Tabloid hell: Is Pete Doherty now a sex addict?

Yahoo! Music, Jul 9, 2007 3:00 pm PDT
Just when it seemed Pete Doherty had his hands full beating his drug vices--a court told him last week he must attend a detox clinic ahead of his next appearance--today (July 9) the tabloids have found him a new addiction.

According to the excitable end of the tabloid press, the Babyshambles frontman is a sex addict.

The Star claims that Doherty is apparently "a serial cheat who cannot resist a romp."

Following reports he has split from girlfriend Kate Moss after claims he cheated on her with a South African model, the paper believes it has managed to get yet another of Doherty's alleged conquests out of the woodwork.

In this kiss-and-tell, an Italian rock fan claims to have been picked out of the crowd by the singer during a gig in Rimini.

"Pete made it clear he wanted sex," the fan claimed, though she admitted the tryst did test her conscience. "I did feel a bit guilty about Kate, but Pete was acting like she never existed."

Naturally, the various spokespersons involved are declining to comment.
