We often receive emails (some nicer than others) that inquire what “this strange fascination” with Pete Doherty is all about. Unfortunately, no immediate answer to that question exists. However, let’s kick off this shindig of a discussion with a tantalizing tidbit from Holy Moly:

Pete Doherty gets so wasted when taking heroin that he thinks he has glass under his skin (apparently it’s a common side effect). He then gouges chunks of his skin out to try and remove it. A mole tells us that he has a hole in his foot that is now so large that he no longer needs to use a needle to get a hit as it just goes in like a dream.

With that in mind, we’ll quickly move onto a dispatch from Flea, who alerted us to a Dior advert that features male model Jamie Dornan and music by Pete Doherty & Wolfman (yes, this guy). Also enclosed was a mini-revelation from Flea:

Ok, now I get it. He has a great voice. The rest of it is what they overlook because they know the real him through his music. God what a scam.

Flea, being a clever fellow, has partially nailed it. However, I shall admit that I do hope the puzzle is never entirely solved, or else there will be no more need for Doherty posts. That would be a sad day, mates.

However, the aforementioned Dior advert has caused me to realize that if the KLF were to reinvent Pete Doherty, they may want to use a guy that looks a lot like Jamie Dornan. Then again, that would defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it? Video can be found below:

Nick (Bollea) Hogan’s attorneys requested that the courts allow him to be released from solitary confinement in which he spends 16-17 hours a day.

They’re playing the cruel and unusual punishment card.

“Understandably, this situation creates an unbearable anxiety for a minor in solitary confinement,” his attorneys claim in court papers.

Nick’s legal team is trying to persuade the courts that Nick is being subjected to “substantial amounts to cruel and unusual punishment for a juvenile.” Court documents go on to say that Nick’s sentence, “is not warranted for a non-violent first offender serving a probation sentence.”

His attorneys want him to be transfered to either home confinement or to be released to the minimum security area in the jail, which apparently “is not equipped for juveniles.”

That sounds like one hell of a gamble to me. You can be assured that the legal team is trying to get him back home, but what if he gets minimum security instead? Wouldn’t he be at risk?

Probably not, now that I think about it. People in jail are generally morons, and they tend to get star struck too. Now if he was a sexual predator that would be out of the question. Instead, he merely caused his best friend’s head to get dented in like a dollar store Barbie. Apparently not worthy of solitary confinement.

UPDATE: TMZ just obtained court documents [PDF file] stating Bollea’s defenses in this case.

Nick’s family blame everyone under the sun, except Nick, for the accident.  In Nick’s defense, attorneys claim that John, a legal adult, could have opted to not enter the vehicle if he thought Nick was driving unsafe.  For the same reason they say he had multiple opportunities to exit the vehicle at one of many street lights they encountered.  Also, John chose to not wear a seatbelt and that if he had, he wouldn’t have sustained injuries to the extent that he did.

Lastly, they go onto say that the driver of the other vehicle, also an adult, should have equal responsibility as Nick in this case.

The one thing they state over and over is that Nick is a minor and that any actions he may have taken should have been supervised by John and the other driver.  So basically, it’s their faults for allowing him to drive like a moron.

Hardly shocking.

Oscar-winning actress Tatum O’Neal was arrested Sunday and charged with possession of a controlled substance when cops witnessed her trying to buy crack cocaine. According to the NY Daily News

The 44-year-old O’Neal initially told cops she was “doing research for a part,” a police source said. When cops searched her and found two bags of drugs - one with crack, one with regular cocaine - and an unused crack pipe, she changed her story, sources said.

“I’ve been clean for a long time,” the teary-eyed actress pleaded as she asked cops to give her a break, sources said. “Today was the first time I was relapsing, but you guys saved me! Can you let me go?”

“Researching a part” is perhaps the most brilliant excuse I’ve ever heard. And applicable on so many levels, too! Like, “I’m not a compulsive overeater; I’m researching the part of Britney Spears.” Or, “I’m not maniacally promiscuous; I’m just researching the part of Paris Hilton.” And “I’m not luring children up to my apartment to feed off their souls; I’m researching the part of Dina Lohan.” The possibilities are practically endless!

