What's Doherty up to?
Mr Doherty and the Spaceship
Another day, another celebrity renounces their previous misdemeanours and finds solace in the warm, forgiving arms of religion. Whether you have previously hoovered coke from the arms of small children, beaten old ladies about the head with bottles of Gin or even if you have kicked to death every animal in a petting zoo during an outing for young people with heart conditions; it seems as long as you can find a bit of faith, you can be forgiven for almost anything.
Following the lead from the increasingly odd Tom Cruise and John Travolta, our little Pete Doherty is reportedly the latest celebrity recruit into Scientology. Apparently encouraged by new girlfriend and follower, DJ Nadine Ruddy, Pete has been spotted buying books about the belief system in a bid to better himself.
Although Scientology is espied with suspicion - probably something to do with the talk of aliens and spacecraft - Pete is bound to enjoy a little let up from the press for finding a belief structure. Entertainment editors across the land will be nodding in agreement, proclaiming: "Yes, he was starting to make Motley Crue look like The Osmonds, but at last he is making an effort" and ease up on the poor boy. It is only a matter of time before Doherty is applauded as a hero, a man of the people and all that nasty business about drugs will be forgotten.
And it is only a matter of time before Britney and Winehouse follow suit. A move courtesy of their PR people, of course
