Im posting these in Kate Moss b/c he is w/ her....or is he not......he is a mess though.....3 A.M. GIRLS..... IS Pete Doherty turning his back on his hell-raising ways? In a bizarre twist in the sorry saga of the "junkie scumbag", he claims to have found God. We kid you not. The Babyshambles frontman reckons he has become a born-again Bible-basher, after an obscure non-league footballer told him the Good Book could turn his life around. And let's face it, the way Pete's going he's in desperate need of some divine intervention. As well as being a self-confessed crack and heroin addict, the "junkie scumbag" has a reputation for no-shows at gigs and has had a series of bust-ups and brushes with the law. On Wednesday, he assaulted Mirror journalist Laurie Hanna in a pub in North London - just days after being ditched by his fed-up girlfriend Kate Moss following his involvement in a boozy street brawl. Frantic to turn his life around, we're told that Pete, 26, contacted his lifelong footballing hero, former QPR striker Dennis Bailey, asking how to get back on the straight and narrow. And 39-year-old Dennis, who last played for Stafford Rangers in the Dr Marten's Premier League, responded to the singer's plea by advocating the power of prayer. Now Pete says he's made The Bible a big part of his life. "One person who's totally influenced my behaviour is QPR footballer Dennis Bailey," says Pete. "I've admired him so much from afar. He's one of the people whose life I could romanticise and perceive certain things and think, 'Well, if they did it, it must be all right.' "Dennis scored a hat-trick on New Year's Day in 1992 at Old Trafford, 4-1 was the score, in the halcyon days. But Dennis is a born-again Christian and he made me turn to Genesis. To Jesus Christ. I had been to Sunday School, and that, but when I wrote to him he wrote back and told me I should be looking at The Bible. And I'm glad I did. "He had me open up my Bible, and I opened it up to the Book of Genesis. I've been affected by Dennis since." Maybe Dennis and the Good Lord can succeed where others have failed. Earlier this week, we told how Hollywood hunk Johnny Depp advised Pete on being a better dad to his son Astille, by singer Lisa Moorish. The crack-crazed frontman also made a 4am phone call to 3am, wanting to apologise to Bob Geldof for saying his daughter Peaches had made a pass at him. Is Pete beyond help? Heaven knows.

http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/s...037404&p=y5yx... Damon Albarn: 'Make Doherty history' 29/07/2005 - 10:03:30 Blur singer Damon Albarn is starting a campaign to 'make Pete Doherty history' - because the troubled rocker's musical achievements do not justify his media hype. Doherty has been a regular feature in British tabloid newspapers since quitting The Libertines last year, frequently giving tell-all interviews to the press about his drug problems and rocky relationship with supermodel Kate Moss. Albarn is amazed by the amount of attention Doherty receives, because his most recent band Babyshambles' sole single only got to number eight in the UK charts, while his highest chart entry with The Libertines was number 11 with Don't Look Into The Sun in August 2003. Albarn fumes: "What does matter is that Babyshambles have only ever released one song - one song! "People talk about this great talent, but there's nothing to him. He's a mess. I'm starting a campaign to 'Make Doherty History'. He's well over-rated." Doherty dumped Babyshambles last weekend after only a year together.

NY POST...PAGE 6 JANICE Dickinson's foul mouth is supposedly sending some members of her West Hollywood gym scrambling for the exits. One fed-up staffer at the Equinox sweat shop called us to complain that the self-proclaimed "world's first supermodel" has been hurling abuse at her fellow gym rats. "She had a meltdown in the ladies' locker room and started calling everyone the c-word," claimed our snitch. "She is very abusive and out-of-control. Some people are leaving the gym because of her behavior. The management has had meetings about her, but they haven't approached her yet." But Dickinson - currently causing chaos on VH1's "The Surreal Life" - denied all. "Every time I go, people are very nice to me," she told us from the set of TV's "Charmed," where she was filming a cameo. "I've got a lot of [bleeping] enemies. I'm confounded. Maybe people are trying to make me look like Naomi Campbell, but I'm not Naomi Campbell, I'm Janice Dickinson. I'm sure there are a lot of really angry ladies there because I do have an amazing body . . . There's a lot of angry, jealous bitches." Dickinson is currently rehearsing for her one-woman show, "What Would Janice Do?," at Hollywood's El Rey Theater from Aug. 29 to Sept. 1.

