Who the FUCK made Pete Doherty famous?!

Fame. It's a strange beast. In modern times it seems that just about anyone can become a celebrity, although to make sure that "proper" ones are kept seperate from the wannabes we apparently are supposed to put them into "lists" to define just how good a celebrity is at, well, being a celebrity.

Sorting out all the celebrities in the world isn't an easy task, and wasn't taken lightly by whoever it was that was responsible for categorising all the famous people in the world. Oh no. Another part of the task must have been to filter out those people who are quite obviously famous, but the term "celebrity" just wasn't right. People such as the Queen and George W. Bush, and even historical figures like Isaac Newton had their celebrity status revoked to ensure the accuracy of the lists, from A to Z.

Inevitably though there are always going to be inaccuracies. You're always going to get fish slipping through the net. With this in mind, we present to you Pete Doherty.



Come on... Just look at him. We've been racking our brains for the last two months trying to work out exactly WHY this guy is considered a celebrity. Not a week goes by where there isn't a "PETE DOHERTY IN << insert random arsehole incident here >> SHOCKER!!" story in a newspaper, or being reported on the radio and television. But no matter what, we are still at a complete and utter loss as to exactly why we're supposed to give a shit.

Andy Warhol's "everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" quote has never rang so true. Unfortunately for us, in Doherty's case that 15 minutes seems to have dragged on for way too long.
