BABYSHAMBLES LURCH TO PARLOPHONE

Obviously, they're going to have to keep Pete out of prison/the grave long enough to fulfill the deal, but apparently Parlophone have signed Babyshambles to a 'multi-album' contract. Of course, it's being described as being "worth a million pounds", but then they all are, aren't they?

Oddly, then, yesterday Pete Doherty was telling us how he was petrol-bomb hurling rebel. Today, he's got himself a steady job with EMI records.

Still, it's good news for Pete - after all, a large, multinational company with an almost animalisitic desire to receive only good press is going to be a much better environment for a crazed junkie with an ill-considered interview habit to be in.