http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2005-07-28/ Wilson Blames Hollywood for Bachelordom Eligible bachelor Owen Wilson has no intention of settling down in the near future because he is having too much fun "experimenting" with women. The Wedding Crashers star, 36, admits he is similar to his womanizing character John Beckwith - but he blames Hollywood for his promiscuous behavior. He tells Maxim magazine, "I thought that I'd be married by the time I was 30 and be starting a family, but it just hasn't worked out that way. I think that there's something about being in Hollywood. I don't know if I'm shallow, but you want to make sure that you make the right choice because you know that it's forever and I didn't realise that I have such a strong scientific side that demands that I experiment with and compare women."

Tasered Mo. Grandmother Gets Probation Thu Jul 28, 4:42 PM ET KANSAS CITY, Mo. = A 67-year-old grandmother who was shocked with a Taser stun gun after she honked her car horn at a police cruiser has been given a year's probation for sparking a quarrel with officers, A charge of improper use of the horn against Louise Jones was dismissed Wednesday in Kansas City Municipal Court. Her husband, Fred, 76, who became involved in the fray last year, also got one year of probation for the same charges — resisting arrest and attempting to inflict injury on an officer. The only condition of the probation is that the couple obey all laws. The incident, which resulted in a change in department policy and the disciplining of two officers, happened in June 2004 as police were responding to a disturbance call across the street from the couple's home. Officers said they approached Louise Jones after she honked her horn, thinking she had reported the disturbance or perhaps was in trouble. A defense witness testified the honk was accidental. "She immediately became hostile to us," Officer Ryan VanDeusen testified. He said that she continued the verbal assault when the officers returned to their squad car. "It was very loudy, it was antagonistic, it was very derogatory toward my partner and I," he testified. Officer Cory LeMoine said he told Jones he could give her a ticket for honking the horn, and that a physical confrontation began after she wouldn't show him her driver's license. He said he and his partner struggled with Jones both inside and outside her house. The officers said that while VanDeusen was trying to handcuff her, Fred Jones came down the stairs and leveled his shoulder into him. VanDeusen said he used the Taser on Louise Jones when his partner couldn't get her under control. The Jones disputed the officers' account. Louise Jones and other defense witnesses said she wasn't confrontational and that the comments she made were directed to a friend, not to the officers. "She says something to the neighbor across the street and the officer didn't like that," said defense attorney Basil North. "He decided he was going to teach her a lesson." Louise Jones said she pulled away from the police when one of the officers grabbed her arm, and her husband said one of the officers had his knee on his wife's chest. Municipal Judge Marcia K. Walsh told the couple they should fulfill their sentence easily, pointing out that Fred Jones' criminal history was perfect except for a traffic ticket. "Your record is even better," she told Louise Jones. "You don't even have a ticket." The couple's attorney said they plan to appeal the decision. North moved for dismissal of the horn-honking charges on grounds that the ordinance involved was worded vaguely, and the prosecutor agreed to drop it.

Train Driver Fired for Drunk Driving Thu Jul 28, 4:59 PM ET HANOI, Vietnam - A drunk Vietnamese train driver who fell sound asleep on the job, leaving his cargo train to barrel unmanned down the tracks, has been fired, an official said Thursday. Well damn....I would hope so........... Vu Kim Tien, 45, was alone on the runaway train as it chugged the more than six miles to the next station on Saturday. He had fallen asleep after drinking alcohol during a break, said Tran Tan Bao, deputy director of Ha Lao Locomotive Enterprise in northern Yen Bai province, 112 miles northwest of Hanoi. Officials at several railway stations along the track were alerted and all other trains stopped after Tien's locomotive took off without clearance, he said. Officials tried shouting into the two carriages as the train passed along the tracks, but to no avail, he said. Authorities at the next stop then made a lot of noise near the train, which woke Tien up. He was able to stop the train and no one was injured in the incident, Bao said. Tien was fired Tuesday, ending a 20-year career that had no other blemishes, he said.

