After his break up with Irina Needafix, Pete Doherty is waking up alone in his blood-soaked bed, lying there pale, puffy and gently sweating like a slug in a sheltered bin, wondering where his next fix of publicity will come from. Jade Goody, Jordan, Kerry Katona and Jodie Marsh are all blissfully married, so where will his next headline-seeking partner come from?
Or maybe they've already met, got along famously and have recreated the scene from 'Jaws' by comparing their track marks? Shuffle forward Courtney Love, so that Pete may lay his head upon that grimy, grotty chest. An un-named insider said:
"He was bowled over - smitten in fact. Pete thinks she's a sex symbol and icon after going through so much herself. He hopes to spend a lot more time with her over the next few months and even says he wants new experiences with her."
New experiences? Feel free to shudder at any point.
"Pete hopes to play at the MTV Europe Awards later this week and says he wants Courtney by his side in Munich."
Good luck to the golden couple with the golden arms. After all, Courtney's already seen off one over-rated 'Doomed poet of his generation' (no, not Steve Coogan). Here's to some really enjoyable headlines about Pete 'shooting up' for real.
Watch out for live Holy Moly updates from the MTV awards on Thursday.
