all he needs is someone to alert him that the cops are on their way round and he can make a getaway. That would be cracking TV, an OJ Simpson-style police chase, with Doherty "screaming" up the M40 in a campervan!


asleep

i heard a story recently that doherty was recording new stuff with a fairly well known producer. nothing was happening so the producer strode over and put a guitar around doherty's neck and said play. by the time he'd got back to the desk to set it to record doherty was still stood there but he was asleep.


how long

until the ignorant tosser ends up sleeping on a bench in Hyde Park or something?


Amazing

So can we stop calling him a musician now?


Is this a wind up ?

If not how weird ! They were all kissey kissey at Glasto.


Sorry...

But what is the westway? I don't live in London you see, and rarely open my front door anyway...


I'm sure, in some way

he's identified some kind of Romantic link with The Clash in his new location.


rubbish

at oxegen, no tunes whatsoever.