Cashier Allegedly Gives Random Discounts Wed Jul 27, 7:48 PM ET NASHUA, N.H. - In a bizarre case, a store cashier is charged with helping apparently random people steal about $5,000 in clothing from the store. Police have charged Shayna McDonald, 19, of Nashua, with theft. They said that while she worked as a cashier at the A.G. Wright Department store, she allowed customers to leave with goods after charging them a fraction of the cost. Lt. Andrew Lavoie said what makes it bizarre, is that McDonald and the customers who got the price breaks apparently didn't know each other. He said the word was out on the street that she gave breaks on clothing and she apparently got nothing in return.

Allegedly Makes False Abduction Report 1 hour, 24 minutes ago FONTANA, Calif. - A man was arrested Thursday for allegedly making a false police report that his niece was in his car when it was stolen in hopes that the vehicle would be found quickly. Trevon Smith, 18, initially reported a 4-year-old niece was in the back seat of his 1995 blue Toyota Camry when the car was stolen around 2:15 p.m. from a gas station, police said. An Amber Alert was quickly issued but was called off about two hours later when it was determined the girl had not been in the car. The auto theft was videotaped by the gas station's security camera. "When we brought him to the station, it was determined that he was lying," said Officer Trish Coyle. "His car was stolen, but there was never any child in the back seat." Coyle said the girl's mother came to the police station and told detectives that her daughter was safe and had never been kidnapped. Authorities were still searching for the Camry. Authorities said the car had a California license plate, 4SBJ962, with tinted windows and a sticker of a dove in the rear window. Smith told police that his car's gas tank was close to empty and he had yet to fill it up when the vehicle stolen, Sgt. William Megenney. "What this has done is tie up dozens of officers," Coyle said. "The public thinks if they exaggerate the crime, that they're going to get a quicker response."

What do you suppose he thought would happen? Tue Jul 26,10:01 AM ET SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - A Texas man was arrested on Monday after calling police to complain about the theft of his marijuana, authorities said. Stephen Knight, 17, said three men had broken into his apartment, hogtied him with Christmas lights and stole some marijuana, along with a plasma screen television, police said. Police are looking for the suspects. In the meantime, they arrested Knight after finding several marijuana plants growing under heat lamps in the apartment, four grams of harvested marijuana and a tablet of ecstasy, Officer Chad Ripley said. Knight said the men barged into his home early on Monday morning demanding, "Where's the weed?," according to San Antonio police. What a dumbass!

Farmer killed by falling cow ZAGREB (Reuters) - A Croatian farmer was killed when a cow he was about to milk fell and crushed him, local media reported Tuesday. The unfortunate 61-year-old farmer, from the village of Cadjavacki Lug in central Croatia, went into the stable where his family keeps nine cows, as he had every morning for the past 20 years, the Vecernji List newspaper reported. "I think he slipped, grabbed the milking machine and knocked it over. That must have frightened the cow, which slipped and fell on top of him," his distraught daughter-in-law, who was in the stable with him, told the daily. "It took me and the rest of the family almost three minutes to get the cow off him." She said the cow, named Lara, had been very meek and that even children could milk her without fear. The newspaper did not say what had become of the cow.

Dead woman shot in casket, mourners flee Thu Jul 28, 8:26 AM ET RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - A dead woman lying in her casket was hit by a stray bullet during a wake in Rio de Janeiro and mourners fled in panic, police said on Wednesday. The bullet, fired in a shootout between a drug gang and police in a slum adjacent to the cemetery Tuesday, pierced the casket inside the cemetery's chapel and got lodged in the corpse's pelvis. Clenilda da Silva, 49, a babysitter, had died the previous day of a heart attack. The bullet was not removed before burial. "This is just too sad. My God, to get shot after death," Extra tabloid newspaper quoted da Silva's sister, Maria de Lourdes Pereira, as saying. The newspaper said another bullet broke a window in a neighboring chapel and bullet holes could be seen on many trees and cemetery walls. Standoffs between drug gangs and police or just between rival gangs often claim innocent lives in Rio, which has one of the world's highest murder rates. Well at least she didnt feel anything.

