Pete Doherty and Kate Moss: Monkey See, Monkey Do.
Â
For years, Kate Moss and Pete Doherty were on again, off again, on again, off again. They rocked together, drugged together, did horrible videos together, and generally screwed up each others lives whether they were a couple or not. Stints in rehab, threats of jail, overdoses, nothing could keep these two apart.
Until recently. Kate, tired of the drama, took up with another guy, rocker Jamie Hince, and Pete trotted down the road to rehab, a path worn bare by his continual and repeated trips there. Now, there is news that Pete is clean and has become engaged to his new bird, model Irina Lazareanu.
Thing is, they became engaged only after model Kate announced her own "engagement" to her new man. [cue dramatic music]
And get this....not only has Irina been involved off and on with Pete's band Babyshambles for ten years, but Irina was personally chosen by Kate to model for her new clothing line TopShop, and Kate chose her to model for the December/January issue of Vogue: Paris. In other words, Kate was instrumental in helping Irina rise to stardom. What better girl for Pete to take up with than someone like that!
There is a fundamental difference between the two betrothals, however. When Irina told her friends about her engagement, she showed off a huge engagement ring. When Kate announced her "engagement" to Jamie, friends say that it is not a typical engagement, with an offer of marriage. Rather, it was a message to Pete:
But with no ring evident, friends said it was just her way of letting Pete know that she was serious about Hince, and to make it clear that he is officially her new man.
There isn't enough bandwidth (and this article is too long now) to go through all the stuff that these two have done. Suffice it to say that they are each other's worst enemy, feeding off one another, bringing each other's worst attributes to the surface, and probably had much to do with the drug use of both. Pete himself has admitted that being with Kate drives him crazy: Continued on the next page
