It's pathetic.
The most recent story is because of this picture -
It was posted on some dodgy celebrity gossip site, Perez Hilton. And now there are stories all over the place talking about Doherty's "Gay scandal". Including one at nine msn news who I thought were a little more reputable.
The thing that really annoys me about this is no one seems to be doing their research.
For starters these photos were taken way back in 2004 by rock photographer Andrew Kendall and the full series can be found here at his site.
And the man he's kissing who most sources are labelling as 'unknown' or 'unidentified' is actually Peter Wolfe (aka Wolfman), one of Pete's best mates who co wrote 'For Lovers' with him. It wouldn't take much time to figure this out. Just a few well worded searches in google and you'd get all the information you need. It's really not that difficult.
okay i'll stop ranting now. It's just frustrating is all...

Dodgy gossip sites are always prime examples of poor journalism. Of course they're not going to research who Pete Doherty is kissing; if the public finds out it's one of his best friends, they're going to care less. Best friends make out all the time!
In other news, I linked you to my music blog (I enjoyed our conversation about Radiohead, and have since then began questioning the effect downloading music is having on the industry from a more negative standpoint). Just wanted to let you know.
mmmm pete.... *drools*
Woo! PETE! BOYS KISSING! You should get some sort of blogging award for this post.
