Did you know that the 10th of February, 1999 is the historic date that Pete Doherty decided to purchase a black bowler hat?
You’ll learn that, and lots more – like that Kate and Pete like to have sex on the Eurostar train when they zip to and from Paris- once you read the selections from Pete’s diaries. They chronicle the life, loves, and various addictions of the great man himself.
Many of the entries were written in Kate’s garden shed, which is where Pete likes to sulk when Kate is mad at him about his heroin use – we’re not making this up; he says that in the entries. Apparently, even power couples have their issues.
In the end, love prevails and Pete writes about his intention to marry Kate this summer. He says this will make him “ten times happier than any given smackhead.”
When he writes sweet nothings like this:
“For single mothers everwhere in love with crackheads you [Kate] are a shining light of hope.”
What women could resist?
Or, as Faran wonders, is this all a giant hoax?
