Just as “too old” Kate Moss was dropped as the “face” of underwear fashion house Agent Provocateur, a job with an annual paycheck of $1 million, Pete Doherty chose to have a fling with a South African brunette he met and was seen snogging with at London’s Crystal club on Thursday night – a possible rebound retaliation after an major argument with Moss. “When he first arrived, Pete was showing off, standing on his chair and dancing like a loon,” said a source. “Then he wandered about and ended up talking to this girl in a revealing tight white dress.” Witnesses say Doherty and this woman, called Lindy, got into a cab together and sped off to a party at a friend’s house, where they spent a long time in a bedroom. Apparently, friends have chosen to side with Doherty, playing dumb when Moss came calling to ask where her missing boyfriend was. Or perhaps they were protecting her. “Hearing about him spending the night with another girl will eat her up,” said a friend. “They have a tempestuous relationship at the best of times.” It’s the kind of love only a double dose of poison can cure.
