Just when you thought Pete Doherty needed an uncontrollable drug addiction to continue his Joe DiMaggio-like streak of random stupidity, the Babyshambles frontman proved everyone wrong last week with one astonishing act after the next.

Doherty began his German assault by insulting an entire audience of festival goers with the singing of “Deutschland, Deutschland Ueber Alles”, the national anthem previously endorsed by the Nazi party during their brief but memorable reign.

Either out of fear for his safety and/or a general dislike for scandal, festival organizers immediately removed Doherty from the stage after the crowd began showering him with boos and cat calls.

According to Rolling Stone and a nameless publicist, he was completely unaware that singing a song with former Nazi ties could potentially infuriate the good people of Germany.

“[Doherty] deeply apologizes if he has caused any offense,” his spokesperson said. “Pete himself is from Jewish descent and has fought against racism and fascism with numerous organizations. This is a subject he feels very strongly about.”

Still unsatisfied with merely offending an entire country, the recently rehabilitated British rocker was later arrested in Berlin in a separate completely unrelated matter.

German newspaper Bild alleges that a witness observed Doherty throw a pint glass at a parked Ford Fiesta, resulting in property damage charges and a three hour stint in jail.

The band responsible for one of the most impressive debut albums of this still young millennium (Up the Bracket),  have decided to put aside their petty differences for the noble pursuit of making more money.

A disturbingly close Pete Doherty and Carl Barat parted ways in 2004, as a result of the routinely drug addled frontman’s many failed efforts to sober up in rehab.

From the ashes arose Babyshambles and the Barat led Dirty Pretty Things, who proved to be mere shells of their former selves, as each band struggled to gain notoriety outside of England.

Now after years of speculation and calculated plodding on the part of Barat, Britain’s Daily Star is reporting that the star-crossed musicians have negotiated a new management deal and will begin touring as early as next year.

If I were you I’d get my tickets early, since it’s only a matter of time before Doherty falls off the wagon again.
