Pete leans on Lisa? - Feb 12 2007
It seems Pete Doherty has been seen crying on the shoulder of his ex Lisa Moorish after yet another row with Kate.
The 27-year-old Babyshambles frontman has a three-year-old son with Lisa and says if it wasn’t for her he wouldn’t still be alive.
His cry for help comes after a series of rows with his supermodel girlfriend - who has said she just wants to be friends with him, reports The Daily Star.
A source said: "Pete is seriously gutted that Kate has decided she only wants to be chums with him from now on.
"He has turned to the people closest to him and one of them is Lisa.
"She has brought up their son Astile to be an amazing little fella and Pete looks up to Lisa with much respect.
"He has admitted that without friends like Lisa he doubts he’d be alive. He has called her several times and told her he doesn’t think he can ever get over Kate."
Pete banned from Brits? - Feb 8 2007
Kate Moss may be one of the most beautiful celebrities in the world but apparently she still has insecurities when it comes to her man.
It seems the model has banned Pete Doherty from attending the Brit Awards because she’s jealous of his friendship with Lily Allen, reports the Daily Mirror.
And she apparently issued the order even before yesterday’s reports that the mouthy singer had finally decided to attend the awards ceremony.
A source told the paper the ban came after she found out about a gift from Lily which Pete hadn’t told her about.
They said: "Kate went ballistic and kept shouting about why he had kept the thing from Lily after all these months. Pete insisted that she was being paranoid, they were just mates.
"But Kate was having none of it and said that there was no way that Pete was going to the Brits if Lily was going - especially as she wasn’t going herself.
"Pete was gutted as he was looking forward to it."
Lily could be in the spotlight more than once at the ceremony.
She is nominated for Best British Single for Smile, MasterCard British Album for Alright Still, and British Female Solo Artist at the Brits.

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.
