Pete Doherty commissioned a sculpture of himself being crucified Jesus-style. Apparently, Pete and his friend artist Nick Reynolds feel Pete is a tortured Messiah, according to The Sun:
The “disturbing artwork” will be carved in marble and show Doherty being tortured, surrounded by strips of newspapers — symbolising his crucifixion by the media.
Reynolds insists he came up with the idea a long time ago and it has taken three years to come to fruition.
The Sun received behind-the-scenes photos of the sculpting process from Pete and the irony wasn’t lost on them:
Unfortunately Pete looks more like Han Solo when he is in his carbon coffin in Jabba’s Palace in Star Wars than Michaelangelo’s David.
The exclusive behind-the-scenes pictures above of Pete’s plaster session were given to me — for a bit of publicity. Er, just a minute. Any slight contradiction here, Mr Doherty?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, Pete Doherty comparing himself to Jesus is understandable. They’re both imaginary characters. Makes sense. But Pete Doherty as Han Motherfucking Solo?! BLASPHEMY!

I’ve got a mallet and some old railroad spikes… are we taking volunteers to perform this public service? Pick me, pick me!!!

He looks like Barack Osamas long lost white relative.

Nice to see the comments writer has traded his eternal salvation for unfunny hipster witticisms about Star Wars. You’re a smart one, you are.

Pete Doughball could well be Jesus, they’re both pathetic, fake pieces of crap…….
FRIST!!! | June 11, 2008 at 10:37 am
Oh, Pete…you will always be Jesus to me.
As long as you share..
Elliot_Spitz_On_Her | June 11, 2008 at 10:40 am

4 – Bo Diddly
5 – James Brown
6 – Ike Turner (well his pimp hand actually…)
7 – Mike Tyson
8 – Condi Rice (ready in 5 minutes if you get her hot enough…)

I’ll be doing my top 10 honkies next… to be followed by slants, wetbacks, towelheads, and dotheads…
Megan | June 11, 2008 at 10:40 am
Oh, Fish, now you’re going to have the Jesus freaks all in a tizzy. Tsk, tsk.
Mike – It was a nice trade-off =)

@9 – What about MLK and Ali?

Nice stain in Pic 4. Was that Monica’s blazer?
Lola | June 11, 2008 at 10:53 am
This dude needs to be ran over with a semi about 30 times…. It would only take one time to kill him but the 29 more times is to make sure there are no remnants of him left on ther street…… How in the world can this ugly piece of trash be a celebrity? Look at him? I feel like dumping hot water and disinfectant on him to bathe him and using a toilet brush to brush his teeth. Only crack-heads like Kate Moss and Amy Whorehouse would ever let this walking disease come anywhere near them or their cooter

Oh and Superficial writer, you really shouldn’t make comments about Jesus being imaginary and whatnot….. THAT is blasphemy and nothing to joke about

#9… God wants to teach you a lesson today.
You will fall on the stairs and hurt your knee.
You will not be able to walk fast and you will be hit by a boy on a bicycle.
You will fall flat on your face and break your nose.
You will bleed all over you best shirt.
The stains will never come out.
You will be marked for life!

He’s perpetually off his head!
Why do Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse’s fella look exactly the same??! I think it could be the stupid hats.
I reckon Amy will hook up with this jerkoff while her hubby is in prison, and then when he’s released there’ll be a bloody brawl in the street and needlestick injuries aplenty as the two boys try to infect each other with AIDS.

#11 – He very specifically asked for niggas, not American heroes.
Hey mimi, I wanna teach you 2 lessons today, the first involves mastery of the “Post Your Comment” button while the second involves you kneeling in front of me, shorts puddled around my ankles, bruising yor uvula and testing your gag reflex.
Jimbo | June 11, 2008 at 11:04 am
@9, Damn Elliot, you have angered the gods!!! So where is that list of the top 10 honkies, slants, wetbacks, towelheads, and dotheads??
nipolian | June 11, 2008 at 11:05 am
Jesus freaks

Handing tickets out for God
Turning back

Yeah, I’d hit it. With a wet newspaper.
janex | June 11, 2008 at 11:14 am
@25 – I stand corrected. Apologies.
Auntie Kryst | June 11, 2008 at 11:17 am
@9 Elliott, be careful on the top 10 honkies list. There are many subgenres to consider among them: limeys, heebs, bohunks, wops, frogs, paddys, krauts, and squareheads to name but a few..
blp | June 11, 2008 at 11:33 am
I’d love to bang some nails through his perma-sweaty face!
monkeyfightclub | June 11, 2008 at 11:36 am

janex | June 11, 2008 at 11:48 am
Coincidence that Elliot is number 9 today?

Top Ten Honkies
1 – Clarence Thomas (say what you want, but it’s a rock solid first choice)
2 – Opie/ Richie Cunningham
3 – The perma-smile dude on the Male Enhancement commercials

10 – L Ron Hubbard (TCLTC)

LMAO slam dunk
Navel Gazer | June 11, 2008 at 11:52 am
@9 You so funny. Mr. T is the very top.
Navel Gazer | June 11, 2008 at 11:54 am
@9 — This is why #30 could be HBIC
= I nominate myself for the top Bohunk list. I am personally responsible for putting algae on the endangered species list.
Elliot_Spitz_On_Her | June 11, 2008 at 11:57 am
#30 – I tried to keep my list as WASPy as possible, hence Mr. Thomas in the first position…

#36 – (smacks self… hard) How could I forget Mr T? He can replace Eminem in spot #11…

Am I the only one who noticed the “his self”? Probably because it was the only thing that caught my eye in this completely useless post. Meh.
Auntie Kryst | June 11, 2008 at 12:07 pm
@37 I think you just burned me, but for the life of me I don’t understand it. I’ll just say “well played” in advance.. FYI for the record, I’m no bohunk. I’m a shiftless drunken mick..
@38 If you were going for WASPs where is Maj. Winchester on that list?
Lola | June 11, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Thanks for that navel Gazer…. Do me a favor, go choke on your mother’s cock while you’re at it too stupid ass. I sure as hell wasn’t talking to you so dont’ say shit to me fucktard