Woman sues Denny's over toilet burnsJul. 28, 2005 at 9:56PM A Kansas woman has filed a lawsuit seeking damages for severe burns on her rear end caused by chemicals used to clean a toilet at a Denny's Restaurant. Kathleen Williams' suit names Denny's Corp. and Jomar Investments LLC, owner of the St. Louis-area Denny's where she was injured. Williams claims she did not see the chemicals but felt them as soon as she sat down. Pedro Irigonegaray, her lawyer, said that she had to be hospitalized immediately and suffered permanent injuries. "Sadly, as a result of the chemical injury, nerves were injured that create a sensation of pain 24 hours a day," Irigonegaray told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He said Williams has to take medication for pain and wear special underpants designed for burn victims.

The Doll With Weight Issues This is either the most bizarre "toy," or the most clever. I haven't decided yet. There is a doll designed by Christina Bisland called the GO-DO. You are able to inject the doll with a liquid to change the doll's body shape and size.Today, even though they are larger than their counterparts in the 50s, children are still given 50s shaped Barbie dolls to play with. If given the opportunity to decide whether their doll was to be slim or fat, which would they choose? Would they want their doll to look like them? Should we give a child that choice?The doll is manipulated through the injection of a liquid into its hollow body, which changes its shape from very slim to obese (and vice-versa).While the doll was developed in response to obesity and eating disorders, I'm not quite sure of the purpose for the doll? I think most kids would get more kicks out of injecting a doll than anything else.

http://www.timesleader.com/mld/timesleader...on/12248770.htm Posted on Thu, Jul. 28, 2005 BY BETH GILLIN Knight Ridder Newspapers (KRT) - Some call it attempting suicide after getting beaten up by your boyfriend. But country singer Mindy McCready calls it divine intervention. "I think God's been trying to get my attention and telling me I'm supposed to be out there singing and entertaining," McCready said after her release this week from a Florida hospital, where she was treated for a drug overdose. That doesn't mean McCready, 29, is ditching said boyfriend, William McKnight, 39, even though family members say they fear for her life. "He beat me up badly, and my family's upset about it. They don't want us to reconcile," said McCready, who's working on her seventh album. She plans to discuss domestic violence on the Oprah Winfrey show in September. She's due to be arraigned Friday in Arizona on fraud charges; McCready says she was victimized by a con man. McKnight faces charges of attempted criminal homicide and aggravated burglary in Nashville related to the beating in May at McCready's home. "He was at no time trying to murder me," McCready insists. Maybe Oprah can intervene.

I think she is older than 33. I was thnking 38 or so.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Mindy McCready has been released from a Florida hospital, four days after an apparent suicide attempt, authorities said. McCready, 29, was released Tuesday. The country singer was found unconscious Friday in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Harborside in Indian Rocks Beach, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. William McKnight, who was with her and described himself as McCready's fiance, told investigators that she had taken large amounts of two unidentified substances, consumed a lot of alcohol and left a four-page suicide note. "No criminal charges are anticipated against McCready or McKnight, and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office will be taking no further action in this matter," said a press release on the Web site of the sheriff's office. McKnight, 39, was charged in Nashville with attempted criminal homicide and aggravated burglary after he allegedly beat McCready at her home in May. He posted $130,000 bail last month. After the attack, the singer went on nationwide TV shows to speak out against domestic violence. A few days before the attack, McCready - who had a hit in 1996 with "Guys Do It All the Time" - was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license. Last year, she pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining the painkiller OxyContin at a suburban pharmacy and was fined $4,000, sentenced to three years of supervised probation and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.

