<![CDATA[Defamer: Pete Doherty]]> http://cache.gawker.com/assets/base/img/thumbs140x140/defamer.com.png <![CDATA[Defamer: Pete Doherty]]> http://defamer.com/tag/pete doherty http://defamer.com/tag/pete doherty <![CDATA[ Not Even Public Display Of Baldness Can Remove Kate Moss From Chic Pedestal ]]> By some rare stroke of British luck, original waif Kate Moss was born with a very superheroine-esque capability: no matter what she does, from the beautiful to the grotesque to the illegal, the act will somehow wind up looking chic. Remember, this is the girl who bent over a dirty mirror to snort crusty Peruvian paint thinner in hellaciously grungy Pete Doherty’s drug den on a grainy, shaky camera and managed to make the whole thing appear "alluring" (Slate), and “glamorous” (CNN.com). Today’s case in point? Leaving the afterparty for her new fragrance launch in Berlin the other night, the supermodel’s outwardly voluminous blonde glossy hair began to fall out. Right on the red carpet. For all to see. Pictures, and why the mishap will soon be the “thing to do” on every red carpet in the future, after the jump.

As the Daily Mail reports, Moss was on her way back to her hotel after a night of celebrating Velvet Hour, her new fragrance which presumably smells like a floral mix of baby powder, laxatives and regret, as one silky hair extension broke free and landed (in a very photo spread-worthy fashion, actually) right on the red carpet outside the party. Though Moss didn't appear to care, distracted by bouts of nose-swiping instead, a paparazzo took it upon himself to grab the fake golden locks and we expect to see the flawless token on auction sites any second. Should this have happened to say, Britney Spears or Paris Hilton last night, the hair piece would maybe rack up a decent hundred bucks or so, but this is Cocaine Kate! There might even be a few snortable crystals in the threads! We predict the bidding to begin at a few thousand euros at the very least. And in a late-night state of self-degradation, Britney may even find herself the lucky winner.

<![CDATA[ Please Give A Warm Welcome To The Newest Celebrity Scientologist, Mr. Pete Doherty ]]> doherty.jpgHaving (so far) failed to entice British power duo Posh 'n Becks into their ever-growing nest of celebrity Scientologists, Tom Cruise and Co. have apparently decided that their next best approach to conquering Great Britain is to aim a few notches lower on the celebrity totem pole. The Sun is reporting that 2007 tabloid fixture Pete Doherty is "is hooked on the barmy religion which believes humans are an exiled race from outer space" [Ed. Note - Barmy?] and that he "has bought a pile of books on the subject" ever since falling into the sack with a Scientologist DJ (presumably not Danny Masterson, but you never know). But if we were running the CoS, we'd be a wee bit nervous about inducting Doherty into the clan; despite having killed more brain cells than Ozzy Osbourne, Pete's not exactly the kind of guy one should entrust with keeping secrets.

As some of you may recall, after Kate Moss finally and triumphantly dumped Pete after one too many caught-on-camera drug/sex/rock 'n roll escapades, he poured his barely pumping heart out to the UK tabs, revealing everything under the sun about their sex life and all the bad behavior she'd allegedly engaged in while they were dating. With that in mind, we have all of our fingers and toes crossed that Doherty manages to weasel his way into the church. We would be ecstatic if Doherty reached OT-VIII, only to fall off the wagon and turn back to the white lady, which would undoubtedly lead him to divulge just about everything that's been going on inside the House of Hubbard for a dimebag of skunkweed. Go forth, Pete, and come back with some great stories. We support you!

<![CDATA[ Is Kate Moss' Newest Boy Toy Just Pete Doherty 2.0? ]]> kate1thumb.jpgSad news for Kate Moss-aholics out there: the controversially hot-or-not former supermodel is engaged to another dirty-looking rocker, Jamie Hince, guitarist for The Kills. Judging by her former paramours, like Johnny Depp, Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando and our all-time favorite kitten-loving junkie, Pete Doherty, it's no surprise that W's April cover girl has fallen for another rough-around-the-edges bad boy. But must he look like such an eerie cross-breed of Pete and Amy Winehouse's Romeo, Blake Fielder-Civil? And more importantly, why does Kate insist on slobbering all over his neck? More pictures of the two new lovebirds, and what the notoriously vicious British tabloids have deemed Kate's vampire-like behavior, after the jump.

News broke of Moss and Hince's engagement in October, and while a date has yet to be set, the lovebirds have been spotted in How Dare You! paparazzi photos recently, as Moss feigns shock and disgust upon spotting shutterbugs capturing her unbridled love on camera. First, the two were caught dining outdoors in full view of passersby...

And then paps saw the (shocked and annoyed!) pair out and about on the streets of London at night, seemingly in the middle of an argument. We suspect Jamie was taunting Kate for wearing that same damn fur coat she used to swish around with during her Petey days...

And finally, the "vampire" photo in question, which, in our humble and not so modest opinion, looks like an innocent slip of the tongue on what most women's magazines will have you know is an "erotic zone" or some such rubbish like that. But can Kate's impressive tongue, drama-filled street fights and erratic choice in boyfriends really result in a fairy tale come true this time? We'll be keeping our ears peeled in between practicing Kate's oral maneuver on various aghast randos this week:

<![CDATA[ The United Nations Turns Its Attention From Silly Issues Like War And Famine To Focus On 'Glamorized' Celebrity Drug Use ]]> petedohertyface.jpgForget Darfur, Iraq and figuring out that whole peace in the Middle East messiness; the UN is currently most concerned with figuring out why the kiddies love crackheads and drunks like Pete Doherty and Lindsay Lohan so damn much! According to the NY Daily News, a United Nations narcotics committee thinks that "Celebrities are often involved in illicit drug trafficking or in illicit drug use and this is glamorized." Oh the glamour of it all. After all, nothing makes us want to hit the pipe harder than seeing Pete Doherty smoke down with his kitten. And we've never wanted a drink so badly until we saw those positively French Vogue-worthy images of Lindsay double-fisting shots. We have a feeling you'll feel the "glamour" of it all racing through your soon-to-be-poisoned veins after taking a look at our gallery of the best moments in downright gorgeous coke-nosed, passed-out, nodding-off celebrity history:

Pete likes a touch of everything, but he looks most glamorous after being punched in the eye, drenched in sweat, and about to fatally fall to the stage in a fit of speedball-influenced seizures, or even more glamorous, share his crack with kitties:

Amy Winehouse's teeth really inspire us to start smoking the hard stuff, and that look of happiness on her face after visibly stuffing white dust up her right nostril is enough to make us move to Colombia and call it a life:

And finally, our favorite former drunk and all-around narcotics nutbag of love, Lindsay Lohan, whose gorgeous mug utterly emulates glamour in all possible ways:
