Pete banned from seeing son? - Nov 28 2006
It seems Pete Doherty is in trouble once again.
It’s been reported the Babyshambles singer might not be allowed to spend Christmas with his three-year-old son, Astile, his child with singer Lisa Moorish.
DJ Lisa was said to be furious with Pete after he was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs earlier this month, sources told the Daily Mail.
She has apparently vowed to ban the rocker from seeing his son until he sorts out his behaviour.
"She [Lisa] has warned him to clean up his act or he won’t be spending Christmas with his son," an insider told the paper.
"She sees it as the ultimate punishment for Pete."
Pete, 27, was arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs and released on bail earlier this month.
Two other occupants of the car Pete was driving at the time were also arrested on suspicion of drug possession.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said all three were released from Bethnal Green police station pending analysis of "substances recovered".
They must return in December.
Pete Doherty bailed on drug charges - Nov 19 2006
Pop singer Pete Doherty has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of possessing crack cocaine, police said.
The Babyshambles singer was held by police after officers saw him driving his Jaguar erratically near his home in east London.
As well as the 27-year-old star, two other occupants of the car were also arrested on suspicion of drug possession.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said all three were released from Bethnal Green police station pending analysis of "substances recovered". They must return in December.
The arrest is the latest minor chapter in the life of Doherty, the on-off boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss.
Doherty’s battle with drug addiction has been lived in the public eye through countless newspaper reports.
He has repeatedly sought treatment for his addiction at the renowned Priory, in west London, as well as clinics in France, Portugal and Thailand.
He was fined £750 earlier this month for assaulting Radio 1 reporter Trudi Barber outside Thames Magistrates’ Court.
Pete: I was hit by camera - Oct 25 2006
Troubled rock star Pete Doherty has denied starting a fight with a photographer after a concert with his band Babyshambles in Rome.
London’s Evening Standard newspaper reported that Doherty was involved in a brawl with an Italian photographer outside his hotel.
One witness said Pete’s head was "dripping with blood".
Police were not called and Doherty was treated by fans and band members, while the photographer was said to have gone to hospital for treatment.
A spokesman for the former Libertine has released a statement denying the allegations and said the singer had been hit with a camera.
"Pete Doherty totally denies that he instigated a fight with a photographer in Rome," the statement said.
"Reports that the photographer might make an official complaint will certainly interest Pete’s lawyers, who can call on witnesses who clearly saw Pete being hit with a camera outside his hotel."
Earlier in the night Pete reportedly brandished a microphone stand at fans in the front row of the concert by his band Babyshambles in Rome.
Italian newspaper the Corriere della Sera described how the 27-year-old star clashed with fans at the famous Piper club.

A long and drawn out battle with drugs, an especially fiery relationship with Croydon’s favourite daughter and any number of bust ups and arrests has made the singer/songwriter one of Britain’s most recognisable faces (all be it a screwed up, sweaty zombie face).
Born on March 12 1979 in Hexham, Northumberland and living at various times in Liverpool, Shepherd’s Bush, Coventry, Dorset, Cyprus and Russia, Pete Doherty first came to the public’s attention as one half of the singing songwriting duo who fronted Britain’s must see band, The Libertines, who kick started the country’s new garage rock scene in 2002/03.
Debauched backstage shenanigans and frantic but brilliant shows saw The Libertines hit the headlines time and time again and their debut album, Up The Bracket, shot up the charts. However, the band’s success was to be short lived and numerous problems, between Pete and the rest of the band (specifically with best friend Carl Barat - the pair met when they became flatmates in Stoke Newington) saw them part ways but not before Pete hit the headlines for drink and drug problems which caused him to steal from his bandmates to feed his habit.
It was around this time that Lisa Moorish gave birth to Doherty’s child, Astile but, rather than settling down Pete carried on taking heroin, selling his ’My Drug Hell’ stories to any and every tabloid to pay for his out of control habit before being put in to several rehab clinics (including a Thai monastery), none of which have changed his ways.
Nonetheless he has managed to forge a career on his own, first working with Wolfman on For Lovers then forming Babyshambles, initially as a way to make money for.you guessed it! Now trying to get clean with the aid of Naltroxene after an arrest for assault, which resulted in some jail time as well as a curfew and constant supervision Pete is reportedly set to marry supermodel Kate Moss.