3 A.M. GIRLS... HOLLYWOOD hunk Johnny Depp must still be fond of his former fiancee Kate Moss - why else would he bother warning Pete Doherty to get his act together? The 42-year-old Charlie And The Chocolate Factory star, who split up with Kate in 1998 after a four-year romance, was keen to check out the latest man in her life when all three met up for lunch recently. And former hellraiser Johnny, who has since settled down into domestic bliss with French singer Vanessa Paradis and their children - Lily-Rose, six, and three-year-old Jack - wasted no time telling the junkie Babyshambles singer to sort himself out and steer clear of trouble. Our spy reveals: "Johnny had come to London for the film's premiere and was determined to catch up with Kate and meet Pete for the first time. "Johnny is still close to Kate and they've remained friends. Since she had her daughter Lila Grace, two years ago, he's been increasingly concerned for her and wants to make sure she is in good hands. "People had warned Johnny that Pete was trouble but he never likes to judge a book by its cover. He wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. "He had obviously heard about Pete's wild, rock star antics and was concerned for Kate, so he took him aside for a one-to-one. "They were having a real heart to heart. Johnny was saying how having children had changed his life and that Pete should focus on raising his son Estille [by singer Lisa Moorish] and on being a good father." Johnny certainly knows what he's talking about. In 1994 he was arrested for trashing a hotel suite in New York and in 1999 he was snapped scrapping with paparazzi outside a London restaurant. But since becoming a dad he has put his wild ways behind him. Unfortunately, his advice fell on deaf ears. Last Friday, 29-year-old Pete got into a boozy street brawl with a group of youths. He fled into a shop but the gang smashed in the front door looking for him. This incident also proved the last straw for Kate, who broke off their engagement and ordered him out of her mansion in Oxfordshire. Pete then made an emotional call to 3am, wanting to publicly apologise to Sir Bob Geldof and rubbishing his earlier claims about 16-year-old Peaches Geldof grabbing his bum before his Live 8 duet with Sir Elton John. None of which should impress either Kate or Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny. Let's hope Pete doesn't run into the swashbuckling star again soon. We bet Johnny would have him walking the plank.

from defamerBruce Willis Narrowly Avoids Sex At Tropicana It looks like Bruce Willis made the “great and interesting” cut at the Tropicana bar at the Roosevelt, which might currently hold the title of “most celeb-infested liquor hole in all of Hollywood.” From Page Six:On Friday, Willis was at a cabana in the Tropicana at the Roosevelt Hotel in L.A. with 20 pals when the subject turned to pickup lines. Willis looked at a woman, a sophomore in college, and said, “What are your plans for sex tonight?” But Willis’ lawyer, Marty Singer, said, “Bruce was joking around with some friends and talking about pickup lines. One remembered an old pickup line [Willis] used to use. The friend said the line and Bruce may have repeated it, but he was not trying to pick up the woman.” Still, the woman was “grossed out” and left the cabana.See, Bruce and the boys were just screwing around! No one was actually trying to get laid, but if a 20-year-old got “grossed out,” “somehow” got a hold of Willis’ room key, then later “spent the night talking about the craft” with a “man old enough to be the father that withheld his love, causing her to move to L.A. to pursue her dreams to prove him wrong,” that’s hardly the fault of a hackneyed pick-up line.

NY POST...PAGE 6 WHILE Jude Law was doing the nasty with the nanny, Sienna Miller - pictured on the facing page with Orlando Bloom on Sunday - was making time with her ex, male model David Neville. One topic they're said to have discussed was nude photos of Miller and Neville that vanished after a burglary at his London flat. A friend of Neville tells us he and Miller stayed in constant contact while she was hot and heavy with Law. "She would text message David all the time," the pal notes, "saying things like, 'I'm on the beach with Jude but I'm heartbroken, I miss you and I can't stop thinking about you . . . This feels wrong.' " Miller dated Neville, an "Adonis-like" former investment banker who now co-owns hipster clothing company Rag & Bone, for two years between 2001 and 2003, and they lived together in London's Notting Hill. They broke up shortly after Miller met Law and she asked Neville to move out, but they stayed close. Last summer, Law reportedly blew up at Miller for continuing to cozy up to Neville in Law's absence. We're also told Neville has a stash of nude shots of himself and Miller, and nude shots of her, some of which went missing when his London apartment was burgled a few months back. The photos are still at large. "David was freaking out," our source says. "He had to call and tell Sienna about it. She was hysterical because her career was just taking off at that point, and he was worried about his image, as well." Neville told PAGE SIX's Jared Paul Stern: "It's been my stance not to discuss Sienna." As for the stolen photos, "That was a long time ago," he insists. Miller's rep, Caira Parks, said she was unaware of our information and said Miller is not commenting on her personal life. Regarding Neville, Miller once told an interviewer: "Our relationship lasted two years, but I'm quite resilient. I haven't allowed myself to wallow in self-pity. I adore Dave, but I'm growing up and I need some space." Meanwhile, Miller seems to be seeking solace in the arms of Bloom, another ex whom she dated briefly in 2001 before she took up with Neville. They were photographed together at a polo tournament in England on Sunday, where one guest reportedly remarked to Miller, "Jude's a [bleep]." "I know," she responded. Asked about the photo of them together, Parks says: "Orlando is an old friend and they were just having a normal chat. I was sitting right next to her and there were 600 people in the room. It's all been misinterpreted."