Will Smith and Tom Cruise were both present and accounted for at last evenings 2008 MTV Movie Awards. However, one would be hard pressed to find a photo of these two together during the entire schbang. Has the bromance cooled so quickly? Nah… I’d guess that some studio head is likely just concerned about the Scientology curse and its potential effect on the box office receipts for Smith’s impending Hancock film. So, how exactly does one avoid Tom Cruise?

1. Hang with the cool kids & hope Jason Bateman can negate The Cruise Effect:

…

2. Bring your own short guy to the event, so Katie Holmes can keep her own.

…

3. Stand next to someone who will protect you — Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson:

…

… and if all else fails …

4. Do an unflattering imitation of Tom Cruise himself. Then, get jiggy with it.

Actors Seth Rogen and James Franco made a big stink last night when they “pretended” to spark up a doobie on stage at the MTV Movie Awards. Seth and James claimed the fake J they shared was provided by MTV as part of a skit to announce the Best Summer Movie So Far category. The NY Daily News says

Before TV audiences could see them smoking, the cameras pulled to an extremely wide angle, and stayed that way until Rogen and Franco left the stage. “Kids, don’t really smoke fake weed like this,” Rogen told the crowd. Despite Rogen’s claim, the sweet scent wafting through the Gibson Amphitheatre suggested the herb was real.

MTV officials declined to comment on the dope-smoking stunt.

I see we’ve applied to the Howard Stern school of thought, where “shock value” magically equals “funny and cutting edge.” Instead of pretending to smoke pot, Seth and James should have maybe tried have pretending to kill themselves instead. At least that might have actually been funny. Especially if there was a man in a bee costume who shrugged his shoulders and blurted, “Que idiotas!” before being hit in the groin with a football. 100 million Mexicans can’t be wrong!

Senator Ted Kennedy is undergoing bran surgery this morning at Duke University Medical Center in Durham N.C.

Doctors are hoping to remove the malignant glioma tumor in his brain. Unfortunately, in most cases the growth is fatal, even after treatment.

Kennedy released the following statement,

“I am deeply grateful to the people of Massachusetts and to my friends, colleagues and so many others across the country and around the world who have expressed their support and good wishes as I tackle this new and unexpected health challenge. I am humbled by the outpouring and am strengthened by your prayers and kindness. I look forward to returning to the United States Senate and to doing everything I can to help elect Barack Obama as our next president.”

Kennedy expects to remain at the hospital for about a week before heading back to Boston where he will receive chemotherapy and radiation for a period of at least one month.

Tatum O’Neal, 44, was arrested in New York last night after she was spotted handing a drug dealer cash in exchange for drugs.

O’Neal is no stranger to drug use, she’s admitted in the past to using cocaine and even heroin. However, in her 2004 memoir, A Paper Life, she claimed she had been clean since completing rehab in 1996.

O’Neal was arrested at 7:30 p.m. Sunday after trying to buy crack from a 33-year-old man, who was also arrested. Police found cocaine and crack on her, along with an unused crack pipe.

She spent the night in jail and has been charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Tatum begged police to let her go, “You know who I am, right?”, she said. She claimed to be doing research for a role, “I’m doing this for a part as a junkie.” Bitch has enough experience as a junkie, she doesn’t need to research!

Anyhow, after that tactic didn’t work she simply asked, “Can’t we just forget about this?”

Tatum’s mother, actress Joanna Moore, abandoned her when she was a kid. Her mother was also a well known drug abuser. She died in 1997 at the age of 63, from lung cancer.

Jessica Alba has always given us primo bikini pictures in the past but these cancel all of those out.  Pregnant women in bikinis are creepy.  I don’t care if they were sexy when they weren’t knocked up, that huge belly ruins it.  Maybe it’s natural and beautiful, but I’m not a hippie.  I’m a man.  A man who likes broads with flat stomachs and big boobs.  A huge pregnant belly doesn’t fall into any of those categories.

Christina Aguilera at the LAX Nightclub in Las Vegas on May 31st, looking like her usual clown-faced self.

Her boobs are too big! She used to have such a cute little petite frame. Those massive funbags don’t help her look any smaller after having her first child.  Maybe that’s why she always has a coat on over her dresses these days. But she still likes to showcase those bad boys!
