Pete pops into pharmacy

The worst thing about the apparent sighting of Pete Doherty buying syringes?? It's not just that he's let his friends down. It's not that he's let Kate down. It's that he's let Victoria Newton down:

JUST three days and 15 hours after leaving The Priory, PETE DOHERTY has been spotted buying SYRINGES.

I had really hoped the BABYSHAMBLES singer’s latest trip to rehab would be his last.

Of course you had, Victoria. In exactly the same way political editors hope Gordon and Tony stop sniping at each other, and football journalists hope that teams will simply stop.

I am so disappointed. Pete’s latest stint in The Priory was supposed to be a new turning point for the junkie rock star.

But it is time to face facts and realise this treatment is not working for him — as my picture of the singer looking bloated and sweaty on his way to yesterday’s gig proves.

How could you do it, Pete? How could you let Victoria down so?

It's not all bad news, of course: The Priory is doing rather nicely out of his recent stay there:

A concerned source at the rehab hospital where JUSTIN HAWKINS and TOM CHAPLIN from KEANE were also treated, told me: “The girls turn up complaining of suffering from anxiety and start asking about Pete.

“Pete has even visited some of the girls and helped them write poems. They are hooked on his every word — it’s frightening.

“They think being in rehab is cool . . . it’s not.”

Of course being in rehab isn't cool. Justin Hawkins and Tom Chaplin are doing it, for God's sake.
