Pete Doherty obsessed with Scientology
We haven't written about drug-addled musico Pete Doherty since he and Kate Moss split for the last time (mostly because we don't know anyone who has ever heard a Babyshambles song), but the U.K.'s Sun is bringing him to our backyard by saying he wants to be a Scientologist.
Apparently the 29-year-old singer is "hooked on the barmy religion, which believes humans are an exiled race from outer space," the tabloid reports. He has apparently bought a bunch of books on Scientology after meeting with DJ Nadine Ruddy, who is a Scientologer herself.
"Nadine is really into Scientology," a source says. "She takes her beliefs very seriously. Pete's chatted a lot with her about it."
Frankly, we could say something about wasted celebroids believing in that stuff, but we're more interested in ridiculing England for making a guy who looks like a drunken 12-year-old famous in the first place.

Make this your daily (heck, hourly) stop for a fresh serving of pop smarts and cool things from around Tampa Bay and the nation. Compiled by tbt* jack-of-all-trades Joshua Gillin and his merry band of rogue journalists, it pokes fun at ridiculous celebrity worship, compiles entertainment tidbits and features fun links to amuse and amaze you and your friends.
Do you know of any other religion that DOESN'T believe outlandish, silly-sounding, ludicrous and scientifically impossible things in its creation myth? Get over it and leave the Scientologists alone already.
