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!

Living the rockstar life just got a little easier for Pete Doherty.

The Babyshambles rocker and former Libertines star was released from prison after only three months in a six-month sentence for cocaine possession.

On Tuesday, a statement was issued on the Brit rocker's website, saying:

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!

Seriously?! And who exactly thinks that he's going to be coherent enough to make it through filming?

Libertines frontman Pete Doherty has reportedly signed on to play womanizing French poet Alfred de Musset in an adaptation of his novel, La Confession d'un Enfant du Siècle, alongside Charlotte Gainsbourg as the female lead!

Reports reveal that production began on Monday in Germany, which will take the place of France for the purposes of the film.

Wow! We had no idea that he had ANY interest in acting, let alone would be able to snag such a big role!

We'll be VERY interested to see how this turns out! Here's hoping he surprises us all and pulls out a good performance!

Thoughts??

We doubt anyone will be shocked by this, which probably makes it even sadder.

Pete Doherty was officially charged with possession of cocaine yesterday, which related from his March arrest where he was suspected of supplying the drug to heiress Robin Whitehead, who died of a drug overdose in January.

Although initially the charge was supplying drugs, but it's since been knocked down to just possession.

A source reveals:

"Pete's adamant he played no part in Robin's death. He is still very distressed."

He and friend Peter Wolf - who was also involved and has been charged with two counts of possession and one of supplying a Class A drug - are due in court on October 18th, and are both facing jail time if convicted.

What do U think?? Should Pete be held accountable for Robin's death?

We suppose it would be foolish not to, on account of all that crack creativity in one house!

Apparently now that Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty are living in drug-addicted squalor together, they're apparently attempting to collaborate on music!

A source reveals:

"Amy has really cleaned up her act and is now keeping an eye on Pete to make sure he's OK. They want to write a song together about survival, love affairs, drugs, drink."

Oh, this ought to be just PRICELESS! We can't even begin to imagine what will come out of this hurricane of inebriated, cracked out mess!

But hey, Wino! How about you focus on getting your OWN album out first?! Or did you forget that you were supposed to be making one?

Well, this certainly has 'trainwreck methfaced disaster' written all over it!

Amy Winehouse has reportedly peeled herself off of the sidewalk and somehow has managed to gather enough lucid focus to invite the equally sober Pete Doherty to come and live with her in Camden!

Yes. Seriously. This actually happened!

According to a source:

"Amy has offered Pete a place to stay while he's in London working on The Libertines comeback. She thinks a lot of him and they've been through a lot together so she wants to help him out. But pals are worried because they are bad influences on each other."

If we weren't so terrified for their lives right now, we'd think that this is HIGHlarious!

Worthy of a sitcom, even!

But most sitcoms don't come to a screeching halt when somebody burns the house down trying to freebase with cleaning solvent, so let's just all keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!

LOLs!

Good luck, you crazy drug-addicts kids!

How have he and Wino not hooked it up?! Perfect couple.

Pete Doherty has been hospitalized in France on Thursday.

As fans arrived at the Theatre de Verdure in Nice for a show, concertgoers were informed that Pete was in the hospital and that the show would be rescheduled.

"Some fans were crying. It was terrible," said a witness.

Others were rightfully pissed!

"Three young Italian girls were really mad," the source adds. "They drove four hours from Italy to see Pete Doherty and couldn't believe the gig was cancelled. One of them was really furious and shouted, 'I can't believe he did that! It cost us time and money to come all the way from Italy.'"

Well, he sure isn't the most likely person to count on!
