In Which Pete And Kate Decide To Get Married And Pete Tells Of His Former Life As A Rent Boy

It is indeed a difficult position in which Pete Doherty finds himself. On the one hand he cannot possibly forsake the lovely Kate Moss. On the other, what would a young soldier such as Pete do with marriage? Yet marriage it is to be, as Pete announced this week following the news that his robbery and blackmail charges were dropped last week:

"Now the charges have been dropped we can finally look to the future. At one point it was looking like we were going to have to rush things but now I'm not going to jail we can do it properly. I love Kate and she loves me. We are looking at the summer and have a date in mind. We want it to be a day to remember. It will be something simple, with the emphasis on the party afterwards."

Ah, the joy which Pete shall bring to the Moss household, especially when they learn of Pete's former ways in his new biography KIDS IN THE RIOT: HIGH AND LOW WITH THE LIBERTINES, in which he tells of working as a homosexual prostitute and drug dealer to satisfy his drug habit before he and Carl landed on the front of the NME. In the book, Pete says:

"I was working in a bar, selling drugs, working on a building site, writing poetry in the graveyard shift at The King's Head - and I was wanking off old queens for like GBP20. I remember once being taken back to this mews house in Chelsea, right old fucking badger he was. It was a bit daft actually. As he slept, I locked him in his room, tied a pair of trousers over his head and nicked all these American dollar bills out of his drawer. He's probably still there, with an erection, listening to CLASSIC FM radio."

Yes. Yes. There is nothing more to explain, dear Pete, for when one is newly betrothed, one may find other uses for one's lips.
