According to
The Sun,
Pete Doherty is going up in the world and despite only making a profit of £29k last year has turned down a
modelling job that didn't meet his
£30,000 price tag. WTF?
Budget fashion company Lastseason.com apparently contacted the druggy Michelin man to offer him £5,000 to appear in their new campaign after they heard he was skint, but were informed that Doherty would require a "bare minimum" of thirty grand. Thirty fucking grand for a day's work!
A spokesman for Lastseason said:
"When they said £30,000 I nearly had a heart attack. Who does he think he is, Claudia Schiffer?
"I thought Pete could do with a day's work for what would be good money by anyone's standards. He is just not worth that much."
OK, so we think we've worked this one out. Glossing over the fact that a company would want this over-exposed, bloated cadaver of a talent vacuum stinking up their marketing plans, or the fact that they may have been simply doing it for the free publicity when he inevitably turned their scabby brand down, we think we may have spotted a simple misunderstanding...
It wasn't thirty grand he was after, but thirty
grams.
