Pete Doherty, the lead singer of British band Babyshambles, has been sent to jail for 14 weeks for violating probation and using drugs.

Doherty – who once dated supermodel Kate Moss and has a history of drug problems – was given a suspended jail sentence in October for drug possession and illegal driving.

He missed an appointment with his probation team, which resulted in his new sentence.

He may be a junkie but I think he is so hot. Those British men are just sexy no matter what. I love their accents and their fashion style. PS- I think he is a very talented singer and poet, just wish he would get off the drugs.

Pete, Pete, Pete, when will you ever learn to stop using drugs and missing a meeting with your probation team? But, this news is none too surprising to me, or anybody who's followed his troubles over the years, and his relationship with Kate Moss, even though they're no longer dating, and got married in a ceremony that wasn't legal last year, etc. I honestly feel bad for Pete Doherty, and I thought he was trying to clean his act up last year or whenever that was,? ,etc.
