Our favorite dirty crackhead, Babyshambles frontman, and Amy Winehouse's male doppleganger, Pete Doherty has been arrested and jailed for failing to show up on time for hearings related to his probation on drugs charges.

Doherty had been given a suspended jail sentence for possession of drugs and driving illegally in October last year. His supervision order required him to make regular visits to court for progress reports, as well as take part in a drug rehabilitation programme. He was threatened with up to four months in jail if he broke the law during this period.

Do crackheads even own watches? And honestly, what do they expect a reprobate like Doherty to do? Not indulge in illicit drugs? Not be too cracked out to show up on time? Man, for every Lindsay Lohan we have here in the states, there's like ten Pete Dohertys over in the UK. God Save The QUEEN!

The worse news in all this, besides Pete's cat going into crack withdrawals while he's is lockdown, is he may miss a show at the Royal Albert Hall on April 26. So, how many holes does it take to fill that place anyway?

Fortunately, Pete's label has his back and issued this statement to fans who bought tickets to the April 26th show:

Parlophone, explained the solo show will be postponed but it "is due to be rescheduled and all tickets will be valid for the new date once it has been announced. Peter was very much looking forward to the show and would like to offer his sincerest apologies to all his fans and all those concerned".

There should be disclaimers on all tickets sold to Pete and Amy shows which stipulate there's only a 10% chance they will actually show up, and .0005% they won't be to jacked to play.
