Pete Doherty's Acting Debut Draws Mixed Reviews At Cannes

Pete Dohertys debut acting performance panned

Pete Doherty was in France this past weekend to attend the Cannes Film Festival because that's where his debut film is premiering!

His first major acting role in Confession of a Child of the Century was unveiled on Sunday at the festival, but it wasn't to the best reviews.

While one reviewer praised the British rocker as "perfectly cast," others weren't so nice.

The Guardian panned the film and said, "Pete Doherty's performance as a philosophising dandy is as catastrophic as the

OoOo what is that!?!

Well it's a not a film, that's for sure!

No, no. When Pete Doherty goes to Cannes, he's prepared to enjoy all forms of entertainment.

Taking a break at Nikki Beach Club, the English rocker enjoyed a lil' reading before probably hitting up another party.

Looking very intellectual these days, Pete!

This is just…morbid.

Along with pieces from Pete Doherty’s On Blood: A Portrait of the Artist exhibition - which consists of drawings/paintings using copious amounts of Doherty’s blood - a painting done by Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty using Amy’s blood will be auctioned off Friday evening at London’s Cobb Gallery.

Wait, hold up. So blood stains are art now?

Pete Doherty To Pay Tribute To Amy Winehouse At Upcoming Concert

Hopefully this devastating loss will help him maintain his own sobriety.

Fresh out of a shortened prison sentence for cocaine possession, Pete Doherty has reportedly planned to dedicate his upcoming stint at Reading and Leeds Festival to his deceased dear friend, Amy Winehouse.

A source explains:

“Pete was really good mates with Amy and he’s still really cut up about her death. He hopes to help get rid of his demons by dedicating his festival gigs to her memory. He loved her music and hopes he can do it justice."

With those kind of intentions, we think that he'll do more than do her justice.

We're sure she'd be so appreciative, Pete!

Best of luck!

Pete Doherty To Be Jailed For Six Months

Doherty Gets 6 Months In Jail

Whomp whomp!

This is what happens when you carry a bunch of cocaine on you!

British rocker Pete Doherty has just been jailed on Friday for six months for that very reason. He's been having a lot of issues with drugs over the past decade and has collected himself a lot of drug offenses to go with it.

He pleaded guilty last month, and was sentenced today.

The bad news for his fans is that he was on tour and now the rest of it has been cancelled, because you can't play an awesome show from jail — unless you're Johnny Cash.

He blames the death of Robyn Whitehead for leaving him a broken man.

Hopefully this little vacation straightens him out! Let's hope it acts as a form of drug rehab, and he can get back to his music once he's out again.

Maybe he could even finish the tour for those who are upset about missing him!
