Moss: I don't, I didn't, I haven't

Have Pete Doherty and Kate Moss got married? The Sun says yes:

KATE Moss and junkie Pete Doherty were “married” yesterday — in a bizarre Buddhist ceremony on holiday.

The lovers had water sprinkled over their heads as a Thai priest pronounced them man and wife.

Friends and family clapped and cheered.


But the quotation marks around married shows that even they know that, really, this wasn't a marriage:

[T]he New Year’s Day union at a villa overlooking a Phuket beach is NOT legally binding in the UK.

Oh.

What's more, Kate Moss denies that even the bizarre Buddhist ceremony never happened, either:

"Contrary to various entirely false media reports, there has not been any kind of marriage ceremony in Thailand. She is on holiday," he said.

The Sun reports that "pals of Kate" have been told to keep January 18th free in their diaries, surmising that that will be the date when the pair finally give the money shot. Although if Moss has any friends whose diaries for the week after next are still empty, we wonder, frankly, who they are.

Bookies have apparently stopped taking bets on the pair putting their, uh, relationship onto a legal footing, but:

David Williams, of Ladbrokes, said the bookmaker has closed its book on the pair tying the knot.

But he added that the firm is offering odds of 4/1 that the couple will divorce before 2008.


We were always given to understand that bookmakers refused to take wagers on unhappy events, but presumably they don't really see the potential divorce of a couple with young children as involving real people with actual emotions.