Who will play Sheryl Crowe? Will she play herself?

Betrayed Miller was photographed with former lover and Lord Of The Rings star Bloom at a polo match on Sunday. Miller, 23, and Bloom, 28, were pictured gazing into each other's eyes and then kissing at the Cartier International polo event in Windsor, Berkshire. It came just a week after Law, 32, was forced to publicly apologise to Miller over revelations about an affair he had with his nanny Daisy Wright, 26, who was employed to look after his children. Law, who has twice been nominated for an Oscar, said he was "deeply ashamed and upset" at his behaviour and is said to be trying to win Miller back. The couple are still officially engaged, although Miller has taken off her £20,000 (?28,900) engagement ring.

Teri Hatcher's VW-Van Sex July 25, 2005, 4:18:17 Teri Hatcher makes love in an old van parked in her garden - to stop her seven-year-old daughter accidentally interrupting proceedings. The 'Desperate Housewives' actress admits she has been inviting dates back to her "passion wagon" in the driveway of her luxurious mansion. Twice-wed Teri, 40, has only recently started seriously dating again after divorcing actor Jon Tenney more than two years ago. She is quoted as saying: "I've had that battered VW van for years I think it's sexy and hot to get to grips with a guy in my passion wagon. "When my van's a-rocking, don't come knocking!" .

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050725/ap_en_...tany_murphy;_... NEW YORK - Brittany Murphy is the first celebrity Jordache jeans girl. She stars in a series of new ads for the company that became famous during the 1970s' designer jeans craze. The ads, shot by Patrick Demarchelier, are a twist on the horse-head logo, with the 27-year-old actress wearing the jeans and a sweater and posing on a horse with no saddle. Jordache said the first ads will run in national publications beginning in September. "We chose Brittany as our model because she epitomizes everything that the updated Jordache brand is about," Liz Berlinger, president of Jordache enterprises, said in a statement Monday. "She is a classic beauty with an individual sense of style. That really comes across when you meet her." Murphy's screen credits include "8 Mile," "Just Married" and "Sin City." At the photo shoot in upstate New York, Murphy told Jordache executives that it was the first time she had ridden a horse. After spending the day with Cloud, Murphy said she might take riding lessons when she's done filming her new movie "Love and Other Disasters." The Jordache Vintage line is available in upscale stores, while the junior label is sold in Wal-Mart

Life-Sized Statue of Betty Boop Beheaded Sun Jul 24, 2:33 AM ET Her ebony hair perfectly parted and saucer-like eyes perpetually staring, the life-size Betty Boop statue became a local landmark on the city's Shore Drive. But Sunday morning, a patron discovered the $1,600 figure a block away from its home in front of Cool & Eclectic Furniture and Fashion - without its head. Six days later, the head remained missing. "Without it, she's nothing," said store owner Larry Estes, who filed a police report Friday. Estes collected Boop's body and placed it in a storeroom. Then he began searching up and down Shore Drive. He is offering a free store item to anyone who comes forward with Boop's head. "She's made a lot of people smile," he said of the mascot. "Who would do this?" Betty has had run-ins before. Two years ago, Hurricane Isabel's winds tossed the statue down Shore Drive, severing limbs and crushing her head. "From heel to head, I had to reconstruct her," Estes said
